Logan’s POV

The investigator's words remained in my head long after the call ended. “We may have something.”

That word was unbearable. I needed certainty, I needed a location, I needed Audrey.

I stood outside Nia's hospital room, staring through the glass at my daughter.

She looked peaceful now. Too peaceful for a child who had been through what she had.

The doctor had as

    Audrey’s POVI didn't move. I stood beside the bedroom door with my hand pressed against the wall, listening to the voices downstairs.“They found the other location.”The words kept repeating inside my head. “Other location.”What other location? How many places had Matteo prepared? How long had he been planning this?I looked toward the loose wooden panel near the bottom of the wall.My instincts told me to investigate it now, before Matteo came back, before whatever was happening outside became worse.I dropped to my knees and carefully pulled at the panel. It came loose with a soft creak.Behind it was a shallow compartment. My breath caught. Inside were several folded documents, a small black phone, and two keys attached to a metal ring.I picked up the phone fir

    Audrey’s POVThe first thing I noticed was how quiet the place was. It wasn't peaceful, just quiet. There was a difference.The vehicle rolled slowly along a narrow road surrounded by thick trees, the branches reaching toward the sky like twisted fingers. I kept my face turned toward the window, pretending to stare at the scenery while memorizing everything I could.A tall stone wall appeared ahead. It stretched farther than I could see, then came an iron gate.Matteo leaned forward and pressed something on the dashboard. The gate opened without anyone stepping outside.My stomach tightened. He had planned this, not yesterday, not last week.This had been planned long before he ever walked into the summit.The vehicle passed through the gate, and it closed behind us. I swallowed.There was no sign of another hou

    Audrey’s POVI didn't know if Logan had received my message. That was the thought that had been repeating in my mind ever since the car pulled away from the summit.Had he seen the recording? Had he understood what Matteo was planning? Had he found Nia?That last question was the one that hurt the most. I kept seeing her face from the video.My little girl, frightened and alone. I had promised myself that I would protect her and now I didn't even know if she was safe.I pressed my fingers together in my lap and forced myself not to cry. I couldn't afford to lose control, not here, not with Matteo sitting beside me. He glanced at me."You've been quiet,” he muttered."I'm thinking,” I replied."About Nia?" he asked and my chest tightened."Yes,” I replied.

    Logan’s POVThe investigator's words remained in my head long after the call ended. “We may have something.”That word was unbearable. I needed certainty, I needed a location, I needed Audrey.I stood outside Nia's hospital room, staring through the glass at my daughter.She looked peaceful now. Too peaceful for a child who had been through what she had.The doctor had assured me that she was stable. There were no obvious signs of serious injury, and they believed the loss of consciousness had most likely been caused by extreme fear, exhaustion, and stress.But she still hadn't fully awakened and Audrey was still missing. I rubbed my face and took a slow breath. My phone rang again."Logan,” a voice called. It was the investigator."Yes?"I replied."We've narrowed down the

    Logan’s POV"She's alive."The words barely registered. I had heard them, but my mind seemed unable to process them. I stared at the paramedic."She's alive?" I asked."Yes,” he replied.My knees nearly gave out. I closed my eyes for a second and released the breath I had been holding.Nia was alive, but when I looked toward her, relief was immediately replaced by fear. She still hadn't opened her eyes."Why isn't she waking up?"I asked and the paramedic glanced toward the medical team."We're still assessing her,” he replied."What happened to her?" I asked."We don't know yet,” he replied.That wasn't enough. I needed certainty, I needed someone to tell me my daughter was going to be fine, but medicine didn't work that way.

    Logan’s POVI had never been so afraid of my phone. It sat in my hand, the screen glowing against my palm as Audrey's recording played for the second time.I had listened to every word. Every pause, every change in her voice, and then I heard Matteo say it again."Nia is only bait,” Matteo said.My stomach twisted. I stopped the recording. For several seconds, I couldn't breathe.Around me, the summit was still happening. People were talking, guests were moving through the hall, cameras were flashing, music played quietly in the background, but none of it reached me anymore.Audrey was gone, Matteo had taken her, and Nia was somewhere in his hands.I immediately stepped away from the crowd and called the authorities."My wife has been kidnapped,” I said to the authorities.The wo

    Audrey's POVFor a moment, I genuinely thought I had suddenly developed a hearing problem, because there was no logical explanation for what I had just heard.I was certain that the stranger I had just left behind in the elevator had called my name.Not casually, but with the kind of certainty that
