Chapter 408 Two Women Fighting Over A Man
Kim was a madman. He would not only hurt Anne, but he would also hurt her children. Only by dying with him would the children be safe.
Death was horrible. But for Anne, Kim was even worse.
What was more...
At the thought of this, the corners of Anne's mouth curled into a smile, and her eyes appeared gentler. She looked at the towering figure in front of her, her eyes full of attachment and affection. As long as Kevin was with her, did heaven or hell matter? At that moment, she did not care at all!
Kim understood in an instant what Anne had meant. His expression changed dramatically, and he closed his eyes slowly.
He finally understood that this woman would never belong to him. No matter what he did, she would never be with him.
"I know my way of doing things is somehow radical, and the way I love you is rather wrong. But Anne, you can't deny my love for you. Don't you really want to give me a chance?" For the first time, Kim looked at her with pleading eyes.
Anne shook her head and refused ruthlessly, "I don't love you, and that won't change even if I die. You'll only be hurt in the end if I give you hope. How irresponsible of me to do that, right?"
Now that she had been completely honest, what would Kim say next?
To Anne's surprise, he just shook his head, looked up, and laughed.
The love that he had given had just been completely rejected!
Because of this, Kevin frowned and looked at Kim more warily. He did not dare to relax the pull-tab in his hand.
Then, Kim slowly took his gun back and put it into his pocket.
"You're right, Kevin. It's not easy for me to achieve what I have today, so how can I die like this?" All year round, Kim had always been on the line between life and death. Fortunately, although he was pathetic, his state did not affect his sanity.
"I know that you and Anne don't want to be dead. In that case, how about we let each other go?" Although Kim was wearing a relaxed smile, his body exuded an icy cold aura. Surprisingly, he no longer seemed depressed nor miserable as before.
The way he hid his emotions was impressive.
With a frown, Kevin looked at Kim up and down. "I don't believe any of what you had said. There are lots of your men here. Why don't you send us out instead?"
Kim paused. After a moment of silence, he nodded and threw his gun to Kevin. The latter quickly pulled the safety bolt of his gun, and pointed it at Kim's head. Slowly, he retreated with Anne.
As they reached downstairs, Kim's men were alarmed. They aimed their guns at Kevin, but Kim shook his head at them. The armed men looked at each other and then put down their guns at the same time.
Obeying their boss's order with no questions asked was the most important thing they had to do.
Kevin was slowly retreating, yet he did not dare to relax. The instant the police saw him and Anne, they rushed forward and protected them. All of a sudden, Kevin and Kim shouted at the same time, "Let them go!"
This made everyone turn around and looked at the two men.
Kim and Kevin wore a calm demeanor, yet they had a murderous look in their eyes. Their determination was apparent as well.
If they were to have another gunfight, many people would be injured. However, they had already come out safely, so there was no need for them to sacrifice many lives.
There was one thing they were sure of: There was still no winner between them.
An inevitable battle was definitely over the horizon.
Everyone looked at each other, while the police looked at their captain. The latter nodded his head, and the police slowly retreated. From this day onwards, Kim was a wanted criminal.
Whether Kim would succeed in hiding from the police or not solely depended on his own abilities.
Meanwhile, Kevin escorted Anne to the car, and they left the villa immediately. Kim and his men also disappeared in an instant.
This place was no longer usable and must be abandoned at once!
Inside the car, Kevin turned around and gazed at Anne. They intertwined their fingers and smiled lovingly at each other.
It was beyond everyone's expectation that they would come back safely this time.
Nonetheless, it would not have happened if it were not because of their love. At the critical moment, they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the other.
They were soulmates, the one who completed the missing half of the other, and they would never let each other go.
"Kevin, let's go home. I miss our kids already." A gentle smile appeared on Anne's face. A hint of affection flashed through her eyes as well.
She knew very well that Kim would not let her go even if he compromised this time. He would definitely not show mercy next time. When that happened, they would face real danger.
But that was another story reserved for the future. At this moment, Anne only wanted to see her kids.
She had her own beautiful family, a husband who loved her deeply, and three lovely children!
All of them should be by her side no matter what!
With a smile, Kevin nodded in agreement and sped up. He, too, wanted to see his three little fellows.
In the villa, Selma and the others had no idea that Kevin had brought his people out. Selma was yawning when she saw them. After all, it was just dawn when Kevin and Anne returned.
"Anne, why are you back? Did something happen?" With a frown, Selma looked at them up and down worriedly. Seeing that they were not injured nor hurt, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Anne raised her head, and she and Kevin smiled at each other. Unfortunately, they could not tell Selma about such dangerous turn of events.
"Kim found out about our plan. I was not safe there anymore, so I came back."
Hearing this, Selma nodded in agreement and breathed a heavy sigh. "That's good then. It's more dangerous for you to be there alone. It's better that you returned."
