SWNOVELS Chapter 456
Chapter 456 The staff member hurriedly tried to guide them toward the stairwell , but after just a few steps , Freya suddenly grabbed hold of Francis .
Whats going on ! Stellan froze , confused .
He stopped instinctively , and Selah , who was walking briskly behind , bumped into his back , letting out a quiet grunt .
She looked up and saw Freya had halted Why arent we moving ! Are you all crazy ! The fires already spreading , its reached upstairs ! If we dont leave now , itll be too late ! The staff member panicked , his urgency clear .
He turned back , grabbing Franciss wrist roughly .
Francis stood frozen , his left hand caught in Freyas grip and his right held by the staff member .
He raised an eyebrow , his usual graceful demeanor now Turning colder than ice .
Why is it only you here telling us to leave ! Everyone else is gone .
And Im curious , are you sure this is the way to the stairwell ? Or are you some man named Cuthua with a womans name badge ? Francis sneered .
With that , he yanked his arm away from the staff members grasp , Freya , witnessing this , gave him a thumbs up .
Looks like youre not that dumb after all .
This guys been rushing us , and I felt something was off .
Odalys always said , no matter what happens , keep one eye open .
Tonight , weve been on edge , so dont trust anyone , Freya said coldly .
She pulled Francis back , creating distance from the staff member .
The man , standing in place , stared at them with a mocking smile .
Seems like youre not completely stupid .
But since youve figured it out , its too late to run now , the staff member chuckled darkly Stellans senses went on high alert .
These bodyguards were highly trained , physically fit , and sharp yet , none of them had followed .
Dont bother looking .
Your bodyguards are probably already dead , the man said smugly .
You think you were placed in this room by accident ! No , its because this room is isolated .
Youre trapped , and theres no way out .
Selahs gaze swept around , her eyes widening when she realized they were staying in the last room at the end of the hall .
The hallway had no windows , and unless they returned to their room , there was nowhere else to go .
She took a step back and tried to force the door open , but it was locked .
She went silent Biting her lip , she scanned the area , looking for any way to escape .
50 Call your bodyguards .
I have a feeling this guy isnt as trustworthy as he seems , Selah whispered , keeping her voice low , Stellan took out his phone , checking the signal .
His face dropped when he saw the X where the signal should be .
No signal .
His w voice sank This place couldnt possibly have no signal unless someone had used a signal jammer .
Looks like Odalys was right .
Our foreheads have darkened with ill fortune .
Our fates are connected .
If one of us is in danger , were all in danger , Selah said grimly .
Theyve arranged for us to be in this room on purpose .
Theyve already planted eyes everywhere in the hotel .
Stellan nodded grimly .
He tried dialing 911 , but nothing worked What do you want from us ? Francis stepped forward , putting himself between Freya and the staff member , shielding her .
Come with me .
The staff members tone was calm and unbothered , as though he knew they had no other option .

If youre after me , let them go .
Let them leave unharmed Freya instinctively grabbed hold of the hem of his clothes Hat Francis pressed her hand down , and in an odd way , she felt a sense of calm wash over her .
She exchanged a look with Stellan Without a word , they both shifted their positions , and before the staff membre cold opek .
Forys and Sun lunged at him member didnt expect them in As he sidestepped , Francis kicked him hard in the ribs , his arm being pinned down by Mellan and Preya .
Then Franzis start where it hurt , and the man let out a strangled cry, collapsing to the ground .
Hlali picked up a nearby bottle and smashed it over las head The staff members eyes widened as he clutched his groin , blood seeping from his head wound .
He looked up at them , growing Locks liler goal of Treya , looking horrified , didnt waste another moment We need to get out now , she said , her voice teme as the pointed to the emergency exit sign The group ran down the hall , pushing open the stairwell door , rushing down the steps .
Their breath came in gasps as they ran down sew When Freya finally stopped , panting , she stood frozen , her eyes wide wit with dread .
Freya , whyd you stop ? Selah asked , propping herself up against the wall , breathless Freya didnt answer at first .
She just took a few steps back , her fear escalating as she stared at the stairwell ahead .
We didnt run that far , but … weve been running for so long , we shouldve reached the first floor by r Were still so high up .
We shouldve reached the ground floor by now Her voice cracked , and her hand clutched her throat as she swallowed nervously .
Selahs heart sank .
No it cant be , she whispered .

They were a team , after all .

They could hear the pounding footsteps growing faint as Selah and Stellan went lower Are you guys there yet ? Freya called out , her voice echoing through the stairwell .
