Chapter XXI: Love Bound

KYE

Last night, Harper called me frantically in tears, informing me about Krystal's disappearance. We searched the entire house and places that Krystal might have gone to, but we found nothing. To locate her, I asked my gang members to check the security cameras in Krystal's house, including the ones in the garage, front and back of the house, and the surrounding streets. After reviewing the recording from the previous night, we observed that a pizza delivery man arrived at Krystal's house and entered it, then emerged a few moments later, carrying Krystal, who was undressed and wrapped in a towel. Upon seeing the footage, I was infuriated and broke the computer in a fit of anger.

I then asked them to look at every footage within the last week. Then Harper and I saw that Damon was sneaking and was stalking Krystal.

Angrily pacing back and forth within my office, I find myself at a loss for what I should do. My fury has not subsided over the fact that Damon has not been located yet. However, before I could even cause further destruction, my attention was diverted by a message from Kaellan. The contents include a photo of Krystal, who has been tightly bound to a bed by Damon, and it's evident that she had put up a fight. Traces of bruises could be seen on her face and arms, indicating that Damon had already inflicted some harm upon her. Overwhelmed with anger, I immediately dialed the number and made the call.

"Kye..Kye..Kye! How are you my friend?" He mocked.

"Where's Krystal!" I yelled angrily through the phone but he only laughed.

"And why would I tell you?" He said.

"Where is she! I swear to you, I'll kill you if you hurt her!" I yelled angrily.

"Kill her? Hahahaha why would I kill her when Damon is making use of her?" He said then turned the call into a video call. He then directed the camera to Krystal who was laying on the bed unconscious.

"Look for yourself, she's finee!" He said mockingly.

"Krystal! Baby! Wake up!" I yelled through the phone which made Kaellan laugh yet again.

"Come on Kye, you know what we want. Although Damon, wanted Krystal and now he has her and I simply want to get my revenge from you! And by that, you know what I mean" Kaellan said with a smirk as looked at Krystal's unconscious body.

I know Kaellan wants to hurt me and by that he'll hurt Krystal.

"You can have the gang back, Kaellan, just don't hurt her!" I replied, trying to control my anger.

"Well, sorry, but I have already changed my mind. We'll have to keep her for a bit longer. Say goodbye to your precious Krystal," Kaellan said before ending the call.

I felt a surge of rage and helplessness wash over me. I needed to find a way to rescue Krystal. I knew Damon was involved in this somewhere, but I had no idea where to start looking.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I knew I had to be smart about this and think of a plan. I couldn't let my emotions control me.

I started to research and gather information on Damon and Kaellan's whereabouts. I made phone calls, hacked into databases, and followed up on leads.

Days turned into weeks and before I knew it, I was deep into the investigation. But despite my efforts, I still couldn't find a clue that would lead me to Krystal.

My frustration and worry grew with each passing moment. I was beginning to lose hope of ever finding her. But I knew I couldn't give up. Not now, not ever. Krystal was my everything and I would do whatever it takes to save her.

I couldn't believe that he would do something so cruel and heartless to someone as innocent as her. Rage boiled inside me as I vowed to make him pay for what he had done.

Despite my hesitation, I quickly called the police and reported what had happened. They promised to investigate and offered their assistance in finding Krystal.

Days turned into weeks, and with each passing day, my worry grew. I had no idea where Krystal was or what was happening to her. She was always on my mind, and the feeling of helplessness was overwhelming.

But just when I thought all hope was lost, I received a call from an unknown number. When I answered, a voice I recognized as Kaellan's spoke.

"Kye, we need to talk. Meet me at the old warehouse on 5th street at midnight," he said before hanging up.

I knew it was a risky move, but I couldn't ignore the potential lead. So, I gathered all my courage and headed to the warehouse.

When I arrived, Kaellan was waiting for me.

"Where's Krystal?" I demanded.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." He said as he called Damon.

Damon walked out as he assisted Krystal who was walking weakly. Her eyes scanned the area and when she saw me, her face lightened up. As I look at her, she starts to tear up. Her face was still bruised but I see that she had changed into something neat but her bruises, wounds and tie marks still visible.

Damon had her into a chair to make sure she won't be able to run away. My heart aches as I see her state.

"Wifey, I'm here every will be okay!" I said trying to assure her but before she could even reply Kaellan cut her off.

"Are you sure about that?!" Kaellan said as he pointed the gun in Krystal's head.

In panic, I rushed towards her but before I could, Damon angrily stepped forward to Kaellan.

"What the hell are you doing, you said you won't hurt her?" Damon asked Kaellan worriedly.

"Did I? Your obsession towards Krystal disgusted me! Step away from her before I shoot both of you! Kaellan yelled furiously.

Damon was always in love with Krystal but she hardly noticed but I did. Despite being mad at him for trying to court her, I know Krystal will turn him down that's why I remained silent. But his obsession with Krystal was far too dangerous especially now that he had already violated her. That's not love.

"This is not part of the plan! She's only bait, kill Kye not her!" He yelled but before Kaellan could shoot him. Harper shot Kaellan's hand making him drop the gun.

Of course I won't come here without any backup. Harper is a good sniper, she's one of my best assassins.

The room fell silent as everyone stared at Harper in shock. Even I was startled at her quick action.

"Damon, get Krystal out of here," Harper said calmly as she kept the gun pointed at Kaellan.

Without hesitation, Damon quickly lifted Krystal out of the chair and rushed her out of the room. I followed closely behind.

As we reached the door, I turned to Harper and saw how composed she was despite just shooting someone.

"Thank you, Harper," I said gratefully.

"It's nothing, Kye. You know I've got your back," she replied with a small smile.

With that, Harper turned back to face Kaellan, who was now clutching his injured hand in pain.

"You made a mistake coming here, Kaellan," she said sternly. "You don't mess with my family."

As Damon and I left the room, I couldn't help but feel worried but he came back with a gun on his hand, ready to fight. I hope he left Krystal to somewhere safe.
