Chapter 59
It’s a famous saying that your opponent only understands your statement when you use their language. And trust me, this method provell its worth tonight.
Their faces took a haunted look as they gawked at me, my hysterical yelling widened their eyes. The goons stood there frozen, trying to process the shock. They found it challenging to believe my words.
But they still considered my warning and started arguing, ignoring me all along. I took advantage of this golden chance and reached for the wireless device hidden on me: my bracelet. A camera with multiple security features was the marvel of technology, I had it on me to record Leo’s confession to expose him in public.
However, I didn’t know that I would use this device for my protection. Now it came in handy, I barely managed to send the signal to the outside world. This device had the useful
feature of sending SOS messages to the emergency contact numbers added. So, I was. hopeful that my brother would come to save me
Soon enough, the kidnappers agreed with a method to improve the ritual and glanced at me. Their sharp eyes immediately caught my unusual moments. Realizing something was off, they got even angrier, resuming their hitting with more force.
“What are you up to, bitch? You can’t distract us from our mission.”
One of them was a tech geek, he proposed the existence of a spy camera. Tears welled my eyes as they began to check my body, I was terrified by the outcome of being. discovered. But I was powerless before those goons!

All my fears turned to reality as they found the device in no time. The tech geek was indeed a genius. The rage of my kidnappers shook the room, making me jump as they screamed in
unison.
“The ritual will start now! Nothing can stop us.”
My heart flipped in my chest as their leader lit a torch, and they all chanted some sort of spell. He pointed out a symbol on the floor before throwing the torch on it, raising fine hair on my nape. A wave of acid welled up from my belly, knotting my stomach, I felt trapped as

the flares of flame slowly ran across the room.
The fear of approaching death froze the blood coursing through my veins, I could no longer see anything but threat. My heart stumbled over its rhythm as I couldn’t even cry due to
fear.
At that moment, my daughter’s face appeared in my mind, making me question my choices. I was blindly following my revenge spree, ignoring the best time to spend with Jane. Had I
gone too far?
Shouldn’t I move forward and forget everything of the past?
My chest ached as I thought about her sadness, praying in my heart for a miracle as every passing second was taking me closer to death. Closing my eyes shut, I was calling my brother in my heart when the loud thud of the door opening resounded in my ears, followed by an authoritative voice echoing in the surroundings.
“Stop! The police are on their way!”
That familiar voice reeled me in astonishment, forcing my eyes open. I was dumbstruck to see that tall figure.
“Leo?”
Behind him was my brother, Henry.
But the gangster was faster than him.
They grabbed my neck tightly to threaten Leo and Henry to stop.
Leo winked at me, and I understood what he meant. I used my elbow to push the kidnapper
hard between the ribs.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Leo tackled him in an instant. This is a common move he often uses when fighting on the ice rink.
Henry was fighting with the second kidnapper. I tried to break free from the restraints on my hands. At this time, the third kidnapper came to me with a baseball bat.
The baseball bat was raised high and then fell hard. I closed my eyes tightly, but the

expected pain did not come.
But I did hear the clear sound of the hit.
I opened my eyes and Leo was in front of me. Blood was running down his cheek. I wanted to say something or do something, but I was almost scared.
Leo was dragged away and beaten and insulted
“Are you the ice hockey star? Mind your own business.”
The kidnapper kicked him hard. “Damn!” Leo curled up tightly, covering his abdomen, and groaned in silence.

The police finally arrived.
Henry got rid of the entanglement, glanced at Leo who was lying on the ground, and did not come forward to help. Instead, he came straight over to untie the rope for me.
“Are you hurt, Laura? Did they injure you?”
Henry’s voice came into my ears as if through a layer of fog, because I couldn’t hear it clearly at all.
But the scene of Leo and Henry fighting off the goons, searching for fire extinguishers in the building, and then putting away the fire played like a film before my eyes. My brain refused to work properly as it was stuck on a point,
“How the hell did Leo reach here?”
The emergency device had a few numbers stored in it; I added my security staff’s numbers besides my brother’s. Then how did I become so stupid and add Leo’s number to it?
Like, what was I even thinking?
It wasn’t that he would care whether I was alive or not, calling him for help was bound to end up in no good. Then my old fantasies about him made me solve the mystery eventually, where I was used to imagining that one day, Leo would change his ways and care for me.
Is that the way it is? But not for me, but for Laura Becker.
“Jesus, you are hurt. You need immediate medical attention.”
The bleeding wound on my hand was the result of my protective shield from a blow, the sight of blood worried him.
After the police took the kidnapper away, Leo lay on the ground by himself.
He seemed to look in our direction, but I looked away.
I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until the ambulance took him away. I can’t tell what I feel
