Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 111.

Zane’s POV

I’m at the head of the conference table when Thomas walks in.

He doesn’t knock just walks right on in. That alone is enough to irritate me.

There are six men seated around the table, with their contracts open and tablets out, numbers are on the screen behind m. The air smells like espresso and expensive cologne.

I don’t break my sentence at first.

"...which is why the port acquisition happens before the fourth quarter, not after. If we delay..."

Thomas clears his throat and every head in the room turns toward him.

My jaw tightens. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"We’re in the middle of something, Thomas" I say irritation clear in my voice.

"I know."

"Then get out."

He doesn’t move though and that’s when I know something might be wrong cause Thomas never interrupts my meetings, he’s under strict instructions not to... not unless there’s blood or fire or someone is dying or something worse.

"It’s important," he says.

He stepping further into the room.

"I’d rather you not have my head later for keeping it from you."

I look at the men seated at my table.

"Gentlemen I’ll be five minutes," I say.

No one dares to argue.

I step away from the screen and toward Thomas. We move toward the corner of the room near the glass wall overlooking the city.

"What," I say under my breath.

He leans in slightly, his voice is low.

"Elaine’s been taken."

For a second I don’t process the words.

Taken?.

"What!?"

"She left with Aaron. I guess to go to the hospital but they never made it to the hospital."

The room shifts slightly under my feet.

"Explain."

"Halfway there, two vehicles boxed them in. Aaron’s down and the car’s gone."

"Dead?"

"No, not dead, just a Head injury."

The air I’m breathing feels too thin.

"When."

"Twenty minutes ago."

Twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes and I’ve been discussing port acquisitions.

My face stays still even though Inside, something fractures.

"Where is he now."

"On his way to our private clinic."

"And her?."

Thomas doesn’t answer immediately.

"We’re tracking the SUV," he says finally. "Signal cut out near the river."

My hands feel numb.

"What do you mean you’re tracking the SUV. Where the fuck is my wife!."

"She got hijacjed boss."

Fuck!fuck!fuck!!!!!!!

"Get everyone out," I say quietly, not giving a shit how my board members see me ending the meeting half way is of me.

Thomas turns and addresses the room. "Meeting’s over gentlemen."

Chairs immediately start to scrape, papers shuffling and them murmuring among themselves.

I don’t hear any of it.

All I hear is a single thought repeating.

She left, I told her to wait because it’s not safe..... she didn’t.

And now....

No.

I don’t let the thought finish, she’s fine and she’s safe.

By the time I’m striding out of the building, the lobby is a blur of faces and noise. Security is scrambling.

The front doors slide open and a black car pulls up hard against the curb.
