Not Their Daughter, Just the Mistress Chapter 09

Everett woke up the next day and didn’t suspect a thing.

Things had been piling up at Vaughn Holdings and the syndicate. He was stretched thin.

Every night, he came home late.

[Isn’t that ALL your fault, you dumb bitch?

[Because of that dumb watch, you’re about to get kidnapped too.]

[I know this plotline is how Everett finally realizes his feelings, but I really don’t want our FMC getting hurt protecting trash like you…]

?

I stared at the screen in disbelief.

I was already planning to disappear. So why was the FMC still going to get hurt because of me?

Being alive was exhausting.

I watched the comments all afternoon, but they never gave me a when or a where.

I was too scared to leave the house. So I stayed home and waited like a sitting duck.

But the universe wasn’t done with me.

That afternoon, Everett called. His voice was barely there, wrecked and fading. He told me he’d been badly hurt. He was in the hospital.

The room tilted. My mind emptied out like someone had pulled a plug.

I ignored every warning the comments threw at me and drove straight to the hospital.

Halfway there, they boxed me in. Forced my car off the road.

My bodyguards went down fast, outnumbered.

But when they came for me, sneering like I’d go quietly, I fought dirty. Every cell in my body screamed hospital, and I wasn’t stopping.

They couldn’t pin me down.

I fought so hard one of them finally lost it and screamed the truth.

“Are you fucking insane?! That call was a voice clone! We faked the whole thing! Your psycho sugar daddy isn’t hurt! Stop fighting!”

I froze, but only for a second. While they were still yelling, I drove my fist into the nearest face. One arm

shielding my stomach, I spun and kicked until bodies dropped.

Three of them hit the ground

Being a mafia boss’s girl teaches you a few things.

They needed me alive, which meant they were pulling punches. Bad move.

I was actually feeling pretty good about myself.

Then.

One of them, the bald one, staggered up behind me and sprayed something chemical and burning straight

into my eyes.

…Did this kidnapping seriously have to work?

I got cocky.
