Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 1072:

He hadn’t anticipated that Bryan would react so quickly. Within two hours of Eileen’s kidnapping, Bryan had sealed off the whole city!

Bryan had called Eileen several times, but Christos hadn’t answered the phone. He had only stepped on the gas and tried to escape.

But Alverton was too big to escape.

From the moment he realized he was trapped, he had a sense of foreboding that things would not end well.

But as for how he wanted to die… This topic was too difficult to contemplate.

“Let me go now, and your family will have an intact body to bury,” Eileen added calmly.

“I’ll drop you off at your doorstep, and you can go inside on your own. Just don’t mention my name,” Christos tried to negotiate with Eileen.

He was just over twenty and had been sheltered by Coen and Lydia his whole life. As a result, he was naive about the darker aspects of human nature.

Eileen couldn’t help but feel like negotiating with him was an insult to her intelligence. For the past two days, she had been living in a constant state of fear. And it turned out that this was the person she had been so terrified of. She felt like an idiot.

“Do you think you can escape?” Eileen said.

Bryan was the mastermind behind the people chasing after Christos and Lydia. It was true that they had broken the law, and even more true that Bryan was relentless in his pursuit, refusing to let them off the hook.

Christos dreaded being caught by Bryan even more than being caught by the police. The moment Christos appeared in Alverton, Bryan would automatically assume he was responsible for Eileen’s kidnapping.

Even if Eileen remained tight-lipped, Bryan would persist in his investigation. Christos would not get away with this.

“Eileen, we’re out of food in the car. If you can’t ensure my safety, we’ll both starve to death. I don’t want to harm you, but… if I don’t make it, you can bet I’ll take you down with me,” Christos said.

“Am I the one taken captive, or are you the one I’m rescuing?” Eileen asked, feeling resigned.

“I…” Before Christos could say anything more, his phone rang.

With a finger to his lips, he signaled Eileen to be quiet and then put the call on speakerphone.

“Christos, have you gotten out of Alverton? I’ve arranged for someone to pick you up at the eastern border of Alverton. If push comes to shove, it will be a fierce battle. Since Eileen is your hostage, Bryan won’t dare act recklessly,” Lydia said.

Her voice sounded more domineering than before.noveldrama

“Bryan will catch me before I even get to the eastern border,” Christos said.

There was a brief moment of silence before Lydia’s anxious voice replied, “What? Then, I’ll make a deal with him. Threaten him with my life—he’ll definitely let you out!”

“Why would he let me out?” Christos was skeptical. “Will he give me another chance to kidnap Eileen and fight him? I’ll be lucky if I can make it out alive this time.”
