NovelStartChapter 841 The boat rocked precariously, like a dandelion puff caught in a gust of wind, offering no semblance of stability or safety.
Elysia was terrified of the dark, and even more so of water. Every tshe stood by the shore, an irrational fear gripped her, making her believe that something sinister was about to leap out from the depths below.
She glanced outward twice before quickly retracting her gaze, shrinking into herself, shivering uncontrollably.
She was scared. Scared of the engulfing darkness of the night, scared of the vast, all-consuming ocean! Scared of Keith, whose eyes were blinded by hatred, harboring demons in his heart! But what scared her most was the thought of something happening to Tarquin...
She couldn't bear the thought of spending her life with Keith; she just wanted to be with Tarquin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe dreamt of raising their kids together with Tarquin...
Images of Tarquin and their children, their faces, their laughter, flooded her mind, causing a sharp pang in her heart, blurring her vision with tears. She missed them, missed them terribly.
She wished for Tarquin to appear before her the next second, to throw herself into his arms and tell him how frightened she was...
Meanwhile, by the seaside, Tarquin stood gazing into the pitch-black ocean, his brow furrowed, an aura of anger surrounding him.
Axel stood beside him, "They left from here, by boat, still out there on the sea. No information on the vessel; it's likely a local fisherman's private boat. Our guys are still searching the area, but no news yet." Looking for someone in the vast night sea was like searching for a needle in a haystack! After Elysia was abducted, they had traced the clues to this point.
Axel continued, "The local fishermen say the weather's been rough these past few days, big winds, big waves. The small private boats they have can easily capsize. They won't stay out past dawn; they'll have to cin to avoid the storm.
According to the fishermen's estimates on their location, they have quite a few places they could dock. It's uncertain which one Keith might choose, but I've got people on lookout at each." Tarquin remained silent, pulling out his phone to check the map.
After what seemed like an eternity, a sudden thought struck him, tightening the lines around his eyes as he zoomed in on the map for a closer look.
He stared at it for a long while in silence, then turned on his heel and strode towards the car, his steps quick and determined.
Reaching the vehicle, he climbed into the driver's seat without a word.
Axel, puzzled, hurriedly got into the passenger seat.
The car hadn't even fully started before it was already speeding off! Axel turned to Tarquin, who was driving with a steely gaze fixed on the road ahead, his expression dark and intense.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAxel was deeply concerned about his current state. From the moment Elysia was taken, Tarquin had been on edge, not a moment of rest, not a bite of food, nor a sip of water had passed his lips!
He barely spoke, uttering less than ten sentences the whole day, most of them brief exchanges with Elliot, Evan, Emmett, and Elijah. He hadn't told the kids about Elysia's plight.
He lied, saying Elysia had to stay a couple of days with a student who was facing severe issues.
He wouldn't go back; he'd stay with Elysia.
The kids believed him, none the wiser, with Lowell staying with them at home.
Axel was worried but knew better than to voice his concerns Tarquin was like a brother to him; he knew him too well. At this moment, Tarquin was a mix of raging anger and crippling fear.
Part of him wanted to exact revenge on Keith, while another part was m terrified for Elysia's safety, all his emotions bottling up inside. Keith had crossed a line this time, taking Elysia, the person Tarquin cherished above all else! Abducting Elysia was an affront worse than ripping out Tarquin's heart! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
