Love Contract -
Chapter 287 Game Starts
Barry scratched his hair angrily and asked, "Who is Corbett?"
"He is a Japanese." A hint of disappointment flashed in William's eyes. If he had any connection with this man, it would be because of Frank. Frank Liang again!
"Look!" Aisha stopped the video and pointed at a scar-faced man who was commanding the other men. "This man's name is Dixon. He is Corbett's bodyguard. Corbett is the young lord of Shadow Organization in Japan."
"And then?" Victor looked at the crowd and asked, "What does Mary have to do with this fucking gang? Why did they take Mary and her two children away?"
"I don't know." Aisha shrugged.
"Who the hell are you, Jazlyn?" Lucas whispered in Jazlyn's ear. "What do you do for living?"
She glanced at him and answered, "Why should I tell you?"
"You..."
Lucas did not say anything more. He turned to the screen and watched as another figure ran from outside of the church, shouting Barry's name hoarsely. "Barry! Barry Gu!" With tears on her face, Selah ran to Barry, grabbed his sleeve, and cried, "Ray... My Ray was taken away!"
"Alright!" Aisha shrugged and said rudely, "Here comes the leading lady of Barry's scandal."
"You..." Looking at Aisha, Selah was stunned. She quickly let go of Barry and said in a trembling voice, "Manager Lu, I..."
"I'm not my sister." Aisha rolled her eyes at her and explained, "I meant, I'm not Mary Lu."
"Then who are you? How could it be possible?" Selah widened her eyes in disbelief.
"All right!" Before Aisha could explain further, Barry interrupted her. He frowned deeply and said to Selah, "It doesn't matter who she is. What matters is why you are here. Why did you bring Ray here? What did you intend to do?"
"I wanted to..." Selah swallowed hard and continued, "I wanted to see you get married."
"You are out of your mind! What were you thinking? Now you've put Ray in danger!" Barry scolded her with anger and anxiety. Did this stupid woman bring Ray here to see his father get married to another woman?
"I..."
"Barry," William suddenly interrupted their conversation and asked nervously, "have you walked on the aisle with Mary? Have you finished the ceremony? Are you married already?"
"We... No, we are not married," Barry answered with difficulty.
Swoosh... William took a deep breath and said, "So you didn't get married. You cancelled your wedding, and then Mary and the children got abducted. Also, your child was taken away with my kids. Is this the
case?"
Barry stared at William and nodded slowly.
"What we need to do now is to rescue them," Archer, who had been silent for quite some time, suddenly suggested.
"Should we call the police?" asked Ena weakly. She looked around and found that everyone was looking at her as if she was a monster.
"Well..." Aisha raised her eyebrows and answered, "Of course not."
"We don't need the police. We can go by ourselves," Lucas answered while rubbing his hands together.
Hearing that, William felt uneasy. The last time that Alick and Elissa were taken away by Frank, he almost died. This time, they successfully got Mary as well. However, William thought that if something were to happen to her, he wouldn't live alone.
Ding! As everyone was about to set out, their phones rang at the same time. An MMS notification popped on their screen.
The group took out their mobile phones all at once.
"Game Starts."
There were only two English words on the message. Attached below was a photo of Mary. In the photo, she was still wearing the wedding dress, but her hands were tied. In her mouth was a piece of cloth to keep her silent. Her hair was messy and cold sweat beaded on her forehead. In her eyes was a look of fear and panic.
"Mary..." William clutched his phone so hard that his knuckles turned white.
"A game? Fuck you!" Lucas almost threw his phone away in disgust. "This man is really sick, isn't he?"
"What game is he playing?" Jane had not calmed down and she murmured, "Does he want us to watch how he kills people?"
As soon as Jane finished her words, several eyes shot her a piercing glare. Frightened, she stopped talking at once.
"Mary will be fine," reassured William firmly. This sentence was for everyone, including himself.
"Corbett!" Aisha bellowed through gritted teeth. She put her hands together and cracked her knuckles threateningly. "I won't let you go this time!"
Even though Aisha looked scary, Archer looked at her with gleaming eyes.
Their phones rang again, and they took them out quickly.
"Guess where they are?" There was another sentence on the message, and attached below were photos of different places. There was an old warehouse, a steep cliff, and a surging sea. All those places were desolated and ideal for killing and dumping dead bodies.
They stared at their phones in silence.
"Split up and move?" Barry suggested. "There are several places in the photos."
"His purpose is to separate us." Aisha's eyes narrowed dangerously and added, "I'm afraid we would fall into his trap if we split up."
"Then what should we do?" asked Lucas anxiously.
"We have to locate his position first." Looking like a fearless general, Aisha responded in a calm voice, "We must know where my sister is now. We can't be tricked by doing something without any preparation." "Then how can we locate her?" asked Victor. "We can only analyze their route," answered Jazlyn. "Maybe we can replace some clues from the photos, but it would take too much time."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
William had been quiet for a long time. Once again, because of him, Mary and the children fell into a desperate situation. His self-blame made a fire in his heart, almost turning it into ashes.
He would never let anything happen to Mary, absolutely not!
