British model Chloe Ayling, who was allegedly kidnapped in Milan to be sold as a sex slave, says she feared for her life during the ordeal.   

The woman was transported in a suitcase in the trunk of a car before being held at a remote location for six days. She said she didn't think she would survive.

Italian police say Chloe Ayling - now back home in South London - was due to be sold online as a sex slave if a ransom demand for $300,000 was not paid. 

"I've been through a terrifying experience. I feared for my life, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour."
