My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 519

Chapter 519

I didn't quite remember what Ezekiel said, so I looked at Shawn in confusion and replied, "I think he happened to pass by, so we chatted a little."

Shawn prodded stubbornly, "What did you guys talk about?"

"I'm not sure. I think we were talking about his matters before we fell silent until you came."

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pulled me up from the ground. I leaned against him and asked, "Why is Ezekiel here?"

Shawn then placed his arms around my shoulders and pulled me into his arms, saying, "I'm not sure. He came here suddenly, and we didn't even receive any news of him. Let's return to the hotel and get ready to return to Bryxton in the afternoon."

Soon, I accompanied him back to the hotel, with Eins and Zwei trailing behind. The dogs tagged along until we reached the hotel's entrance. "Send them back to Finland and take care of them," he said to the bodyguards standing beside him.

"Sure, Mr. Xenos."

As I watched Eins and Zwei's tails wag from side to side while they were being taken away, I had the urge to keep them with me. On the other hand, the thought flashed before my eyes that Finland was not only our home but also Shawn's home. Since he enjoyed being there, we would probably reside in Finland for the foreseeable future.

We soon returned to the room, and as I walked in, he asked, "What impression do you have of Ezekiel, Ray?"

I frowned and asked, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

He loosened the tie around his neck and replied, "I'm curious."

I took off my shoes and said, "I don't have a strong impression of him. I know he is your enemy, and I even warned him earlier."

"Warn him?"

"Yeah. I told him you were here and asked him why he had to risk his life coming here, but he didn't answer me."

When he heard that, Shawn took off his suit jacket and went to sit on the couch outside the balcony. I sat next to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Why do you look so troubled?"

He hooked his arm around my waist and responded, "I have a hard time making choices."

"What choices?" I asked, feeling puzzled.

It was another beautiful day, and the sun shone brightly on us. The bustling market below us was visible from the balcony. Shawn glanced sideways and said, "There is someone I want to kill, but it would be a pity to kill him. Nonetheless, he keeps challenging my bottom line."

The way he emphasized the word 'kill' was so nonchalant.

"Do I know them?"

"Yes. It's Ezekiel." He was pretty straightforward.

"Why do you think it's a pity?"

"Because I'm luckier than him." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

…

Night had fallen when Shawn and I returned to Bryxton. At that moment, he received a call that required him to leave, so I went to Felix's Villa. When Jennifer saw me, she was shocked and asked, "Why are you back so suddenly? Skyler and River are asleep. Have you had dinner yet?"

I smiled in response. "Nope. Will you cook for me?"

"You—" She then chuckled, "Sure. What are you craving?"

"Anything will do."

After that, I went upstairs. The two kids were asleep, so I crouched down and kissed them before pinching their chubby cheeks. I missed them so much after being away for days. After staying in the room for a few minutes, I headed downstairs. Jennifer was in the kitchen then, and I overheard her asking, "Did you have fun?"

Hugging her arm, I asked, "Did Leon tell you?"

"Yeah. His eyes glowed with envy as he told me you were on your honeymoon. That's why I called you to ask about Francesca."

There was no doubt that Leon wanted to get married and go on a sweet honeymoon, but Francesca… It was a complex subject to broach.

"Everyone has their own way of life, so don't worry too much. The only thing you should do now is to enjoy your life."

Jennifer sighed after hearing my statement. "I shouldn't have worried about them."

Seeing how my mom had let it go, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I ate the pesto pasta she made before taking a shower and went to bed. As soon as I got into bed, I got a text message from May, and it was a message asking for help.

'Ree, I was kidnapped when I left the house earlier, but the kidnapper won't let me contact Alfred. They told me to ask you for help.' Reading the message, I realized May was no longer flustered, even though she had encountered danger.

'Who is it?' I sent a text message back to her.

She didn't text me; instead, she sent me an address through WhatsApp and a smiley face emoji. A smiling emoji… She wants me to be cautious? She was reminding me that the kidnapper was trying to

bait me. However, if they wanted to lure me, they didn't have to kidnap her!

So, why did they choose to target May, then?! Unless their target from the get-go was both of us.

After pondering about potential enemies we might have, I suddenly recalled that Shawn mentioned that Rudy had hunted LG down before. May was the woman Rudy loved, while LG belonged to Ezekiel. Moreover, Ezekiel and Alfred were enemies.

Shawn had told me previously that Ezekiel might attack May while I am LG's enemy. Still, I could not fathom how I became her enemy, but based on a woman's intuition, she seemed desperate to kill me. Thus, I concluded that the kidnapper was her.

She was a merciless woman. Everyone called her a madwoman, and Rudy even called her a lunatic. If I asked anyone for help, it would definitely provoke her. On the other hand, I would definitely be doomed if I went alone. However, I couldn't do something so dangerous.

So, I got up and put on a thin trench coat before going downstairs. Joseph was on duty then, so he inquired upon seeing me. "Is something the matter, ma'am?"

I hummed and ordered, "Get me a car."

Afterward, he instructed someone to send a car over, so I entered the car and started pondering. He asked, "Where are you going, ma'am?"

I waved my hands in dismissal and uttered, "Let me think." I had to devise a plan to rescue May in the safest manner possible, but LG, that lunatic, was waiting for me.

I stayed in the car for half an hour until May called me. As soon as I answered the phone, I shouted, "LG!"

The other party went silent due to shock before uttering, "You're a smart one."

LG is speaking Welian, or perhaps it has become a habit for her after years of living abroad. On the other hand, she switches to Ruslian when speaking with Shawn. I believe she is accommodating him. Anyway, why does she do that? Is she fond of him? If that is the case, why did she betray him? Furthermore, the reason for her return this time is to assist Ezekiel. At that moment, I had thousands of thoughts racing through my head that I couldn't put together.

In a calm tone, I asked, "Where's May?"

"She's right here. When are you coming?"

"What's the rush? I'm on the way."

LG warned, "I have absolutely no patience. I'll give you a half hour, and if you're late by even a minute, I'll draw a cut on her skin. She'll get ten cuts if you're ten minutes late. I'll begin with her legs and work my way up to her face."

She was definitely a psychopath!

After ending the call, I opened the navigation app and entered the address May had sent me via WhatsApp. It was only a twenty-minute drive, but I could not risk going there alone because I knew hell was waiting! On the other hand, the mere thought of May…

"Are you in trouble, ma'am?"
