Love Unspoken

Chapter 1427

Now that Luke's been snatched, things are getting dicey, just like when they grabbed Alexander.

Should they off Luke to fix the mess, or keep him around as leverage?

It wouldn't be long before Aron noticed Luke was gone. They could stall for a bit, but not forever. They had to make Luke, Aron's only son, vanish ASAP. Alexander turned to Kyle and said, "He's all yours."

Kyle nodded. "Got it."

Alexander handed him an address, told him to take Luke there, and took off.

Kyle whisked Luke away that night, set up some decoy gear, and cleaned the place spotless.

The area was a slum, full of all sorts of people, so it was pretty chaotic.

Kyle dragged Luke into a room, tied him up, and splashed a basin of water to wake him.

Luke came to, looked around, and started struggling like crazy.

A knife pressed against his neck. "Don't move," Kyle ordered.

Luke froze and looked at Kyle, fear flickering in his eyes.

He'd lived the high life for years and was only thirty; of course, he was scared of dying.

"If you make a sound, I'll cut your tongue out," Kyle warned, then ripped the tape off Luke's mouth, grabbed his phone, and found Aron's number.

"Call Aron and tell him you're going on a business trip," Kyle demanded.

Luke eyed Kyle warily. The water was freezing, and his lips were turning purple. When he spoke, his voice shook.

"Let me go, I'll give you money, as much as you want," Luke begged.

Kyle slapped him. "Don't you get why I'm the one watching you? Say that again, and I'll start with your teeth!"

Despair washed over Luke. If Alexander trusted Kyle to guard him, Kyle had to be solid. No way a bit of cash would sway him.
