In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 249

Sutton burst into the house not long after the call from Prince Alexei's people. Luca was right behind her but nothing was going to slow Sutton down. They'd never grown up with the worry of kidnapping hanging over their heads, but with their combined wealth with their husbands, the threat had become terrifyingly real. The fear in Sutton's eyes told Blair everything she needed to know, this was a nightmare they'd never prepared for.

Blair could see they had dressed in a hurry. Her sister's face was pale, eyes wide with barely controlled panic. She hugged her sister tight as they both draw strength from each other.

"Where's Miles?" The first words out of Blair mouth, her voice tight with worry.

"The nanny is earning her pay today." Sutton had a nanny but she hated leaving Miles with her for any reason. Blair could see the guilt warring with the need to be here for Keira.

"Show me everything," Her sister demanded, her voice cracking slightly.

Blair handed over her phone, her own fingers trembling. Sutton studied the photo and text message, her expression hardening from worry to something harder, more focused. "The phone number isn't encrypted. That tells me it's most likely a burner which isn't traceable."

Luca grunted because Sutton had used a burner while she had modeled as Audrey when Luca had first met her. When she disappeared, it had made it impossible for him to track her down. Only fate had stepped in the way for them both, bringing them back together.

"They think they're dealing with amateurs," she muttered, a dangerous edge to her voice. "Big mistake. I'm going to see what I can find out about the photo they sent. I'm just hoping they don't have anyone tech savvy on their team. I need my equipment."

"I'll get it," Luca said before heading out to their car to get Sutton's computer. Luca was the business mind but Sutton was the brains when it came to computers and tech. Luca was back in less than a few minutes.

"The Wystovian security team is on their way," Roman informed them, his jaw tight with tension. "And my team is already mobilizing."

Luca asked Roman, "Have you contacted all airports and ports to make sure they can't get them out of the country?"

Within an hour, Roman's office wasn't big enough to be transformed into an operations center. So everyone moved into the living room using the long dining table, the space now humming with controlled urgency.

Roman's the security team Peters had arranged four men and two women had arrived and set up communications equipment in the dining room, their faces grim and professional. They asked a hundred questions.

When the Wystovian team arrived, led by a man named Mitchell, he briefed everyone on what had happened the night before, his clipped tones betraying no emotion.

"We did look into Keira to make sure she wasn't involved."

"Involved?" Sutton questioned, her voice rising sharply. "What do you mean involved? If you are suggesting for one minute our sister had anything to do with your prince getting kidnapped, I swear to God you can get out and we will find them on our own." The fury in her voice made everyone in the room tense.
