Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 801

"Alright." Ludwik Lippert pulled the car over.

Danny was pacing in place, "Look at this, the moment his son speaks, off he goes to buy it!"

"Shut it, I said I'd do it, didn't I?" Ludwik barely contained his irritation.

He stepped out of the car, towering figure turning back to caution them, "Can't park here, and it's too much hassle to take you both down. Stay put, don't wander off. I'll be back in two shakes." "Okay!" Danny's tears turned into a smile.

No sooner had Ludwik strode into the mall than his phone vibrated-a message from Ashton Fuller, who had been keeping an eye on the Patrick family for him. Ashton's message was urgent: Ludwik, the kids are in danger! A blend of shock and fear instantly enveloped Ludwik.

He spun around and dashed out of the mall, hurtling back to the car.

"Dad, where's my model..." Danny mumbled when suddenly a black SUV slammed into Ludwik's car with all its might!

"Boys, get down!"

Ludwik roared, pulling both children from the car in a flash. Danny and Sammy were stunned; Danny, in particular, was terrified, still in shock when the vehicle was struck by a massive force, flipping over.

Even Ludwik's robust Range Rover was crushed under the weight of the SUV, spinning several times before crashing into a concrete barrier in the middle of the road, smashing it completely, the car a total wreck.

Ludwik's pupils dilated with cold fury, imagining the certain death they would've faced had the kids still been inside.

Watching his dad's car wrecked, Danny burst into tears, bawling uncontrollably.

Even Sammy, usually so composed, turned ashen, his face a mask of terror.

If Ludwik hadn't dragged them out in time, they would've ended up just like the car-shattered beyond recognition...
