Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 281

Meanwhile, over in Joshua's world, things were spiraling. The moment he got Sabrina's call and heard Allison was missing, his mind immediately jumped to Chris. Since Chris had come back to the States, he'd been like a ghost, always slipping through the cracks, armed with a fake identity and a phone number that wasn't even his. Joshua had no way to reach him, and waiting around was driving him up the wall.

"Evening, big brother," came the voice, dripping with mischief.

Joshua's heart skipped a beat. "Did you kidnap Allie?" he demanded.
