Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 95

What Mrs. Sanders had said threw Leah off. She knew Han was up to something, but she did not expect this. Leah quickly helped Mrs. Sanders up. “What happened? Tell me.”

Mrs. Sanders could not stop sobbing. She shook like a leaf as she tried to speak, “Someone called me this morning saying they have kidnapped Ian. They want you to go to this place or Ian’s gone.”

She took out her phone and showed Leah a text message with an address. Leah read the address, and she noticed it was that of a warehouse.

“Is Ian kidnapped?” Leah said.

Mrs. Sanders nodded. “They asked for you specifically to go there alone. If we tell anyone else about this, they’ll kill Ian! Please, Sarah, please help me to save Ian. You’re the only one to save him now!”

Leah held Mrs. Sanders’ hand and she sighed. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Sanders. I will save Ian and I will bring my fiancé back safely.”

“Thank you, Sarah,” Mrs. Sanders said, teary-eyed. Leah saw her off before returning to the house.

As Leah entered the house, Jane walked into the living room to find Leah ashen-faced with worry. “What happened?” Jane asked, concerned for her daughter.

“Mom.” Leah paused for a moment and she decided not to burden Jane with what happened to Ian. Jane had been through a lot, and Leah did not want her to worry.

“It’s nothing. Ian called to ask me to go out with him.” Leah lied. Jane did not seem to suspect anything. She smiled, “Great! You should spend more time together.”

Leah forced a smile. “I’ll head out now. See you later!” Jane nodded, “Have fun!”

As she got into a cab afterward, Leah gave the driver the address to the warehouse. The driver glanced at her with a worried face. “Are you sure you want to go there alone? I heard it’s a nasty place. It’s not safe for a lady to be there by herself.”

“What do you mean?” Leah asked curiously. The driver answered, “I heard it’s a gangster hangout. I’m not sure how dangerous these people are, but it’s not safe for you to be there alone.”

Leah frowned. She took out her phone and she found the familiar number she did not save as a contact. She thought about contacting Han, but she eventually decided against it.

She recalled what Han had said to her three days ago. He might have had something to do with Ian being kidnapped. After all, he wanted to get back at her.

Leah shook her head. She told the driver to bring her to the warehouse anyway. Moments later, the cab stopped in front of an alley.

The driver pointed to the road ahead, “Walk to the end of this alley, turn right and you’ll see the warehouse. This alley is too narrow for a car to pass through, so you’ll have to get off here.”

Leah nodded and she paid him before getting out of the cab. She took a deep breath before walking toward the warehouse. The cab drove away, and everything went quiet.

It was dark and gloomy in the alley. She held her breath as she walked cautiously. Suddenly, something fell behind her and she jumped. She turned to find a steel pipe on the ground.

“Who’s there?” She asked, her heart racing. A man was slowly approaching her. She could nobt see his face clearly under the shadow, but she could tell who he was from the way he moved.

“Han!” Leah shouted. Han halted and he picked up his pace. He looked surprised to find her there. “What are you doing here?”

Leah raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing here?” She was here to save Ian. There was no reason for Han to be here, unless he was the one who kidnapped Ian to get back at her.

Han didn’t answer. He stared at her, “It’s a trap.” Before Leah could respond, Han grabbed her arm, trying to pull her away.

However, they were too late. Four gangsters blocked their way, each holding a steel pipe. Han turned and he realized they were surrounded. Leah’s face turned pale. “What’s happening?”

“We’re trapped,” Han replied coldly. Someone called him this morning saying they had kidnapped Leah. He was told to get to the warehouse to save her. However, instead of finding her at the warehouse, he bumped into her in this alley.

Leah was puzzled. She glanced at the gangsters surrounding them, “What should we do now?” Without hesitation, Han replied, “You should run. I’ll hold them off.”

Looking distraught, she whispered to him, “Ian is in the warehouse, and I have to save him.”

Han seemed annoyed. Before he could say anything, the gangsters charged at them. Han pushed her aside, kicked one of the gangsters, and snatched his steel pipe.

Using the steel pipe as a weapon, Han took the other gangsters down effortlessly. He pushed Leah forward, ordering her to run.

She refused to follow his order. She had promised Mrs. Sanders to bring Ian back safely. She had to go to the warehouse to save Ian.

She pushed against Han to run toward the warehouse. Han looked at her with disbelief, “Where are you going?”

Leah glanced at him apologetically, “I’m sorry, Han. I have to save Ian.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
