Colby shrugged off his coat and wrapped it around Sophie, pulling her close into his embrace.
"James, you're truly despicable." Colby's voice was cold, tinged with anger.
Outside, Tricia arrived a step behind Colby, now panting from the rush. Colby had dashed upstairs without waiting for her.
"Ms. Sophie!" Tricia entered, saying, "I've already called the police. They'll be here any minute."
"Called the police?" James' gaze turned icy, scoffing at Colby, "Have you lost your mind?"
Colby's involved in the underworld. And he got the guts to call the cops?
At this, Sophie also froze, whispering in rebuke, "Colby! Do you realize what you're doing?"
She wasn't sure if Colby's shady dealings had reached Devonport, but if they had, calling the police would be a risky move.
Colby, with his years in the business, surely knew this.
"A CEO kidnaps his wife late at night, attempting assault, only to be arrested by the police. I think this headline will be quite the sensation in tomorrow's front pages."
Colby's voice was chilling, tightening James' heart. This self-destructive tactic seemed like something Colby would indeed do.
"Mr. Burke! The police are here! Run!" Colt ran in to warn, but it was already too late.
James' face darkened. He gave Colby a cold glance.
The police had made their way up, turning on the lights, and studied James, asking, "Are you James? There's been a report of kidnapping and assault."
"Yes."
James' eyes remained on Sophie. However, Sophie was in Colby's arms, not sparing him a glance.

Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free.
