His Devious Rule



At Johnson headquarters,

Miles sniggered when his secretary reported to him that Baby Matthews was kidnapped from the supermarket. Instead of following them, Liam was tending to his wife after making a call.

Miles leaned back on his chair and started thinking of further consequences. The woman who worries about an unknown little girl on the street would be worked up for Baby Matthews, wouldn't she?

Thus he was certain that Anya wouldn't sit quietly if she gets to know about the kidnap of a baby. She might reach the warehouse to negotiate for Liam. 

Considering Anya's position, she should be taking the cops and traffic under her control before the van could reach the warehouse. That will confirm to him Anya's resignation was fake. 

Considering her award, she will have vast connections in all kinds of departments. What if her previous colleagues or the cops help her out? Then he will be overestimating Anya.

He gritted his teeth, unable to judge the mysterious Anya Owen. "Where is she?" He asked in annoyance at his shortcoming.

The secretary responded by checking the last message he received, "Anya Owen is in the Oasis mansion."

Miles frowned a bit. Why wasn't she reacting to both of the events? If not the kidnap, she should be running behind the two students to save them, shouldn't she?

"Those two?" He asked about the two students. 

He was rushing the two students to leave the country immediately. If Anya or anybody reacts behind the two students, he will have to abort the plans for a negligible time. 

If she lets go of the two students, either he will capture her in action behind the three students or clear the network and stay away from the crime for some time. 

The secretary responded, "Five minutes to the airport, President Johnson."

By the time Anya reaches the airport, the students will fly off. If Alvin's jet was put to use, they will have to change the plan. "Keep me updated," Miles instructed and went back to work.

In secret base,

Senon rolled his eyes, watching the screen and hearing the conversation between Miles and his secretary. The last thing one should trust is the network and smart devices that make one's life easier. Because it could be manipulated easily.

However, they didn't get to know the destination of the students. It only means the plan was organized and unchanging. Anyway, he sent a message to Anya, [Miles Johonson behind the kidnap.]

—––––––

At the Oasis mansion,

Alvin, who rushed inside Anya's study to get his mobile, saw a screen playing a supermarket video. Lilian was crying and Liam seemed to be assuring her repeatedly. On another screen, she was tracking a black cargo van. 

He was about to speak when he noticed two people speeding towards the airport. 'Her mission? Will she leave today?'

He turned to Anya whose hands were frozen on the mobile and keyboard. Her eyes were staring at the screen without answering the call or messages appearing in it.

He didn't care if both events were planned at the same time or accidentally aligned. He gave a gentle squeeze to Anya's shoulder. "Little Donut…"

Anya's eyes brightened at his voice. She had forgotten for a moment that she had a successful, wealthy husband who wouldn't mind burning some money for her. 

With Jason being unbelievably busy, she could use Alvin's help, couldn't she?

She sprung on her toes and asked her husband, making a cute pleading face, "Alvin, could you please charter a plane for me? Please… I'm broke. Chief is busy, I can't use your jet."

She prayed in her mind that Alvin wasn't going to make use of the time or be short on her resources to stop her. 

Whereas, 'That's it?' Alvin was worried that she was going to put herself in danger without his help. He pinched her nose, turning it red, and grabbed his mobile, "Send me the details."

Her face brightened hearing him. "Cool." Anya immediately sat back and answered the call as she sent details to Alvin.

Alvin stepped out to make a few calls but was speechless when he saw the destination was unknown in Anya's message. So he asked Rob to keep a private jet, and pilots on standby for Anya.

After five minutes, he snickered when he returned inside. His wife is so cool. She had mobilized the patrol cops in the area the cargo van had reached. 

He has to ask his men to get to work and it would be late. Whereas his wife uses the cops to her work for free of cost. 

He recalled Jason warning her the previous time, "Little Donut, won't your chief scold you?" For using her skills for personal reasons.

Anya responded to him without taking her eyes away from the black cargo van taking frequent turns, "The Chief of Police will take the credit for nabbing the kidnappers in a short time and help me hide my activities." 

The previous time also she used the CEO of Starlight, yet she was caught. Alvin countered, "Your Chief is smart." He felt bitter in his mouth after uttering it. 

It was infuriating to think a man warns and disciplines his wife when he couldn't bring himself to even be angry at her. He shouldn't praise the man she admires.

Smart was an understatement. Jason will understand her and warn again as a formality if it was purely personal. "I'm doing nothing illegal, Alvin." And her husband was worried over nothing.

The next moment, her voice hardened when she spoke authoritatively at the microphone, "Don't chase. Don't block them with cars. They could harm the baby. Flatten the tires." She instructed. Then the cops will have to play smart. "Get the baby, let them go, catch them later."

She was sure the kidnappers were aware of the baby Matthews's identity to kidnap from the supermarket aisle. Killing the baby would get them nothing but life imprisonment. So they would try to keep their life safe.

Alvin wondered if those cops could keep up with her. He stood behind her and waited to know if she needed his assistance.

Anya brushed her eyes on the development. Her task on kidnappers was over. The cops have to handle the rest. She has to immediately and inconspicuously reach the airport.

Grabbing the stalker's mobile, Anya handed it to Alvin. "Keep reporting my fake activities... Until I return." Whereas she was sure, Alvin will give that task to Mark after her departure.

Her mobile beeped. Anya furrowed when she read Senon's message.

She showed the disappearing message to Alvin. Since Miles was in the picture, she had all the right to turn the city upside down for saving the baby. But the smartness was dealing with kidnap as low profile as possible.

Anya watched his face turn dark. Even if she misses her mission, Alvin who was waiting to deal with Casper will butcher Miles Johnson first.

Instead of Miles, Alvin had a different responsibility. A brother to Liam. Liam was angry at Alvin because he was scared and overwhelmed when Casper was admitted to the hospital and Alvin didn't answer his call.

Cupping his face, her thumb rubbed his cheek, "Your brother needs you." Liam was smart to note the car number and call them immediately. But he was clueless like any other common person. A trustable person next to him would be a great moral support.

Alvin wanted to turn her down. He didn't want to play the brother role when Liam refused his help. Nonetheless, his wife's puppy face worked on him. "You are annoying." He hissed at her and stormed out.

He wasn't expecting her to take control of the incident. Thus he would have gone to help Liam. Yet, he was annoyed as it was happening and his wife was sending him there.

Anya grabbed her laptop and a large paper bag. "Sweetheart, you left your wife behind." She ran behind him.

She met her son who was excited to know she was going to catch bad men. Jia left Zane speechless by assuring Anya that she will take care of Zane until she returns.

––––

Miles's secretary received a message, [Anya Owen is going out with her husband Alvin Matthews.]

Little did they know Anya changed the car shortly and headed straight to the private airport.

…

In Rolls Royce,

Alvin tossed every digital device to Rob and Mark and held on to the special GPS tracking tablet. Anya was wearing three tiny, unnoticeable trackers so that Alvin could be at ease.
