“Girl! I have a little sister!” AJ was the first to shout upon seeing it, dancing happily as confetti rained down.“YEAHH!”Then Lori rushed to hug Ruby. “Congratulations… You’re going to have a lovely daughter for sure.”“Two,” Ed replied.“Huh?” The excitement halted for a moment as everyone stared at Ed, who had bent down to pick up a piece of paper that had fallen from the piñata. Ed noticed it, but the others ignored it.“What do you mean, two?” Ruby asked.“This. Twin.” With a slightly trembling hand, Ed showed them the word written on the paper. It wasn't out of fear or anything like that, but rather disbelief. Ruby felt the same.“Is it true?” Ruby moved closer and took the paper from Ed’s hand. She wasn’t the only one reading it—Lori and Liz peeked over her shoulder, and even Otiz looked on cur

Despite the overwhelming number of guests in the room, Liz still spotted Asher easily. His figure stood out to her.He was holding a glass, picking out food, and then turning to another room. Liz was about to call out, but he disappeared again.With quick strides, Liz followed where Asher had gone. When she saw him again, he was standing in a dim corner, facing the wall. It was an unusual place and posture.Liz sighed, sharpening her focus. Asher was adding something to his drink. He shook the glass briefly, then began walking again.Liz continued to follow, now with a whole new set of questions. In particular, what was Asher really doing in that place?Asher entered a quieter room. There were still guests, but it wasn’t as crowded as the main hall. Liz felt a wave of relief as she saw him stop, but then her steps froze when she saw what had caused him to halt.She is a beautiful woman. The model was likely a fashion show veteran. Tall, with an exotic face. They laughed together, and i

"Me?" The man pointed to himself with a confused expression that Liz was starting to despise. He looked incredibly dumb."Yes, you! I can't believe how stupid you can be! Is there nothing in that brain of yours that remembers me? You brag about being smart and all, but your memory is shorter than a finger!"Liz wanted to keep ranting, but her eyes caught the gaze of two confused children. When Liz lived with Ruby, she learned not to swear in front of kids because they imitated."I mean... you're just a little forgetful. That's... all." Liz lowered her voice, feeling a bit awkward. Five pairs of eyes stared at her in shock. Her harsh words must have been quite a spectacle.The woman, who had previously been speaking Italian, waved and invited them inside. She knew that kind of conversation wasn’t meant for children to hear.Then Anne-Marie broke the tension. She giggled. "You’re just like my mother," she said.“

"Not in the police report." Ed had skimmed through it earlier. There was no mention of a witness. This news was very fresh."They’re the type who wouldn’t talk to the police," said Ibanez."Oh, illegal." Ed immediately understood that the witness was likely an illegal immigrant. They wouldn’t talk to the police but might open up to the right person."Get more people together. I want everyone who’s not busy to come and help search." Once he realized Liz was in danger, Ed became serious."Yes, Don Rosas." Ibanez quickly sent out more messages."Does anyone know where Liz was taken?" Ed asked."I got the license plate number, and the car that used to take her was found parked at a small airport outside Etampes. It seems Senorita Liz is no longer in France." Ibanez nervously read the rest of his team’s report."Shit! What is this? Was she sold or something?" Ed didn’t want to think the worst, but it was

“Why is there another car?” Ruby turned around and saw one more car that had indeed been following them.Ruby only noticed it after they reached a quieter road. The car had been with them all along.“Yes, because it’s necessary. This area belongs to the Val family,” Ed explained with some relief.That was the first question Ruby had asked since their trip from Paris to Italy—Lake Como. She had been silent since they left the restaurant.“What do you mean by ‘area’?” Ruby only knew that Val was Ed’s friend."His family has a business here, and I'm not exactly supposed to enter casually." While gritting his teeth and squeezing his phone, Ed stated that he would likely smash it if he had the ability.That frustration was directed at Val. In such a critical moment, none of his calls to Val had come through. Not even a response. Ed wasn’t sure if Val’s phone was off or
