Chapter 424 Kidnapping
Things couldn't have turned out better for Edward, he had the love of his life back safe and sound and they were happy.
They still had a lot to work on— like how Edward was yet to introduce Amy to his other side, but he suspected she knew about it and was waiting for him to bring it up.
He hadn't found the opportunity yet and was looking for the right way to tell her. He didn't want any more secrets or surprises between them.
At his insistence they had moved in with him; that is he could watch them round the clock and still get to spend time with them.
He and Amy were learning how to navigate their work and relationship without the two clashing.
They were also learning all that they could about each other so they knew when they were stepping out of line.
Some days were difficult; those days it always seemed like they were choking and wouldn't get out of the suffocating hold it had on them, but they always came out stronger.
"Hi baby," Edward greeted as he entered the kitchen.
He walked up to Amy and gave her a kiss on the lips, she responded and went back to what she had been folding.
Edward gave Gu Zhou a high five and then placed two tickets in his palms. Amy looked at the tickets, her brother's beaming face and her boyfriend's indifferent one.

"I got him tickets to the baseball game in Florence."
Amy dropped the spoon she had been holding and folded her hands, glaring at Edward.
"Who exactly is going to follow him to Florence?"
"A friend, you, Viktor? Really, anyone can follow him to Florence Amy."
"Talk. Sitting room. Now."
Amy didn't wait to see if Edward was following after her, she just kept walking until she was standing in front of the fire place in the sitting room.
Edward winked at Gu Zhou and went after his fuming girlfriend. He wondered why Amy was always so hard on Gu Zhou. The boy deserved to have a normal childhood like every other child.
Amy didn't look happy at all when he met up with her. She raised a hand when he made to draw closer to her, stopping him from moving any further
"What's the big deal?" asked Edward.
"I don't want him getting used these luxuries Edward. I caved in about moving in with you because that was the only way to get you to shut up about it.
You can't keep doing stuff for us Edward, what if we stop seeing each other?"
"My love, stop talking like that. Nothing, nothing at all is ever going to make us stop seeing each other. I am sticking with you even if you grow tired of me."
Amy chuckled and shook her head.
"You are crazy Edward."
"About you? Very much. Let the boy have his fun, he deserves it. I will arrange for someone to escort him to Florence and if you want to follow him then I am more than happy to allow you to go."
"I see, so you can move around with another woman?" Amy quirked a brow, teasing.
"How can I? no one compares to you Amy Lee."
Amy entered Edward's embrace and kissed him. She loved this man so much, but her heart couldn't help but feel wary. historical
She felt like there was a certain doom looming over their happiness. Amy tried to get it out of her mind, but she couldn't shake the feeling off.
Edward had one of the female agents in his organization follow Gu Zhou to Florence since Amy wasn't feeling up to it.
After a lot of scrutinizing and worrying, she finally approved of the agent and allowed the trip to happen.
She followed them all the way to the departure doors, her hand firmly clutching Gu Zhou's.
"Make sure you're careful at all times and you pay attention to instructions," Amy cautioned Gu Zhou sternly.
"Allow the boy Amy," Edward admonished pulling her back.
He held her in case she had the urge to run onto the plane and drag Gu back.

"You have some very unorthodox methods of doing things Mr Wu," Amy accused groggily.
"That was the only way I could think of, you were biting your flesh at a point. You aren't even a mother yet."
"I already feel like one."
"Just calm down Amy, he is in perfectly fine hands with Yizet."
Amy had no choice but to believe Edward. Two days after Gu Zhou had left and she was satisfied that indeed he was okay, her level of worry had dropped.
*******
Amy was doing some shopping at Edward's insistence the day it happened. She had just finished paying for the items she had bought when there was a commotion outside.
People were screaming as a van headed towards the entrance of the boutique, the glass door shattering and the van coming to a stop.
Two hooded figures jumped out of the side of the open van and ran towards her. Amy was too shocked to move; she didn't even fight when they grabbed her hands and pulled her into the van.
It was only when they put a blag cloth bag over her head that what was happening registered and she began to scream.
"Shut up!" One of them shouted and slapped her hard.
Amy burst into tears from the sting and hurt, she couldn't believe what was happening to her. Who had she offended and why were they doing this?
First it was a knife to the chest from one of Edward's crazy ex and now she was being kidnapped.
She really wished Edward heard in time and found her before this people did anything lethal to her. Her thoughts also went to Gu Zhou and she prayed that he was really safe in Florence.
