LOGINChapter 115sopahis POVMy hands would not stop shaking as I sat inside the vehicle because every second felt like an hour, and every beat of my heart carried the same desperate prayer that Ethan and Willy would both come back safely.I kept staring through the windshield toward the abandoned warehouse standing beside the river while the evening sky slowly grew darker, making the entire place look even more frightening.Nobody inside my vehicle spoke.The security officers sitting around me remained completely focused on the warehouse while waiting for Breed's next instruction.I could not bear the silence any longer.I opened the car door and stepped outside before anyone could stop me.One of the officers hurried after me."Ma'am, please stay here."I slowly shook my head."I can't.""My son is inside.""My fiancé is inside.""I have already lost too much.""I am not sitting here while they risk their lives for our family."The officer looked uncertain, but he did not argue with me.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENEthan's POVThe sky had already begun turning orange as the last rays of sunlight stretched across the river because evening was slowly settling over the abandoned dock, and every passing minute reminded me that Willy was still somewhere ahead, waiting for someone to bring him home.Our convoy came to a silent stop several hundred meters away from the old buildings.Nobody climbed out immediately.Every member of the security team waited for my signal while Breed studied the area through a pair of binoculars.The abandoned dock looked exactly as the report had described.Several rusted warehouses stood beside the river.Broken wooden piers reached into the dark water.Tall weeds had swallowed most of the cracked concrete, making the entire place look forgotten.Breed lowered the binoculars before looking at me."There are fresh tire marks."I stepped out of the vehicle."They're here."Breed nodded."They haven't been gone long."I slowly looked around
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND 3Ethan's POVEvery second that passed felt like another second stolen from my son because somewhere out there, Willy was waiting for us, and I refused to believe that we would fail him after everything our family had already survived.The convoy sped through the city with sirens turned off because drawing attention to ourselves could place Willy in even greater danger, and I had no intention of giving the kidnappers any warning that we were getting closer.Breed sat beside me, studying the live updates appearing on the tablet resting across his lap while different members of our security team continued sending reports from every direction.The silence inside the vehicle was broken by the sharp sound of Breed's phone ringing.He answered immediately."This is Breed."His eyes narrowed as he listened."How long did the signal last?"He remained quiet for a few seconds before speaking again."Good work.""Send me the exact location."He ended the call and turned
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVEWilly's POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the strange smell surrounding me because the air was filled with dust, old wood, and something that smelled like oil, making it difficult to breathe comfortably.My head felt heavy.Everything around me looked blurry for a few moments before my eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light inside the building.I tried to move, but my hands refused to obey me.Panic immediately rushed through my body.I looked down and saw a thick rope tied tightly around my wrists before realizing that my ankles had also been tied to the legs of the wooden chair where I was sitting.My heart began beating so fast that I could hear it inside my ears.I wanted to cry.I wanted to call for Dad.I wanted to call for Mummy.Instead, I remembered something Ethan had once told me after I became frightened during a thunderstorm.He had gently placed his hand on my shoulder and smiled at me."Being brave doesn't mean you nev
Chapter 111Ethan's POVThe wedding never happened.Only a few minutes earlier, everyone had been smiling, the music had been playing, and our family had been preparing to celebrate a new beginning together, but now the entire estate had become the center of a desperate search because the only thing that mattered was bringing Willy home safely.I stood in the middle of the garden, looking at the guests who had gathered for what should have been the happiest day of our lives.Every face carried the same question.Nobody understood how everything had changed so quickly.I slowly walked toward the officiant and lowered my head respectfully."I'm sorry.""I'm afraid today's ceremony cannot continue."The elderly man looked at me with understanding instead of disappointment."Your son needs you.""Go and bring him home."I nodded gratefully before turning toward the guests."I sincerely apologize to everyone who came here today.""My son has been taken.""I cannot stand here while he is ou
Chapter 110Sophia's POVThe entire house was filled with excitement from the moment the sun came up because everyone was busy making the final preparations for the wedding, and every room echoed with happy voices as family members, staff, and decorators moved from one place to another.Fresh flowers arrived one after another.The decorators carefully arranged them around the garden while the caterers carried trays of food into the reception area.Beautiful white chairs stood neatly in long rows beneath the open sky.Everything looked exactly the way Ethan had planned it.I stood in front of the mirror while one of the makeup artists adjusted the last few strands of my hair.For a brief moment, I smiled at my reflection because after everything we had survived, this day had finally arrived.A gentle knock sounded on the bedroom door before Lexa happily pushed it open."Mummy."She ran toward me with a bright smile."You look like a princess."I laughed softly before opening my arms."
