Chapter 14
Kimora's POV
I could feel Jay's excitement growing underneath me as I rubbed myself against him, building up the tension within me. As we continued to kiss, I decided to leave him wanting more. I broke our connection and moved to his neck, planting a trail of soft kisses till I reached his Adam's apple latching my lips to his heated skin. I wanted to leave my mark on him to show that I wanted more but later. When I withdrew my lips from his neck, I glanced at his face. His eyes held lust and pink-tinted his cheeks as his mind went blank. I looked at my work on his neck, a big dark bruise adorned his neck, and I was proud of my work.
"Now, you have something to look towards."
I walked away from his person and blew him a kiss and left. I was on my way back to the office when I saw two men standing in the hallway. Both were working on something, so I just walked by to head to the elevator. Once I stepped through the doors, the two men pushed their way into the doors and held me by my arms. The ride down wasn't interrupted by anybody, and once we reached the bottom, I was dragged off. They had gagged me and began to drag me off towards the back of the building. I tried to get them off of me, but they were too strong. I finally was able to slip out of their grip and run back into the building, when one tripped me by grabbing onto my foot. I was close enough to the door frame, so I held onto that as they pulled on me. I began to kick my legs and managed to hit one in the gut, releasing his grip on my foot. Scrambling up to my feet, I tried to run again, but they were much faster. Grabbing my waist and legs, they began to haul me to a black van.
"STOP!"
The two men stopped, and I looked up to see Jay running towards us. They rushed to get me inside the van, one behind me and the other about to climb inside. I threw my head back, making contact with the nose of one of the guys behind me, making him release me in the process. Then I shoved all my weight onto the guy climbing in, causing him to fall out. I took my chance and ran towards Jay, not sparing a glance back. All I saw was Jay, any minute now, I will be in his arms. He had his gun-armed and was firing as I made my way towards him. Covering my head as I ran through the gunfire, I was closing the gap between us.
"Jay, Diamond!"
I saw Kwon running out of the back door. I was so close to Jay now, but he wasn't focused on me but on the guys behind me. It scared me to see him like this. Was this the pain he expresses towards me? I knew he was busy, so I ran into the arms of Kwon. Once in his arms, I bawled as soon as his arms were around me. What do they want? Are they working for that guy? Kwon pulled me back inside as Jay arrested one of the men. During all the commotion, he managed to shoot the kidnapper in his leg and shoulder, but the others got away. Jay put cuffs on the man, and both made their way to the building.
"Aye man, you shot me in my leg. Shouldn't I get a wheelchair?"
"If you can talk, you can walk."
I've never seen Jay this upset before. As they passed Kwon and me, the man looked at me.
"Ahh baby girl, you have your boyfriend doing all the work. This would have allllll stopped if you just came."
He let out a spine-tingling chuckle, only to be shoved by Jay. As their figures grew smaller, Kwon held on to me till the man was out of sight.
"Are you okay, Diamond?"
And for the second time in my life, I fell silent. I was so scared that I fell to my knees. Tears streaming down my face and chills run up and down my spine. I was shaking uncontrollably. I couldn't breathe. Everything was so dark. Jay! I needed Jay! Where is he? Then I felt a cool hand on my forehead, and I began to calm down. I saw Kwon with worry written all on his face.
"Let's get you some water."
He helped me up, but I had no strength to stand. Another officer ran by and helped Kwon walk me to the break room.
Jaehwa's POV
I had the man in the interrogation room. I just watched him cringe in pain every time he would breathe.
"Man, this gunshot really hurts. Shouldn't I be treated for this?"
"You don't deserve to be helped."
"Are you upset because I got more action from that Bit..."
I slammed my hand against the table, causing him to jump.
"Why were you trying to take her? What do you want from her?"
"Nothing. My boss is the one who wants her."
"Who is your boss?"
He smirked
"Like I'm going to tell you."
I knew I wasn't going to get far with him, but at least one man is out of the picture. I headed towards the door when...
"You should tell Kimora that my boss has been waiting for a long time to finally see her again and wished that she had said yes the first time."
I just left the man and went to find Kimora.
"Detective Oh."
I turned to see Officer Jung.
"What is it?"
He just handed me a folder. Inside held pictures of the bombing from earlier. Out of the six shots, one made my heart stop. It was two bodies placed in a circle, where there two faced each other in a Yin/Yang symbol. But the thing that made my stomach drop was the little shrine in the center. The frame held a picture of Kimora. I was about to walk away when Jung stopped me.
"Sir, the two victims were identified. A Korean woman, possibly 19 or 20 years of age and an American, age 16."
I looked away, unable to process the words.
"Thank you."
He bowed and left. I felt tears build-up due to anger and fear, but I blinked them away and continued on my journey of finding Kimora. I made my way to the break room, where I saw In-Taek sitting at the table looking away from the door. I knocked to show I was there. He glanced over and put a finger to his lips. I walked around and saw Kimora asleep on the couch. Her jacket was off, and the bruises from this afternoon began to show. Two big ones adorned her upper arms, and where the gag was tied, a faint blue line began to creep its way up. I crouched to her level and stroked her hair.
"Jaehwa, there's something between you two, isn't there?"
