Nathan looked warily at Gabriel. He was very tall and was six foot two. There was something chilling about him, and even Nathan felt some jitters when near him.Gabriel was not a man; he was a killing machine.Nathan looked at Gabriel carefully, and Gabriel did the same as he observed Nathan silently. Nathan’s men were already in the lake, but they were quietly floating as Nathan had not given them the next orders. The lake was freezing, but Nathan’s men did not look like they intended to get out of it. Gabriel was quietly impressed at how Nathan was able to control his men so well.Gabriel looked at the castle in the middle of the lake coldly. There was a murderous look in his eye, and he stood out, particularly in the night.A chill went down Nathan’s spine as he frowned.“What does Wanda Emerson mean by this?”Gabriel glanced at Nathan stoically and said without emotions, “Aunt Wanda said that you won’t be able to do anything to Jason here. You’ll only be going to your death
Antoine nodded with trepidation when he heard Nathan’s words.He had not noticed Gabriel and his men arriving as Antoine had been busy fighting at the front with his own men. There would have been no way for Antoine to get out of this alive if Gabriel had chosen to attack him instead.Fortunately, Gabriel was on their side.The Pauls were a troublesome family to deal with. They were very powerful, and if there was no need to fight them face-to-face, Antoine was more than willing to step back. He quickly got his man to retreat.Antoine could not help biting his lip when he saw Gabriel’s tall and towering figure.“That’s a top-notch killing machine.”“Exactly.”Nathan replied to Antoine as he waited anxiously. There were exclamations coming from the bodyguards in the castle, and it took only a few minutes for their voices to completely disappear.Both Nathan and Antoine were shocked.Gabriel’s towering figure appeared once more in front of them. His expression was cold and emoti
Nathan and Antoine did not give up. They searched every corner of every room and even looked through small storage areas and the garbage area.However, they found nothing!Everyone gathered in the castle’s lobby. Nathan and Antoine looked stoic while their men kept reporting that they did not find anything.Where was Eva hidden?Antoine leaned in close to Nathan and said in a low voice, “Could your intel be wrong, Langley? Mrs. Langley might not be in this castle at all.”What he meant to say was that Eva might not have been kidnapped by Jason.Jason was from the Pauls, and they were known for their cruel tactics. All they cared about was profit. However, Jason was not someone who would deny something he had done.If he had really taken Eva, he would admit it and begin negotiations.Nathan looked at Jason standing, who was standing there with a cold look on his face. He said to Antoine, “I believe Gabriel’s intel.”If Wanda said Eva was here, she must be here.It was a strang
Her father and uncles were in prison because of Eva. She was the reason why the Pileggis were destroyed. Bitch! Eva Lane was a bitch!The more Sally thought about it, the angrier she was. She leaned in close to Eva and pushed the dagger against the vein of her neck.A chill went through Eva at the cold sensation of the dagger. The thought of her dying and leaving the children without a mother and the image of how sorrowful Nathan would look made her tear up. Tears began streaming down her face.She did not want to die here, and she was scared.Sally was delighted to see Eva this way. “Are you scared? Are you so scared that you’re crying, bitch? Hahaha! Serves you right, Eva Lane!”She kept moving the dagger around Eva’s neck. The sensation of the cold blade made Eva clench her fingers tighter. Sally seemed to be enjoying this as she said gleefully, “I’m going to savor my revenge on you, Eva Lane. Believe me, I’ll make sure you enjoy a slow death.”“It could be a year, three years
Eva watched the dagger flash coldly in front of her. She clenched her teeth. Even though her arms and wrists were tied up, she could still move.She quickly dodged from the dagger and fell rolling to the floor.Eva felt intense pain in her legs and butt, but she ignored it. She had used every ounce of energy inside her to dodge the dagger. She was gasping for breath.She managed to evade it.There was a vicious look in Sally’s eyes. She lunged at Eva once more with the dagger.She would not let Eva off!It was right then that a flurry of footsteps could be heard coming from above. Judging by the sound, it was not Jason!The footsteps were coming close, and hope appeared on Eva’s face as there was a chance that she could be rescued. Sally looked at Eva coldly with clenched fists.“I’ve been waiting too long for this chance, bitch. I have to kill you tonight!”After that, she took out her dagger and lunged at Eva. The sharp blade came closer to Eva, and Sally was about to stab h
“I’m fine.”Nathan said softly to Eva, “I need to thank your mother for the help. It was really dangerous this time. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have been able to rescue you.”Eva was stunned to hear that.Her mother had saved her?Wanda Emerson?A complicated look appeared on her face, and she felt a deep emotion inside her that she could not explain. She wanted to ask more about it but had no idea where to start.Nathan sighed softly when he saw her expression. He held her hand.“It’s not the time to talk about this. I’ll check with the doctor on your condition first.”Nathan went off to see the doctor. “Can my wife be discharged now, doctor?”“Yes. She didn’t suffer from any serious wounds. It’s alright for her to leave now.”Nathan brought Eva along with the security team back to the hotel with the doctor’s permission. It was almost morning.They went to the children’s room first. They saw Scott sleeping on a mattress on the floor. He was sleeping quite soundly un
Eva shook her head at Rose’s concern.“It’s fine. I can just sleep on the plane.”There was nothing else for Rose to say when Eva said that. Rose nodded and agreed to it.They talked a little about what happened after the kidnapping before Rose and Scott returned to their rooms to get more rest. Nathan got Eva to lie down in bed too.However, both of them could not sleep.Eva hugged Nathan’s arm gently and leaned against his shoulder. She took in his familiar scent and finally felt at peace.“I was so scared, Nathan.”She said to him softly, “I was so scared that Sally Craven would stab me to death and I would never be able to see you and the children again, but I was afraid that Jason would hurt you if you came to rescue me. It made me even more frightened.”Nathan patted her gently on the back as he listened to her gentle voice.His palm seemed to have a special magic that could calm her down. He kissed her gently on the forehead and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. Everything
“Do the Pauls have a grudge against Eva?” Rose asked as she looked straight at Scott. Scott shrugged helplessly as he packed her clothes into the luggage.“I have no idea either. Sally Craven was the one who kidnapped Eva, but I have no idea of any grudge between them.”Rose nodded at his answer.Sally must be the woman she saw that day. However, she did not look familiar to Rose. What exactly happened between her and Eva to make her do something as crazy as to kidnap Eva?Rose had to know the reason!Everyone headed to the airport after that and boarded the flight in a tidy fashion. When the plane went into the air, Nathan came over considerately with food for Eva.“You should have more.”He said to her gently, “Eva, think back carefully. Are there any details you can remember about Sally Craven when she kidnapped you?”They might be able to get some clues from anything Eva remembered. “Her name might be fake. I have to find out about her past. Her mannerisms might give us
