True Love Waits novel Chapter 534

Soon the library had more screams of terror than books. Blair even heard someone shout, "Run!"

The atmosphere was so tense that Blair unconsciously held her breath. She suddenly had a bad feeling about this. She picked up her book and walked to the hallway to see what was happening.

However, before she could figure it out, she was pulled roughly, and a man put his arm around her. She could feel something hard, cold, and sharp pressed against her neck. She lowered her eyes and saw a knife out of the corner of her eye.

The guy controlling her reeked of sweat. Blair fought back the urge to vomit.

She struggled in his grip, but he increased the pressure of the knife. "Don't move!" he shouted. "Or I'll kill you right now!"

When the other students ran to the entrance of the library, a girl with a pale face approached them slowly. In a trembling voice, she pleaded, "Liam, don't do this. Please. Let her go."

The sight of the girl erased his angry expression. His eyes reflected the pain he felt. "It's been ten years. I can't forget you, I can't quit you. I need you, Elma. Be with me, or I'll kill her. And me. You get to watch!"

Not until then did Blair realize that she had become a hostage.

Meeting Elma's horrified and sad eyes, Blair cleared her throat. "Calm down, man. Is that a new knife? Put it down. My neck is so hot. What if you leave a scar? What will I tell my boyfriend?"

While the students were running out of the library, more than ten men in camouflage uniforms stormed into the place.

"Shut up! I don't care what your boyfriend thinks!" Liam spat impatiently.

At that moment, the soldiers appeared on the second floor where the kidnapper was. Blair tried to reason with the kidnapper. "But I don't know you. Or Elma. Why hold me hostage?"

Among the soldiers, a man with no cap whispered in Wesley's ear, "The hostage seems pretty calm. She's not freaking out."

When Wesley saw who the hostage was, he furrowed his brows. 'Blair?'

A year ago, when her parents were trapped in a burning house, she didn't run out of there, but tried to get to the kitchen instead. After she was saved, she crouched on the ground under a tree, quietly weeping. It was not until she was in his arms that she burst out crying.

And now, she was held hostage with a knife pressed against her throat. The kidnapper could kill her without a second thought. But she didn't look nervous at all, and was even trying to talk sense into her assailant.

'She's really awesome, ' he thought.

Blair didn't care that the soldiers showed up, but Liam did. He looked around nervously and then saw a group of men in camouflage uniforms standing at a distance. He was so nervous that he accidentally pushed the knife too hard and cut Blair's neck.

She felt a sharp pain. As a girl sensitive to pain, Blair pouted and said, "Hey hey! Be careful. That hurts."

"Elma...you...you called them?" Liam asked in disbelief as he retreated to the depths of the library, ignoring Blair's pleading.

Elma turned her head to see who Liam was referring to. Then she hurriedly explained, "Nope. Remember the military training? These guys are the instructors. They just happened to be here. You can't fight them. Liam, drop the knife! Please!"

Her words irked Liam to no end. He yelled at the soldiers, "Stay where you are! One more step and I'll kill her!"

Wesley's gaze swept around the library before he put his hands behind his back and moved forward. He made a few gestures to his men without the kidnapper noticing. Then two men left the library.
