Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 108

When Callum came to visit the next day, Elspeth was nowhere to be found, though her bed still felt warm. He

wondered why she wasn’t around, since she still had a few more days left before she could be discharged from the

hospital. She’s probably in the restroom. He frowned and waited for half an hour, but still, she didn’t show up. He

had a sinking feeling in his stomach, and he quickly called Arthur. “Get me the surveillance footage. I want to find

out where she is.”

Arthur was similarly worried when he heard of her disappearance. He needed to marry Elspeth to reach his goals. If

anything were to happen to her, then his plan would be ruined. Quickly, Arthur went through the surveillance

footage and found something strange. A few silhouettes were pulling a suitcase and looked around furtively, then

they left in a hurry. No. Don’t tell me….

He sent Callum a photo. “Went through all footage in the last three hours, and these two are our suspects. I think

they stuffed her into the suitcase and took her away.”

Callum saw the photo and his heart sank. ‘How long ago was this?”

‘About an hour. It hasn’t been too long since they left, but the footage isn’t really clear, so you might have to put in

a bit more effort.” Arthur shrugged. He didn’t care about Elspeth’s safety. All he cared about was the benefit she

could bring him. But I guess she’s going to die this time. I might have to come up with another plan.

Callum looked at the photos and called the cops, then he asked his assistant to find out all the details about these

suspects. The two of them were ex-convicts who were just released from prison not too long ago. They had no job,

but they needed money, so they walked a path of crime. The cops recognized them immediately, and they went

through their database for these criminals’ details. One was called Daniel, while the other was named Emerson.

Both lived in the slums.

Callum made a mental note of that. He told his men to search for these suspects’ parents and find their phone

numbers. He then made a call to one of them, but nobody picked it up. Then he made another call, and this one got

through.

“Who is this?” Daniel was in the passenger seat, picking away at his teeth. He had just finished a roasted chicken

when this stranger called him. Surprisingly, he didn’t even suspect anything and just picked it up.

“Where are you?”

Daniel looked outside the window and rolled his eyes. “In the middle of nowhere. What-” Wait a minute.

Something’s wrong. “Who are you?” he asked, but there was no answer, Sh’t, I shouldn’t have said so much. He

quickly hung up. “Damn it. That must have been her friend. I almost told him where we are.”

Emerson was unfazed. He kept driving and smiling. “It’s alright. He can’t find us no matter how powerful he is.

Besides, even if he does find us, we can always move.”

Daniel nodded, grinning. Then he turned his attention to Elspeth, who was deep in sleep. “Man, that drug is

powerful. Can’t believe she’s still asleep. Who is she anyway? Never knew we had a beauty like her in Damoria.”

Emerson scoffed. “We just got out of prison. Your guess is as good as mine.”

“She’s hot, though. We should have a bit of fun before we kill her.” Ooh, I can’t wait to screw her. He got a little

“Ah, buzz off, you. You have to stop thinking about sex all the time. We have a job to do.”

“Damn it.”

The bumpy ride and the sound of argument woke Elspeth up, but one look around her was enough to tell her she

was in trouble. My mouth is sealed. Great, I’m kidnapped, but these are probably amateurs. Either that or they’re

too confident in their skills. I can’t believe they didn’t tie me up or take my stuff away. However, she didn’t move.

Okay, they’re still happily chatting away. Guess they can’t see me. Quietly, she held her phone behind her and

texted someone.

She couldn’t see the screen, so she relied on her feelings. Then, she sent her location to whoever would take her

message. After that, she tucked her phone away and pretended to sleep. Resistance was an option, but her fever

took all her strength away. There was no way she would be a match for two guys, so she set that option aside.

Eventually, they slowed down, and she thought it was time to wake up. So, she ‘woke up’ and looked at them in fake

confusion. “What’s going on?”

“Oh, good morning, Barbie. Was worried the ride might be too bumpy for you.” Daniel leered and tried to touch

Elspeth’s face. “Mind telling us who you are? Your enemy wants you dead. I pity you.”

Oh, so they don’t know who I am. Good. I have better chances of survival. Explains why they’re so lax with me.

Turns out they have no idea who I am and think I’m just some random aristocrat. If they knew I’m the Elspeth, they

probably wouldn’t have taken this job. Elspeth retreated and pretended like she was just a poor little girl. “Who sent

you?”

“I can’t tell you that…….. Oh, fine. It’s not like you can see the sun of tomorrow anyway. Might as well tell you.”

She’s a defenseless girl. She can’t harm us. So, he spilled a lot of information. “Know who the Flemings are? One of

the top families in Damoria. Yeah, their young miss sent us. How on earth did you get on her bad side? She wants

you dead, you know.”

“So why aren’t you two doing your job?’

“We would, but our employer is a bit of an oddity. She wants to kill you herself. She’s on her way here as we speak.

We’re waiting for her.” He clicked his tongue, wondering how someone like Ophelia could be so cruel.

Elspeth felt fury arise within her. I know Ophelia hates my guts, but to commit murder?

Unlike his friend, Emerson was a bit smarter. He refused to divulge further information, and he patted his friend’s

shoulder. “Alright, you can stop talking now. Our employer told us to keep everything confidential. You can’t just tell

the victim everything.”
