Balfour

unflinching demeanor indeed threw the kidnappers for a loop.

After all, the fate of both him and the young girl beside him was firmly in their grasp; they had no

reason to fear Balfour.

The leader of the gang, known to the others simply as Boss, sported a terrifying scar slashing across

his face. He toyed with a sharp switchblade, tapping it provocatively against Balfour’s cheek and

sneered, “I doubt you’d dare pull any stunts with us watching, huh? Where’s the card? Which pocket?

Hand over the cash, and maybe we’ll cut you loose.”

Victoria shivered beside him, feeling the kidnappers closing in. She longed to edge closer to Balfour for

comfort. Though Balfour’s blindfold had been removed, she was deemed inconsequential, and thus,

ignored.

Her subtle attempts to squirm closer angered the Boss, who struck her across the face, sending her

crashing to the ground.

“What do you think you’re doing, you little tramp? Can’t keep still under my watch? Be careful, or I’ll

drag you out and put a bullet in your head! Damn, I hate whiny brats – all tears and no sense. You think

this is some kind of playdate?”

A gaunt man, eager with ill intent, sidled up and licked his lips. “Boss, if you’re sick of this dame, why

not let us take her for a bit of fun?”

Balfour hadn’t expected such vile thoughts from them. His face paled with urgency. “I can give you

money. My grandfather can prepare a hefty sum. But our safety is paramount. You can’t touch this girl.”

Victoria, floored by the man’s blow, didn’t dare make a sound, whimpering softly, fearing that any louder

cries would incite the gang’s wrath.

The other thugs bristled at Balfour’s words. “Hey, who do you think you are? You’re not the high and

mighty Mr. Howard now. You’re our hostage, as easy to snuff out as an ant! Don’t get cocky with us, or

you’ll learn the hard way.”

Yet, as they spoke, they didn’t dare lay a hand on Victoria, all glancing at the Boss and his reaction.

Clearly, his word was law in this gang. Balfour took note of the power dynamic.

The Boss chuckled lowly instead of getting angry. “I didn’t expect you young folks to get into

relationships so early. Aren’t you rich kids playing around just like we did back in the day? Tell me, have

you ever done anything over the line?”

He leaned in close to Balfour, draping an arm over his shoulder. Balfour felt a wave of revulsion, the

stench nearly overwhelming, but he kept his face impassive.

“We haven’t done anything,” he said coolly.

The Boss seemed intrigued, ignoring his men’s pressing questions about how to deal with Victoria.

“Don’t let this kid’s smooth talk fool you, Boss. This chick’s no use to us. Might as well let us have our

fun,” one of the men pressed.

Balfour’s heart raced. He was bound hand and foot, powerless to protect Victoria. The thought of her

being violated in front of him by these thugs was unbearable.

The repeated urging was beginning to visibly annoy the Boss, who turned and shot a lethal glare at the

impatient man.
