No Escape from Love novel Chapter 256

"I can let you go," Lucas said with a faint smile, signaling to the two bodyguards. "Ms. Harper said she knows she was wrong. Let her go."

Hearing his words, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hands toward the two bodyguards who were approaching. "Mr. Schneider said to let me go. Hurry up and untie me."

But the bodyguards simply smiled at her. "Ms. Harper, we're letting you go. Go on. Down you go."

And with that, they shoved her.

Elena felt herself being hurled off the rooftop.

The sudden sensation of weightlessness, combined with the cruel hope she had just been given, completely shattered her. As she plummeted, sheer terror overtook her, pushing out all fear of Lucas. Something far worse had consumed her.

Just as she was certain she was about to die, her fall came to an abrupt halt.

She felt a sharp tug at her ankle, and only then did she realize there was a rope tied around it.

"Lucas!" she screamed, her voice echoing through the entire building. "You pathetic lapdog! If I ever get the chance, I swear I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Her furious roars faded as unconsciousness claimed her.

…

When Elena woke up again, someone was yanking violently at her hair.

"Who the hell—" Elena snapped impatiently.

She opened her eyes, and the sight before her nearly made her pass out again. She was completely naked. And so was the man beside her—Wayne, the executive from Hastings Group.
