Lex Talionist

10. Kidnapped

03:05 AM. The Jung Manor House's.

Xavier was in a fog when he got a short message in the form of a photo caption from Dominic who was at Laurine's house. The man was driving at high speed. Behind him were several black cars his men followed.

Dominic was actually flying the war flag. According to Xavier, Dominic has gone too far to include Laurine in their problems. Or rather it was Xavier who interfered in the matter between Laurine and Dominic. Because after all the bad things that Dominic has been doing are based on his revenge on Helena's killer. However, there is a mistake here because Dominic thinks that the one who killed Helena was Xavier.

Arriving at the residence, Xavier immediately got out of the car. His eyes went around staring at the bodyguards of Laurine who were helplessly sprawled. Including Edmund.

But, there was no Dominic and his men. Step inside and keep trying to find Laurine at the follow-up of his men who also enter and split at every corner of the mansion.

"Laurine!" call Xavier and get no answer.

Now Xavier's gaze was fixed on some servants who were sitting curled up in fear in the kitchen area.

"Where's Laurine?" ask Xavier.

"Nona Laurine was carried by those evil men" one of them replied in a trembling voice of fear.

Xavier growled furiously as he rubbed his face rough.

"Both Laurine and Dominic are not here" Marcus said, walking closer to Xavier.

"The surveillance camera showed that Dominic had just brought in Laurine about 15 minutes ago. And I found this in Laurine's bedroom"

Then Marcus handed him a white paper with Dominic's writing.

Save this woman if you can. I only gave you 6 hours. If you can't take her from me, then be prepared to take her body.

-D.

Tearing the paper by Xavier. Snarling loudly with a turbulent heart that was already overpowered by anger.

...***...

05:51 PM. The Alpha Famiglia Villa.

Slowly, Lauren's eyes opened. Looking around where there is only darkness around. Sitting on a chair with her stomach, wrists and legs tied up.

He remained silent for a moment until his brain finally remembered something. Is correct. Laurine remembers being surprised by Dominic's presence at her home.

The man killed Edmund and his entire bodyguard, then smothered him with a dope handkerchief.

The anesthetic effect that Laurine believes Dominic is illegally getting makes her head dizzy.

Lauren doesn't know where she is and what time. The room around him was completely dark. There is not a single bit of light.

"Damn it!" Laurine.

Trying hard to untie the bonds that bind across almost her entire body. However, it is useless. Because this bond actually binds his body quite firmly.

Laurine's energy is getting weaker. The consequences caused by drugs earlier are not kidding.

Sighing tried to calm himself and relieve the fear he was feeling. His body was too limp and his face paled.

Then Laurine puffed up when she felt the footsteps of someone who was walking closer to her.

That someone is Dominic.

"Miss Laurine Jung, it's an honor for me when a classy woman like you wants to go with a jerk like me" Dominic said with a sweet smile as he bowed politely while mocking.

"Follow you, what?! You dragged me in here by being kidnapped! You fucker!" hiss Laurine.

Dominic chuckles. "It is not good for a woman to curse. It turns out that the language you always show to others as the company leader of TJ Group and now to me is very different. But I don't know why I like it. You're so funny and sexy at the same time. My type once"

"I'm flattered to hear that. But, I'm sorry I didn't want to accept your feelings" said Laurine.

Then Dominic held his chest as if in pain with a contrived face as if he was sad. "Ah, you broke my heart. I just got rejected. How'this? Why does it hurt so much?"

Laurine chose not to chim in again. "Take me off!" he stared at Dominic.

"Yes, Honey. I'm gonna let you go. But, later if your lover manages to find our whereabouts"

Then Lauren nodded in confusion. "My love?"

Dominic's sweet face turned sharp to give a sinister and sinister impression on him.

"Yes. Kim Xavier. Your lover is now the middle I give a challenge to play hide and seek by me. If he manages to find you that I'm hiding, then he'll get your body alive. But, if he doesn't find you within 6 hours, then he'll just get your body"

Laurine's body stiffened. Swallowing his hard-earned saliva with an uneasy feeling that began to re-encompass his feelings.

