The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 196

Chapter 196: The plot gone wrong

Even though James had made plans, the words hit James like a physical blow, stealing the very air from his lungs.

This was not far from his prediction, but the thought of her being taken still shook him up.

How could they take her without triggering any alert?

"Where did you say she was taken?" he asked.
