The Billionaire's Favor | ON HOLD

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

KENNEDY'S POV

BEING HELD HOSTAGE was not on my to do list today. Neither was grieving, but here we are.

Logan raised his hands up in surrender, and I saw fear in his eyes. The guys behind me was tightening his grip on the knife, and I felt uncomfortable.

"Look, let her go, and you can take whatever you want. I'll let you walk out of here with no problem. I won't even tell the cops about you. You can be free. Just let her go," Logan tried to convince the guy.

The guy loosened his grip, but when Logan took a step forward, it went ten times tighter. Fear crawled up my spine, and I blinked back the tears forming in my eyes.

I can't die. I can't die today. I can't leave Layla. I will not leave Layla. If I die, Asher will find out about Layla, and I will not let that monster take care of my child.

"Stay back!" The guy yelled as I struggled in his grip.

"Alright! Alright!" Logan replied, taking a step back.

"Fuck. You two weren't suppose to be home! He said that you two wouldn't be home!" The guy barked, making me flinch.

Logan furrowed his eyebrows,"Who? Who said that?"

The man laughed,"You pissed off the wrong guy, Logan Knight."

I winced in pain as the knife cut a little into my skin. Logan saw this, and he scowled.

"I swear on everybody you love, if you hurt her anymore, I will destroy you," Logan threatened, angrily. I felt the guy stiffen behind me, scared.

Good. He should be.

"This is what's going to happen," the guy announced, trying to keep his voice steady. "You are going to hand me the most expensive item in this place. Then I'm going to take it and her so you won't try anything. I will leave her on the side of the road when I'm free."

I shook my head, and the guy yelled,"Stop moving!"

Tears rolled down my cheeks, and I looked at Logan to see that he was nervous.

"Fine, but if you lay one finger on her, I will kill you myself," Logan agreed, giving me a small wink.

Why in the hell is he winking?

Then it hit me. He has a plan. Oh my gosh. Logan has a plan!

"Here," Logan told the guy before grabbing a watch from the coffee table. "This watch is over a million dollars. It's one of a kind so you can probably get more out of it than anything out of here."

When Logan went to hand it to him, the guy pointed to the ground.

"Put it down now," he instructed, making Logan nod.

Logan put the watch on the ground, and the guy quickly went down to grab it. When he did, the knife was gone from my throat.

Logan moved, quickly. He grabbed me like I was nothing, and he put me behind me. Then he punched the guy.

The guy let go of the knife, and before I could grab it, one of the other guys grabbed me from behind, covering my mouth with one of their hands.
