Chapter 1450

Luca sighed, picked up her phone, and unlocked it. She felt a tightness in her chest when she saw thatnews article again.

When Luca woke up the next day, she gently wagged her head and found that she did not feel dizzyanymore.novelbin

Even though Abel had knocked her out, he did not leave her with an internal injury, and she was able torecover quickly.

She faced the mirror and began to remove the bandages around her head. The bandages were quite abother, so she only put a band-aid over the wound.

“You’re awake, Ms. Craw!” The maid was about to call Luca for breakfast, but when she went into thebedroom, she found that Luca was already awake.

Luca nodded as she placed the band-aid on the cotton gauze.

“Are you dressing your wound? Do you need any help?” The maid asked.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already changed it,” Luca carefully ensured that the band-aid was stuck firmly to herforehead. She looked at her face in the mirror and realized that her complexion was terrible.

“Are you feeling better?” The maid was relieved to find that Luca did not blame her.

“I’m fine,” Luca said. After a full day of rest, she thought that she could even go to work.

“That’s good to know. Breakfast is served. Would you like to eat something?” The maid asked with asmile.

Luca nodded. “Alright, I’ll be out soon.”

“Alright,” the maid replied and left the bedroom.

Luca picked up her phone. Abel had not contacted her since the incident, and she did not reportanything to Abel.

Even though she knew that Abel’s minions were keeping a close eye on her, she felt that she shouldtell him something.

Luca told Abel about her current situation, including that Luke was already suspecting that she wasrelated to the Island of Despair and would soon discover his plans.

Two minutes later, she received a message from Abel containing only one word: [Continue.]

Abel wanted Luca to continue carrying out his plan. She should try to stay by Luke’s side.

Luca blinked. The reply was within her expectations, but she wanted to offer some resistance.

Her phone vibrated again as another message from Abel came in: [If you don’t want more people to gethurt because of you, then you should play your role. I want you to become Luke’s woman as soon aspossible.]

Luca read the message twice.

‘To become Luke’s woman…’

She could not fight back and had to listen to what Abel said.

By making Luke fall in love with her, she would be setting him up for her inevitable betrayal…

Luca could tell what Abel would do next. She did not want to obey, but she had no choice. She couldonly take it one step at a time.

“Breakfast is served, Ms. Craw.” Luca heard the voice from outside the bedroom.

Luca came to her senses. “Coming,” she replied while she deleted the message.

Luke was already suspecting her. She had to be extra careful.

Luca put the phone in her pocket and walked out of the bedroom.

After breakfast, she said to the maid, “I’d like to go out for a bit today.”

The maid replied, “Where do you want to go? I’ll come along with you.”

Luca felt like she was a pet, and the maid was one of Luke’s tools to keep her in captivity.

“I want to go to the police station. I’ll be fine by myself,” she said.

The maid looked troubled. “Ms. Craw, Sir said that I have to escort you at all times if you want to leavethe house. He’s worried that no one will take care of you if something happens to you while you’re out.”

Luca realized that the maid was only doing her job, and she did not want to make her life difficult, soshe let the maid accompany her.

The maid smiled and cleaned up the dining table. “Just wait for a moment. I’ll order a cab for us.”

“There’s no rush.” Luca stood up, went to the balcony, and looked at the sky.

She thought that once she was back in A City, she would be free from the prison that was the Island ofDespair. She did not expect that A City was just another prison.

She was under constant surveillance, both by Abel’s minions and Luke’s subordinates.

She was trapped in the middle, tortured by love and pain.

After the maid finished cleaning up, she ordered a cab using her phone.

When they got into the cab, the driver asked, “Where are you going?”

“The police station,” Luca said. The maid was quite surprised to hear that. “Why are you going to thepolice station, Ms. Craw?”

“My identification documents are still there. I want to retrieve them,” she said.

After thinking for some time, she concluded that her identification documents should be with the policeand not in her apartment. If she retrieved her identification documents, she would be able to leaveLuke’s apartment, and he would not have any excuse to keep her there.

As long as she got her identification documents back, what she would do next would be contrary toAbel’s wishes.

She also had to find an excuse to deceive Abel.

Her brain was muddled at the moment, and she could not think of any excuse.

Luca sighed as she looked at the scenery outside the window.

The maid heard that, so she asked her out of concern, “Are you alright, Ms. Craw? Are you feelingunwell?”

“I’m fine,” Luca shook her head and said. Her head did not feel dizzy anymore.

The maid could see that Luca was not lying, and she felt relieved.

At the police station, Luca registered her name and waited for a while before a police officer came overand asked her, “Good morning, are you Ms. Luca Craw?”

“Yes, I am,” Luca said and nodded.

“I’ve viewed your request. You want to retrieve your identification documents collected from the crimescene, right? I went to the forensics department, and they’re still analyzing the objects. We can’t returnthe items to you yet,” the police officer said.

Luca could understand that the police officer had a standard operating procedure to follow, and it wouldbe hard to retrieve her items after only one day. She said, “My briefcase should be here too, right? Ionly want to get my ID back. Can you at least return that to me? It’s not very convenient for me withoutmy ID.”

“Your ID? Please wait for a moment. I’ll go and ask if that’s possible,” the police officer nodded andsaid.

“Thank you.” Luca watched the police officer and took a sip of hot tea from her flask.

The maid was taken aback when she heard that. She picked up her phone and sent Luke a message.

After sending the message, she asked, “Why are you in such a hurry, Dr. Craw? The police will contactyou when they’re done with the investigation.”

“It’s more convenient with my ID,” Luca said.

“What’s so convenient?” The maid asked.

“It’s not very convenient for me to stay at Mr. Crawford’s house. After I get my ID, I can check into ahotel,” Luca told the maid, knowing that the maid had just sent Luke a message.
