The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 186

A confused look spread across Roxanne's face as she stared at the group of men, who were all

laughing heartily.

They were mocking her for not knowing the true identity of her own husband.

But due to communication barriers and the threat she still posed to them, they hadn’t been completely

honest with her.

By the bonfire.

The men continued to chow down on meat and guzzle drinks.

The dancing flames illuminated Roxanne’s cautious and guarded face.

Regardless of why these men had taken her or what unknown identity this “Harrison” they spoke of

had, she still needed to find a way to escape.

At the moment, her life didn't seem to be in immediate danger, but who knew what crazy stuff this band

of thugs would pull next?

When they started to get a little tipsy, Roxanne took the opportunity to excuse herself to the restroom.

After a few days of interaction, the men had come to understand this gesture.

One of them accompanied her, keeping a watchful eye on all her movements.

The place where Roxanne chose to relieve herself was near a waterfall.

The water was rushing violently, and it was surrounded by jagged rocks.

Jumping down would surely pose a risk to her life.

If she wasn't swept away by the current, she would hit the rocks. Even if she didn't die on impact, she

would likely be severely injured.

The water was so deep that if she were knocked unconscious, even if she could swim, she could still

drown.

But she had to jump.

While pretending she was done, she rose from the bushes and took a leap of faith.

The slightly drunk man tried to catch up, but it was too late.

Roxanne's petite figure was quickly swallowed by the raging current.

The slightly drunk man stood on the edge of the waterfall cliff and looked down, but there was nothing

to see.

Three hours later.

The night was still dark.

Roxanne, dragging her weary feet, navigated through the desolate jungle.

Her clothes were still wet, and the wind of the late night was like a knife that cut through her.

Exhausted and hungry, she was on the verge of collapsing.

She hugged her arms tightly, trying to find a little warmth.

But she felt like a block of ice, and her fingers were numb from the cold. She felt like she was about to

lose consciousness.

Suddenly, footsteps and bird calls she didn't understand echoed in the jungle.

The men who had taken her were catching up.

She began running.

Sharp branches and leaves in the jungle scratched her face, neck, and the back of her hands.

She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands reached out, covering her mouth.

She turned her head, and her eyes widened.

The shock in her eyes seemed to say, "How is it you?"

Dominic Thompson signaled for her to keep quiet.

She nodded, and Dominic let her go.

Once the group had passed, Roxanne could only speak in a low voice. "Dominic, why are you here?"

Dominic remained vigilant, observing their surroundings.

He pricked his ears as he listened to the sounds around them.

After confirming that Roxanne's captors had indeed moved on, he still remained on guard.

He took Roxanne’s hand, leading her in the opposite direction.

It had been seven and a half years since Dominic had last held this slender hand.

Dominic’s heart was filled with mixed emotions as he held her hand tightly.

His original plan was to hold onto this hand forever.

He used to imagine them in their old age. They would cross the road together, shop at the market, take

strolls in the park, sit on a bench by the road, and watch the sunset.

But now, Roxanne was the wife of the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven.

Dominic no longer had the right to hold her hand.

But at this moment, Dominic decided to indulge himself one last time. He knew Roxanne was

struggling, but he still held her hand tightly.

He allowed himself this final indulgence, which crossed the boundaries of their relationship.

All he wanted to do was savor the feeling of her hand in his just one more time.

"Dominic!"

Roxanne stopped, forcefully pulling her hand from Dominic's grasp.

"Dominic, first of all, I'm really grateful you're here. I guess you must have come to rescue me;

otherwise, it would be a very big coincidence. I really owe you."

She had many questions waiting to be answered.

But first and foremost, Roxanne made her boundaries clear. "My husband is a jealous man. If he knew

you were holding my hand like this, he might lose sleep. I can follow behind you; you don't have to hold

my hand anymore."

"You really care about Harrison, huh?" Dominic's heart ached.

"Of course. He's my husband, the first man in my life."

Roxanne's voice was not loud but firm. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Her words were like knives that pierced deeply into Dominic's heart.

Fearing their pursuers would catch up, Dominic didn't have time to wallow in sentimentality.

He noticed her shivering from the cold, so he took off his own jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Then he quickly said, "Okay, then follow closely behind me. I'll take you to a safe place."

