Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 441

“Don’t mention it. She’s your wife, so she’s like a sister–in–law to me.” 

Damian called the local departments of civil aviation and customs, then the ministries of ports, foreign affairs and immigration. 

He also reached out to a contact with links to mercenaries abroad. 

Information came rolling in 

Damian thanked his sources, hang up and called Austyn straight away. 

‘Good news and bad news,‘ he said as soon as Austyn picked up. 

Austyn was in a police mobile command centre barrelling down the highway towards the outskirts. 

Luca and an officer were doing last–minute checks on two drones, to be released the moment they entered the target area. 

“What’s the good news?” Austyn asked. 

‘I found out who’s behind this.‘ 

‘Name? 

‘Sean Santoto.‘ 

Austyn narrowed his eyes. 

He’d heard that name somewhere before. 

Sean Santoro was the vice president of Revency, a media company owned by Liam Came 

Was Cane behind this? 

Austyn upped his plone, “What’s the bad news? 

“The man has help & lot of it. A contact of mine told me a mercenary group touched down in Stamford about a week ago. They’ve gone to ground since. But I think wepest found them. They number about two dozen, all heavily armed

Her hand shook as she reached for the pearl earrings What you did way dangerous. And stupid.” 

How Kita said, freling annoyed and demoralised and terrified all at the same time. 

The wastemdied by what happened just now–she could have been raped. 

She was demoralised because that was the best plan the could come up with–distract the guards and grab the earrings. 

If Austyn were here, he could probably come up with ten different ways to leave this place unscathed. 

Kuna keer she had just average intelligence, and she used to be okay with it. 

But now, when the found herself in deep trouble and what could very well be a life–or–death situation, she wished she were smarter.

The tall one was still hunched over, his fare pale 

The short one was detaining himself with his phone.

Hopefully your friend has realised you’re missing by now. They must really care about you to give you this tracker.”

Martin wasn’t really ber friend, 

He gave her the earrings so Gideon could know where she was at all times. 

She was like a pet to Gideon–to be petted and coddled, but not to be treated as an equal 

For some reason, Gwen didn’t want to mention Gideon’s name to Kita. 

Kira leaned against the cage. All we can do now is wait,‘ 

Gwen agreed. 

She was cold, hungry, thirsty, and tired, but she didn’t dare close her eyes. 

She studied Kira’s face which looked so much like her own. 

Finally, she said, “I was wrong. What you did wasn’t stupid. It was brave, but it was also dangerous. You could’ve…” 

Her voice trailed off. 

she had no idea the girl had it in her. 

Kira rubbed her bare arms. 

They were covered in goosebumps. 

She felt the cold wire cutting into her bare back 

If she had to be kidnapped, she’d much prefer to be in her comfy t–shirt and jeans when it happened. 

‘I know,‘ she said matter–of–factly. But there was no choice. I had to try.” 

“We could have just waited for help to arrive,‘ Gwen said. 

“Your friend wouldn’t know y you are missing till the tracker’s activated, right? Who knows how long that’s going to take 

“What about your friend?” 

Kira thought about Austyn 

He had to have realised she was missing by now. 

She wondered what he was doing. 

Was he on his way here? 

Kira shook her head. ‘I can’t just sit back and do nothing and pin my hope on help that may or may not arrive in time. You know the saying, “God helps those who help themselves.” 

HI 

‘You could’ve told me your plan 

‘There was no time. The men came in before I could talk to you, I had to improvise. Besides.” 

‘Besides what? 

Kira glanced at Gwen. Besides, telling you wouldn’t have made a difference. I would have to be the one to carry out the plan.
