Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 438 Ghost

Edward hummed. He looked out his window at the slowly moving traffic as Viktor drove them to their stake out point.

It was true there were men on ground already monitoring Jinn Yang and his family, but Edward preferred if his eyes were also on the duo as well.

He was still thinking on what exactly had precipitated the bond between the two. How had they met? More importantly why had they met?

According to information getting to him, the Pins were still not a part of the game meanwhile Jinn on the other hand was a top man in the community. Edward didn't see a reason for them to be friends.

The ride to the resort seemed to go on forever. Edward couldn't stop glancing between his watch and the road.

He kept tapping his knees with the hand he had placed on it while he tried to appear relaxed in the seat.

"Just a few minutes and we'd be there sir," Viktor assured his boss when he noticed the fidgeting.

Edward turned to look at him and caught the bodyguard's eyes on his hand. He stilled the tapping and looked back out the window.

"I'm in no rush," he said with a small wave. "Go as slowly as you can. We are on vacation here as well."

Viktor chuckled softly with a small shake of his head. He kept up ahead, driving as swiftly and cautiously as he could.

He wanted to get them closer to Jinn Yang in time and at the same time, he was trying to make sure they obeyed the traffic rules and kept to the speed limit.

The drive continued in welcome silence and by the time they were only about a minute away from the resort, Edward began tapping again.

He leaned forward in his seat and would have jumped out through the window by the time they were checking through security at the gate.

"Welcome to Han Bar and Resort," the guard said to them when he had confirmed that they were not with any harmful weapons.

He handed over a tally card which Edward dragged with such impatience that the guard nearly retracted his final greeting.

He gave Edward a look before raising the bars to let their car through.

"They're currently at the mall so we'd go there first."

Edward concurred with the idea. They drove to the resort's mall which was a one story building built with floor to ceiling windows fixed throughout the entire building.

This was to the advantage of the two scouts; all they had to do was park the car at a strategic point and they could get an eagle's eye view of what was happening.

"We should get something to eat," Edward suggested when they had parked the car.

Viktor scanned their surrounding. "Well, I see a food stand ahead of us. What would you like?"

"Anything that would make this as interesting as possible."

Viktor smiled with a nod. He took the debit card from Edward's outstretched arms and left the car to buy them both food.

While he waited alone in the car, Edward took out his shades and watched the vacationers move through the mall.

Naturally, the population that moved through the building was dominated by the female gender.

Edward watched with slight interest as different women with different purposes walked in and out of stores looking for stuff to purchase.

The few men he saw hanging around were mostly following the female savvy shoppers and probably paying for their goods too, by the frowns on their faces.

Even as he sympathised with them, Edward couldn't deny that he found it a little bit funny.

So far, he hadn't spotted the target, but they were certain that somewhere in the mall, the couple walked.

Edward kept his eyes out for them searching faces closely so he could be able to pick out theirs. It was while he did this that he saw her...again.

Edward's spine straightened and his breath stopped as this time he saw her clearly. This time, in daylight and unrestricted by the plethora of garments she had worn yesterday to cover up herself, Edward could see without a doubt that it was her.

The girl he'd searched for, for months; the one that had given him sleepless nights Kong before she'd become his lover; the one he'd refused to believe had died.

So many different emotions came at him at the same time as he watched her.

She stood behind a line of women who were checking out some stuff for babies and so all that Edward could clearly see was her face, still as beautiful as ever.

Her rosy pink skin looked a little less rosy than usual, but it was still the same Amy he knew. Edward couldn't believe it and even more shocking did her appearance become when the line gave way and behold: Amy's bump.

"What in the...?"

His mouth hung open and his temper began to rise as he tried to think up an explanation for the pregnancy.

"Is that why you stayed away then? Because you're carrying another man's child?" He asked no one in particular, but the seriousness that laced his tone would deceive one into thinking the person he was talking to could hear him.

"Or did you leave because you wanted to go meet your secret lover and now you're about to have his baby?"

With each second he watched Amy through the windshield, Edward's anger grew until he couldn't bear it anymore.

He threw open the car doors and stormed into the mall hoping that he could find the shop inside the busy space.

It took a few tries, but Edward finally found the baby shop Amy had slipped into and before she could escape, he pushed her into a room in the store that according to the sign on the door was meant to be storage.

Amy struggled against the grip of her attacker who she hadn't yet identified until he let go of her arm and revealed his face to her.
