Chapter 1028

Kenzo knew the area like the back of his hand, almost as if he had anticipated tonight's events all along. Letting go of Brielle, he vaulted over the wall in mere seconds, but not before leaning in close to whisper something in her ear. "What if Max just sees you as a stand-in? Maybe, just maybe, you could consider me instead?"

Brielle stood there, staring at the now empty wall, speechless.

How am I supposed to respond to that, Kenzo? You're thanking me for that caramel apple I gave you back then, but I've regretted giving it to you ever since.

That night, she hadn't gotten to enjoy her once-a-year treat. She had questioned herself over and over again why she'd give something so precious to a stranger.

Her heart ached, feeling both lost and wronged over that caramel apple. Little Brielle wasn't as tough back then.

Kenzo had already disappeared.

Brielle turned to Dustin.

Dustin approached, gently tapping her on the head. "Did you plant it?"

A tracker.

They had planned it all. Capturing Kenzo wouldn't be easy. For someone who had managed to evade Dustin for so long, choosing this meeting spot meant catching him alive was nearly impossible.

So, Dustin suggested his team move in early, letting Kenzo take Brielle as a hostage.
