Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 425 Losing her

Edward was worried and angry when he got the news. Why exactly were his men proving to be useless?

He had put two guards on Amy and none of them had even been able to get as little as a plate number from the van.

He had been so furious that he had shot one of them in the leg. historical

He placed a call to Florence and was glad when he got news from Yizet that nothing had happened to Gu Zhou.

He wanted to yell, and he did when he was in the privacy of his home office with only Viktor present.

"Why the fuck is this happening to us?" Edward screamed swiping his hand across his table. A figurine fell and broke into pieces; it was an expensive item Edward had gotten from France.

He scoffed and looked away from the broken shards; that was the last thing on his mind right now.

"Why hadn't anyone said anything to me Viktor, who are these men and what do they want?"

"We are working on it sir."

"Work faster!" Yelled Edward.

He was really pissed off because this was the second time he had failed to protect Amy. He felt like a fool and a failure, two things Edward hated feeling like.

Just as he was about to storm out of his office, his cell phone rang. The caller ID showed a private number.

"Who is this?" Edward asked, anger clear in his voice.

The voice was muffled and sounded electronic a bit so it could have been a man or a woman.

"You have two days to hand over the authority of your organization or you won't be seeing your precious girlfriend again."

"I demand to know who this is."

"You are not in the position to be making demands Mr. Wu. Do as you're told or Miss Lee dies."

The call was cut and furious, Edward threw it against a wall. Viktor looked on, his face stoic but his heart hurting for his boss.

The man had never known love or family, even Viktor had grown used to Amy's brightening presence.

"Um sir, maybe you shouldn't have done that."

Edward turned steel eyes on Viktor, he wanted to be angry but knew the man's words were true.

"Can we still get anything from it?"

"I'll take it to Sam, ask him if he can trace where the call came from."

"Thank you, Viktor."

"We'll find her sir, we will."

Edward sighed and slumped down into his chair. He was very tired and frustrated. When he got Amy back, he was not going to allow her out of his sight for one second.

He was mentally and physically exhausted at this point. The search for Amy had gone on for days now with Edward trying to stall the request they had made as ransom for as long as possible.

Finally, Sam was able to get them a lead and the possible locations that Amy could be at.

"Are you sure about this Sam?" Asked Edward, not wanting to chase tails.

"They have been very good at covering their tracks, especially with the phone calls but these three locations have been bouncing back and forth on the radar. It has to be one of them." Sam explained.

"Okay then, Viktor you take some men and check the warehouse; Coby, you check the farm in Main field. I'll take the boathouse here, let's keep up communication through our radios. Please be careful."

"Got it boss." Both men responded and left at once.

Edward took two men with him, his blood hot to get to the location. He hoped that was where Amy was so he could do some serious damage to the fuckers that took his Amy.

The boathouse that Sam had drawn as one of their potential locations was quite a distance from Edward's house so it took them some time to get there.

They drafted a plan on the way, communicating with the others when they could. They were to watch each other's backs and their surroundings.

When they got to the boat house, they split up and started searching for Amy. Edward went around the building to the back, where the water was; he saw a shadow moving and chased after it.

The light of the moon was dim so it was a bit hard to see but he could make out a form by the water.

As Edward moved closer, he noticed that it was actually two people by the water and not one person.

Getting closer, he recognized Amy, she was at the edge of the pier with a gun pointed at her head. Edward screamed her name and began to run for the water.

But he wasn't as fast as the bullet. The gun went off and the sound pierced through his heart like a million knives.

Edward stopped sharply and watched as Amy fell backwards into the river, his heart bursting open and a wild roar tearing out of him. He lifted his gun and shot the retreating figure, but he was too far gone now for the bullet to reach.

Edward kept shouting and shooting though, like a man possessed. When he got to the spot that Amy had been shot, he crashed to his knees and looked in the water but there was no body.

He yelled for his men to come and help him, making them enter the water to search for her. They searched for hours but couldn't find Amy's body which was quite suspicious.

Edward didn't leave that spot though and for the first time in years cried till his eyes were bloodshot.

He poured his heart out as he replayed the scene of his lover being shot over and over again.

He had planned to propose to her, he was going to marry her. The one person that was his anchor in this world and she was gone.

What was he going to tell Gu Zhou? How was he going to begin explaining that his sister was dead and he, Edward, hadn't been able to save her in time before it happened.
