The Wretched Mistress - Chapter 116

On this particular task, time was of the essence. If some local people saw the news, then Jackson’s subordinates should also be on the lookout.

Since the area where the island that the two occupied was mostly remote, going by boat to scout the area would be hard. Who knew if some other people were hiding in the shadows to watch out for them?

Cefei didn’t want to lose some of his people. But one thing was sure, April was indeed on that Island. The news was real. Just that, what was the current situation on the Island? If the fisherman’s words were true, why is April acting like an infatuated person to her kidnapper?

He felt a heavy feeling inside his chest. Like something bad would occur. The only thing he could think of is that he had to personally see her and save her. For this, they had to make a plan. When Cefei arrived, it was Thursday afternoon. His subordinates that had been keeping an eye on the Island, had informed him that there were no extreme movements in the Island. Since they could go close to the Island, they had to rely on Satellite Images.

The next supplies would arrive on Saturday. This would be the only time that April would be separated from Jackson for a couple of hours. Since there weren’t any big movements, they could only assume that Jackson didn’t know that they had been found. At least, that’s what Cefei was hoping for.

If Jackson was really watching someone’s movements, it would’ve been Alex and his family. Since nobody knew of Cefei and April’s connection, he was out of Jackson’s radar. This was also why he didn’t dare leak the news to Alex, fearing that he’ll only endanger April’s life. Also adding the fact that no one knew that Cefei was the Black Dragon Club’s young lord. It was best for Cefei to make the move personally than wait for someone else to do it.

Thursday afternoon through Friday night, Cefei and his men were planning how to take action. Even if Jackson would be preoccupied with his men, there should be backups who would lure them away from April. While Cefei would take action from behind the Island and stealthily save the damsel.

Although Cefei had a carefree personality, his body was trained in the military. Since his father’s organization wasn’t a small one, their lives would always be at risk. Unlike Alex who only knew how to handle business, Cefei was a military man covered in a business suit.

When Saturday came, a big yacht came cruising in the ocean. Its main destination was the Lover’s Island. When Cefei heard the name of the Island, he couldn’t help but choke on it.

When the yacht anchored near the Island’s port, Cefei and three of his men dived into the waters. The best way to infiltrate the Island was through diving. Satellite shows that April was at the back of the house, sitting near a tree. Coincidentally, It was close to where they are going to pop out.

People were watching the satellite, watching the Island and also the surrounding areas. Aside from Cefei’s men, there were also police from the local area. All we’re waiting for the signal. As soon as their young lord saves April, they will take down Jackson and his men. Everyone was nervous but they all hardened their hearts to any possibility that could happen.

——

It took 10 minutes for them to swim towards the Lover’s Island. Cefei silently signals two of his men to stay and look out, while Cefei and another person go inside.

Cefei removed his oxygen tank and mask and stealthily moved towards the Area where April was. In his ears, his men confirmed that April was still there and Jackson was still inside the house.

The closer Cefei was to her, the more his heart was beating hard. Please, let me save her safely. He prayed silently in his heart. It only took two minutes to maneuver the small forest on the Island before locating her.

She was reading a book, her skin looks healthy. No signs of torture or mistreatment. Cefei felt that his heart sighs in relief. He didn’t want to scare her, so he could only move slowly. Watching out also for a possible ambush. Since everything was clear, Cefei moved behind her and covered her mouth.

Jessica panicked. Someone held her mouth and waist tightly. Not only that, she was dragged away from the house, towards the back of the Island. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t free herself. When they arrived, she saw three men dressed in scuba diving suits watching her. Only then Cefei let her mouth go but still holding her waist.

“April it’s me. Your safe now, I’ll take you back to your family.” The voice from behind her said and then turned her around.

When Jessica turned to see the man who captured her, her brows furrowed. “Who are you?! And why are you kidnapping me?!”

The four men froze, especially Cefei. Didn’t April knew of their Boss? What’s this sudden turn of events?

Cefei’s eyes widen more. He held her shoulders and said. “It’s me, Hugh. Don’t you remember me? We met in LA. I’m saving you from your kidnapper. Your family has been looking for you for a couple of months already, April.”

Although he wasn’t really close to her that much, this should be the reason why she is acting like she doesn’t know him at all.

“April? I think you have the wrong person! My name is Jessica and my husband is Jackson.” Jessica didn’t panicked, although this man was trying to kidnap her. She didn’t feel that this man had ill intentions.

Cefei felt that his heart stopped beating at the moment. Even he couldn’t understand what the hell was going on?! There was no doubt that the person in front of him was April. Was she threatened by Jackson?!

“April, don’t you miss your son? Sky is safe and well. Sky is so worried that he became ill. Your father even came to look for you from the US. Everyone is safe, I will keep you safe.” Cefei wanted to shake her. Making her understand the full situation.

“Sky?” This name brought pain inside her head, while her heart starts feeling of being squeezed. Who is Sky? Why do her heart and chest feel heavy? Her head hurts as well too. Her knees buckled and almost fell.

“April!” Luckily, Cefei was there to hold on to her. “We can’t stay this long here. Let’s move out!”
