Chapter 100 Leo claimed that Bright was taking revenge on him by faking his love for me. I was. confused when I heard the contract thing for the first time. It was a fact that Brightâs dad died in a car crash, so he left his ice hockey career. Then why was Leo lying like that?
Bright didnât pay any heed to Leoâs accusations and pointed out the main gist of the issue, the one I forgot due to this mindâ
boggling conversation.
âYou are here with new allegations; it must be your media teamâs new strategy for public attention. Where are the cameras?
What is the trending topic you have selected this time?â
Leo acted innocent like he didnât plan all the publicity stunts, giving explanations of all sorts. Bright contacted the hospital authorities to end this melodrama in my Villa.
âHow can you be so irresponsible, Chief? Leo had heart surgery, and you allowed him to roam freely without full recovery. Donât you know how dangerous it is?â
Although Leo protested, he couldnât do anything due to Bright. We dragged him back to the hospital for examination.
I scolded him at length.
âYou are creating troubles for yourself, Leo. You should be more careful about your Throwing a dirty glare at his assistant, James, I tried to scare Leo with legal action.
health.â
âIf you donât stop broadcasting my personal matters, I will sue you, Leo. Your legal team. wonât be able to save your ass this time.â
1âdidnât know which part of my threatening was so difficult to understand that Leo mistook it for my care, he held my hand and spoke happily.
âI know you love me, Laura. Only lovers can think good about each other, your care has proved that I am the one in your heart.â
He wiggled his brows to mock Bright who was discussing his case with the doctor.
âDid you hear me, Bright? Laura still loves meou are just her rebound fling, a method to make me jealous.
I will strive thy best to repent, Laura. You will never regret loving me.â
Leoâs enthusiastic speech gave me a mini heart attack, catching me off guard. I was deeply disturbed by his confidence.
Thankfully. Bright noticed my unease and asked the doctor.
âPlease add psych consult for Mr. Leo in the schedule. He needs a psychiatrist for his.
mental illness.
It took us two hours to confirm that Leoâs assistants had deleted all the video from the cameras, they had urged Leo to leave the hospital to express his sincere love for me. It was beyond my mind how Leo could hire a team of lunatics, who were more interested in publicity than his wellâbeing.
It was like paying someone to destroy your life!
Anyway, this hullabaloo wasted my day, I panicked to see the time on my way back. âGosh! Jane and Zoe must be waiting for me!â
Due to the hospitalâs formalities, I literally forgot to pick up my kids from the sports academy. They must be waiting for me after ice hockey practice.
Bright raced the car towards the academy, and we reached there in half an hour, but Zoe and Jane were nowhere to be found.
Only their bags in the waiting room made my heart feel heavy in my chest.
I inquired about my kids from security staff, âWhere are Jane and Zoe?â
The duty guard looked inside the room and gasped, âI saw them here fifteen minutes ago, maâam. They were playing...â
He was reporting to me about their game when Zoe walked out of the bathroom, wiping his hands, âMommy!â
Chapter 100 I felt a bit relieved to see him and asked about ne. âWhere is your sister, Zoe?â
Zoeâs thin brows formed a high arch of astonishment as he looked around and spoke, âJane was right here when I went to the bathroom. W were playing together.â
The guard immediately made an excuse and ran outside, âJane must be buying candy from the vending machine, the kids love it.â
Bright picked up Zoe and we rushed behind him. My heart was thundering in my chest as a nameless uncase throbbed my head, popping worst case scenarios. In addition to the vending machine, I ran to search for Jane in the rink, locker rooms, and bathrooms, but she wasnât in the whole building. I was on the verge of losing my mind when Bright said, âLetâs go and check the CCTV cameraâs footage, Laura. Jane will be safe, donât worry.â
But my sixth sense was signaling me that something terrible happened to my daughter, wasting a moment was putting her life in danger. All my fears were converted into reality when the security staff checked the videos.
The sight of a masked man in a janitorâs uniform placing a handkerchief on my daughterâs face sucked all the air from my lungs.
My world crumbled around me as the tornado of reality hit me with full force.
Jane is kidnapped!â
