The Billionaire's Promise
Chapter 112: An Angel

Chapter 112: An Angel

Before Aryana can say anything Vince talked first. "With your fighting skills you could have escaped on our way here or even when I put a knife on you."

"When I feel you staring at me and found you in the crowd, there is something I saw in your eyes. They say that the eye is the mirror to our soul. You have very expressive eyes." Aryana was very honest and Vince cannot help but blushed.

"What did you see?" Vince asked holding his breath.

"Desperation." Aryana said looking at Vince in the eyes.

Vince was surprised but he remained silent.

"I want to listen to your story. What do you need the ransom for?" Aryana asked.

Vince contemplated but he continued to stay silent. Vince was sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall. His plan failed and he will definitely go to jail. And Jessa... he hoped that she will miraculously be saved. Without him realizing it, a pair of tear drops fell from his eyes.

Aryana saw his pained expression and the tears that he shed. She sighed. She didn’t know why but her hunch tell her that she should help this man.

"Who knows that I am angel that God send your way."

When he heard the word ’angel’, Vince suddenly looked at her. His face has become swollen from the beatings he received earlier but his eyes were full of hope.

"My wife Jessa met an accident a few days back. It’s a hit and run. There is a blood clot on her brain that needed to be removed but the surgery costs almost half a million. The hospital needed a deposit of 200,000 for the surgery to be done. I thought that If I can get the ransom today, she can have the operation tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if I go to jail after, for as long as she will live." his voice croaked. "She is my everything."

Aryana was touched by his words. Half a million is really not a big amount.

"We go to the hospital later. I’ll pay the deposit. Consider it as long term loan. You can pay me back little by little. I can give the money to you and you don’t need to pay it back..."

"I’ll take it as a long term loan. I’ll write an IOU." Vince cut her. "Thank you so much Miss Jones. I will never forget your kindness."

"There are a lot of charities who can help you pay part of the bill. I’ll contact them for you."

"Why are you helping me when I intend to harm you?"

"I don’t think you want to harm me. If you do, you shouldn’t have fought with your people when they wanted to molest me. Why I help you? I told you earlier. I am the angel that was sent your way."

"I did a crime. I know I will go to jail. I just hope I can see my wife before that."

"I will not file charges against you on the ground that you saved me. I will only file charges to these two scumbags..

...

Marlon called Erik and he was frantic.

"Erik, Aryana was taken hostage and we are still locating them as of this moment."

Erik’s phone fell on the car’s floor. His hands trembled when he picked it up.

"Hello, Erik are you there?.

"Yes, I’m here. What the hell happned? Aren’t there security guards?"

He glanced at his driver.

"Can you drive faster? How far are we from site?"

"We will arrive in thirty minutes sir. The traffic is heavy today."

"Marlon, Aryana is at the admin building at the north wing of the park."

"How did you know? We are checking the barracks because there were traces that they went there.

"I installed a tracker in her phone. Don’t waste your time looking at other places."

He ended the call with Marlon and dialed Aryana’s phone. Her phone rung but nobody picked up. He tried a few times more. He did not expect Aryana to pick up. But why is no one picking up? Is her phone not with her? Shouldnt the kidnappers pick up?

"Stop the car! I’ll drive. The driver pulled over and he transferred to the passenger seat. The moment Erik sat on the driver’s seat, he stepped on the gas pedal and their car shoot into the highway overtaking a lot of cars in front of them.

The driver was holding his breath and was about to have a heart attack. His boss was driving too fast and he thought that they will collide on a car in front but Erik skillfully maneuvered the car to small gap and avoid the collision. They arrived at the construction site in fifteen minutes.

Erik walked hurriedly towards the unfinished admin building at the North wing of the park. He found Marlon and Clark there along with the police and the bomb squad.

Erik glared at Marlon.

"Why did you not protect her?"

Marlon looked down. He was feeling guilty.

"Everything happened so fast Boss. Before I knew it, we were separated and she disappeared." Marlon explained.

"Do you know who the kidnappers were? Did they make any demands?" Erik was anxious. He tried to call Aryana again.

"There are three of them. The leader is Vincent Pison. His wife is currenrl confined at the hospital. The other two are his barracks mates. The strange thing is they haven’t made any demands or attempted to contact anyone."

Erik glanced at Clark who was talking to the police. He was showing them the blueprint of the admin building. Erik approached them.

"I wonder why the kidnappers targeted a helpless woman and not the CEO. They can demand a higher ransom if it is you." He said with sarcasm in his voice.

Clark ignored Erik’s sarcasm.

"It is good that you are here Erik. The more heads, the faster we can think of a way to save Aryana. The building is not finished yet so there is no CCTV installed. We don’t know at the moment where they are exactly and there is a bomb at the door." Clark apprised Erik of the situation.

Erik scowled.

’Be safe Yana!’ He whispered in the air. He looked towards the building in front of him as if he was sending his message to her.
