The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 289
October warily looked at the people who had kidnapped her. There were three kidnappers in total: one driving and two sitting on each side of her. No matter how or what she planned just to escape her current plight, there were just no safe route open for her to take as all of it were dangerous for her and her babies especially which the worst result was something she didn’t want to think at all.
Not helping it, October’s heart was pounding crazily as if it will jump right out of her chest. She dealt with a lot of pressure at work but this was nothing at all. No, it could not even be compared that to her situation right now. Work ends in a bad note with unsuccessful business deals but this now involves her and her babies’ lives.
‘No matter, I have to be strong. I need to survive.’ Taking a deep breath, October thought as determination showed brilliantly on her eyes. She would never give up. Giving up was never an option. She stared off on the sky outside by the window. ‘I don’t know if you can hear me but my darlings, my strong boys, let’s get through this situation together. Mama won’t let anything happen to the both of you. I’ll protect you. And hey, Papa’s on his way to get us, don’t worry.’
October closed her eyes and called out the name that gives her strength and determination.
“Lexus.” She whispered under her breath. ‘Don’t worry. Papa’s on his way to get us.’
Right at this moment, her uneasiness that was piling up in her heart had started to dissipate and was replaced with courage as soon as she thought of Lexus. Yes, there was no other person she trusts with all her heart than this man she calls her husband.
October’s eyes flashed a dark glow when a thought passed which made Lexus feel a very cold wind blow on the back of his neck.
*Riiiing* *Riiiing* *Riiiing*
The man sitting on October’s left pulled out his phone and it was an unregistered number flashing on the screen. This made the man frown. He does not recognize the number and so declined the call with no hesitation. However, the phone rang again and it was the same caller.
After a series of calling and declining, the driver of the car got so annoyed looked at the man holding the phone on the rear-view mirror and said, “Shit Shark, who the fck is that bastard calling you?! Just answer it, goddamnit!”
“I don’t recognize this number! Do you think you’re the only that’s pissed?”
“Fck you! Just answer that bastard’s call. We’ll deal with him if it’s nothing important.” The driving kidnapper cussed again before making a sharp turn whilst driving at high speed which made October yelp in surprise and braced herself from any impact and sudden loss of balance.
Because of this, the phone that was ringing yet again got answered accidentally and came with it a familiar voice though soft yet October instantly recognized. How could she when the voice belonged to someone detested.
‘Lu Xing!’
“Hey you prick! Why do you keep rejecting my calls? Do you want me to not pay you guys in full? Who do you think you are to test me? Can you put your name on the line? Do you know who I am? You bastards will be dead with just a lift of my finger!”
All three kidnappers pricked their ears with a look of hate and disgust. They’ve dealt with a lot of people and had even killed some as part of their job so how can they not know the dangers in their line of business.
Shark, the alias of the kidnapper holding the phone, clenched his jaws as he looked at the number on his phone with hatred and bloodlust. Still, he was able to remain his rationality since he also heard the words “not pay you” which only means that this person has a connection with the man who requested.
Taking a deep breath, he put the phone on his ears and answered, “Who’s this?”
“Ha! You sound so arrogant for a dirty person like you. Just talking to you is making my skin crawl.”
“Hey lady. A person has a limit to how much insult they can take and the person you talking to doesn’t have much.”
She snorted, not at all intimated. She rolled her eyes at him and continued, “I don’t care for you low-lives. I am paying you a lot of money. I can even buy your life.”
“…” Shark’s eyes turned red. He bit his lip so hard that he can taste that rustic yet sweet taste of his blood. He tried so hard to calm down but could not stop his hands from shaking.
“Shark.” The driver called out to him, voice deep and low but enough for all the people there to hear. Somehow or another, Shark stopped shaking while closing his eyes. When it opened back, the anger he had was long gone as if it wasn’t even there.
“Miss, is there something you want?”
“Hmph!” Lu Xing felt that something was wrong but could not put what it was and so shrugged it off and continued. “How’s the job? Are those dirty bastards out of her stomach yet?”
October concentrated on the conversation that Shark and Lu Xing were having. He couldn’t heard much of their conversation and only can make out a few words. And then, she heard the words that made her blood turn ice cold with her heart dropping to the pits of her stomach.
‘bastards’
‘stomach’
Those words and then the woman Lu Xing…October can already connect this dots. Lu Xing hired people to harm her and get rid of the babies she was carrying. It was so simple yet sinister. Her hatred toward Lu Xing just went from a hundred to a thousand.
‘That crazy psychopathic btch!’ October cursed in hate. ‘That venomous covetous snake not only wants my husband but also wants to harm my babies!’
This question made Shark raise his brow.
‘According to her, she is the person that was paying us, in other words, our employer. So that man who contacted us first was just a middleman. For someone of the Park family, one of the top families of City D, to act as a loyal dog to such a young lady means that her background is not to be trifled with.’ Thinking that, he swallowed his anger and started to talk professionally.
“Not yet.” He answered after a short pause. This was also the time when the car slowed down in front of an abandoned warehouse. “We are just about to arrive at our final location.”
“What? Why are you guys so slow?” Lu Xing was so frustrated and restless. The more time delayed, the more her uneasiness grew. “Do it now. Just shove the medicine to her and get done with it then toss her out. No, that’s not enough. Slap her face. Scratch that vixen’s face. Destroy her face to the point that no one can recognize her at all.”
Shark took a quick glance on October who had on a blank cold face which you could not tell what she was thinking.
Beautiful.
This was the only thing he could say yet it was also not enough to describe the woman sitting next to him. Even though she was kidnapped and was pretty much in a very dangerous position, she still did not crack or show any panic or weakness.
“Miss, what if you won’t give us the rest of the money?”
“What do you mean? Are you saying that I don’t any money? That I don’t have any credibility?! How dare you doubt me, you low-life?!” Lu Xing stomped her foot, outraged by the insult, as if her face has just been slapped. The long pause on the other end of the phone made her even more infuriated.
“Don’t you know that Lu family of the City A?! Do you know the head of the Lu family?”
As soon as this was heard, Shark’s eyes dilated. He was surprised but thought that he should not offend this woman any more than he already had.
“I’m sorry, Miss Lu. I just didn’t know that I would’ve had the chance to talk to like this in my entire life.” Shark said with the utmost respect and subservience.
“Save your breath.” Lu Xing snapped. She was pissed at the person but now’s not the time to argue with him as the uneasiness she felt was growing stronger. She can deal with this person later. “Deal with that btch right this instant!”
After that, the call was dropped. Shark took a deep breath and looked at October again, this time a little longer and before.
‘She’s really beautiful but her face just lacks the emotion or expression a normal woman would have. Will she show any emotions when evil come to her or will she remain cold and detach? I want to see it; that gorgeous face that could bring men down to their knees, I want to see more of her emotions, her expressions.’ A though crossed his mind and his heart beat faster before sighing. ‘All because of jealousy.’
A jealous woman really was the most dangerous, the ugliest face of a woman.. However, he was also jealous of the man that caused this.
