By admin Love Grows Slowly Novel Ch 8
The day before our divorce cooling–off period ended, I sent a message to Simon.”
The reply I received was shocking.
[Simon is in my hands. If you want him alive, transfer 50% of the Foster family’s shares to me.]
I knew Simon would never joke about something like this, and I felt a surge of anxiety.”
I immediately called him.”
The first call didn’t connect, but I quickly received a callback.@
It was a video call, and there was Simon, tied to a chair.
My blood ran cold.”
The kidnapper warned, “Send a message to Cyrus Foster. Your phone is monitored. If you call the police, I’ll kill Simon.“”
To be safe, I slightly altered the kidnapper’s message and sent it to Cyrus, hoping he would understand my hidden plea and act quickly.”
The kidnapper then ordered, “Come to the warehouse on the outskirts immediately, or I’ll cut off one of Simon’s hands.“\
“His hands are very valuable!“\
“You should understand,” the kidnapper replied coldly.
In the video, Simon was shaking his head desperately, but this only earned him a heavy blow to the abdomen from the kidnapper.”
Seeing his pained, pale face, I had no choice but to agree.<
I rushed to the designated location.
As soon as I arrived, I felt a surge of electricity and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself tied to a chair in the warehouse, taking Simon’s place.
Several masked kidnappers were video chatting with Simon.
The lead kidnapper sneered, “I thought your relationship was really broken, but it seems I was wrong.”
“Thanks to modern Al technology, it’s easy to create a fake video and deceive someone.“}
“You two must be deeply in love, even though you’re about to divorce.”
I turned my head away, not wanting to see Simon in the video, cursing myself for being so foolish.”
My friend was right; feeling sorry for a man only brings trouble.
The kidnappers‘ demand was simple: the Foster family must transfer 50% of their shares to Simon’s uncle, and no one should call the police.[
This demand clearly indicated that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was likely related to the Foster family.”
“You’re incredibly cautious,” Cyrus remarked. “I surrounded myself with people, yet you fixated on those two women.“”
A hazy realization was forming in my mind, but an invisible barrier still obscured the full picture.
With my mouth gagged, I was frustratingly mute.<
The kidnapper pressed on, “Enough stalling. Have what I want ready before sunset…”
“Or I can’t promise this girl will come back in one piece!“}
As the call was about to end, Cyrus cut in abruptly.
”
“No need to wait. I’m ready now.”
My stomach dropped. I shook my head frantically at Cyrus, but the kidnapper caught me, yanking my hair.
On screen, Simon stood behind Cyrus, his face a storm of rage and fear.
“Let her go…” Simon’s voice was a tense whisper.”
A vicious slap cracked across my face.
At that moment, the door was kicked open, and Simon appeared.
Two incapacitated men lay at the entrance, presumably accomplices of the kidnappers.”
The kidnapper, enraged, grabbed me and was about to stab me in the heart with a knife, but Simon intervened just in time.” Despite being injured, he held onto the knife and pulled me into his arms, kicking the kidnapper away with a swift move.!! The police quickly subdued the criminals.%
Seeing Simon’s bleeding hand, I was anxious and tearful.!
He held me tightly, his body trembling, and pleaded.\
“Please don’t divorce me.“\
