Chapter 114 Questioning

The Two Men

Freya massaged the bridge of her nose, her voice tinged with resignation as she muttered, "Understood."

Once the call ended, she scrolled through her contacts to find Kristian's number. She attempted to reach him several times, each attempt thwarted by an automated voice telling her the call couldn't be connected.

With a thoughtful frown, she opted to send him a message, reassuring him of her safety.

As she pressed send, her mind wandered back to something Ashley had mentioned, prompting her to seek out Gerard for more information.

At that moment, Gerard was accompanying Kristian at a remote villa. The buzz of Freya's incoming call caught Gerard's attention, and he glanced towards Kristian, hesitating. "Sir, Ms. Briggs is calling. Should I take it?"

"Not at the moment," Kristian responded, his gaze growing stormier as he reclined on the sofa.

"Understood." Gerard acknowledged, watching the call disconnect on its own.

Once the line went dead, Gerard couldn't help but express his concern. "She likely called to tell you she's safe. Aren't we risking worrying her by not responding?"

"She won't be worried," Kristian said, his voice carrying an icy detachment.

True to his words, Freya was far from worried.

She simply assumed he was simply in a location with poor reception.

Once he confirmed Freya's safety, Kristian initiated his questioning. In the spacious living room of the villa, Kristian, with Gerard loyally standing behind him, confronted two men sitting opposite. Clad in hospital gowns, both looked exceedingly gaunt.

Had Freya been present, she would have recognized them as her kidnappers.

"Who are you, and what was your purpose in kidnapping Freya Briggs?" Kristian inquired, lounging on the sofa with his legs elegantly crossed, his presence radiating undeniable authority.

His mere presence was enough to instill terror.
