Rewriting the love story after traveling into the novel novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 The Price of Power

The frail, sickly look was long gone–Talonox now looked like the ruthless, unhinged criminal he truly was.

And it was all her fault. Why the hell did I ever treat him? Now the bastard had the energy to run wild.

But it wouldn’t last.

Enjoy it while you can, Becky thought darkly.

As expected, the Bolton family readily agreed to the ransom demand. Their negotiator asked for the drop–off location.

The kidnapper responded with a spot in the outskirts of Dracovia.

“A direct handover–money for the girl.

Becky’s heart sank.

Yvonne isn’t even in Dracovia anymore. Why would they name it as the drop site?

They never intended to release her.

No….they wouldn’t really…

A chill spread down her spine,

Yvonne, who had heard the conversation, started sobbing and crying through her gag.

Talonox gave a signal, and one of his men came over and slapped Yvonne twice across the face.

Tears welled in her eyes, but she dared not make another sound.

She wasn’t stupid–she’d heard them say the exchange would happen in Dracovia.

But she was still here.

How were they planning to send her back?

Were they not going to

No… no, she couldn’t die here! She didn’t want to die!

Trembling. Yvonne turned toward Becky, eyes pleading, like a child begging for help.

But Becky remembered clearly how cruel this same girl used to be to her. There was nothing to say.

Elsewhere, Xavier stepped into a waiting SUV, followed by five other identical vehicles. As the convoy sped off, he remained on the phone.

“Tell them we agree to the deal,” he said coldly. “But make it clear–we don’t transfer the money until we see Yvonne.”

Back at the hideout, Talonox sauntered up to Becky.

“Ms Quinn, everything here will be wrapped up soon. Then we’ll leave. My place is nice–you’ll like it.”

“Family can be rebuilt. I can find you a husband, give you children. You’ll have a beautiful

He added smirking. “Or if you prefer, I can marry you myself”

Becky gagged, visibly disgusted

Talonox’s expression soured. “What’s that supposed to mean? I’m not ugly. I’m rich. I could give you anything”

“I don’t want a life dancing on the edge of a blade,” Becky said, giving him a pointed look. “And you’re not my type

“Feelings can be nurtured.”

“Whatever I say, you won’t believe me. But once we’re there, I’ll prove you wrong.”

Becky shut her eyes, done talking. She wasn’t going to beg for mercy. People like Talonox didn’t know what mercy meant. It would be a waste of breath.

He walked off, displeased.

Soon after, two of his men began filming a video of Yvonne. They didn’t let her speak–clearly afraid she’d leak their location.

Henry and Lilian watched the video in horror. Yvonne was tied up, gagged, and crying. Her eyes were puffy and red.

Henry clenched his fists. Lilian sobbed, covering her mouth.

“Yvonne my baby girl please bring her back, Henry.”

“I will.” Henry promised, as much to her as to himself.

He remembered the tragedy that had struck the Lewis family not long ago–their son had only survived by sheer luck.

He didn’t have the heart to tell Lilian that even ransom money might not save their daughter.

The kidnapper’s message was clear: bring the ten billion to the outskirts, transfer it to an offshore account, and the girl would be released.

It could be a lie.

But he had to try.

As night fell, Henry set off.

Meanwhile, Becky grew increasingly anxious as the gang reported that Henry was nearing the drop–off location.

As soon as they get

Yvonne will be killed. And I’ll be taken away. I’ll never see my son again.

“Ahhh!”

Talonox suddenly screamed in pain, clutching his head.

Scarface rushed over. Ualonox! Your head again?”

He couldn’t even speak–just groaned in agony.

Becky glanced at him with a mocking smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

Scarface grabbed her by the arm and yanked her forward.

Help him. Now”

I’m tied up, remember?” she said innocently

He loosened her hands but left her feet bound. “Fix him”

Becky placed her lingers on Talonox’s wrist, checking his pulse. She took her time–ten whole minutes passed.

Scarface was visibly panicking

“Well?” What’s taking so long?! Fix him!”

Becky ughed and frowned dramatically. “His condition is serious.”

Scarface’s heart leapt into his throat. “What do you mean? Why are you sighing? What’s wrong with him?”

Finished

She gave him a look like he was an idiot. “He’s been taking some kind of painkiller with nasty side effects. Sure, it helps with the pain—but that junk has been building up in his system. It’s making his condition worse. If this keeps up…“

She paused meaningfully.

Scarface swallowed. “If this keeps up… what?“:

She stared him dead in the eye. “His blood vessels will rupture. In his brain.”

Scarface’s voice dropped. “And when that happens?”

Becky shrugged like it was obvious. “He dies.”
