Aggressive Wife

Chapter 132

“Mommy said I’m the oldest.” Unfazed, Colton gave concrete evidence.

Thomas sulked.

“Why haven’t I heard Mommy talk about it before? It doesn’t count since I heard nothing of that sort. I came to your rescue. My awesomeness proves that I’m the older brother.”

“You can refute all you want, lil’ brother, but there are certain things that can’t be changed in life,” Colton patiently explained.

“I don’t care. You’re the younger brother!”

“We’re in desperate times right now. Why don’t we figure a way out of there, and leave this question to Mommy when we get out?” It was not the time and place to argue about this with Thomas. What if his abductor returned? It would put Thomas at risk too. Hence, Colton proposed an idea.

Colton initially planned to wait for the adults to arrive. Now that Thomas was here, the boy would not leave if he did not go along with him.

It was there and then that Colton decided to go on an adventure with his chatterbox brother.

“Deal!” Thomas readily agreed to the suggestion.

Thomas believed it was not wise to debate the issue right now. Although Thomas was the older brother for sure, it was best to leave the subject alone for now since Colton was injured and abducted.

He started to plan with Colton for their escape.

Thankfully, Thomas did not come unprepared.

Thomas proudly pulled out a foldable skateboard from his backpack.

He skillfully unfolded the skateboard and fastened a rope to one end of the board.

“Come on, Lil’ Brother. I’ll pull you.

“Mommy should be here any minute since she noticed us missing. We can just look for a good hiding spot. I saw a small cave not too far from here on my way here…”

Thomas gleefully showed off his gear to Colton, practically asking to be praised.

“You’re smart, Thomas.” Colton played along as Thomas gave him a look of anticipation.

“Of course. I got Mommy’s brains!”

Thomas smugly gave himself the pat on the back.

That was Colton’s cue to stop with the compliment. He quietly moved his tiny frame and sat on Thomas’ self-invented skateboard.

“Let’s go. The door isn’t locked.”

“Why didn’t you say so in the beginning when you knew the door was unlocked?” Thomas dejectedly asked.

It took quite an effort to climb through the window. Thomas was covered in dirt now.

That was mean of Colt!

“You didn’t ask.”

“I…” That was true. Thomas never did pop the question.

Thomas shut his mouth. Never mind. Thomas was willing to overlook it, seeing that his little brother was injured.

“Lil’ brother, one of my hands is fine. Can you find me a stick? I can lighten the load of you having to drag me.”

Thomas was infuriated as Colton reflected on the viability of his proposition.

While Thomas had a rounder physique, both boys shared around the same weight. It was impossible for Thomas to pull the weight on the skateboard, especially on the rutted dirt road outside the cabin.

They had a chance to reach the cave mentioned by Thomas if they both worked together.

“I’m the older brother!”

“So, about the stick…” Colton came to the conclusion that the plan would work. All that mattered now was getting the tool he needed.

Thomas did not have the heart to dispute further since Colton looked like a lost puppy dog. He helplessly sighed and started rummaging around the cabin.

It was not a tough job considering that there was a lot of firewood in the cabin.

“Alright. I’ll find one for you. I’m the older brother after all. Here you go.”

Thomas selected a stick of a suitable height among the pile of firewood and handed it to Colton.

Taking the stick, Colton measured it with his eyes and found it suitable for his usage. He lifted his chin and thanked Thomas.

“It’s perfect. Thank you, Lil’ Brother. Let’s go.”

“I’m the older brother!...” Thomas found himself in a difficult position.

Since Colton was technically a kidnapping victim, Thomas did not want to spend any more time here than he should. He pulled his skateboard and slowly made his way to the door.

Amazingly, there was good chemistry between the boys despite it being their first time working together.

Thomas was thrilled, to say the least.

He had just saved Colt. Like Daddy, Thomas was a superhero!

Acting as a team, the boys quickly got to the door.

“Wait for me, Lil’ Brother. I’m going to take a look.”

Thomas stopped and whispered to Colton who was in the back.

Bobbing his head, Colton solemnly stared at the door.

Thomas cautiously approached and stuck his ear against the door. After confirming there was no one around, he opened the door.

“Haha! The man in black isn’t back yet. This is our opportunity to make a run for it. Are you ready, Lil’ Brother? Our adventure begins here.”

Thomas excitedly ran back and pulled the rope. The boy was a ball of energy.

Colton’s straight face beamed with a rare smile, feeling secretly relieved.

The joy across Thomas’ face stirred something in Colton.

Colton was warming up to this rumbustious young brother. Thomas was a radiant sunshine who cast a ray of warmth on Colton.

With Thomas dragging Colton out of the cabin, the little boys worked together to get to the cave.

…

Since Madeline could see the cabin from afar, she stopped observing the navigation. Putting away her phone, Madeline rushed to the cabin at maximum speed.

There was a locust tree next to the cabin. The thick tree trunk could shield her entire silhouette.

She took a breather behind the locust tree while observing the cabin’s surroundings. Once she was certain no presence lurked around, Madeline cautiously drew close to the cabin.

With the door of the cabin left ajar, Madeline practiced caution at opening the door. She was about to enter the cabin when she heard a swishing noise of metal coming up from behind. Madeline turned sideways, and a dagger struck the door.

Madeline gasped the moment she got a good look at what had happened.

The dagger brushed past Madeline’s lock of hair and pinned onto the door. The blade penetrated the board, leaving the handle on the outside.

The attacker went full force.

Madeline would have been dead if the dagger struck her in the back.

She tried to pinpoint the location from where the dagger was fired, only to find three more daggers coming her way.

Thinking on her feet, Madeline swarmed into the cabin and dodged the vicious attacks. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The dagger pierced through the door and stabbed into the ground, turning the soil crimson in color.

The dagger was laced with poison!

Talk about ruthlessness.

Furrowing her brows, Madeline took out a marble from her pocket and tossed it out.

A cloud of smoke permeated in front of the cabin.

Madeline took the chance to inspect every inch of the cabin, but she faced a disappointing result.

The kids were not here!

Caught in a momentary daze, Madeline was ready to check her phone to verify the location when a man in black came up from behind and strangled her with a silver wire.
