464 THREATS AND BLOOD

Azar put me into this mess! Here I was thinking it was going to be a smooth journey but it turns out that it wasn't. I didn't know these people, all I know was Azar terrorize a bunch of people because he is that kind of person but I couldn't do anything to help it. I was just as helpless as they were and now they have come to take revenge on me? Why couldn't they take it on the main culprit instead of innocent people.

My mother wincing in pain brought me out of my thoughts. I watched as her face contorted in discomfort, their brows furrowing and lips pressing into a tight line as they winced in pain. Her eyes squeezed shut, and a sharp intake of breath escaped through clenched teeth as her wrists were tightly bound with ropes, causing a visible strain and discomfort in her body. The tension in her muscles was palpable, and her body language conveyed a sense of agony and helplessness as they struggled against the restraints.
