Dear Sweetheart novel

“I’ll go with you! You can do whatever you want with me. Don’t hurt the innocent people,” Rayna said coldly.

“Is he Theodore’s son? I’ve seen Theodore’s pictures from his childhood days. This kid looks exactly like Theodore

when he was a kid! I’ve liked him for so many years, and I finally have a chance to be with him after getting

pregnant with his child, but the baby is gone… As if that wasn’t bad enough, I now find out that he has a son!”

Selena screamed uncontrollably at the top of her lungs with tears in her eyes.

Despite bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Carl protested, “No! My daddy would never fall for a woman like

you! He only has eyes for my mommy!”

Selena shot Carl a vicious glare, only to let out a cold chuckle “Your mommy is Jasmine, right? Well, guess what?

She died in a car accident long ago! She’s never going to wake up again!”

“You’re lying! My mommy isn’t dead!” Carl yelled while struggling with all of his might, but the man had the back of

his neck in a vice-like grip.

There was nothing he could do to break out of the man’s grip at all.

Selena’s lips curled into a vicious smile as she squeezed his cheeks and said, “She’s dead! You have no mommy

anymore! That’s what she gets for trying to steal my man!”

Carl glared angrily at her with reddened eyes and spat in her face.

“Argh! How dare you spit in my face? Well, I suppose the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. A woman like her

couldn’t possibly raise a decent child!” Selena exclaimed with clenched teeth while wiping the saliva off her face.

She then grabbed the gun from the man next to her, took aim at Carl, and cocked the hammer.

Rayna tensed up when she saw that. “Selena!”

As though she had received a sudden burst of courage, Rayna grabbed a chair and slammed it into the man next to

her before charging at Selena.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gun went off a few times as Rayna tackled Selena to the ground, instantly punching a few holes in the ceiling.

After recovering from his stunned state, the man rushed over and grabbed Rayna.

“How dare you hit our boss? You got a death wish or something?” he yelled while slapping her twice on the face

before pointing his gun at her.

Suddenly, the tense moment was interrupted by the faint sound of police sirens coming from the distance.

Hearing that, Selena had no choice but to give on killing Carl. “Things are going to get messy when the cops arrive.

Come on, let’s get out of here!”

She knew that she would be in huge trouble if word got out about her actions.

One of the men said, “We’ll leave through the back, miss. My car is parked there.”

Two men then grabbed Rayna and Carl as they left the restaurant through the back door with an injured Selena.

The group made their way into a black Bentley and sped through the alley.

They saw two police cars parked outside the restaurant’s main entrance when they made their way onto the main

road.

One of the men was in charge of driving the car while the other tied Rayna and Carl up in the back seat.

“Miss, where shall we take these two?” asked the man driving the car.

“To the countryside.” The look in Selena’s eyes grew increasingly vicious as her gaze fell upon Rayna’s tummy. “Call

a doctor and get him to come over. I’ll need his help.”

The man nodded and whipped out his phone to make the call.

Rayna secretly held Carl’s hand in an attempt to comfort him.

Despite her calm expression, Rayna’s heart sank after hearing what Selena told the man.

I’m not as agile due to my pregnancy, and Carl can barely fight an adult male, let alone two highly-trained

bodyguards. We don’t stand a chance at all!

With that in mind, Rayna gave the ring on her finger a little squeeze and hoped that Curtis would come and save

her.

Meanwhile, at Faymon Group, Curtis had just returned to his office after an urgent meeting.

It wasn’t until he checked his phone that he realized he had received a GPS signal.

Then he recalled the ring that he gave Rayna a long time ago. It would notify him of her location if she activated it.

Curtis’ heart sank when he pulled up the map and saw the blip moving toward a rural area. He then dialed Carl’s

number while running out of his office.

Rayna must be in trouble if she activated the ring’s GPS device!

Curtis grew increasingly anxious when neither Rayna nor Carl was answering his calls.

The mere thought of Rayna being in danger while pregnant was driving Curtis crazy.

He slammed his hand on the steering wheel in frustration and floored the accelerator.

Suddenly, he received a phone call from Jefferson.

“I just found out that shots were fired in a restaurant near Obelisk Mall. I saw Belle in the surveillance camera

footage. Is she with you right now?” Jefferson asked the moment the call got through.

“It’s highly possible that she and Carl have been abducted.” Curtis tightened his grip on the steering wheel and took

a few deep breaths to calm himself down before continuing, “I’ll send you the exact location when the GPS shows

that she has stopped moving.”

Despite being a rather sophisticated and refined gentleman, Jefferson lost his cool and cursed out loud. After a few

seconds of silence, he said, “I’ll head over right away. She’s pregnant, so she can’t afford to take any abuse! You

have to find her, Curtis!”

“I understand,” Curtis replied and hung up the phone immediately after.

He was so stressed that he ignored the traffic lights completely as he drove toward Rayna’s location at full speed.

I don’t care who it is that kidnapped them. I’ll kill them if anything happens to her and the babies!

The car finally came to a halt in the courtyard of an abandoned nursing home.

The two men then dragged Rayna and Carl into the building and tossed them onto the floor.

Selena entered shortly after and shot Rayna a glance before asking, “Where’s the doctor?”

“He says he’ll arrive a little later due to an issue with his GPS device. I have a knife, miss. How about we just cut her

open and retrieve the babies?” the man replied.

Rayna broke out in a cold sweat when she heard that but tried her best to remain calm anyway.

Selena’s eyes were filled with hatred as she said with a sneer, “No, I want her to watch as I kill her babies!”

The other man pointed at Carl, who was lying on the floor, as he asked, “What about this child, miss? Do you want

me to go ahead and kill him first?”

Rayna shook her head profusely and flashed Selena a pleading look.

Selena crouched in front of Rayna and ripped the tape off her mouth so she could speak.

Shuddering from the pain, Rayna said softly, “I know I made you angry with what I said earlier. You can do whatever

you want with me. You can even take my babies if you wish, but please let Carl go!”

“He’s Jasmine’s child! Why should I spare his life?” Selena got mad when she recalled how she lost her baby while

Jasmine’s child was perfectly fine.

Rayna tried her best to remain calm as she reasoned with her, “He’s Theodore’s child too. If you truly love

Theodore, then you shouldn’t hurt his child.”

Selena grabbed Rayna by the chin and gave it a hard squeeze. “I’m sorry, but I’m not about to help look after

another person’s child. I only care about my own child!” she shouted with an insane look in her eyes.

“Mmph! Mmph!” Carl began making muffled screams while glaring fiercely at Selena.

The look on Selena’s face turned gloomy when she realized he was saying, “Dream on!”

She then flipped him over, causing him to fall to the ground.

“Carl!”

Rayna’s face went pale when she saw that. She tried to go check on him, but Selena stopped her by grabbing her

arm.
