Falling For My Billionaire Savior - Chapter 124: Chapter 124

This café was really private. Most customers were either here for business or couples whispering sweet nothings. There were only private rooms.
Once you closed the door, no one would bother you all day unless you went out to call a waiter.
I was so anxious but had no idea what to do.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. It perked me right up.
"Kate? Kate, are you in there? Open the door." It was Mason.
Oh my god, how did he get here? He must have come to save me. Perfect timing.
I wanted to shout and tell him I'd been kidnapped, but I could hardly make any sounds through the handkerchief.
The soundproofing was too good. He couldn't hear me outside, but Elena heard me.
She put down the phone, walked over, and glared at me fiercely. "Don't make a sound," she hissed. "Or I'll strangle you right now."
The knocking kept going like he wouldn't stop until someone opened up. I could hear the voice outside. "Kate, open up. I know you're in there."
I was so anxious that sweat broke out on my forehead. Elena stood over me, watching me like a hawk. Her hands were on my neck, ready to squeeze any second.
The worst part was that I couldn't say a word. Was I really going to die in my so-called best friend's hands after making it through my jerk ex?
The knocking went on a bit longer. Then I heard Jack's voice. "Mr. Knight, Mrs. Knight probably isn't here. Let's check other floors."
"All right. Let's head to the sixth floor and knock on every door," Mason said.
"Yes, sir," Jack replied.
Then I heard footsteps walking away. They got quieter and quieter until I couldn't hear them at all.
I felt Elena relax, but my heart dropped like it was thrown into a bucket of ice.
"Come with me. I warn you, don't try anything, or I'll kill you." Elena fumbled with the ropes tying me. I smiled to myself.
Once the ropes were off, she'd never hold me down that easily.
But when the ropes came loose, I found I couldn't move. I'd been tied for so long that my circulation was bad, and my legs were numb.
She yanked me toward the door. The moment she opened it, a swift kick sent her flying. Then I fell into a familiar set of arms.
Mason held me close, worry written all over his face. "Kate, are you hurt?"
"I'm terrified." The second I saw him, I couldn't hold back my fear. I sobbed, pounding his chest. "What took you so long? I was freaking out."
"Shh, it's over. I'm here now. Don't cry, baby." Mason soothed me.
Tears streamed down my face. Yeah, I was being dramatic. I wasn't actually in danger, but I felt so wronged and just wanted Mason to feel bad for me.
Jack, clearly tired of my non-stop crying, stepped forward respectfully. "Mr. Knight, what should we do with her?"
Elena lay crumpled in the corner, knocked unconscious by Jack's kick, still out cold.
Mason shot her a look of disgust. "Teach her a lesson she'll never forget."
"Yes, sir." Jack started to move.
"Wait, what are you planning?" I wriggled out of Mason's grasp, stepping between them and Elena. My heart raced as I stared them down.
"Kate, come here. Let's go. This isn't your problem," Mason said firmly.
"No, she needs medical help. She's not in her right mind." I tapped my temple for emphasis.
"Katherine, you're the one not in your right mind. When will you learn? Stop playing the martyr," Mason said. His scowl could've killed. Obviously, he was furious.
