Chapter 506 - Convincing Her

A few minutes later.

The clock was ticking, they need to get going!

Rico began talking again.

"Catherine, I can assure you that your baby is already in your husband's arms right now, safe and sound, the only missing in the picture is you. Your family is waiting for your comeback, if you want to see them again tonight, return the fork and spoon so that no one will get hurt. Please cooperate with us, we will return you home safely," Rico kept on convincing her.

"Why should I believe you?" she asked.

"I swear on my beloved mother's name that if I don't return you tonight, she will die tomorrow, I meant it," he said seriously.

Catherine was still debating internally if she will trust the leader's words or not. "Tell me first who is the mastermind of my kidnapping?" she asked..

"I'm sorry. I can't tell you who that person is, or else we all be dead. Just be thankful that something changed along the way and I was instructed by the mastermind to set you free. That's all you need to know."

"How about the driver taxi who drugged me, where is he right now?" she asked.

"We don't know anything about the identity of the taxi driver you that are talking about. What my men know is that when they followed you in the taxi to the gasoline station, they saw you crumbled unconscious in the backseat of the taxi. That's when they know that the driver has the plan to kidnap you, probably he is part of a human trafficking syndicate or he could be anything, I dunno. As you can see, the rest was history, that's all you need to know."

Catherine bit her lip, she was in deep thoughts. If he was telling the truth, that taxi driver had some sinister plan for her. Was she being so unfortunate that she was being kidnapped twice on the same night?

Anyways, the most pressing question now is should she believe him? As for the spoon and fork, she realized that they can get those items from her easily whenever she already had fallen asleep in the middle of the night.

Right now, she desperately wanted to go home, she wants to see with her very own eyes that baby Angel was now in John's hands.

She released a deep sigh, she was ready to die anyway, she might as well die outside tonight. She can no longer stay inside the room, she wants to go home! She put back the spoon and fork in the food tray.

Rico picked up the food tray. "Be ready... we will leave this place at midnight. I will come back later," he said and left the basement.

Inside the room, Catherine was desperately hoping that the leader was telling the truth that her baby was safe. Even if she will die tonight trying to escape, she will die in peace knowing that her infant daughter was already reunited with her father.

She went inside the bathroom to take a shower, she needs to stay alert, if these guys were lying to her then she will try to find a way to escape tonight. She doesn't want to return to this room ever again.

Right now she was still doubting the leader's words declaring to set her free, she will find out tonight if he was indeed telling the truth, but deep inside she was desperately hoping he was not lying. She wants this torture to end as soon as possible, she wants to be reunited with her babies and her husband tonight. Please God, let my torture end tonight, I couldn't take it anymore! she prayed fervently.

Four hours later.

The clock finally strikes at midnight.

Rico along with his comrades wore their signature black mask that covered their entire face, only the eyes and nose were exposed.

"Guys, drive straight towards the Infinity Jade Tower, we will stop two blocks from the building. I will accompany Catherine near the building just to make sure that she will get inside the building safely, as for you guys, the moment we are already walking away from the vehicle you should drive away from the place as fast as you can, this way, if she screams for help, worse come to worst I am the only one who gets caught. Don't worry guys, even if they interrogate me, they have to kill me first before they can force me to confess. That's all!" Rico said.

The two men were silent, they were both swallowing the lump in their throat. "Are you going to stage a suicide, Boss?" they asked in unison.

Rico took a deep breath. "Of course not! Just that if something goes wrong along the way, one of us has to sacrifice, so I choose to do it alone. What I wanted is for you to drive the car away as fast as you can, no matter what happens don't look back," he said.
