Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 126

He was killed before Samuel could interrogate him.

Samuel was raging in the office, "I'll no longer require your services anymore. You have failed me."

He rubbed his pulsing temple after he hung up the phone. Then he started to contact other international mercenaries.

It had been a month and a half since Ella's incident. The only thing Samuel had as evidence were several pictures on his cellphone.

One of these was of a half-naked man on top of a woman, under dim lights.

The woman seemed to be unconscious. It was obvious that she was Ella since she was facing the camera.

Samuel did not know if it was because of the dim light or the man's deliberation that he couldn't identify the man in the picture.

When he tried to call the number that sent the pictures, it turned out to be an invalid number.

He requested for the last known location to be pinged, and it turned out that the last location was by the seaside. The SIM card might have already been thrown into the sea, he thought.

Furious, he smashed his phone on the wall. He didn't know why the person had sent this picture.

It's as if the person wanted to confirm to Samuel that Ella was violated.

Though he had guessed it, Samuel still felt the pain.

He could not wait to avenge for her.

After he bought a new cellphone, he immediately called Emma and told her to wait at the old place.

Emma had been calling him for a month, but Samuel never picked up. When she received this call, she had a bad feeling about it. But decided to meet Samuel anyway.

At the river bank.

It was a cold winter in December and the surface of the river was frozen.

It would be a New Year in a half month. Emma felt sentimental as she thought of Elaine who was in America.

Is it possible that I can spend the holiday by Samuel's side? She thought to herself.

While she was fantasising, a strong force lifted her up and pressed her against the railing with her head bent down.

"Ah!" Emma screamed because it was only three meters between the river and the bank. She would definitely be hurt if she fell.

Who might it be? Why would anyone do this to her? She thought, extremely puzzled. Fear was devouring her nerves, bit by bit.

"Emma, did you ask anyone to kidnap Ella a month and a half ago?" Scowling, Samuel showed no tenderness towards the pale-faced Emma. He felt the desire to kill Emma every time he thought that she might be the person who hurt Ella.

Emma nearly had a mental breakdown after she heard Samuel's voice. How could he do this to me? She barely could believe it. Especially since, she didn't even know what he was talking about.

"No, no. I did not." The moment she denied, Samuel pushed her forward. Two-thirds of her body was now beyond the railing. She was bound to fall into the river at any time.

"Samuel, I truly didn't do it! I don't know what you are talking about. Please... Samuel!" Emma was so frightened that she screeched loudly. She never knew that Samuel could be this horrible.

The woman who could drive him insane and make him want to kill turned out to be Ella. For a moment she felt disillusioned.

"Stubborn, huh? I'll give you one last chance. Otherwise I will throw you into the river." Samuel's voice was even colder than the air around them.

Emma's tears began to fall from her eyes and her lips started to quiver. She took a deep breath and said, "Samuel, I really didn't do anything to Ella." She spoke with such certainty, that

Samuel believed her. He knew she did not lie, so he pulled her back.

Samuel looked at the shivering Emma who had slumped on the ground. He spoke harshly, "Emma, if I find out that you had anything to do with this, I swear that you and your mother will burn in hell!"

"Samuel... I will let you go... And our love ends here!" Before she could restore her wits, Emma wanted to disassociate herself form Samuel.

She didn't want to love him anymore.

Since she didn't have to worry about money, she didn't mind leaving him. She didn't want to be with a devil!
