Leah made it clear she would save Ian no matter what.
As much as he hated her when they were together, Han knew how stubborn she could be.
She would do whatever it took once she set her mind on something.
Dealing with the gangsters was a piece of cake for Han. He even had the time to see Leah
off after taking the gangsters down. She ran toward the warehouse determinedly.
He had wanted to alert her of the dangers she might encounter in the warehouse, but it
seemed she had no need for his advice. She was smart enough to know what she was
getting herself into.
Leah was different now. He felt like he was losing her. The thought made his stomach turn.
After turning right at the end of the alley, Leah arrived at an abandoned warehouse. It
used to be a chemical plant, but it was shut down for violating the regulations.
The air was pungent with a chemical smell. She pushed the gate open. It was pitch dark
inside the warehouse.
She did not find a restrained Ian in the warehouse. Instead, it was eerily quiet in there. The
air was stifling with despair. She called out to Ian, “Are you here, Ian?”
Leah was clueless. Someone turned on the lights in the warehouse and she was blinded by
the light momentarily. She turned around to find a familiar face.
“Sasha?” She couldn’t believe what she saw. Sasha closed the door behind her and she
lifted a cruel smile. “It’s been a while, Sarah.”

“What are you doing here?” Leah asked, stupefied. She wasn’t expecting to find Sasha
here. She continued cautiously, “Did you kidnap Ian?”
Charlie was not always in his right mind. Sasha might have inherited his craziness, so Leah
was not surprised if Sasha had kidnapped Ian.
“Shut your mouth!” Sasha gave Leah a death stare. “You don’t deserve Ian! I could have
been his wife, if you hadn’t stolen him away from me. You’ve destroyed my life!”
Leah frowned. “Let’s be clear. It was you who stole my life, Sasha.”
She could have lived the past ten years happily with her parents, if Charlie had not
swapped her identity with Sasha. Leah and Han could have been happily married.
Unfortunately, Leah did not realize her true identity until it was too late. She had spent the
past ten years living miserably because Sasha stole her identity and her life. It was only
fair for Leah to find her happiness with Ian now.
However, Sasha refused to listen to Leah. She mumbled as she approached Leah with a
dagger, “Once you’re gone, I could return to my life as Sasha White, and I could be with
Ian again.”
Leah retreated. She was at a disadvantage here because Sasha was holding a dagger and
she was empty-handed. She had to buy some time before she could find a way to escape.
She thought about Han briefly. He might help her if he was still nearby. However, she knew
better than to rely on him. He most likely had left by now.
“You love Ian, don’t you?” Leah tried to remain calm as she said slowly. “How could you
kidnap and hurt him if you love him so much?”
“All I want is for him to return to me,” said Sasha, sneering.
Leah felt something was wrong. Sasha had been missing for a while, and nobody including
Ian could find her. Now she planned a kidnapping; it wasn’t something she could carry out
by herself.
“Where have you been, Sasha? Mom is worried sick.” Leah tried to get information from
Sasha.
“Is she?” Sasha was stunned. She hated Leah, but the White family had treated her well
and she still cared for Mr. and Mrs. White.
Leah took the opportunity to run toward the exit. Someone spoke into Sasha’s earpiece,
“Don’t let her get away this time!”
Sasha realized what Leah was trying to do, and she was furious. She caught up with Leah
and she grabbed her hair, pulling her back to where they were standing.
Leah struggled to escape. Sasha pointed her dagger at Leah’s waist threateningly. “If you
don’t want to die, stop moving.” Leah followed Sasha’s order obediently.
Sasha tied Leah to a chair. Leah was baffled by Sasha’s action. She thought Sasha wanted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto kill her. As she was wondering why Sasha kept her alive, the door was pushed open and
a man entered the warehouse.
It was Han. Leah was shocked. She thought he had left. Sasha snickered, “You’re finally
here.”
Sasha lifted a triumphant smile. She never thought Han would fall into her trap.
Han saw Leah being tied to a chair and he sighed. “I told you so. This is a trap.” He was
disappointed she disobeyed him, getting herself into trouble.
“Hello, Mr. Howard, I’m here,” Sasha was annoyed he deliberately ignored her. Han gave
her an icy stare. “What do you want?”
“I have a business proposal for you, Mr. Howard,” Sasha smiled. Han waited for her to
continue.
“I could spare her life if you give me something I want,” Sasha said. Han was amused.
“What makes you think I care if she lives or dies?”
Sasha’s face fell. She stared at Han. “You have feelings for her, don’t you?” She had to be
right. Han wouldn’t have taken all the trouble to get here if he didn’t have feelings for
Leah.
“I have feelings for her?” Han’s eyes were without warmth. “Are you serious?” Everyone
who knew the truth would know he hated Leah’s guts.
Sasha looked at him suspiciously and she took a deep breath. What should I do now?
