Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1619

It was the dead of night. The bone-chilling wind echoed in their ears, as Stella held onto Keegan and ran fortheir lives. They knew that the abusive man was a mentally unhinged lunatic. Their lives would be at stake once he realized that they were gone.

The desolate surroundings offered no comfort. There was not even a glimmer of light in sight. However, Stella did not care. She continued running with Keegan in one direction, hoping to put as much distance between them and their captors.

After running for what felt like an eternity, Keegan’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

“Keegan!” Stella’s heart tightened, as she called out his name.

“Don’t shout,” Keegan quickly responded, but his voice was weak. “They’ll hear us.”

Stella swallowed her words and crouched down to help Keegan up. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a warm dampness in her hand.

Stella froze. While trembling, she slowly opened her hand. The moonlight was faint, making it impossible to see what was in her palm, but the heavy scent of blood told her what it was.

“Can you tell me where it hurts?” Stella forced herself to ask. Her voice was hoarse.

“It’s nothing serious. I’m fine,” Keegan whispered.

“You’re bleeding. How can you say it’s nothing serious?” Stella started to choke up. “Let me look at the wound,” she said. She tried to lift Keegan by his shirt, but he grabbed her hand and murmured,

“North is in that direction. I heard the sound of water from that way when we arrived. Run along that path. Once you see a bridge, it means you’re not far from the main road.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Stella tried to pull him up, but Keegan held onto her wrist.” Stella, you have to go on without me.”

Stella froze. “What are you talking about?”

“Stella, listen to me. It’s clear that the driver has the final say among them. He won’t let me die, at least not for now.”

Keegan scanned the surroundings and continued speaking in a low voice. “See that grove over there? I’ll head into the woods while you run to the bridge. I’ll try to hide and delay their efforts. Once you’re out, find the police and come back for me. Can you do that?”

“How would you hide in the woods?” Stella asked.

“I can climb a tree. It’s really dark out here. They won’t see me,” Keegan assured.

Lights were already flickering in the distance, indicating that the kidnappers had realized their escape.

Stella clenched her fists, struggling to make a decision.” Hide well. I’ll go find help.”

Keegan smiled and kissed her. “Alright,” he whispered.
