The Devil's Love For The Heiress by LiLhyz

Chapter 66: Where Is Kate?

The Lawn Tennis Championships.

The Wimbledon Championships, commonly known simply as Wimbledon, was the oldest tennis tournament in the world and widely regarded as the most prestigious. Its Centre Court was considered the most famous tennis court.

Unlike the Roland Garros court in Paris, Wimbledon was played on grass.

To Carlos, the court mattered in every event. Certain environmental factors often change how the ball bounced and how his feet would move against the surface. Thus, the practice was essential to him in each main event.

After waking up at four in the morning, he played tennis with Alexander on one of the grass courts. He ate a light breakfast and rested for two hours while preparing for his last match.

Heartbeats later, The Gentlemen’s Singles began.

“First set. Ronaldo, Berk to serve. Ready? the umpire confirmed, but from where he stood, he saw Carlos team of security called the superstar’s attention.

Carlos was excited about that match. It would mark his third grand slam win within that year, and he meant to take it all. Seeing Lemuel appear out of nowhere and the referee halting the game, he frowned.

The crowd and Erik Berg were equally bemused.

What’s going on, Lemuel? The game is starting?” Carlos asked.

“Sir, this is important. There is a message for you. There is a text from your old number. The same message popped up on your social media messenger,” Lemuel revealed. He showed Carlos the message, and it read:

(We have your girlfriend. Win the first set and lose the next three, or she dies.)

Carlos gulped. He was so eager for that day’s game that he did not even check all of his devices. When he woke up, Carlos merely sent Kate a text. Then, he left the hotel with his bodyguards.

He whispered to Lemuel, “Did you try to call Kate?”

“Yes, sir. I did, but she is not answering.” Lemuel replied.

“1 brought your other mobile, so you can open it,” Lemuel suggested. “You can give me her sister’s number? And Mister Jenkins can make the calls.”

Carlos nodded. After opening the phone, he instructed, “Let me call first and if Kenzie does not answer my call, ask Alex to keep calling. I doubt she would be taken from Andrew’s home. It’s very well guarded.”
