Chapter 14: Keep Running


    "Is something wrong, Mommy? What happened?"


    Seeing that his mother had been away for a little too long, Matteo went into the house to check on


    her.When he saw how angry she was, his brow furrowed with concern.


    Is that bad guy bullying Mommy again? He''s making her so mad.


    "It''s alright, Matt.Erm...I want to discuss something with you...Do you and your sister want to go back to


    great-aunt''s ce?"


    Amora knelt in front of her son and kept a tight lid on her emotions as she discussed the matter


    carefully with him.There was no point for her to hide now.


    Her next move was to rescue Willow from the scum''s hands.


    It was definitely impossible for her to bring the children along, and she couldn''t leave them here alone,


    either.


    It would be too dangerous.


    She couldn''t rule out the possibility of both children being discovered by the scum.


    Therefore, the only way was to send them back to their homnd so he wouldn''t find them.


    Matteo looked at his mother and asked, "Go back to great-aunt''s ce? Do you mean back to our


    homnd? Is Mommying with us too?"


    "Yes, I am.But a littleter than you.I will arrange for someone to send you and your sister back first,


    okay?"

    "Okay.Mommy, you muste soon."


    Matteo soft-pedaled his mother''s decision in sending him and his sister back.


    Amora immediately booked the flights for her two children and contacted another trustworthy friend to


    take them in.


    Half an hourter, at a local pier.


    Amora huffed and puffed as she sped all the way.


    Finally, she caught sight of Willow being tied up and dangled on the outer deck.


    Her friend was crying in fear as she struggled to free herself from the ropes.


    That monster! Amora was absolutely livid.


    She got out of the car, dashed onto the deck, and stopped in front of the ship.


    "Kane! You b*stard! Let go of her now.Why did you tie her up? I''m the one you''re looking for.Let go of


    her immediately!"


    Amora was seething, and she would have stabbed the monster if she had a knife in her hand.


    The scum finally appeared from the ship after hearing her shouts.


    It was a chilly day, and the bitterly cold winds cut like a knife.


    The piteous cries of a woman bounded by ropes filled the air.


    But the crazy man stood nonchntly with a ss of red wine in his hand.


    He was wearing a dark suit, and his white shirt was neatly pressed.


    His outfit made him seemed even more dashing and domineering.


    After stepping onto the deck, he satzily on a chair that was set out by his men as he turned his gaze


    on her.


    "You''ve finally showed up?" Amora took a deep breath and suppressed the anger deep within her.


    "Let her go.You want me to go back with you? Fine, I''ll do as you say."


    "That''s it? I''m not finished ying with you yet." Amora shut her eyes tightly.


    With her fists clenched, she told herself not to argue with a lunatic like him.A few minutester, Willow


    was finally released, and Amora boarded the ship.


    "I''m sorry, Esme..."


    Still in shock and her wrists rubbed raw from the tight ropes, Willow sobbed guiltily in front of her.Amora


    quickly hugged the woman and patted her on the back.


    "It''s alright.You don''t have to apologize.I should be the one apologizing." Willow was speechless.


    After a while, the trembling woman nced at the figure who was standing behind Amora and


    whispered hoarsely, "Who are these people? What have you gotten yourself into, Esme? Where are


    they taking you?"


    Willow was worried.


    After all, they had been good friends for many years.But how could Amora tell her the truth? Her


    biggest hope right now was to stop Kane from implicating her other friends.


    After Willow was taken away, Amora stood on the deck and stared coldly at him.She appeared


    peaceful as she had calmed down a while ago.


    But her eyes were cold, without a hint of warmth in them.


    Kane even saw her disdain.


    She hates me that much? He held the ss of red wine and narrowed his bloodshot eyes at her.


    "You don''t have to stare at me like that.I''ve said it before.As your penance, I''m going to bring you back


    with me.Be it dead or alive."


    "Penance? Sometimes I find it strange.Why are you trying so hard to get me back there? Are you not


    afraid that I will ruin your love life again? Don''t forget, you were with her after a rough history together."


    Amora snorted at him.