Roxanne was so cold that she could hardly stand it.

So she didn't refuse the jacket Dominic handed her.

During their journey, Roxanne didn't ask Dominic why he was there.

She didn’t say a single word.

As Dominic walked, he wondered. "Aren't you curious about why you were kidnapped and why I'm

here?"

"Harrison will tell me when we get back." She fully trusted Harrison.

This deep trust was plain to see to Dominic.

Ha! The person she trusted most had been deceiving her all along, but Dominic didn't plan to expose

Harrison.

Harrison had promised to treat Roxanne well, so Dominic was willing to trust him.

Hundreds of miles away.

After Alexander knocked him out, Harrison had only slept a few hours.

Upon waking, the first thing he did was pull on the sleeping Alexander beside him and ask, "Is there

any news of Roxanne?"

Alexander was also tired.

He had fallen asleep right beside Harrison's bed without even taking off his shoes.

Upon waking, he rubbed his eyes in confusion. "Harrison, you're up already? It's not even light out yet."

"I'm asking you, is there any news of Roxanne?"

Alexander let him roughly grasp his collar, patiently saying, "We've identified who took Roxanne.

They're after our corporation's 6G-Technology. They want the 6G-Technology, so Roxanne is absolutely

safe. You can rest easy on that."

Half an hour later, Harrison received a phone call.

He quickly gathered a large group of people; it seemed like big things were happening.

At that time, Alexander arrived at the villa in the next building.

Chloe had prepared breakfast and called him over to eat.

Originally, Alexander planned to bring some breakfast to Harrison.

He had already packed the breakfast.

He saw Harrison next door, gathering all the remaining bodyguards and hired mercenaries, neatly lining

them up on the lawn outside the villa.

Alexander hurriedly went out, and so did Chloe.

Chloe always felt that Harrison and Alexander had been acting strangely these past two days.

She was the one who gave Alexander Harrison's contact info; even if the two knew each other before,

they couldn't be this close, right?

Also, Alexander's concern for Harrison was excessive.

Alexander personally cared for Harrison, stayed by his bedside, and even slept with him.

Harrison didn't eat breakfast, even though Alexander kept preparing food and drinks for him, afraid he

would go hungry.

Something was off.

There must have been something wrong.

Chloe followed them and heard the conversation between Harrison and Alexander.

Alexander stood in front of Harrison, his arms blocking Harrison's way. "Harrison, you can't go. They

not only want the corporation's 6G-Technology, but your life too. You can't be so reckless."

"Move." Harrison's face was dark; no one could stop him.

His bodyguard, Jackson, pleaded with him. "Mr. Rodriguez, why don't you stay here while Alexander

and I go? You are the key figure in the company; you can't risk any danger."

"Yes, Harrison, let me bring Roxanne back. If I can't bring Roxanne back to you unharmed, I'm ready to

pay with my life." Alexander promised him.

"That's my wife; I need to save her." Harrison pushed Alexander, walked away, and got in the car.

Alexander couldn't stop him.

He watched twenty or more cars drive away, one by one.

Since he was worried about Harrison's safety, Alexander didn't notice Chloe standing behind him, who

was frozen with shock in the morning light.

After hearing their conversation, Chloe was certain that Harrison was a key figure in the Rodriguez

Group and that he and Alexander were old acquaintances.

So Harrison was actually the big boss behind the Rodriguez Group?

The richest man in Seraphim Haven?

Then everything made sense.

Harrison's seemingly invincible demeanor now had a reasonable explanation.

He was actually the richest man in Seraphim Haven, and her good friend Roxanne was married to such

a high-status man!

After turning his head, Alexander saw Chloe, frozen with shock.

He knew Chloe had heard everything. "Did you hear all that?"

"Harrison is the richest man in Seraphim Haven. Is that true?" Chloe, still in shock, asked for final

confirmation.

Alexander didn't want to lie, especially to women, so he reluctantly nodded. "Yeah."

Chloe suddenly realized. "So you and Harrison have been putting on an act in front of me and

Roxanne?"

"I'm sorry."

Because he lied, Alexander felt guilty. "Harrison told me not to say anything. I really didn't mean to

deceive the two of you."