Due to the silence, Selah calmed down and an idea appeared in her mind. "Well, I... I may know where Ray is."
"What?" Hearing this, Barry asked anxiously, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? Where is he?"
"Are you sure you could replace where he is?" Aisha felt overjoyed. They were not helpless after all.
Selah nodded and said, "Ray has a watch on his wrist which is connected to my phone. I can locate him by GPS. But the location may not be too accurate."
"Why did you have it?" Barry asked with a frown.
"When Ray couldn't see before, I was afraid that he would get lost so I bought that," Selah answered while biting her lips.
Barry did not say anything more. He just clenched his hands inside his pockets. "May I have a look at your phone?" Aisha asked Selah.
"Sure." She nodded and gave Aisha her phone.
She took it and the others huddled close to look at it nervously.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The positioning system on Selah's phone rang. They watched as a red dot moved rapidly southwest.
"The southwest!" Archer looked at the phone and explained, "There is an abandoned factory and the seashore. I wonder where they would take Mary and the kids."
"Then let's head southwest first," offered William loudly.
"That's all we can do for now." Aisha nodded in agreement and turned to face Selah. "May I borrow your phone for a while?"
"Sure. Of course." Selah nodded.
Regardless of the crowd, William walked out of the church first and assigned tasks to his subordinates.
"Wait for me!" Lucas said as he followed him.
"Ena, Selah, and Jane," ordered Archer, "you don't have to go." "No!" Selah shook her head and shouted stubbornly, "I'm going too! My child... my child was also kidnapped by them!" Archer looked at Barry for help.
Barry turned around and put his hands on Selah's shoulders. He said seriously, "Selah, calm down! What's the use of you going there? We're just going to get distracted because we have to ensure your safety."
"But," Selah cried out breathlessly, "Ray is my son! I can't sit still and wait! What if he won't make it?!"
"I will bring him back safe and sound." Barry shook Selah's shoulders and added, "He will be fine. Wait for him at home."
"No way!"
"Selah!" Barry sighed and held her tightly in his arms. "Ray is also my son! I said I would bring him back. I will make sure to do what I said! I promise. You just need to wait for us to come back. I will take care of everything."
His warm chest and considerate words made Selah feel even more aggrieved. She buried herself in Barry's arms and sobbed, "Ray is my life..."
"I know." Barry touched her head unnaturally and whispered to two bodyguards, "Take her to my villa. Don't let her leave." "Yes, sir."
"Well, don't cry." Before leaving, Barry patted Selah's back comfortingly and left her to the bodyguards. Slowly, he walked out of the church with the others.
With tears in her eyes, Selah watched as Barry walk away. Whether she was happy or sad, she had no idea.
Meanwhile in an unremarkable truck on the coastal road, the three children, Elissa, Ray, and Alick, sat frightened in the dark carriage.
"Alick! I'm so scared!" Elissa was so scared that she burst into tears. The horrible experience of being kidnapped last time replayed in her mind.
"Don't be afraid," said Alick calmly, "Didn't Dad come to save us last time? Dad will also come this time!"
"Woo! Woo!" Elissa hid herself in a corner and asked, "But when will Dad come?"
"I don't know, but I know that Dad will definitely come!" Alick moved close to Elissa. Looking around, he blinked several times and asked, "Where is Ray? Are you still here? Why are you silent?"
"I'm here." Ray moved closer to the two kids and told in an aggrieved voice, "You have a father. I envy you so much."
"Ray," asked Elissa in between sobs, "don't you have a father?"
"No, I don't." Ray curled up and wrapped his arms around his knees. "I only have my mother. She must be so worried about me."
"My father will save us together!" Elissa took Ray's hand and stopped crying at once.
"Sure!" At the same time, Alick reached out his hands to Ray and Elissa. The three of them huddled up. "We will definitely escape!" Alick reassured.
"Thank you!"
"It's so dark here!" Sitting between the two little boys, Elissa said in a quivering voice, "I'm a little scared!"
Ray smiled and held her hand tighter. "I'm not afraid at all."
"Why not?" asked Alick curiously.
"Because I couldn't see anything before." Ray pretended to be relaxed and added, "I was blind before. Everything was just darkness. I'm used to it."
"Ah!" Elissa exclaimed. "Are your eyes alright now, Ray?"
"Yes, they are all right now." Ray's voice seemed to be smiling, which relieved the other two kids. "In fact, the darkness is not terrible at all. There is nothing around us. We can see the sunshine when they oper the door."
"Ray, you are so brave!" Even though it was dark, Elissa looked at Ray with admiration.
"I'm older than you! I'm already six years old! Of course I am brave!" Ray grinned.
"I will be brave too when I'm six years old," Alick stated firmly.
"By the way," Ray suddenly remembered something and said, "my mother told me not to cry when I meet a bad guy. She says if I do, the bad guy will get angrier."
"Then I won't cry." Elissa raised her arm, and wiped off her tears and snot.
As soon as the three kids finished speaking, the car suddenly stopped. The sound of an iron door that was being opened was heard outside the car.
"Take the three kids down," said a man.
