Chapter 67

Author: Luna Starling
“Thank you all for your patience. After a thorough review and discussion, I now hold in my hands the name of the winning company.”

The host walked onto the stage with an envelope in hand, a mysterious smile tugging at her lips. Her eyes swept slowly across the crowd, one face after another.

The tension in the room thickened again, wrapping around every corner like a vise.

“This host really knows how to drag things out. My palms are sweating already.”

“Mine too. My back’s soaked. But can you blame him? Luther Corporation is in the running. Even though Stardust’s design sketches were solid, who can say how this will end?”

“What’s there to debate? Luther Corporation is loaded, with hundreds of ventures spread across every sector. No matter how good Stardust is, it’s just a small start-up. There’s no way they can compete with Luther.”

“Exactly! Didn’t you hear how the organizer praised Luther’s designs? Trust me, the winner’s already decided.”

Eric’s sharp features tightened in irri

    They entered the hospital room together.Nora looked at Quinton lying weakly in the hospital bed, and guilt welled up inside her. She walked to the bedside and gently held his small hand, her eyes filling with tears.Travis stood nearby, silent for a moment before speaking, his tone sharp and accusing.“Nora, how could you let something like this happen? What were you thinking? If we hadn’t all worked together today, who knows what would have happened. Can’t you be a little more careful?”Nora froze. She lifted her head, staring at him in disbelief, a chill spreading through her chest.“I know I made a mistake,” she said hoarsely. “I’ve been blaming myself from the moment it happened. It was an accident. I never wanted this.”She wiped her tears and continued, her voice trembling. “Lately I’ve been under a lot of pressure from work, and I’ve had to handle things at home too. I may have been careless, but do you have to attack me like this?”Travis frowned. “Pressure from work? T

    Quinton watched the entire rescue from the corner of the factory, frozen in shock. Only when Eric and Travis rushed over and untied him, pulling the tape from his mouth, did the reality hit him.He let out a wail and threw himself into Travis’s arms. “Daddy, I was so scared.”Travis held him tightly, his voice thick. “It’s over now, buddy. Daddy’s here. You’re safe.”Eric, standing beside them, finally exhaled in relief. Outside, the police were already handcuffing the kidnappers and taking them to the patrol cars.Just then, Nora ran from the other vehicle, her face streaked with tears. Quinton looked up from his father’s shoulder and saw her. “Mom.”She dropped to her knees and wrapped him in her arms, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe. “My baby, you’re okay. Thank God, you’re okay. I was so scared.” She kept running her trembling hands over his back and arms, checking for injuries.Travis and Eric stood nearby, silent, their expressions heavy with emotion.Suddenly, th

    Before she could act, the undercover cop saw her bluff exposed. She snapped her gun up and fired at the nearest kidnapper’s leg. “Bang!” The shot echoed through the empty factory; the man screamed and collapsed.Thinking she’d bought a moment, she kicked the fallen thug’s pistol away and moved to secure the scene.Then someone from the shadows barked, “Don’t move!” A dark muzzle peered out from behind a pile of scrap and trained on her.Panic flared. She shouted, “There are more of them!”The shout stopped the approaching police in their tracks; nobody dared rush in and risk the officer’s life. The kidnappers surged from their hiding places. One of them grabbed the woman and pressed a gun to her temple. “Tell those cops to stand down, or I’ll blow her away!” he snarled.Even held like that, the officer stayed cool. “Killing me won’t help you. There are cops all around.” she said, trying to buy time.The kidnapper sneered. “Shut up. If you want to live, tell your men to back off.

    When the undercover officer reached the entrance of the chemical plant, the world around her was eerily still. The wind howled through the rusted metal structures, making the old factory groan like something alive.Following the kidnapper’s instructions, she stepped up to the front gate alone.Suddenly, a distorted, mechanical voice echoed from deep inside. “Are you Nora? Come in and put the case on the ground.”The officer cleared her throat, mimicking Nora’s voice as best she could. “I want to see my son first. I need to know he’s alive before you get the money.”A harsh laugh crackled through the speaker. “You dare set conditions with me?”The officer stayed calm. “That’s not a condition. It’s a mother’s bottom line. You want money, I want my child safe. You’ll get what you came for once I know he’s unharmed.”There was a long pause, the sound of faint breathing through the device. Finally, the voice returned, low and sharp. “Fine. Come in. But if I catch even a hint that you’

    She prayed silently, begging for her son’s safety and for the kidnappers to call again, if only so she could hear his voice.At last, the phone’s eerie ring cut through the silence. Nora jerked the phone up like she'd been shocked, voice trembling with urgency. “Hello?”The distorted, mechanical voice answered: “How’s the money coming along?”Holding herself together long enough to follow the police’s cue, Nora forced a calm tone. “I’m raising it, but I need more time.”The kidnapper laughed coldly. “This isn’t bargaining. Your son’s life is in my hands.”Nora pleaded, voice breaking, “No—no, I’m trying. Please don’t hurt him.”The voice turned cruel. “You have twenty-four hours. If the money isn’t there by this time tomorrow, don’t expect to see him again.” Then the line went dead.In a damp, dim shack on the edge of town, Quinton sat bound to a rickety chair, blindfolded and gagged, his small body shaking. The kidnapper ripped the cloth from his mouth and Quinton screamed, “Mo

    “They can’t have gotten far,” Eric said tightly, scanning the ground around the abandoned lot. “If they just moved him, we still have time.”Travis stepped up beside him, eyes burning red as he stared at the small sneaker in Nora’s hands. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. “Whoever took my son, I’ll make them pay for it.”Nora swallowed hard, forcing herself to stay composed. “We need to move fast. Quinton must be terrified right now… he’s just a child.”Her voice cracked, and tears spilled down her cheeks before she could stop them.At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. She snatched it up, her heart hammering when she saw an unknown number. Her hand trembled as she answered. “Hello?”A distorted, mechanical voice came through the line. “Is this Nora? If you want your son alive, prepare five million dollars. No police. Wait for further instructions.”Her face went pale. “What have you done to him?” she cried. “Let me hear his voice first and prove he’s al
