Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 540 Leaving

Another five long days passed by without any further developments. Kim was now a wanted man and the entire city was on the alert, yet he still managed to master deception and no trace of him was found.

Brandon's phone number was now completely useless to the investigation. The information about its location hadn't changed as it still indicated that the phone was at Kevin's company.

Unfortunately, Kevin could not rack his brain any further for a possible reason for what was happening.

Besides, Kim no longer seemed to pose a threat to anyone. He had not harassed or threatened anyone. It was if he had no opportunity to do so from wherever he was currently. The general opinion was that it was safe to go about their lives without throwing any caution to the wind.

But just when everyone had become relaxed and somewhat complacent, that was when something disastrous occurred, like a bolt out of the blue.

On that day, the sun had not yet rose and everyone was fast asleep in their warm beds. Suddenly, the shrill ring of Anne's phone woke everyone up, unceremoniously.

Anne was in the middle of a nightmare when she was so rudely awakened. In this dream, Colin stood before her, drenched in blood. He grabbed her around the neck, throttling her, and he was asking furiously why she had caused him such harm.

Just then, her sleep broke.

The caller ID identified that it was Rose. She anxiously rubbed her brow, filled with concern. She thought perhaps Rose was calling regarding something or the other to do with the business. But when the call connected, Rose sounded distraught beyond measure.

"Anne! Someone has attacked Mark and kidnapped him!" Anne could hear from Rose's voice that she was crying. "What should we do? We have to do something! Surely Kim is behind this! What if he tortures my Mark? What if he kills him?!"

The panic in Rose's voice echoed in Anne's ears, tormenting her. Her heart rate escalated dangerously.

Rose and Mark had taken the necessary precautions. In fact, they had enlisted the services of no less than five bodyguards to constantly accompany them. And yet... Kim still managed to abduct Mark.

There was no need to think any further. It could only be Kim. No one else would target them.

"Rose, don't panic - we will find him," Kevin comforted.

Anne closed her eyes, trying to deal with her inner anguish. Kim's warning rang in her ears over and over. A sad smile of utter disbelief played slightly on her lips.

No matter what security precautions were taken, Kim always managed to pierce through them with ease.

He was a man of his word. She didn't capitulate to his request that she should leave her family and go with him to a place that no one would find them, so he was meting out his vengeance on Mark.

'Kim, you really want me dead, isn't it?' she thought.

"Kevin, we really have no choice." Looking at Kevin helplessly, Anne continued, "We have taken as many precautions as humanly possible, and we have still failed dismally. Mark has been abducted.

Kim was brutal enough continuously torture Colin, even cutting his finger off. To what brutish treatment would he submit Mark?

Would he cut off Mark's entire arm?

Colin's bloody form, fresh in her memory from her tormenting nightmare flashed before her eyes once more. Her eyes became bloodshot. Inside herself she couldn't help but berate herself. 'I have already caused such harm to Colin, implicating him in this messy affair. I cannot do the same to Mark, I won't. Rose can't live without him.'

"So you want to leave me and our children?" Kevin's voice was heavy with impotency.
