The Law of Attraction - Chapter 675

Liam accompanied Chelsy to the military base to use her expertise in computers. Chelsy immediately located the hide-out of the said gang which held Kenzie.

“I’m sorry for getting you involved in this, Mom Chelsy,” Liam whispered as Chelsy sat on a chair in front of the computers.

“Ah, this is nothing dear. Daryl is family. Besides, I need some workout. Good thing I still remember all the important codes. You can leave me now. I  need silence to work efficiently and hopefully, I will be done in an hour,” Chelsy commented with a wink and started her work on the keyboard.

It only took her twenty minutes to locate all of the places frequented by the gang and also their headquarters and passed on the details to the rescue team leader and Daryl.

Meanwhile, after a few more minutes of riding in the car, they stopped once again and someone removed Kenzie’s blindfold and the tie on her hands. Kenzie noticed that she was inside a room and Harry was sitting on a couch. It was like a studio room with a bed in the corner and a door which she presumed led to the restroom. There the kidnappers left Kenzie and Harry alone.

She stood up and started to walk around, looking for things to use to escape as she scanned the room. There were no windows except for a small ventilator that only a cat would fit through.

She looked at Harry with furrowed brows.

“Are you captive too?” Kenzie asked with lifted brows, seeing how the men had also left Harry with her when they locked the door.

“I told you to keep your mouth shut. Because of all your blabbering, something has gone wrong. They are delaying the exchange and they must be formulating a new plan now! I saw one of the men pull up your profile from the computer data! They probably know by now that they can fish out more money from you, rather than by keeping the deal with my mother. Instead of an exchange, this will now be a kidnapping for ransom!” Harry scolded.

Kenzie gulped and felt like she had bit off more than she could chew. Had she made things worse by offering more money to the gang?

‘Oh my God!’ She felt weak and dizzy at the same time. She had just wanted to do something to fix the situation. How could she have been this stupid, realizing the truth in Harry’s words and all the implications.

“I was supposed to be out there with them, but now they are keeping me here inside with you, so I guess the answer to your question is that I have turned into a captive too. Now we have to wait and hope your husband will come up with a plan to get you soon.” Harry hissed.

“If you hadn’t done this in the first place then things won’t be this messy!” Kenzie fired back. How dare this man hiss at her when it was his fault that she was in this situation in the first place.

“This is not the time for pointing fingers! We must form a plan to keep you safe. If I’m right they are now considering a deal with your husband so it’s only a matter of time before they take me out of the equation. Just make sure you keep yourself safe and tell them your husband will not negotiate unless Daryl confirms you are not hurt,” Harry said in a nervous tone.

He was a bit panicky but was trying his best to calm down. Everything was indeed his fault and it was too late now to regret his actions.

The door opened suddenly and it was the gang leader wearing a wide smile on his face.

“Gorgeous, aren’t you hungry? How about having dinner and playing with me while we wait for your husband? It is so much better that you’re pregnant already, don’t you think, and safer too cause I don’t need to worry about impregnating you while we play.”

Kenzie froze at those words and stared at the leader. She did not want to think about the horrifying visuals his eyes and his words were creating in her mind.

Harry saw how Kenzie’s face paled.

“No! What are you doing? She’s supposed to be under my care! If you want dinner then eat with me and let’s discuss the exchange or you won’t get paid at all. Don’t even dream about touching even a hair on her body!” Harry almost yelled through gritted teeth.

“Well, there are going to be some changes, Loverboy. It turns out that you helped us catch a much bigger fish here, so do you think the  agreement between me and your mother still stands?” the man barked out with a mocking smirk.

“My mother has paid you already and you will get more when you complete the task. What are you saying about bigger fish? Surely Cha Group has more than what this woman has!” Harry tried to convince the leader.

“Do you think we are stupid?! This woman has those big groups and even that Cha Group under her control because of her husband. Be grateful that you’re still alive, Loverboy. You might have some use later, so I will keep you breathing for now. But one more stupid remark from you and I won’t hesitate to slit your throat in an instant.” threatened the leader, with a dark face.

Kenzie felt the whole world spinning around her just hearing the conversation. Her stomach was churning and it was suddenly hard for her to breathe until finally everything went blank and she lost consciousness.

“Kenzie! Kenzie!” Harry shouted as he rushed to hold Kenzie in his arms. She felt hot. A fever!

“She’s burning up!” Harry looked at the leader and screamed, “I have told you already that she’s pregnant and you’re scaring her! Do you think you will gain anything with her being sick? Or worse, dead?”
