Irresistible Love novel Chapter 27

Zachary Pov

“What happened to him?” Willi asked as he watched Kristian passed out on the table.

“Nothing. He is just sleeping,” I replied as I looked back at him and shrugged my shoulder at him.

“Sleeping?” Willi looked bewildered as he repeated the word and gave a pointed glare at Kristian’s sleeping form before walking up to me and handing me a tablet which had the CCTV footage. The footage had a white sedan pulling up towards our driveway and it took a turn towards our house, it was what we had in the footage because it disappeared in our lane and the footage to that lane was not found.

“Make sure that the police gets this footage by their own,” I said as I handed the tablet back to him and looked back at Kristian.

“What do you plan to do now?” Willi asked to which I put my hand back on the revolver and pulled it out rotating it from its barrel “You will see.”

The cops got inside the house as I stood their in the corner letting them investigate as they checked every corner of the house for evidence. The bodies of my guards were seized by the police and they were taken away for autopsy.

“Do you have any any doubts upon anyone who could’ve done this? Any enemies?” the officer asked as I nodded my head no.

“Then why do have two guards guarding your house?” the other officer asked and it was when being on a foreign land I told them that I was a businessman from Romania and I was here with my wife for business. When I came back home, I met the dead guards outside of the house and my wife including her friend had gone missing.

“Sir, we found no CCTV footage in lane twenty-five, it was taken down or somebody has deleted it. But I had checked the footage of other lanes and there was this one Suv which seemed common in every lane heading towards twenty-five,” another officer said intervening and handed over some photocopies to the officer who was interrogating me beforehand.

“Find out about the owner and get a search warrant for Mrs. Sullivan and Ms. Richmond,” the officer commanded.

“Meanwhile, you have to come with me to proceed with the formalities to the police station,” he informed me and I nodded agreeing to him. The officer sighed as he turned around only to come face to face with Kristian.

“Officer! You have to find Kiara,” he said enunciating each words making me heave out a sigh.

“Who is he and what does Ms. Richmond’s relation to him?” the officer turned back to me to question me and soon enough I watched as Kristian opened his mouth almost immediately “She is my gir-” I had to interrupt as I said “He is my cousin and Ms. Kiara is my wife’s friend,” I replied and watched as Kristian threw a glare my way.

“I see, don’t worry. We shall find them and also the one who kidnapped them. As you see Mr. Sullivan,” the officer pursed his lips before speaking “due to lack of evidence we can’t really say if they were kidnapped or they went away of their own. I know you would find this outraging but we suspect they might have been the one to kill your guards and destroy the footages,”

“What nonsense!” Kristian butted in almost immediately.

“I’m talking sense. I don’t see any evidence of...you know any kind of scuffle or things out of place,”

“It only means they are the one who did it or the person who did this was of a close acquaintance, who knew everything about them and easily get into the house,” the officer made his point and even though I wanted to tell him about the drugged food, I chose to close my mouth as I watched a cop picking of the dish and putting it inside a sealed packed for sending it to the lab for testing as evidence.

They would definitely find out about it by their own and they would reach the Suv owner on time.

“My wife has nothing to do with it. I can assure you that, and talking about acquaintance, we are here for a short period of time and we have no acquaintance in here who would break into our house,” I said and even though the officer nodded it seemed he didn’t really believe me and it was what I really wanted. I didn’t want him to believe me and dig into it find everything what I wanted him to find.

“Alright then,” he rocked on his heel and turned around to leave but stopped when I called for him “Officer Hugh!”

“Yes?”

“I have a request. As you can see the media is already outside covering the crime scene. Sooner, they will find my identity and the news of my wife getting kidnapped will air on Romania’s news channel as well and I believe it will worsen the condition even more, because I think the kidnapper will get to know about everything about the situation,” I said and he seemed to understand what I meant because he closed his eyes and nodded.

“I understand. We shall keep it in check!” he replied before turning around to leave.

“What now?” Willi asked me as he looked at me from the mirror before me.
