The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2565

Chapter 2565 

His feet’shuffled backward, a portrait of vulnerability and fear. 

“Who are you?” 

Balfour’s gaze was fixed on Ivy, who was kicked nearly unconscious. Pain etched across his face as if it bled for her. With a surge of anger, he delivered a revenging kick that sent Ellis crashing into the wall and collapsing in a heap. 

“Ah-” 

“Hands up! Don’t even think about resisting. You’re surrounded!” 

Ellis writhed on the ground, his cries slicing through the air, but when Balfour moved to give him another kick, someone intervened. 

“Mr. Howard, our priority is to check on your wife’s condition. We need to get her to the hospital immediately. As for this piece of trash” the voice paused disdainfully, “there will be plenty of time to deal with him later.” 

-Balfour’s clenched fists trembled with barely contained rage. It took a moment before he could turn away and approach Ivy. His heart sank at the sight of the bruises on her face and the blood at the corner of her mouth. 

A single tear fell, landing on Ivy’s cheek, its heat like that of volcanic ash. 

The others remained silent, their earlier assumptions of a mere contractual marriage between Balfour and Ivy shattered. Now it was clear that Balfour loved Ivy to his core. 

Who wouldn’t ache to see their beloved injured and lying in such squalor? 

Even the officers frowned deeply, appalled by the heinous nature of the kidnapping.
