Unrepairable Love

Chapter 336

At 2 a.m., the city was finally chilling out. In the silence, faint sirens could be heard in the distance. Elizabeth was tied up so tight she felt like a board, while Elijah was nodding off next to her. A few guys were gaming, muttering curses under their breath. Elizabeth was super uncomfortable. She squirmed a bit, and a few guys glanced over. “What’s your deal?”

Elijah woke up too. He checked the time, then looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth frowned and motioned for Elijah to ditch the tape.

Elijah groaned. “Man, I hate kidnapping chicks. Such a pain!” But he still untied the tape for her.

Elijah asked, “What now?”

“Not feeling well, can I move a bit?” Elizabeth asked, sounding weak and helpless. Being tied up like this, she felt like her blood was going the wrong way.

“You’re so high-maintenance. Here, have some water!” Elijah grumbled as he fetched some water. He even stuck a straw in for her.

After drinking, she felt a bit better. But as the night got colder, she felt worse.

“If you keep me tied up like this, I might croak before anyone shows up at ten,” Elizabeth said sarcastically.

Elijah didn’t say anything and went to grab some clothes.

“You think I wanna do this? Making money ain’t easy,” Elijah complained.

Elizabeth lowered her head and asked, “You hear that? The sirens are getting louder.”

Elijah scratched his ear. “Didn’t hear a thing.”

“If the cops nab you, it’s gonna get real,” Elizabeth said calmly.

Elijah chuckled, squatted in front of her, and asked, “You threatening me?” Elizabeth looked up at him.

“I just think you’re not a bad guy, so I’m giving you a heads-up.”

Elijah laughed. “Thanks!”

Elizabeth shook her head.

“How about I give you a tip? A way to make money and dodge the…”

Elijah squinted, bored, and motioned for her to go on.

“Call my friend, tell him something happened to me. Leave one guy here, the rest of you bounce,” Elizabeth said quietly, referring to the rope behind her. “By ten in the morning, if no one shows, you can cut this rope,” she added, leaning against it. Once the rope was cut, she’d fall hard. Falling onto the bricks below, she’d be toast.

“Elizabeth, you think I don’t know you’re scheming?” Elijah snorted. “Pretty girls are all liars. You can’t trick me and escape.”

Elizabeth stayed quiet.

Elijah continued, “But let me remind you…” He smiled, looking dangerous. “…if the cops come, I’m jumping with you.”

From the moment Elizabeth met Elijah, she felt he wasn’t serious about the kidnapping. But now, hearing his words and seeing his face, she didn’t dare think that anymore. Elijah was dead serious. The more someone joked, the more ruthless they were when it came down to it. Elijah knew he was taking a risk!

“Let me go, and I’ll protect you. Deal?” Elizabeth said seriously.

“I got no way back, Ms. Percy,” Elijah smiled, patting her cheek.

Elizabeth turned her head, clenching her fists. “Join me.”

“If I join you, I’d just be your lackey! I wanna be someone who calls the shots and kills without blinking, got it?” Elijah cursed, standing up. “What good is it to follow a woman like you? There’s only one person I’ll ever serve in this life!” Elijah turned around, raising one finger.
