The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1143

Mark was worried whether Warren could successfully complete his mission this time, so he was in position outside the door in case things went south.

But Warren was an expert in combat, and he had the advantage of speed and power over a layman. Now that Duncan didn't have a weapon, Warren could capture him quite easily. Their only worry was the safety of the children.

Bang! Warren broke the thin wood with his elbow. With one hand pressed against the window sill, he leapt and barged into the cabin.

His moves were smooth and he was inside the cabin in only a few seconds.

Without wasting any time, he swiftly inspected the whole room, analyzing its structure in case of any emergency.

The cabin was small and there was nothing much blocking his sight. So he immediately caught sight of Duncan who was holding Clark by his little neck tightly.

"S-stop..." Duncan sputtered in panic. Warren's intrusion infuriated him.

Duncan almost lost control of himself. Tensed and furious, he tightened his grip on the little boy's throat. Clark was tied to a chair with a scotch tape covering his mouth.

Clark wiggled, but didn't make a sound. Even if he hadn't been gagged, he couldn't have uttered a word with Duncan squishing his wind pipe.

His evil behavior enraged Warren. 'He threatened me with Vivi's life first. But she is an adult. Now, he dares to do the same to the kids. He really has become a monster, ' he thought, burning in rage.

Warren's movements were agile, and Duncan didn't have the slightest chance to defend himself. Before he knew it, he was pressed against the floor with his arm firmly locked one over the other. "Did you really think that your threat will work on me again and again?" he asked with a sneer.

"I yielded to you earlier because we were in an open field and because you had a gun. But now, you are powerless and my team has you surrounded. If you dare try to escape, those fellows outside will shoot you dead. Understand? This is the end of the line for you."

He glared at the criminal and shouted out to the officers outside, "I got him. The children are safe."

Upon hearing this, Mark and his men went into action.

They were waiting to hear that the children were safe. That was their signal to move in.

It was a piece of cake for the SWAT team to break in. They kicked down the door with ease.

Warren heaved a breath of relief as he looked at his team and then at Duncan, who was now under his control. "Why didn't you just turn yourself in from the start? Why did you have to go through all this trouble? Now, you will have to spend the rest of your life in jail," he said flatly.

Duncan didn't respond. Perhaps he had regained his poise and realized how ridiculous his actions had been.

He used to be an executive of a foreign-owned enterprise with a comfortable life. But now, he was nothing but a petty criminal being arrested in a narrow space in the middle of nowhere.

He might really end up in jail for the rest of his life.

This was not the life that he had wanted. He had never seen this coming in his wildest nightmares. This was far from the future he had mapped out for himself.

But none of them were interested in what Duncan was thinking. They rushed to the two kids, who were bound to chairs.
