Love Unspoken
Chapter 1160

Quinn's eyes went wide as she glanced at Landon, who was lurking in the shadows. She could barely make out the glint off his glasses, but his face was a mystery.

Before she could say a word, Landon chimed in, "If you wanna die, I ain't stopping you. Alexander's already here. That friend you dragged into this mess, you don't care what happens to her, right?" His words smashed Quinn's naive hopes to pieces. She glanced at the screen; the timer had already hit 40 seconds.

"Sometimes, you gotta be a little selfish," Landon said, almost like he was sighing. He turned slightly to look at the guy next to him.

The guy got the hint, pulled out a phone, and was about to make a call.

Seeing this, Quinn grabbed Landon's sleeve and blurted out, "I'll call. I'll call him right now!"

The guy stopped dialing, and everyone zeroed in on her.

She shut her eyes, took a deep breath, then let go of Landon's sleeve and turned on her phone.

Sweat dripped from her forehead onto the screen, making it glitch. She had to tap a few times before she could punch in Alexander's number. When the call connected, there wasn't even a contact name.

Landon's face had a weird look as he said, "You remember his number pretty well."

Quinn paused, pretending she didn't hear him. She stared at the number on the screen, sweat pooling on her forehead.

All she could do now was silently pray Alexander wouldn't pick up.

The phone rang forever without an answer, and Quinn started to relax.

But just as it was about to go to voicemail, someone picked up.

"Quinn," Alexander's voice came through.

The phone was on speaker, and hearing his voice made Quinn's heart sink. She let her hand drop and looked up at Landon.

Landon's phone screen had one message: Tell him you escaped.

"Quinn, where are you? Why aren't you saying anything?" Alexander asked, sounding worried.

Quinn pressed her lips together, staying quiet for a couple of seconds before saying, "I was captured by Landon. Where are you?"

As she spoke, someone plugged a data cable into her phone. Out of the corner of her eye, Quinn saw it was connected to a laptop, and they were using her phone to track Alexander.

"I'm in Municity. Don't worry, I'll come get you," Alexander said, calm as ever, like they were just chatting. Quinn wanted to warn him about the tracking, but Landon's threatening look shut her up. If she did, not only would Alexander be in danger, but Abigail too.

"I don't need you to rescue me. I already escaped," Quinn said.

Alexander chuckled, a bit sarcastically, "That impressive?"

"How else would I be calling you?" Quinn shot back.

"Then where are you?" Alexander asked.

"I don't know," Quinn replied.

There was a few seconds of silence before he said, "Then send me your location, and I'll come replace you."

Hearing this, Quinn instinctively glanced at Landon. He nodded, signaling her to send the location.

Quinn went quiet.

Alexander said, "Even if you don't wanna see me, now's not the time to be stubborn. Do you know how to get back?" Quinn gripped the phone tight, her face a mix of emotions.

Before she could say anything, Landon snatched her phone and hung up.
