True to what Dominic had promised, the engagement was really grand, the cathedral was as splendid as a lavish palace and there was a dedicated security force to keep this place safe. Don't say a person can sneak in here, even if an ant wants to come in here without an invitation, it can't.Thanks to that, I also feel a little more secure.Our engagement was called the engagement of the century by the press between a golden bachelor and the lady of a prestigious family. Many people are curious and eager to know how our engagement will be celebrated, but only a few of the households are invited to our engagement. This made people even more interested in the event.For the past week, every day news related to my and Dominic's engagement has been on the front pages of every newspaper, and everyone has been talking about it."I heard the paparazzi took a picture of Esther Joan's wedding dress. Although the picture is very blurry, I have to say it is the most beautiful and luxurious wedding
The great hall of the cathedral suddenly exploded, a few people were crushed by giant flower pots or pierced by glass fragments, fell to the ground and cried for help. People were screaming and running in panic, many rushing out of the cathedral and rushing away. They even get so scared that they forget to call the police.Who would have thought that in Dominic Arnold's engagement there would be a terrorist bomb?When the bomb went off, Dominic was the fastest to react, he jumped at me and shoved me behind a table. Thanks to that, I was completely unharmed by the terrifying explosion."What the hell?" Dominic's eyes flashed with anger, the first time I've seen such intense anger from him. "Ethan, report the situation."Dominic spoke into the mic in his chest, then I saw him pull a shotgun from his hip. I wonder why he took out the gun, who are you going to shoot? But then I realized this was more than just a bombing. That bomb was just Frederick's 'initial greeting' to a more terrible
I felt my head pounding and throbbing, my whole body shaking continuously as if I was playing a dangerous game. The feeling of hangover made me uncomfortable, but I tried to hold it in. I knew I was kidnapped, and I could even guess who the kidnapper was, but I couldn't figure out why he did it.Frederick said he had a surprise gift for me on my engagement but I didn't expect him to kidnap me like that. I really don't understand this man's mind.At this moment, the car that was carrying me suddenly stopped. I was carried by someone on my shoulder and taken somewhere. Because I was covered by a black hood, I couldn't see anything. Moreover, the effect of the anesthetic is still there, so my mind is still dizzy and not really awake.At first I assumed my kidnapper would throw me in a dungeon or some dirty warehouse. But it turns out I was wrong. I was taken to a bedroom and carefully placed on a soft bed.The person who brought me here helped me untie my hands and remove my black headsc
According to Frederick, he met Dominic a few years ago. Although both are arms dealers, Dominic's reputation is much more famous. Meanwhile, Frederick is a novice so no one knows.Frederick has an older sister. His sister is an ordinary accountant and regularly volunteers in the Middle East. Although Frederick was an arms dealer, he always had his rule, which was not to sell weapons to terrorists. A mafia boss once contacted him asking to buy weapons for his organization but he did not agree.A few months later, he bought thousands of expensive weapons and caused a series of terrorist attacks in Israel. One of them took the life of Frederick's sister. His sister, while volunteering in Israel, was unfortunately shot dead."I'm sure you can guess who sold the weapons to that mafia boss. It was Dominic Arnold." Frederick holds a pistol and wipes it with a white cloth.I watched his every move, but my mind was filled with thoughts of Dominic. To be honest, I never imagined Dominic would b
By the time Dominic arrived, the house was empty. He led people to search and discovered Esther's wedding dress."Sir, the Department of Defense just texted me that a recently licensed private helicopter has left our country.""From Frederick Vincent?""Yes sir.""Is it confirmed that my wife is there now?""Sir, it is currently unknown."Dominic coldly pulled out his phone and dialed an unknown number. After a few seconds, the person picked up the phone."Oh, hello?" The sound was loud and turbulent so his voice was a little hard to hear."Where did you take my wife?""Ah, Dominic Arnold? Hi, why do you have my number?" Frederick spoke in a cheerful voice, glancing briefly at the woman who had fallen asleep beside him."Stop messing around. Tell me, what do you want?" Dominic had absolutely no patience when talking to Frederick."God. You're so grumpy. All in all, it's nothing special. Esther Joan said she wanted to travel, and I'm good at it. So I helped her.""She asked you to take
The silence between the two of us made me feel really confused. The way he talked was like he just confessed to me, but I wasn't excited about it at all. So I decisively pushed him back and moved myself to the side."Listen, no matter what happens, I'm not going to like you. I have someone I love.""I know. You love Dominic. But what does that have to do with the fact that I want you to be with me?" Frederick didn't seem to understand."Of course it does. If I'm in love with someone I can't be with someone else, because it makes me feel uncomfortable." I tried to explain to him."So that means you feel uncomfortable around me?""No... I mean... ah what a headache, do you understand what I'm saying after all?"I felt like I was completely powerless to convince Frederick that we shouldn't be together. He has his own reasons and this man is really stubborn and unruly. No matter how much I try to explain, he will do as he says in the end."Okay, just think about my offer. You probably sti
Frederick frowned when he saw a black horse without a bridle and without a saddle galloping toward them. Its speed is extremely fast, it seems that it is out of control so it keeps running off course. The horse handlers seemed extremely frightened and tried everything to bring the horse back."Esther, get out of the way."Frederick yelled and shoved me so hard that I fell to the side. At that moment, I witnessed a horrifying scene. The black horse ran madly towards Frederick causing him to be sent flying into the sky and then fell to the ground with great force.The subordinates were also surprised, but they quickly reacted, pulling out their guns and shooting the horse dead. That's the only way to keep it from harming anyone further.Frederick was hit by a horse and was seriously injured. His head was bleeding profusely, his stomach was bruised, and many bones were broken. Despite his severe injuries, Frederick was not completely unconscious. He gasped, every time he breathed like th
In the evening, it rained and the road was slippery. One by one, the trucks drifted into a large warehouse. Several subordinates stood smoking and talking to each other, then they took turns unloading the boxes from the truck."Why did the boss suddenly change the gathering location here?""Why are you asking me? You act like I'm the boss. If you have the guts, go and ask him."The subordinate grumbled for a few hours, but then he didn't have the courage to ask about the boss's decision. Usually, their cargo hub is located in another area five miles away. It was both safe and convenient, unnoticed by the police in the Lenox City.Because the goods they transported were a lot of large batches of weapons. If they are caught, they will die.The underlings quickly unloaded the boxes of guns and grenades from the truck and placed them in the storage. At this moment, the sound of an engine sounded. There are cars moving towards the depot. The subordinates looked at each other and were surpr