Inwardly, keep praying hoping that Xavier will soon save him from kidnapping the crazy bastard Dominic.

...***...

For 5 hours, Laurine was kidnapped. That means the time that is left is only 1 hour away. The thing that makes Xavier angry and worried simultaneously.

From this morning, the man was still in the mansion of Laurine's residence. The place where Laurine was last seen through the surveillance cameras. Meanwhile, the hostage situation has not yet been found.

"How's it?" xavier asked, looking up at Marcus who was walking towards him.

Marcus shook his head. "The phone number that called you this morning is a disposable number. So, I can't track him. Then I couldn't find their whereabouts yet. Dominic's pretty smart apparently"

"Including headquarters?"

"I also thought Dominic was hiding Laurine at his base, but there was nobody there"

Xavier shook his head slowly. "I'm just remembering now. Not that base. Like my father who has a secret place, he must also have a place like that. A safe and comfortable place. It can even be said to look like home, compared to headquarters"

"Like that mansion, you mean?" marcus and Xavier nodded.

The black house in question is a large and magnificent building that has a dark impression. The place is located in the middle of the wilderness and is now made a hiding place as well as a place chosen by Hans to rest in his old age.

Xavier's daydream that was thinking out loud became scattered as the sound of screaming echoed from outside.

"Laurine, your beloved uncle is coming!" call Anthony cheerfully by continuing to walk in.

He was mocking Laurine who is not there because she disappeared.

"Oh? Are you guys here? Are you guys visiting too?" said Anthony staring at Xavier and Marcus in turn.

"Where is the owner of the house? Did he just leave you here? Ck. It's not polite to my nephew. Looks like I should educate him again in good manners"

Then Anthony patted his forehead softly as he chuckled.

"What am I talking about? Of course, Laurine can't welcome you because she just disappeared somewhere"

Xavier just silently looked at Anthony sharply. Meanwhile, Marcus tries to code Anthony so as not to continue to outwit which will surely make Xavier more wrathful.

"I heard there was a group like you who came to this house this morning and kidnapped Laurine. Really true?"

"Close your mouth! I'm trying to kill someone right now!" hiss Xavier threatened and managed to make Anthony stop babbling while looking down in fear.

"Sir, there's a shipment from Dominic" said a burly man running frantically towards Xavier, carrying a brown envelope.

Soon Xavier picked up the thing and looked at the contents. There is a portrait of Laurine sitting on a chair with her body bound.

Like there are hundreds of needles that pierced Xavier's heart when he saw Laurine's condition.

"I'll finish you off if you dare to hurt Laurine anything at a time" Xavier muttered furiously.

There was a message in it too.

It would feel so good if his body was pushed from the top floor of the building down there until his entire bones cracked.

But, if his body is torn apart and become a food of wild animals will be more exciting to watch.

Or the swift sea water that will be able to drown and wash his body somewhere also seems interesting.

Which do you think is a good way to wipe out this beautiful woman's life?

However, it seems like I want to have some fun first with this body of makeup as a farewell greeting. What say?'

"FRIGHT!" xavier shouted and tore the photo and paper apart.

Then Xavier steps away from there to do whatever it takes to save Laurine.

Looking at Xavier who looks so angry, makes Andrew secretly smile because he knows that Laurine's life is now in a very dangerous position.

"I can guess, it must have been one of your enemies. Oye! You should be responsible then. This is the reason I don't like the mafia. They're ruthless. Eliminating lives was as usual for them. Ah, what a pity for my nephew" said Anthony slightly shouting.

"Take care of your attitude" Marcus glanced at Anthony for a moment before walking after Xavier.

Then Anthony just shrugged his shoulders indifferently while smiling widely. "Please return my nephew's body intact, without missing a single one. I'll be preparing for the funeral very lively and you'll just have to celebrate"

Actually Xavier heard Anthony's taunts, but this time he preferred to ignore them. Serving Anthony's babble would be pointless. Because all Xavier had in mind this time was to help Laurine. The man left the mansion without knowing which direction he was going and what he was going to do.

Brain scared. Laurine's safety continues to plague her mind.
