The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter 38

My face blanched, my heart beating wildly in panic.

"Did you think you'd be able to run away from me? My dear wife Chris asked, his hot breath fanning my face.

"Let me go," I hissed, trying to pull my hands out of his hold but was of no use.

His hands clamped down tightly around my wrist filling me with disgust.

I always hated it whenever Chris touched me and right now wasn't an exception.

"You'd come with me. Marcos would be happy to know that his precious daughter who was kidnapped was having the time of her life. Chris said with venom dripping down his words.

But I didn't find him.

This was the one moment I needed him but he was off with that little witch as expected.

Wasn't it funny that I was searching for my kidnapper to save me from my father?

Just when I thought I was going to be taken away, someone grabbed my arm, pulling me out of Chris' hold. Finally! Silas came to help me-

I turned around with joy but the smile on my face faltered when came face to face with Matthew.

"Matt?" His name slipped out of my tongue, my surprise obvious on my face.

Matthew wouldn't be able to do anything to stop Chris from taking me, that I was sure of.

We just met today so there was no reason for him to butt into a matter that doesn't concern him.

"Where do you think you're going with her?" Matthew asked, pulling me behind him.
