Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 831

Keith couldn't help but chuckle, "Listen, darling, it's not about you. I took Elysia for something precious, and it's none of your business. Don't flatter yourself thinking I'd use Elysia and that treasure to blackmail you.

As for our little feud, cool your jets. Once I've reunited Elysia with what she cherishes most, I'll come back for you, Tarquin. Then, you won't have to ask; I'll spill the beans. Just wait for me."

With those words, Keith ended the call and turned off his phone.

He rolled down the window and casually tossed the phone outside.

Elysia's phone was instantly crushed to pieces by a passing car.

Keith rolled up the window and drove off.

Something crossed his mind, his brows furrowed, and a fiery anger rose in his eyes, fierce enough to obliterate everything in its path. But the blaze was fleeting, quickly suppressed.

He sighed deeply, turning to look at Elysia with a softened gaze. She had struggled fiercely just moments ago, and to ease the escape, he had knocked her out. She was still unconscious.

Imagining the joy on his "treasure's" face upon seeing him and Elysia together, Keith couldn't help but smile again, eager to return.

Glancing through the rearview mirror at the car tailing him, a hint of scorn flickered in his eyes.

He picked up his own phone and made a call,

"Let's get this show on the road, stick to the plan."

...

When Elysia woke up, she felt like her stomach was in a twist, on the verge of throwing up.

Before she could even recall what had happened, she saw Keith.

Instinctively, she sat up with a jolt!

The sudden movement made the small boat sway.

Only then did Elysia realize she was on a fishing boat.

The boat was small, occupied only by a boatman, herself, and Keith.

Looking around, there wasn't a soul or another boat in sight, just the endless sea.

The sun had already set, it was late.
