My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Is He Kidnapped?
Xander had been going to a martial arts class but he wasn’t strong enough to take down four grown men all by himself.

“I have nothing more to give to you. So please, just take the smartwatch and leave me alone,” he pleaded this time around.

The same man scoffed as he took a step towards Xander with a challenging gaze. “And what if we don’t?”

Xander had to back away a little when the pungent breath of the man hit his nose.

“I don’t want any trouble,” he managed to say.

“And you won’t get any if you give us all that’s in your pocket,” replied the man.

Xander needed his phone, so he wasn’t willing to give it up. He definitely wouldn’t be able to fight all of them so he did the first time that came to his mind. He ran away.

The wind rushed past Xander as he ran as fast as his feet could take him. Unfortunately for him, the bandits were starting to close in on him.

Before he could think of his next move, he felt a hard object being hit across his face and the next time that clouded his mind was nothing but pain—an excruciating pain that forced him to slow down his steps.

“You think you must be tough, huh?” The one who hit Xander on the head mocked. “Sadly you’re just a weakling,” he finished as he squatted down to Xander’s level. The others had already caught up to him, and they’d cornered him with no space to run away.

The one that hit him on the head slipped his hands into his pockets and brought out the fat wad of cash.

“I told you this kid was rich. Just look at how much money he withdrew,” said the first man with the cheese-colored teeth. “He made us super rich tonight. Check the other pocket. He should have his phone in there.”

The one that brought out the money intended to slip his hand into Xander’s pocket to bring out the phone, but the latter stopped him abruptly.

Before the bandit could question him, Xander had already landed a punch in his gut that nearly sent him kissing the ground.

It was obvious the others were shocked by what had happened.

When he ran away, they already concluded he was some weakling and it would be easy to rob him of his things.

Xander needed his phone to text Arabella and keep in touch with a few things, which was why he couldn’t let them get the phone.

Xander had to fight three of the bandits all at once and unfortunately for him, he was getting beaten up instead of doing the beating.

The bandits didn’t pity him at all and hit the wooden stick they had with them on his head, and body and made sure they beat him mercilessly.

Xander tried to handle them, but he failed.

By the time they’d finished with him, he was already looking like a mess, his blood coated around his body like a new skin.

“Come on, let’s get out of here,” the first man with the cheese-like teeth urged as soon as he took Xander’s phone.

Without wasting a single moment, they ran away, leaving him there to bleed to death.

But Xander has refused to give up. They’d take his phone, but he wasn’t going to let his life be taken away from him.

The road was still empty. Then, he suddenly saw a car drive by without even stopping to check the person on the ground.

They probably thought he was some kind of bandit himself and it was a trap laid for them.

Xande fought against the pain that surged through his body, making his knees go weak to the point he couldn’t even stand on his own two legs anymore.

But that didn’t stop him from getting up.

His supposed father had disowned him, all because he didn’t do as he wanted him to.

The sudden urge to cough arose, and more blood poured into his hands.

Just when he was about to take one more step, he felt all the rest of the energy in him completely drain from his body, as he slumped on the ground.

He mouthed the word HELP but no one was around to help him.

Xander believed this was the time he was going to leave the world.

Just when his eyes were about to close shut completely, he saw lights. They were so bright yet blurry, and from the sound of the engine, it was from a car.

He heard the car door open and close, and right there, his mind shut down completely.

In a completely furnished bedroom that was ready to live in, a figure was lying unconsciously on the bed.

The person’s eyes fluttered open as he woke up to meet the new environment he was in. The bed was so soft it tempted him to continue sleeping. But he had no idea where he was.

Xander jumped out of bed and immediately regretted it due to how hard his head banged against his skull.

“Where am I?” He wondered, recalling the last thing he saw before he completely lost consciousness. “Was father the one that brought me here?” He wondered again.

But the Wallace mansion didn’t have a room like this. A chill ran through him as he silently hoped it had been Mr. Wallace who found him in the street. If not, he had to face the unsettling possibility—he might have been kidnapped. Yet, there were no restraints on his wrists, no signs of captivity.

The door suddenly creaked open and Xander waited for Mr Wallace’s face to pop up.

However, it was an unexpectedly recognizable face he saw. A face he’d only seen once.

“Hey there, son. I see you’re awake,” Bruce said, his tone gentle but laced with concern. The softness in his voice made Xander uneasy, his mind racing as he wondered if he was truly in safe hands.
