Chapter 428
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 428 A Rescue Mission Sonia ran through a list of possible names and faces in her mind but failed to recall anyone she knew with the name Lucius Hayes. However, the name sounded rather familiar to her, like she had heard it somewhere else. That name rings a bell. Where did I hear it?
âThatâs right!â Declan looked away with coldness in his eyes and fiddled with his ring. âIâve been searching for Lucius for a few years, but he is a hard man to find. In fact, he is so good I couldnât find a way to hurt him, so I turned my attention to you.â The man stroked Soniaâs chin with his cold fingers, sending chills down her spine and filling her eyes with horror.
Feeling utterly dismayed, Sonia acknowledged the distress signal her intuition was sending her. This man is definitely creeping me out. âTurned your attention to me?â She gulped and asked through her shivering lips, âWhy me?â
âI just told you. Itâs because youâre the woman Lucius cares about, and since he is my target, I can only execute my plan, starting from you. Once I have you, he is going to come and rescue you, and when he gets here, Iâm going to kill him.â Declan revealed his evil plan with an eerie smile.
âA-Are you going to kill him?â Sonia asked with a shaking voice.
âI can only find peace in his death!â Declan admitted his sinister intention to kill. In fact, he was Robertâs fourth son, as well as his fourth illegitimate son. When Robert was younger, he loved to sleep around, which was why he had so many illegitimate sons. Although Declan was the fourth son, he still had a few other younger half-brothers.
While all of Robertâs illegitimate sons wanted to be the Hayes Familyâs heir to inherit the huge fortune, they all fought among each other, yet Robert did nothing to stop that. Thus, their infighting grew more and more intense, as they all wouldnât rest until they got rid of each other.
Although Robert initially had more than 10 illegitimate sons, most of them were either dead, maimed, or exiled in other countries, leaving only Declan and four other of his half-brothers. Just when the five sons thought the place to be the Hayes Familyâs heir would be a fight among them, they were surprised by Robert, who had no intention of making any of them his heir. Instead, he had been secretly looking for the son that belonged to his wife because that was the legitimate son of the Hayes Family.
Nevertheless, Robertâs legitimate son, Lucius, was cast away from home with his mother when he was 5 years old. Therefore, his half-brothers had never viewed him as an enemy, only to be stunned by Robertâs sudden change in his inclination. Since Robert was growing old and ill, he began to miss his wife and son, so he dispatched his men to search for them, in order to make him his heir.
Because of that, the illegitimate sons were not happy, as they didnât think Lucius deserved to be the Haye Familyâs heir. After all, he was just Robertâs other son who grew up outside of the Hayes Family, despite his legitimacy.
Therefore, the five of them decided to set aside their differences and focus on their common goal, which was toâget rid of Lucius in order to ensure no one stood in their way of inheriting the Hayes Familyâs fortune.
Declan managed to discover Luciusâ whereabouts ahead of his half-brothers, even sending hitmen to either intimidate or kill him. However, none of his plans proved to work, as Lucius was able to get away in one piece every time.
Thus, Declan could no longer wait anymore and decided to take him on by himself. Although he continued to fail his goal, he soon discovered what he deemed to be a turning point when he realized Lucius was close with a woman. Therefore, he sent someone to do some digging about the woman with whom he planned to lure Lucius out to kill him.
Sonia had no idea what was on Declanâs mind, only looking at him in horror. âYouâre scary.â Deep down, she wondered whether people like Declan, Tina, and Titus had a heart, as they seemed to always be filled with bloodlust.
âIâm scary?!â Declan was not mad at the way Sonia described him. Instead, he let out a burst of gleeful and maniacal laughter. âYouâre absolutely right. Iâm scary, and I like to strike fear in peopleâs hearts because that is how I can show the world how great I am!â He spread his arms open and looked up like a savior who was going to help the world.
Sonia curled her lips upward speechlessly, wondering how narcissistic Declan was.
âYoung Master Declan!â one of the muscular kidnappers called out.
Lucius knitted his eyebrows and turned around. âWhatâs the matter?â
The man held the phone. âIâve just sent Lucius a message and told him that we have Sonia captured.â
âDid he reply?â Lucius asked.
âYes, he did.â The man nodded. âJust two words. âYou dare?!â.â
As the man showed Declan the phone, he set his eyes on those words and made a nonchalant grunt. âIt looks like he is pissed off. Thatâs a good thing. Tell him to come to Misty Mountain if he wants to rescue Sonia.â
âAlright,â the man replied and texted back before he waited for another response from Lucius.
In the meantime, Sonia asked, âDonât you think youâre getting ahead of yourself? Why would this guy come over to save me?â
âOh really?â Declan turned around and looked at the lady. âDid you just say he wonât come and save you?â
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again ï¤Chapter 427 âThatâs right. I bet he wonât because I donât even know who the heck Lucius Hayes is. So, Iâm sure he doesnât know me either. For that, what you said about me being the woman he cares the most is not true. Thus, what makes you think he is going to come for me? If I were you, Iâd quit wasting my time on this. Just let me go.â Sonia nervously gazed at Declan, hoping her words could convince the man. After all, she had no idea who Lucius was and thought that this was Declanâs mistake. Maybe this guy will let me go once he finds out Lucius and I donât know each other.
âYou donât know him?â Declan sounded like he had heard a funny joke and laughed out loud.
âWhatâs so funny?â Soniaâs scalp grew numb when she heard his laughter.
Declan folded his arms and replied, âOh my gosh! I thought Lucius told you about his actual identity, but I guess thatâs fine. The most important thing is that you know Lucius, who really cares about you. Thus, Iâm pretty sure he is going to come and save your life. Trust your own charm, wonât you?â
Declan then let go of Soniaâs chin and rubbed her face, but Sonia felt as if there was a snake slithering around her face. Feeling goosebumps all over her body, she backed away to stay out of his reach.
On the other hand, Declan somehow released her from his hand and said, âAlright, just be a good girl and do as youâre told. Then, I might just let you live after I kill Lucius; but if you donât cooperate, Iâm going to kill the both of you. After all, he loves you, so I might as well do him a favor and let you both die together. In fact, he may even thank me for that.â Declan retracted his arm and stepped away from the van when he was done scaring the poor lady.
Meanwhile, Sonia was shivering uncontrollably with horror filling her eyes. This man is going to kill me! Skeptical about Declanâs words to spare her life, she didnât think he would keep his promise because she had already seen his face. Furthermore, she believed he wouldnât let her go in one piece, even if he would let her live.
Oh, man! Is he going to gouge my eyes, cut my tongue or chop my limbs off? He is not going to leave any loose ends behind. At the thought of that, Soniaâs eyes were filled with despair as her heart froze in terror. Thinking that would likely be her end, she hopelessly doubted Charles and the rest would make it there in time to save her.
By the time they find me, Iâll probably be as good as dead. What do I do now?
She was only left with the choice to weep and bite her lip in silence.
