My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 520

"Don't ask me questions for now. I need to think."

I want to save May, but I can't risk putting myself in danger! Shawn will lose his temper the second he learns of this. Moreover, he will be disappointed if I don't talk to him about it first, but he isn't in Bryxton now, so that's not an option. Besides, LG only gave me half an hour, which put me in a bind. Should I get in touch with Sir?! Anyway, she wants me to go alone, and contacting him may be counterproductive, given his current condition.

I then ordered Joseph, "Don't follow me."

As I drove, my mind raced with potential solutions to the problem, but eventually, I remembered Ezekiel, a man I had met earlier that day. Since LG was his subordinate, I would find a solution to the problem if I asked for his assistance. Why would he help me, though? I went as far as to tell him that he and Shawn were enemies. Furthermore, he had no reason to assist me because I was Shawn's wife.

So, I bit my lip and decided to contact him because she might be a lunatic, but he was amenable. I realized I had his contact information, but I couldn't recall when I saved it. Still, why did I keep his contact information? Suddenly, something clicked in my mind, and the resulting unease made me antsy.

Soon, I dialed Ezekiel's number without hesitation, but his line was engaged. I had no choice but to end the call and drive in the direction of May's location. Therefore, I drove slowly but ensured that my speed would get me to her location within 30 minutes, and after a while, he returned my call. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I answered the call, but he was the first to speak. "Is something the matter, Ms. Felix?"

He always called me Ms. Felix as if he was my subordinate. So, I suggested, "Call me Renee, Ezekiel."

Ignoring me, he asked, "Is something the matter, Ms. Felix?"

I was speechless. Whatever. It isn't necessary, anyway.

"LG kidnapped May, Ezekiel."

Hearing my straightforward statement, Ezekiel responded, "I know."

He was aware of it. It meant that he condoned LG's kidnapping of May, and he might have given her the order. Somehow, I felt like I had sought the wrong person.

Then, he continued, "How did you find out?"

"LG told me," I answered truthfully.

At that moment, gusty wind was blowing in Bryxton. Pedestrians picked up their pace from both sides of the road, so I stopped the car by the road and explained, "Shawn told me that you have a grudge against Mr. Larson, but you abducted May… Anyway, men should always act righteously. Don't you think it's inappropriate to abduct a woman? I know there's no use in persuading you, but what exactly do you want?"

"I never act righteously." Ezekiel replied.

Winding down the window, I let the breeze into the car to sober me up because I suddenly felt dumb for calling him. Why would he let go of May simply because I persuaded him to? What if I made a deal with him?!

When I was about to speak, Ezekiel asked, "What should I do, Ms. Felix?"

I had a strange thought; he sounded like he would do as I said, but I had no faith in him!

Instead, I suggested, "Tell me your conditions."

Then, he paused before responding, "What are you trying to say?"

"Leave May alone. Mr. Larson and I will use our power and connections to help you in whatever way you want. Listen, if you dare to lay a finger on her in Bryxton, neither you nor LG will get away with it. After all, this is not your territory. Rudy, Mr. Larson, and I are here! You don't have a foothold in Bryxton, nor do you have anyone to rely on. Have you ever thought about the consequences after you hurt May?"

I purposely threw a bait and threatened him at the same time.

Ezekiel responded with a low voice, "How should I describe my previous personality? I've never recognized any of my family and am ruthless when it comes to killing. There is no room for negotiation! However, I hesitate because of one person, and I worry that she will hate me. How should I deal with my emotions if I give up on my hatred because of her? Ms. Felix, based on what Shawn said about the new replacing the old, I accept my fate of being kicked out of my previous position. Still, I can't hold back my hatred entirely. I've told you I lost my beloved woman because of them."

What Shawn said about the new replacing the old…

"Have you met Shawn?"

"A while ago," Ezekiel answered. Then, he added, "You ignored my question."

"You should settle your grudges with Mr. Larson instead of May. She's only a defenseless woman. It is not very gentlemanly and wise of you to take it out on her."

"I lost my beloved woman. How could I still watch them live happily ever after? You were the one who told me to give someone a taste of their own medicine."

Did that mean there was no room for negotiation anymore?!

When I was about to hang up the call to call Sir, Ezekiel repeated his question, "What should I do, Ms. Felix?"

"Let go of May."

"If that's your wish, I shall grant it." Following that, he hung up the call.

He said… Did he agree to let go of May?!

Glancing at the time, I realized I had 15 minutes left to rush to the location. I could still make it in time, but Ezekiel…

Should I wait for his news? Then, what if he didn't call? LG was still waiting for me!

I hesitated for a long time before deciding to contact Sir. Moreover, I was afraid of death, so I couldn't bring myself to act impulsively without considering the consequences.

On the other hand, I immediately ended the call because LG's words kept playing over and over in my head! Now, I could only risk betting on the chances. In addition, I desperately wished for Ezekiel to stop her in time.

When I arrived at the location sent by May, I noticed it was a tall building under construction. At that moment, LG sent me a text telling me to go up to the second floor. It was eerily dark there, which was quite terrifying. So, I hesitated for a long time before deciding to head upstairs.

The third floor was inaccessible, and the stairs only led to the second floor. I was relieved that the first and second floors were only a few feet apart, which put me at ease. At least it did not set off my phobia of heights, and I slowly ascended to the second floor.

Meanwhile, LG sat on a brand-new couch as though she had recently moved in. She lit up a cigarette and began puffing away. In addition, she wore a white leather jacket, which led me to conclude that white was one of her favorite colors.

After puffing out a ring of smoke, she greeted, "Hello, Mrs. Xenos." She deliberately called me that.

I looked at May and noticed that she wasn't tied up. She was free to roam around, and when she spotted me, she made a beeline straight for me.

"Ree, did you come alone?" she asked, her tone tinged with concern.

"Yeah. I was scared that she might hurt you."

"I thought you would contact Alfred—"

LG gave us plenty of space to roam around and didn't seem concerned that we might try to escape. I subconsciously took a step back along the stairs. She smiled disdainfully and scoffed, "Mrs. Xenos, my hands are covered with blood. Try as they might, no one has ever made it out of this place alive."

She was threatening me!

"Killing you is no big deal for me."

"Why did you ask me to come here?"

"I don't really like you."

So what? Are you going to kill me?!
