The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2366

Chapter 2366 

Balfour always knew, the guiltier one feels, the louder one becomes. 

These kidnappers were all desperate characters. While Balfour’s currently in a disadvantaged position, there were always vulnerabilities to exploit in such a group. 

Especially the Boss, who seemed to have a soft spot for his bygone days of youth-a target for exploitation if there ever was one. 

Not to mention, the whole gang seemed petrified of the Boss. He was probably the mastermind behind every heist and the commander on the field. It was likely that he had blood on his hands. 

Of course, these were just Balfour’s hunches. If he could avoid a head-on clash with them, he’d prefer it. 

But knowing that they were desperadoes meant that even after getting the money, they might not stick to the original deal and let them go. 

Balfour’s brow furrowed subtly, the slap on his face was the least of his worries. 

His concern was for the aftermath, especially since he had Victoria by his side. 

From the moment they were kidnapped together, he never once thought of escaping alone. 

He could only hope that Dean wouldn’t take the kidnappers’ demands seriously; relying on the police was the only way to go. 

It was only when the Boss stepped out to rummage through his backpack that Balfour managed to sit upright, using his core strength. 

“Victoria, are you okay?” he whispered. 

Hearing Balfour’s voice, Victoria finally let out a sob she had been holding in. 

She had been silent when the Boss was around, terrified that any sound might get her 

dragged away again. 

“I’m sorry, they were after me today, and I didn’t mean to drag you into this,” Balfour expressed his sincere regret. 

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I’ll protect you,” he reassured her. 

Victoria sniffled, “I’m okay for now, just lying on the ground. My hands and feet are num Do you know who these people are? We’ve never crossed paths with them, so why kidnap us? Is it really all for money?” 

Hearing Victoria’s voice steady yet not blaming him for their situation, Balfour felt a mix of fear and anger emanating from her. Her considerate nature prevented her from

condemning him, which he appreciated; after all, no one would be pleased being dragged into such a mess.
