A Lifetime With You Chapter 77
Chapter 77
Damien was right. Within the minutes of abduction, his employees at the theme park realized their
disappearance.
They searched everywhere and based on the CCTV footage, Damien and Ava never exited the
washroom. It was normal to have no surveince cameras installed in the washroom due to privacy.
The employees hurried to the washrooms and found drag marks on the floor. Much to their dismay,
Damien and Ava’s phones were left behind and smashed to pieces.
They must have been attacked!
The window of the washroom led to an unused road, whereby the surveince camera installed was no
functioning yet. It was most likely that both Damien and Ava were dragged out via this path! In a sh,
the whole city was ced under lockdown. It was noughing matter when the CEO of the Radbury
Group being kidnapped in a broad daylight. Hence, nearly every police were dispatched to search for
Damien and Ava.
But both of them seemed to vanish into thin air.
At the Radbury residence, Karen was sobbing hardly. “How could this happen again? Somebody,
please tell me where is Damien!” Karen wailed loudly as she clutched her chest from heartache, and
Daryl was perplexed by everything. “Enough! Stop crying and let me think!” Daryl shouted at her. “Don’t
worry, Damien isn’t five years old anymore. He will be alright, mom.” Enrico sat on the sofa with one leg
crossed another one and he was calmerpared to his parents. Daryl berated him, “You cold-hearted
rascal! How could you say that when your brother is missing! We don’t even know if he is still alive and
you’re not being helpful at all!” Enrico’ snorted, “I experienced the same thing as a kid too and I’m still
alive now. Damien and Ava are together so nothing could happen to them.” Daryl shot him a
complicated look and did not reply to Enrico. Karen wiped her tears and started screaming, “The oneN?velDrama.Org is the owner.
being kidnappedst time was Dam…” “Shut up, Karen!” Daryl interrupted his wife. Having to suffer
from high fevers and disorders, Enrico had no memories of the actual abduction details twenty years
ago. He only knew that it was Damien that abandoned him when he was kidnapped. The Radbury
family chose to y along with Enrico’s delusional thoughts in order to stabilize thetter’s condition. In
the end, they couldn’t reveal the secret after twenty years as well. Enrico had always been Karen’s
weakness and sheposed herself quickly.
Enrico stood up and left the living room. After ensuring that no one was watching, he dialed a number.
Beth answered the call and asked anxiously, “What should I do next, Enrico?” “Don’t worry. Just hold
them for all three days. In the meantime, you’re free to do as you please with them as long as you don’t
kill my brother.” “Fine. I couldn’t bear to kill Damien too, but Ava…” “As you wish.” Enrico ended the
call. He smirked. This was the best feeling ever! It was Damien’s turn now to suffer the same pain
Enrico experienced before!
“It must be exhrating being trapped in a dark space and wait anxiously for your death. Right,
Damien?” Enrico muttered to himself.
The cer was chilly and damp. Ava started shivering after being confined several hours there. Damien
took off his coat and wrapped it around Ava but thetter declined, “Keep it to yourself and stay warm,
Damien. You are thinly-dressed than me.” “I’m not cold.” “Neither do I. Maybe you can hug me
instead?” Damien c?uckled and embraced Ava. She never thought that they could be such intimate,
especially now. The warmth from Damien’s body made her sobbed. “Damien, do you know that I’ve
been longing for your embrace?” Ava thought to herself. Although they had no idea about the current
time, Ava and Damien could sense that they had been trapped for quite some time now. Due to fatigue
and hunger, both were not talking to save their energy.
Everything was silent. Suddenly, Damien chuckled. “How can you stillugh now?” How strange, Ava
thought. Damien was always a stoic person. He replied calmly, “Last time when I was kidnapped in the
dark, hunger was not much of a problem. I just needed someone beside me because everything was
too quiet and scary.” “Then, are you afraid now?” “Of course not. Because we are together now.” “What
a weirdo! Unlike you, I just want to escape as soon as possible,” she grunted deliberately. Suddenly,
Ava remembered her mother. If she knew that Ava was kidnapped, she would be extremely worried. As
time went by, both Damien and Ava were getting weaker. Ava’s eyelids became heavier and she was
on the verge of fainting.
“Ava, don’t sleep!” Damien shook Ava to keep her awake. He was worried that Ava might never wake
up once she drifted into her slumber. “But… I’m sleepy now. How about we have a conversation to
keep me awake then?” “Alright.” But Damien did not know where to begin. There was dead silence for
a few seconds before Ava initiated the conversation, “How did you escape back then?” “My father paid
the ransom. After all, money was the kidnapper wanted and he decided to spare my life.” “Do you think
it’s the same this time? Are we going to be okay?” “Maybe.” Ava leaned against the wall and
murmured, “I wonder how much is your worth. Fortunately, I’m nothing otherwise your parents will not
agree to pay for my safety.” “We are of the same worth,” imed Damien. Ava was surprised by the
statement. She was curious about Damien’s expression now but nothing was visible due to the
darkness. Though the ending was unpredictable, it was not a bad choice to have Damien by her side
before dying. “Damien, remember that basketball court at our high school?” “Mmm…” Damien
wondered why she brought it up suddenly. “The truth is, I was there for Selden. He was good-looking
and every girl loved to watch him y basketball back then.”
