Jessica sank onto the sofa, her mind racing as she tried to think clearly.
What would be her next move?
Angela was missing–Stanley must already know. Right now, he was most likely with Wendy, and the two of them were probably plotting together against her.
Jessica’s frustration boiled over. She couldn’t afford to lose such a golden opportunity. Wendy had to disappear- no matter what it took.
She pulled out her phone and typed a message to Wendy.
At that moment, Wendy sat in the CEO’s office at Hawk Group. Her phone buzzed with a notification. She glanced at the screen–it was a message from an unknown number.
[If you want your daughter to stay alive, go somewhere isolated and answer my call. Remember, if anyone else finds out, your daughter dies on the spot.]
A cold shiver ran down Wendy’s spine. The kidnappers had reached out.
She was more worried they wouldn’t make a move. Now that they had, there would be a way to find a weakness
The phone number was generated through a virtual network. She could tell the kidnappers were extremely
cautious.
Stanley, sitting in his office chair, heard the text alert and looked up at Wendy. “Your phone’s buzzing. Who’s texting you?”
She remembered the kidnappers‘ warning: No one else could know.
Wendy picked up her phone. “It’s from Halsey.”
Stanley nodded.
Just then, Zayn stepped in quietly. “The search teams still haven’t found any trace of Miss Bella or Mrs. Angela. But the good news is the kidnappers seem to be holding steady–they haven’t made a move. So for now, they are safe.”
Stanley agreed silently. He pulled out a map. “Keep searching these areas.”
Watching Stanley and Zayn pore over the plans, Wendy stood and quietly slipped out of the room.
She moved to a corner, and then her phone rang again.
Without hesitation, Wendy answered. “Hello? Who is this? Are my daughter and Mrs. Angela with you? Why have you taken them?”
A distorted mechanical voice came through, altered beyond recognition. “Yes. They are in my hands.”
Wendy gripped the phone tightly. “Where is my daughter? want to hear her voice.”
“Sure.”
Soon, a soft, childlike voice came through the line. “Mommy…”
Wendy’s voice cracked with relief. “Bella! Are you okay?”

“I’m fine now. Mrs. Angela is here with me.
Wendy forced herself to stay strong. “Don’t be scared. I’ll come for you two soon. Just hang in there, okay?”
“Okay.”
Then Angela’s voice echoed on the line. “Wendy!”
“Mrs. Angela, I-”
Wendy’s words were cut short by the mechanical voice. “Time’s up. You’ve said enough.”
Some of Wendy’s tension eased–at least Bella and Angela were safe for now. “What do you want?”
The distorted voice answered coldly, “If you want to save your daughter, you’ll do exactly as I say.”
Wendy steeled herself. “I’m listening.”
“Right now, go to the private winery. There’s a wild party going on there.”
The kidnappers wanted her to attend a party.
“I can go,” Wendy sneered, “but you have to guarantee their safety.”
“Don’t worry. As long as you obey, they’ll come back unharmed. If you don’t, they’ll pay the price. And remember
– no one else can know about this! If you tell anyone, the consequences are on you.”
