Chapter 9 - End With Her Life (1/2)

Anya was unconscious lying on the backseat of a white seven-seater car. Kyle worriedly looked at her ignoring the bruises on his body and the pain he was in. He turned to the man next to him, ”Why did you hit her? You promised you won't hurt her.”

The man next to Kyle barely glanced at him.

The driver checked on Anya from the rearview mirror. Her face had turned red due to the cold. Even the temperature in the car wasn't high either. If the blazer wasn't there, she would have been trembling. The sight weirdly made him want to turn on the heater for her. He snapped out when he heard Kyle's voice. He controlled his thoughts and focused on getting out of the city quickly.

The man on the shotgun seat laughed mockingly hearing Kyle. ”Mr. Reynolds, you are too naive.” The person next to Kyle sniggered, showing his agreement with the words.

Kyle was alarmed hearing it. He never had an intention of hurting Anya. He wanted to be with her the previous evening and give the hard disk voluntarily to Harper's men so that they don't hurt her. He even thought of convincing her for the sake of her and Zane's life but she didn't give him a chance.

He stammered looking at the three sturdy men. Kyle looked too weak in front of them. ”W-what do you mean? I only told you about her because you won't hurt her. How can you go back on your words?” He stuttered in a flustered tone. He had assumed he was keeping her safe, nevertheless, he ended her up in big trouble.

His words annoyed the men. The man next to Kyle shot him a deadly glare. His raspy voice sent shivers down Kyle's spine, ”If we had gone back on our words, we would have feasted her in the night. Instead of making her unconscious in her sleep. Now shut your bloody mouth and sit.”

Making sleepy Anya unconscious, they had turned the house upside down yet they failed to get the hard disk she had. They found the pen drives which had pictures and videos of the babies.

Failing to get the required hard disk, they returned, keeping their promise, and kept her untouched. Only then did Harper Johnson slap their faces and decide to kidnap her from the house. However, Bernard was too quick to arrive at the location.

He couldn't understand what Bernad had in his mind.

Money?

Bernard could have directly traded with Harper. If he was going round the clock, it only meant they were making the lady as a scapegoat and sacrificing her.

The man glanced at the lady in the back seat. She was peacefully sleeping the previous day when they sneaked in through the windows and now, she is unconscious. They had expected her to be unconscious in the car and she surprised them.

If she stays stubborn without giving the original copy hard disk to them, then her life would become hell. Her family, her innocent child might even be killed. He hoped the matter would be solved soon.

Kyle clenched his fist, trying to overcome his fear, ”I-I will convince her. Don't do anything to her. I-I will speak with President Johnson.” Her safety was what mattered to him at the moment.

The man next to him took his eyes away from Anya and looked at Kyle. He can't promise Kyle anymore. Anya will see them as soon as she wakes up, she might give them the hard disk but she will know them and their identity. She could seek protection from Bernard and write a complaint on Johnsons. It's too risky.

Whatever there was in the coming hours, everything would end with her life. About Kyle, Harper would decide depending on his mood.

However, they still had no idea President Bernad's security was busy tracing the GPS location.
