Austin's voice sounded rather weak. Cecily rolled her eyes and replied, "Maybe the water was just too hot for the cup. It just happened to break into pieces the moment you picked it up. Why do I feel like you've been extremely nervous these days? What are you scared of?"Austin laughed as he realized that had been scaring himself for the past few days.Cecily pulled Austin into her arms. "Come on, cheer up! We're going to take our wedding photos soon, you're gonna look ugly in the photos if you're all depressed!"Austin finally laughed out loud.…The private jet finally landed at Harrington International Airport at ten in the morning.Ezra had already informed the nearby Campbell office of Austin's arrival before the flight.Austin, Cecily, Aldus, and Wolf left the airport in cars prepared by agents of the Campbell family and were brought to the Halle Bay Hotel.The presidential suite within the hotel included views of the beach and the sea.As a tourist destination, Harrin

Under the night sky, a gentle sea breeze blew.Austin and Cecily clasped their hands together for a stroll on the beach after enjoying a hearty meal.Aldus and Wolf had already left to meet up with the photography team that had just landed.The slightly salty sea breeze had cooled down the couple.Cecily suddenly stopped and looked up at Austin with eyes gleaming with hope. "Hey, Austin? Why don't we dance here?"Austin awkwardly shook his head. "But I don't know how to dance."He then scanned through his surroundings and shrugged. "Besides, there are so many strangers around us. It would be awkward."Cecily seemed a little disappointed as she pouted. "Alright."She let go of Austin's hand, put her hands behind her back, and started kicking at the sand as she continued forward.Austin tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. He truly had no idea how to dance after all.He spent most of his time working and studying during his four years in college.He did j

"Sir, it's us!"Austin finally realized that the man before him was Aldus.And the other man currently covering Cecily's mouth was Wolf.Both of them looked extremely serious.Before Austin could ask anything, Aldus immediately led the couple into a nearby corner. "Please follow us."Austin was confused, but he reckoned something big must have happened from Aldus and Wolf's expressions. "What happened?"It would also explain why there were police cars in front of the hotel.He was mostly confused as to why Aldus and Wolf would react so violently when they were just trying to look at what was going on.Aldus' subsequent words would immediately cause Austin's heart to sink to the deepest depths. "They're here to capture you, sir."Austin was shocked beyond reason as he wondered if he had even committed any crimes in the first place.Cecily angrily retorted, "Capture him, why? They've probably got the wrong person!"They were both confused as to why the police were trying to ca

The sudden shouting took Austin by surprise.Both Aldus and Wolf immediately prepared to fight back."Stop it!" shouted Austin."Sir…""Mr. Campbell…"Both Aldus and Wolf became anxious as they turned to Austin.Austin watched as a group of police officers came running toward him before turning to Aldus and Wolf. "Do not move."Cecily's eyes turned red while her face turned pale from fear. "Austin…"Austin raised both his hands and turned around to kiss Cecily on the forehead. "Everything's fine. Just wait for me to come back, and we'll resume the wedding photoshoot, okay? After that, we'll be able to hold the wedding of our dreams."The couple stared at each other for a long while before Cecily nodded and replied, "Yes… Everything will be fine."The police officers arrived in front of them and proceeded to pin Aldus and Wolf onto the ground.The rest of the police officers surrounded Austin while one of them carefully examined Austin from head to toe before issuing orders.

It wasn't that Austin had never met a police officer, it was just that he had never met police officers with such attitudes.The most appropriate way to describe the police officers would be that they were all sloppy-looking individuals.It was a matter of temperament to still look like a thug even when they were dressed as officers of the law.Perhaps their disguise was enough to fool the average citizen. But Austin could tell that something wasn't right about them.Austin was rather skilled at recognizing someone's nature with his experience from work, and he had seen more than enough sloppy and disorganized thugs to recognize the police officers as one."Where are we going?" asked Austin."Shut up!" shouted the police officer in the passenger seat.It was apparent that he was the man calling the shots within the car.Austin frowned as he turned to look at the window.He realized that there was no longer as much traffic as before on the other side of the road.Similarly, ta

Maybe there would still be a chance if Austin tried.Falling into the hands of the Redmonts now would be basically sealing his own fate.And for Austin, he was never the type of person to just sit idly by as certain death loomed before him.Even if he was facing certain death if he struggled, he would still choose to fight to the death.Austin's eyes burned with anger as he steeled his resolve to act.Suddenly, his body twitched as a laugh could be heard coming from his mouth.The police officers sandwiching Austin from both his left and right sides were shocked.The police officer sitting in the passenger seat angrily turned around and threw his cigarette onto Austin. "What the fuck are you laughing at?"Austin's smile bloomed as he stared straight at the team leader of the disguised thugs. "You may be fake police officers, but you're genuinely the Redmont family's henchmen!"The leader of the thugs panicked for an instant before suppressing his emotions with a frown.The th

A shout came from behind Austin. "Fucking hell. You're not getting away from us!"The leader of the thugs managed to get out of the flipped-over car and started to call out to the other police cars to chase after Austin.Austin ignored him, his expression as determined as ever.He had to escape from here. "I need to get away… Cecily's still waiting for me to take the wedding photos… She's still waiting for me for the wedding."Aldus, Vincent, Wolf, and Mr. Lockwood are still waiting to be groomsmen at my wedding…"And my mom's still waiting for the day she gets to hold her grandson in her arms…"The thoughts forming in Austin's head helped strengthen his resolve to escape.There were still many people waiting for him to go home.It was something that he had longed for many, many years.Austin could not afford to be captured and killed. He had to make it out alive no matter what!The blood flowing down from his head had covered half of his face and blurred his vision, causing

Cecily opened the door before Aldus could even react to what just happened.A familiar face came into view as the door opened."Austin!" Tears flowed down her cheeks as Cecily threw herself into Austin's arms. "You scared me! You really, really scared me!"Austin smiled and replied, "I'm sorry… It really is my fault."Cecily bit down on her lips while crying and shaking her head.Both Aldus and Wolf breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they saw Austin.Austin seemed extremely run-down with his ragged clothes stained with blood and mud. He had open wounds on his head and arms.But he still made it back alive.Aldus snapped back to his senses and said, "Please come inside, sir."Cecily would not let go of Austin at all. It was as if she was worried that he would disappear from her sight once more.She only realized how much she loved and missed Austin after experiencing a separation that involved the potential loss of Austin's life.Austin smiled helplessly as he he
