Capítulo 29: The danger

The asphalt road stretched endlessly before them. With each passing kilometer, the road appeared deserted, only deepening Bella's unsettling feeling. A cold dread settled in her gut.

"Are we lost?" she blurted with a tremor she couldn't control. "I don't think this road will lead to any workplace. Where are you taking me?" she inquired with frenzy. Her heart pounded in her chest, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The man behind the wheel offered no reply, intensifying her doubt. With a frantic sweep of her gaze, Bella took in the desolate landscape. The landscape outside was a vast expanse of wildflowers and bushes swaying gently in the wind. No houses, no people, no help.

"Stop the car," she yelled.

The man remained silent as if he had not heard her.

Driven by fear and desperation, Bella tried to unlock the car, but it was no use. Frustration morphed into a desperate roar, "Stop the car, now!"
