Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 377

"Luke, couldn't you just lie quietly in a ditch somewhere?"

Vespera stared at Luke like he was a serial killer, every nerve on edge.

He just never stopped. He was always showing up, haunting her like a damn ghost.

Luke's face was grim, and what he said next completely blew her mind.

"Tina was taken."

Vespera was still stuck in that annoyed headspace when his words hit her like a bolt of lightning.

"What kind of sick joke is that? Do you think this is a movie or something? That's impossible, she's locked up in holding!"

Rebecca came out of the apartment just then.

She'd heard the exchange. "Where did you even hear that? That's absolutely not possible."

Luke stepped inside.

He moved fast, Vespera and Rebecca couldn't have stopped him even if they'd wanted to.

"Half an hour ago, someone I had posted in Ashford called me. Tina was being transferred to another holding facility today. During transport, she was ambushed. One officer's dead, another's injured."

Both Vespera and Rebecca went dead silent.

A chill ran through their arms and legs.

Luke turned to Rebecca, his expression dark. "I came for you. I heard you've been working with that boy's family.

"You've been going back and forth to Ashford a lot, you've got better access. Ask your contacts in the local PD if they've heard anything."

Rebecca snapped out of the shock.

She narrowed her eyes. "Are you helping us now? Since when were you such a good guy?"

Vespera rubbed her temple. "He doesn't want to help us. He wants information. Tina's escaped, and of course, she's going to come looking for him. He's the love of her life, dear old Luke."

"Vespera, I'm worried about you," Luke said, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Worry about yourself. She's way more likely to want to see you."

"Fine… She'll come for us."

"There is no us," Vespera snapped, already sick of looking at him.

Rebecca moved aside to make a phone call.

She didn't have direct contacts in the police department, but she did have the number for the Poe siblings, and this was something they needed to know fast.

When she returned, her face was tense. "Enough. We're all on her hit list. None of us is getting out of this. Vera, call Dominic now."

Vespera pulled out her phone to make the call.

But just as it started ringing, the same ringtone echoed from outside. She took a few steps toward the door and saw Dominic stepping out of the elevator.

He looked at the three of them gathered in the entryway. "Looks like you've all heard."

"You knew?" Vespera walked up to him.

"I found out an hour ago."

"And you didn't call me?"

"I didn't want to scare you. Besides, I figured everyone…" Dominic's eyes flicked to Luke with a trace of mockery, "I would assume she wouldn't show her face this soon."

Rebecca cut in, "We're talking about Tina. She's a maniac among maniacs."

Dominic waved a hand, motioning for everyone to calm down. Then he took Vespera's hand and led her inside.

Luke saw them holding hands. Even though it made his gut twist with rage, he didn't have the energy to argue about it. Not with Tina on the loose. He had bigger problems.

They all sat down in the living room.

Rebecca looked at the two men now sharing the couch and couldn't help thinking how absurd the whole situation was.
