My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 207

"What the heck? They are two ticking time bombs, then! The higher-ups only ordered us to get our hands on these

two. When they take these women away, we would be completely helpless in Bryxton! They're making us the

scapegoats!"

A merciless voice boomed. "Let's get rid of these two women fast. Leave some clues for their bodyguards to follow

up. If those two men can't find their women, they might take revenge on us. How dare the higher-ups use us as

scapegoats! We need to beat them at their own game."

"Two men? Who?"

Someone answered, "Shawn Xenos and Rudy Adams."

The men wasted no time placing us into the car. Since the performance went on for a while more, our bodyguards

did not notice that we were gone. Thankfully, our abductors said they would leave clues on the way.

On top of that, I was using a mobile phone given by the Xenoses. Once the bodyguards noticed our absence, they

could locate us soon.

Ten minutes later, I heard the chopping sound of a helicopter, where May and I were carried into. Not long after, a

pair of hands fumbled across my body, and I sensed that someone had taken away my phone.

He scoffed, "Huh. Her GPS is on."

Someone said to him, "We've been discovered."

"Let's get to the border for now."

When the helicopter took off, I could feel the same pair of hands caressing the skin of my belly. I felt sick from the

cold touch, and slowly, his fingers started to venture inappropriately.

Angered, I 'woke up' and stared at him wide-eyed. He chuckled and told his companion, "Look! I told you that she

was faking it, but you don't believe me."

To my surprise, the man in front of me was handsome and captivating—even more so than Diego. His eyes were

almond-shaped, and he looked like an alluring siren.

Blinking, I collected myself and demanded to know. "Who are you?" After all the life-changing experiences in the

past year, I was trained to face any happening with calmness.

"Heh. Little girl, do you want to guess?"

He's calling me a little girl…

I fired back, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-four."

I said calmly, "We're the same age."

"Bertie, look at her chatting away with you."

Turns out his name is Bertie.

"That's okay. It's a long journey anyway."

The man beside him left. He suddenly inched closer and whispered, "Are you Shawn's woman?"

"Yeah, and you abducted me."

He was close enough for me to see the tiny facial hairs on his face. His skin, however, was so smooth and without

any open pores. It was as if he had put on foundation, but he did not.

With a clear voice, he explained, "I didn't want to abduct you at first, but my client gave me a sky-high offer. I'd

need you to bear with me for a little more. Don't worry. I guarantee that your life won't be threatened."

Talk about a carrot-and-stick approach! Plus, I would not trust his words.

Still, I struggled with an inner conflict because he looked innocent. "Do you think I'll believe you?"

He wanted to explain further, but his companion returned and admonished him, "Bertie, are you trying to be a nice

guy again?"

He grinned. "Nope."

Has he been lying to me?

The man warned him, "Anyway, we will leave as soon as we reach the border. I won't stop you if you want to stay

and protect them, but I won't help if Old Mr. Saunders punishes you."

"Tsk tsk. How heartless of you."

The man retorted, "Whatever."

Bertie reached out to touch the tattoo on my belly, which he immediately recognized. "Is that a lisianthus flower?

It's my mom's favorite."

The cold touch of his fingertips sent electric waves across my body, so I told him off, "Don't touch me."

When he noticed my frown, he said in a pitiful tone, "I just wanted to touch. Why did you yell at me?"

I was at a loss for words as if I was the one who had abducted him, not the other way around. I breathed deeply to

remind myself to stay calm.

Looking at May, who was still unconscious with blood on her forehead, I asked him with concern, "Is she alright?"

"No biggie. She'll wake up soon."

I wanted to say more, but he left for his companion and whispered something. A few hours later, we landed at the

Russian border. I shivered from head to toe the moment I left the helicopter.

Even Bertie realized that the temperature was unusually cold. He took off his leather fleece jacket, put it on me,

and raised a brow playfully. "Do I treat you well enough?"

"Bertie, stop flirting."

Hearing that, he obediently went back to join his group.

After five minutes of walking, we arrived at a vast land, where we met with twenty or so Caucasians, who were fully

weaponized.

Bertie smiled as his eyes scrunched up. "We brought them here!"

The leader poked fun at him. "I can't believe that the famous Sir Saunders is this young."

To everyone's surprise, the foreign-looking leader could speak fluently in Ruslian, a language that was not

commonly spoken in the country.

Then, Bertie flashed him a bewitching smile. "Oh, I would prefer the adjective 'handsome'."

"Alright. Here are two boxes of gold."

Bertie accepted the gold. Before he left, he passed by me and whispered, "I gotta join my dad's birthday dinner

now. Don't worry. I'll contact Shawn and have him save you!"

What's with this carrot-and-stick approach again?

A breeze swept past, and he promptly vanished from my field of vision.

I had no fear in me. Knowing very well that the abductors spent money to bring us here because they wanted to

bait Shawn and Rudy, I was more worried for the safety of the two men.

"Hey, young lady, aren't you scared?"

I smiled. "Why should I?"

Amused, the leader asked, "Aren't you afraid I'd kill you?"

"Did you pay a hefty sum just to take our lives?"

He gave me a cryptic smile and did not answer. Then, he brought us into the land of Russia. During the trip, May

woke up and was stunned to learn that she had traveled to a new country. It took her a while to pull herself

together before she asked, "Ree, are we going to be okay?"

"We're fine, but I fear that Shawn and Rudy might get into trouble. These men might be planning to annihilate them

in one try."

When I mentioned that Rudy might be implicated, May's face fell. She asked anxiously, "What should we do? It's all

my fault for sneaking out without the bodyguard. He's not even recovered from his injuries!"

"Don't worry. They will come up with a plan."

Shawn and Rudy were at the pinnacle of power, and I trusted that they knew how to deal with the situation to

ensure May's and my safety. Even in a perilous situation, I still held great faith in Shawn as though he would always

be on time to save me from the end of the world. At that moment, I realized that I had trust in him. I gave him all

my trust!

"Ree, I landed him in trouble again."

"No, you did not. Let's have patience."

Our abductors brought us to a villa in the countryside, where no single soul could be seen. Instead, what greeted us

was a vista of vast glaciers. We must be at the north-most end of Russia.

Later, I was imprisoned separately from May. Soon, someone opened the room door, and it revealed a Russian girl

with a royal gown in her arms. She placed it by my side and told me to wear it in Ruslian.

I shook my head and refused to.

Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. "I'll be punished if you don't."

To spare her, I reluctantly put on the intricate royal gown. She gave me a European hairdo and even collected tiny

white flowers, which she turned into a garland and placed on my head. When everything was completed, she finally

left with satisfaction.

In her eyes, I saw timidity and admiration. I was unsure what drove her emotions, but I had no mood to dwell on

that because I was more concerned for Shawn.

A second later, I heard some rustling noises from the window. I dismissed it but was soon distracted by the sounds

again. It sounded like someone was throwing rocks.

I wandered to the window and found an exceptionally good-looking face staring at me from the ground. "How did

you get here?" I gasped.