With that, Anne nodded and went to see the children. At that moment, the children were sleeping soundly.
There was a gentle smile at the corners of her mouth. After seeing Simon and Sally, she went to Eddy's bed and sat on its edge.
Eddy, her first child, had always been special to her.
He had suffered a lot before, but his heart disease was still uncured.
At the thought of this, the light in Anne's eyes dimmed a little. Up until now, there was still no heart donor for her son.
It was not only Anne who was worried. Kevin and Selma were too. They feared that something bad would happen to Eddy, and there was nothing else they could do.
Once they got along with each other, Selma no longer wanted to trade her granddaughter for her grandson. It was a dilemma though. They did not want to lose Eddy, but they had no means of saving him yet.
"Don't worry. We will find a way to save Eddy." When Kevin spoke, his voice was soothing and reassuring.
Anne raised her head and smiled at him. With a nod, they walked out of Eddy's room silently so as not to wake him up.
The second they left, Eddy opened his eyes. There was a little sadness in them.
Truth be told, he knew that Anne and Kevin had come back. He heard them from the outside. He also knew that his father and mother entered the room of his young siblings, and then to his. Knowing that, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Eddy was not naive. He was aware that everyone was worried about his health.
He closed his eyes, and a tear fell on his pillow. If it was at all possible, he wanted to be as healthy as his brother and sister, but why was he not?
After a long night, Kevin and Anne went straight to bed without even bothering to wash. Selma ordered the servants not to disturb the two. The next day, when Kevin and Anne woke up, it was already noon. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
They then got up and finally took a shower. Together, they ate breakfast, so they regained some energy.
Kevin's phone suddenly rang. The call came from the police station. The police asked him and Anne to go there as soon as possible. In an instant, they figured out that the call had something to do with Kim, so they went to the station immediately.
At first, the director thought that it was an opportunity to perform meritorious service. However, he never expected that Kim would run away like this.
They could not be reconciled.
"I thought Kim was just a kidnapper. As it turned out, he's running a criminal organization. I never expected that he had so many guns! Anyway, we must find and catch them no matter what. Only in this way can we protect our constituents," said the police chief righteously while looking at Kevin. "Do you have any clues about Kim?"
Kevin and Anne looked at each other and then shook their heads at the same time.
"No one knows which city Kim will go. For now, strengthen your patrols and widen your surveillance in order to find him as soon as possible. He has to be incriminated for everything he has done," said Kevin solemnly.
The chief nodded in agreement. Before he let Kevin and Anne leave, he asked some more questions and made notes that were necessary for the report.
Seeing that it was still too early to go home, Kevin turned around and said to Anne, "There must be some things piled up in the company today. How about we go there for the meantime?"
Anne stretched her arms. Hearing Kevin's invitation, she hesitated at first but agreed anyway. As soon as they walked into the company, many eyes were on them. People could not help but stare at them with eyes wide in shock and disbelief.
Kevin and Anne were not really divorced but in the eyes of others, they were. To make things confusing, Kristine often went to Kevin's office. This made other people believe that something was going on between her and Kevin. To their surprise, the CEO brought his ex-wife.
What was more, Anne intended to commit suicide some time ago. She coerced Kevin into divorcing her by jumping off the building. Everyone knew about it, but things seemed to have changed.
Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads. After all, these gossips should only be discussed in private. They should not be discussed in front of the people involved.
The instant Kevin opened the door of the office, a frown appeared on his face. Cherry was sitting inside, apparently waiting for him.
With a bento box in hand, a smile appeared on her face as soon as she saw Kevin. Her gaze shifted to Anne, and her smile and body stiffened.
'Why is she still with Kevin?' she thought to herself.
Anne did not expect to meet Cherry here either. With a faint smile, she looked at Kevin, who immediately took action. "Miss Cherry, this is my private office. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you
to show up here?"
Cherry frowned upon hearing his words. But as she walked up to Kevin, her sweet smile reappeared. She did not even pay Anne attention when she gave him the bento box. "Kevin, this is your favorite bento. I personally made it for you. It's still warm, so eat it quickly."
"Kevin has already eaten. Take your bento back. He doesn't want it." Before Kevin could open his mouth to speak, Anne suddenly spoke. Her voice was delicate, but there was a touch of displeasure in it.
Shocked with Anne's audacity, Cherry frowned and looked at her up and down as if she was the hostess. With a sneer, she fired back, "Have you forgotten who you are? Why are you here anyway? You've already divorced Kevin, haven't you? Besides, you have no business here. You went to live with Kim, remember?"
"Oh, I'm sorry to burst your bubble. I forgot to tell you that Kevin and I just remarried. Unfortunately for you, I'm his wife. Now, don't you think I have the right to ask you to leave?" Anne crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Cherry fearlessly.
