CEO's Dangerous Obsession

Beginning & End

Octavio's eyes became wide with horror as he saw Xander holding Madelyn with a gun in hand, pointing it at Madelyn's head. Madelyn stood still with terror as she was being held against her will. She wanted to call out to Octavio, but her lips quivered. The realization hit her that she was now in a life-and-death situation.

Sanders exited the SUV, pointing out a gun he found in the truck's compartment. He stood side-to-side with Octavio and kept his distance. "Xander. It's over! There's no point in trying to escape with Madelyn! Let her go!"

Xander was injured as a part of the skin of his forehead was dangling a bit. There was also an open wound on his right arm. He was bleeding, but it didn't seem to faze him. Xander's let out an evil smile; his eyes were crazed as blood dripped from his wounds. "There's no way in hell I'll let her go. I sacrificed a lot to have her by my side. I've come too far to lose her."

As Sanders was about to respond, more police officers arrived, and they all took out their weapons as they exited their vehicles. Xander eyed the police officers; he was surrounded and knew it. The SUV was destroyed, and he wouldn't escape with the SUV. Xander smirked as he eyed the many cars around him. "I'm willing to kill her and myself. There's no point in living if she leaves me. I would rather her be dead than be with anyone else."

Octavio couldn't believe what he heard. The situation was getting dire. Xander wouldn't hesitate to kill Madelyn and himself. The man was crazy. Sanders put down his gun and laid it on the ground. "Sanders, what are you-?"

The older man shook his hand as he focused on Xander and Madelyn. "You love her that much, don't you?"

"Don't bother; you're trying to get to my emotions."

"Yes and no. I won't bother lying to you since you're too smart for that. I know you wouldn't fear dying and killing the woman you love. However, I'm more concerned for your unborn baby. Your child is innocent of all of this. Are you willing to kill your unborn baby? It has both of your lineages."

Xander stilled. His unborn child. He almost forgot about his unborn child. "If I let her go, she will abort our child. It would be pointless in the end."

"I doubt she will abort it. Keeping the baby will be vital once she sees the child's image. Since you also kept her against her will, she threatened to abort the child to feel power or threaten you to let her go. Aborting an unborn child is not simple. One has to be entirely selfish or in a dire situation to abort. Madelyn has no either of the reasons. I know she won't abort the child. She doesn't have the will to do it."

"Ha! Like I'd believe you! You-!"

"Dear boy, I have worked in law enforcement for half my life. I have worked with many people like you and Madelyn. Women like Madelyn won't have the strength to abort an unborn child." Sanders slowly walked towards them with hands half raised. "I know that deep down, you don't want to kill your innocent unborn child. Your child won't be able to take their first breath, step, word, go to school, date, marry, and have a family."

Xander felt his heart beating rapidly. He hated to admit it; Sanders' words got to him. He didn't want Madelyn to abort their child. Xander then felt Madelyn shaking and noticed tears in her eyes. Sanders's comments brought to her. He threatened the police to get one of the cars to make a gateway, but it would be pointless. They would try to find them. He and Madelyn would eventually be found.

He was trapped. Slowly, he let go of Madelyn. The young woman was loose, and she immediately ran towards the men. Octavio also ran to her. The two were together again and hugged. Madelyn cried. Xander saw this and bit his lower lip. He raised his gun. One of the police officers noticed and shot him in the chest.
