Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 257

The cold metal pressed tightly onto my forehead, sending chills down my spine. I stayed completely still and did not dare to make a sound. I was afraid that any movement would alert the person in front of me and cause him to pull the trigger.

Never had I imagined something like this happening to me. I thought that this would only happen on TV. At that moment, Christopher was about 10 feet away from the bed, looking at me anxiously as he signaled for me to stay calm with his eyes. That said, his hand was shivering with a gun in it.

I could feel how tense he was just by looking at him as even his fingers were trembling.

“You better stay put, or my finger might just accidentally pull the trigger.” The guy with the gun smirked and raised my chin with his other hand.

It was then that I realized that that man was actually one of the gay couples I saw on the second floor in the afternoon. He did not sound feminine like then. Currently, he sounded vicious and menacing. In that case, he was just faking it in the afternoon.

Sometimes, people’s minds become sharper and clearer when their lives are at stake. For me, now was the moment. I recalled the person called John and the kidnapping. Christopher and Darius also mentioned him at the hospital. The man was a mafia leader in the underworld for some good, long years.

The realization made my pupils constrict. Fear started spreading throughout all my limbs. My lips were shivering even though I was not speaking. No wonder Christopher looked odd when he talked about him. He was worried that I’d get scared.

The man had blood flowing from his abdomen, and he exerted pressure on it as he sat down beside me.

“Don’t be reckless, John,” Christopher spoke calmly.

Hearing that, John burst out into laughter and grabbed my neck. “Mr. Lane, I think you’re confused about the situation. I’m the one with the right to demand here. You should be the one listening to me, or your girl here dies with me. Now, step back and toss that gun away. I’m not going to say that again.”
