Her broken and scared voice still echoed in his ears as he hung up the phone.Lucas turned to Sebastian, who seemed more worried than ever. They had just left a conference meeting when Alex's call interrupted them.“Have you found her yet?” Lucas thundered into his phone as he got into the car with Sebastian.“They have found her location,” Sebastian muttered as Lucas ended his call. “The police are on their way. Thanks to the alarm button she set off, we can trace her current location.”With a roar, the engine started as Lucas floored the accelerator, catching up with the police on the way.

Eleanor rushed home as soon as she got the message. "Her kids were kidnapped, One million dollars and no police," she muttered, her voice barely audible, as she hurried inside. She grabbed a money bag and changed into a more convenient outfit. Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to leave without the butler or Alex noticing."I know Marcus well. He can't hurt my kids; he just needs the money and he'll let us go," Eleanor whispered, trying to reassure herself as she slipped past Alex and into the garage. The cold metal of the car door handle sent a shiver through her as she climbed in."Thirty minutes more, Elle," Marcus's voice growled over the phone. Eleanor's knuckles whitened as she gripped the steering wheel, her heart pounding.

“Lucas, I really don't think it's necessary for you to assign a bodyguard to follow me around, especially to my workplace” Eleanor frowned, her brow furrowed in concern."I see nothing wrong with it, Eleanor," Lucas replied, his deep voice firm but gentle. He nodded to the bodyguard, Alex, who unlocked the car door for her. "If anything goes wrong, don't hesitate to call me." He paused, his eyes locking onto hers. "Alex, you're also assigned to drive and take her straight back home." He kissed her gently on the cheek. "I love you."Eleanor smiled, She whispered into his ear, "You're really overdoing it, Lucas."The driver to her office was quiet as her mind rampage on what her colleagues would think of her going from the assistant of the writing company to becoming the CEO At the beginning of her marriage to Lucas, She had tried to hide it from her workplace but somehow somebody found out and told everyone, next thing she knew her boss started treating her differently, he had always
Eleanor's gaze was fixed on Sebastian as he stared at her, his eyes locking onto hers before a charming smile spread across his face. "Oh, this is just an urgent matter between I and my clients," he said, his voice smooth and calm. But as he stuttered and placed his hands in his pockets alongside his phone, Eleanor's face turned skeptical. She gazed long and hard at him, her eyes narrowing slightly.Sebastian forced a laugh and walked closer to her, "You're being paranoid, Eleanor. It's nothing really," he said, his voice low and reassuring.But as he tried to touch her, Lucas walked into the entrance door, Eleanor’s movement away from sebastian was faster than a bullet."Mr. Anderson,I hope I didn't take much of your time. I got your text; I was running a few errands," Lucas said, his deep voice filling the room. He turned to Eleanor and kissed her softly on the cheek, his lips lingering for a moment. "It seems you and Mr Anderson are getting quiet close." He watched as Eleanor smil
Eleanor's eyes locked onto Lucas, tears spilling with rapid velocity as she struggled to stand right, her head throbbing and her body felt weak. But none of that matters because she had to find her sons "What do you mean the twins are missing?" he asked her, his voice laced with confusion. As she watched him drop the fry pan he was holding, gently removing his apron and gesturing for the maids in the kitchen to exit “And why are you up and about”Eleanor's frustration went high. "Lucas, didn't you hear me? I can't find the kids! They aren't in their room, neither are they anywhere else!" Her voice cracked, and Lucas's face reflected his worry before he walked out of the kitchen, yelling, "James!!"she watched him scream the butlers name as he assisted her to a sit The butler rushed in, his footsteps quick and silent, as he bowed slightly.

Lucas paced around the house, his face filled with fury and anger. "Have you found him yet?" he barked into his phone. "No, sir." "Find him and bring him to me!" he yelled, his voice stern. "Sir, Ma'am Eleanor is awake."The butler interrupted as Lucas dashed up the stairs and towards the room with rapid speed.As he entered the room, he was met with the sight of his wife, bandaged and bruised, but smiling faintly at him. The doctor stood beside her, speaking softly to her, He turned to Lucas. "She suffered a few injuries to the head from the glass shattering, but it's a relief she woke up this morning. All she needs now is rest. I've sent my team to bring down the medication she needs to get her back in shape. I'll take my leave now."Lucas shook hands with the doctor, his grip firm.
