Love Unspoken

Walter kicked back in the chair, grinning as he watched Abigail and Landon.

"Knew you'd show up," Walter said.

Landon just stared, not saying a word.

Walter gave him a once-over and smirked. "Man, you look like you got run over by a truck."

"What are you doing here?" Landon finally asked.

"Here to settle the score, obviously. Been waiting for you for days." Walter set down his water glass and got up, strolling over.

Abigail's eyes darted between them, and she quietly slipped behind Landon. She didn't know Walter well, but he gave off major creep vibes.

Even though she tried to avoid his gaze, Walter still noticed her.

His eyes lingered on Abigail's face for a few seconds before he looked back at Landon. "If I were you, I'd have offed her in front of Alexander and Quinn. Look at you now, all messed up, and Alexander's just chillin'." Abigail was horrified. She glared at Walter and snapped, "Quit trying to stir the pot! It won't help him, and you're the one who'd gain!"

She turned to Landon. "Landon, don't listen to him. He's just using you!"

Abigail was clearly talking out of her ass, but somehow, she hit the nail on the head.

Walter's smile faded a bit as he looked at her.

"I'm here to save you. And you're actually sticking up for Landon?" Walter sneered.

"Does what you just said sound like you're here to save me?" Abigail shot back.

She figured being Walter's hostage would be way worse than being Landon's. So she took another step back behind Landon and grabbed his arm.

"You can't let me go with him, or you'll have no leverage!" she said to Landon.

"Such an idiot." Walter sighed, plopped back down in the chair, and pulled out his phone. "Since you don't believe me, I'll call Alexander to come and save you."

Abigail suddenly doubted his words. Could he really be here to save her?

Landon sat down in the chair opposite him. "What are you really here for?" he asked.

Walter put down his phone and looked at Landon with a faint smile. "I told you, I'm here to settle the score."

Landon pressed his lips together and stared straight at him.

"Kidnapping Quinn and trying to use her to get my resources-don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Walter said with a cold smile.

"No explanation needed. Winner takes all. Now that you've caught me, do whatever you want," Landon said nonchalantly.

Walter's smile didn't fade, not surprised at all by his response.

"You're really useless. You keep losing but never give up. Why not consider my earlier proposal?" Walter said.

His proposal was for Landon to kill Abigail in front of Alexander and Quinn, which was more like a threat.

In Landon's current state, Walter could easily kill him.

Landon said, "You might as well kill me."

He had no interest in such a thankless task and didn't want to be used by Walter.

Abigail nodded in agreement. "Right, do you think Landon is as spineless as you? Do you think he would take orders from you?"

Landon glanced at her, and Abigail immediately shut her mouth, giving him an eager smile.

Walter wasn't annoyed. His gaze shifted back and forth between the two.

"In just a few days, your relationship has already become so deep?" Walter asked.

Abigail said, "More than deep. We've been through life and death together. We're good friends!"
