Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157 Kidnap (2)

Rose fastened her seatbelt and the sports car sped off like lightning, the cold wind blowing in through the half-open window clearing her mind a little. She was trembling with nervousness and fear, her lips quivering as she asked, "Will the kids be okay?"

Elliot's expression was cold and serious as he reached out to hold Rose's hand. "They'll be fine. Don't worry, Rose. I'm here."

Perhaps comforted by his words, Rose calmed down a bit and remained quiet all the way until they caught up with their bodyguards' car ahead.

Rose noticed that they had left behind the bustling city streets for open country roads lined with waist-high weeds and wildflowers growing amidst savage forests.

Ahead of them was only their bodyguard's car; beyond that lay an endless stretch of road without any sign of Madeleine or her vehicle.

"Did we lose them? Where did they go?" The anxiety building up inside Rose turned into incessant nagging questions.

Elliot remained patient throughout it all, constantly reassuring her in a soft voice, "Don't worry, we're still following them. They're just up ahead."

"It'll be okay," he added repeatedly.

Half an hour later, the car slowed down considerably as it hit rough terrain causing it to shake violently while Rose held onto anything she could grab for support.

"Let Rose take the call," Madeleine said to Elliot as soon as she answered, without any small talk.

"What are you planning, Madeleine? It would be best if you stopped now while there haven't been any serious consequences yet. Don't engage in these illegal activities," Elliot said with impatience, his tone carrying a hint of serious warning.

Madeleine laughed wildly at this warning from Elliot which even Rose heard clearly beside him.

She pointed at Elliot's phone indicating he should put it on speakerphone mode so they could hear what Madeleine had to say next.

Rose hesitated for a moment before taking it over. "Rose."

"Hi there," came Madeleine's voice from the other end of line. "Surprised? Your kids are in my hands."

"Can you guess where I'm taking them?"

"Madeleine, are you out of your mind?! Do you know what you're doing? This is kidnapping!" Rose hadn't anticipated that Madeleine would act so recklessly and take away her child.

"Kidnapping? Hah, you think it's just kidnapping? I haven't even started yet. And knowing you're following me, what difference does it make? Since you won't let me live in peace, I won't let you either. Today, you'll witness your beloved children dying with me, and you'll be helpless. How do you feel about that?"

"Oh, by the way, Elliot is there too. Everything is falling into place nicely. You'll watch me take your children to their deaths, and you won't be able to do a thing. Isn't that a beautiful scenario?"

Madeleine has gone completely crazy.
