She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Questioning

The Two Men

Freya massaged the bridge of her nose, her voice tinged with resignation as she muttered, “Understood.”

Once the call ended, she scrolled through her contacts to find Kristian’s number. She attempted to reach him several times, each attempt thwarted by an automated voice telling her the call couldn’t be connected.

With a thoughtful frown, she opted to send him a message, reassuring him of her safety.

As she pressed send, her mind wandered back to something Ashley had mentioned, prompting her to seek out Gerard for more information.

At that moment, Gerard was accompanying Kristian at a remote villa. The buzz of Freya’s incoming call caught Gerard’s attention, and he glanced towards Kristian, hesitating. “Sir, Ms. Briggs is calling. Should I take it?”

“Not at the moment,” Kristian responded, his gaze growing stormier as he reclined on the sofa.

“Understood.” Gerard acknowledged, watching the call disconnect on its own.

Once the line went dead, Gerard couldn’t help but express his concern. “She likely called to tell you she’s safe. Aren’t we risking worrying her by not responding?”

“She won’t be worried,” Kristian said, his voice carrying an icy detachment.

True to his words, Freya was far from worried.

She simply assumed he was simply in a location with poor reception.

Once he confirmed Freya’s safety, Kristian initiated his questioning. In the spacious living room of the villa, Kristian, with Gerard loyally standing behind him, confronted two men sitting opposite. Clad in hospital gowns, both looked exceedingly gaunt.

Had Freya been present, she would have recognized them as her kidnappers.

“Who are you, and what was your purpose in kidnapping Freya Briggs?” Kristian inquired, lounging on the sofa with his legs elegantly crossed, his presence radiating undeniable authority.

His mere presence was enough to instill terror.

The two men trembled, acutely aware of the formidable figure before them. There was no mistaking it–Freya was Kristian’s wife, undeniably.

Noting their hesitance, Gerard flashed a knowing smile and subtly adjusted his glasses. “My boss is not one to wait. I suggest you talk sooner rather than later, or else…”

His eyes darted briefly to their groins.

The men winced and protectively covered themselves.

Gerard’s smile didn’t waver.

“My–My name is Omar Guzman,” stammered the man who had previously been clad in black, now donning a hospital gown.

The other man anxiously cleared his throat and stammered, “I’m Trevor Pne.”

“We honestly had no clue she was connected to you.” Omar confessed, his voice trembling with genuine fear. “We were paid to deliver her to the warehouse. Had we known she’s with you, we never would have touched her.”

“He’s right,” Trevor added hastily, his face pale and glistening with sweat.

Kristian’s eyes narrowed, his voice laced with chilling sarcasm. “So you’re saying it’s fine to kidnap someone else?”

Both men shivered under his piercing gaze. “Absolutely not!”

“And who put you up to this?” Kristian demanded, his chilling presence and piercing eyes imposing an immense pressure.

Trevor and Omar exchanged wary, hesitant glances, silently weighing the consequences of revealing the truth. Their memories were hazy–one moment they had been knocked out, and the next, they had awakened in agony at this unfamiliar villa, with no recollection of what had happened in between.

Kristian’s patience evaporated swiftly. “Gerard,” he commanded icily, “call the police. Have these two taken away immediately.” Pausing briefly, Kristian continued in an unforgiving tone, his words razor–sharp with menace. “Collect enough evidence to ensure they’ll face the death penalty.”

Panic surged through the two men, their faces draining of all color.

“No! Please!” Omar begged frantically, desperation evident in his eyes. “We’ll tell you everything, we swear! Just listen!”

Trevor blurted out hastily, his voice trembling slightly from the weight of his confession, “It was a woman named Ashley Bradley who orchestrated the whole ordeal. She paid us handsomely to kidnap Freya Briggs.” “Ashley Bradley?” Gerard turned, his eyes wide with disbelief, as he looked towards his boss for confirmation. The situation painted a grim picture of a feud between Kristian’s ex and his current wife–a scenario far too common, yet here it escalated into a realm of criminal schemes.

“What exactly did she instruct you to do?” Kristian’s voice dropped an octave, heavy with foreboding.

Omar and Trevor exchanged glances, their faces etched with anxiety.

Admitting the truth felt like walking a tightrope above a perilous drop.

The air in the room grew thick with tension as Kristian’s presence seemed to loom larger, casting a shadow that felt almost icy.

Omar gulped, struggling to keep his voice steady. “She demanded we… strip Freya, rape her, and capture it all

on video.”

Trevor, pale and nodding solemnly, corroborated Omar’s account.

Gerard hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering back to Kristian, gauging the storm that was about to break.

“Did you lay a hand on her?” Kristian’s voice was icy, devoid of any warmth.

Gerard knew without a doubt that if they confessed to having touched he Kristian would shatter their bones without a second thought.

“No!” they replied in haste, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. “We were just about to carry out Miss Bradley’s instructions when your wife took us down.”

“You two couldn’t manage her?” Gerard inquired, his tone tinged with curiosity.
