BD stubbed out his cigarette with a sinister grin. He turned around and approached Melody slowly.

"We may not know each other, but fate seemed to have brought us together today, don't you think? Still, don't you think a million is too little? I was wondering if—"

Melody had anticipated that.

"Money isn't an issue. I can offer you more, but my conditions remain the same," she cut him off.

BD did not seem angry even though she interrupted him. He nodded patiently and said, "Let's go over it again. If everyone finds it reasonable, then we'll all agree. Money is the reason we hustle on these streets. You can make any dream a reality with the right price."

"First," Melody said, "none of you are allowed to touch me. This is non-negotiable, and it's as much for your own sake as it is mine. I don't need to tell you any more about my illness. I'm sure none of you would like to contract it, right? And besides, with money rolling in, you'll get any woman you want."

The guy in the buzzcut grunted in agreement. "You have our assurance there. We're not interested in getting ourselves infected!"

BD tapped his fingers on the bed frame. "Okay. We agree to that. What else?"

"Second." Melody paused, her gaze locking onto his. "I want you to bring to me the person who put you up to this."

BD and the guy with the buzzcut exchanged surprised glances. They did not expect her request to be that simple.

"Aren't you worried we'll take the money and run?" BD asked.

Melody smiled. "Not at all. I'm trapped here, and I'm sure you'll want more money. That person hired you to do a job for them, and I'm simply making a counter-offer by hiring you to do a job for me too. Isn't this a win-win for you? I trust that my requests aren't that difficult for you." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

All she wanted was to ensure her safety while at the same time locating the mastermind behind her abduction.

The blonde listened to BD's negotiation with Melody and felt that accepting that offer was a no-brainer. One million was a lot, but he would not be averse to taking some more!

He piped up from the back and said, "Easy peasy! I'll bring that woman right here to you!"

BD shot him a warning glance. Making it sound so simple weakened their leverage.

Melody remained calm. "Just name your price. If I can pay up, then you'll have my immediate agreement. If not, I won't lead you on."

BD did not beat around the bush. "I won't make excessive demands. Another two million, and the deal is sealed," he said, extending two fingers.

Melody stayed silent, rather than agreeing right away. After a while, she said, "Let me think."

The guy with the buzzcut found it a little puzzling and wondered if she could not fork out that amount of money. Meanwhile, BD observed Melody's expression and noticed that she did not seem too uneasy with their demands.

"Alright." Her unexpected acceptance stunned the room.

"She agreed!" the blonde erupted in glee and jumped on the guy with the buzzcut in a burst of excitement. "Three million! We're all gonna be millionaires!"

"Bring me that woman, and the money is yours," Melody said.

Those thugs were all too eager for the promise of more money.

Tying up Wendy was child's play for them. With the guy in the buzzcut being left to stand guard over Melody, BD and the blonde set off with the remaining men to capture their new target.
