Chapter 409: Loss
Arissa’s eyes were fixed on the bomb strapped to her wrist. The countdown on the timer scared her.
"No," she coughed, and tried to release her hand. Tears tolled down her eyes when he saw her growing stomach.
Everywhere was quiet. Not a single sound could be heard.
"Nicklaus!" She muttered, her eyes searching everywhere. Wasn’t he coming? Why wasn’t he here yet?
Mr. Adams rolled out of where he was hiding. "Arissa," he whispered, trying to signal her. He stared at the bomb strapped around her wrist, and drew in a deep breath.
Arissa turned slowly. She coughed out a sob when she saw Mr. Adams. Her brown eyes glistered with tears.
"Mr_" before she could say anything more, three kidnappers emerged from the shadows. Arissa breath agressively caught up in her throat when she saw them.
"You’re not taking her anywhere," one of them sneered, his eyes cold and hard.
Mr. Adams didn’t flinch. With a swift motion, he pulled out a gun and began to fire, taking down the kidnappers one by one.
Three more kidnappers came out of the shadows, and Mr. Adams found himself surrounded when more of them appeared.
"Seems Mr. Rhode knows how well to protect his price," he sneered, using his body as a human shield to block Arissa.
