Jason's mind wandered back to the fateful arguments they had a year ago, the memories still etched vividly in his mind. He recalled the determination in his daughter's eyes, the fiery passion in her voice, as she stood firmly against the arranged marriage he had planned for her. "No, Father, I won't do it!" Jane exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. "I won't marry some man I've never met, just to secure the family's business interests. I won’t involve myself in any arranged marriage whether you like it or not. I won’t be involved in your business deals of using your daughter for your selfish gain.” How dare you talk to me like that? If you don’t fulfill my wish, I will disown you as my daughter. You won’t be getting any of my properties as a Lockwood. The man shouted as his voice shook with anger. “If that’s the solution to me not getting married to someone you arranged for me, someone I don’t love, then I ceased being your daughter from today onward”. After saying this, s

"What do you mean by that?” Her voice trembled with emotions. "It's about your return to your family," Leonard said, his voice measured. "I'm afraid it's not possible... at least, not yet." Jane's face fell, disappointment washing over her. "What happened?" Leonard hesitated before speaking. "Someone's been using your disappearance to taunt your family, demanding ransom in exchange for your safe return." Jane's eyes widened in shock. "That's impossible! I'm right here, safe and sound."

The night air was tense as Agent Lee led her team as they set up surveillance around the designated location, a deserted warehouse on the outskirts of town.

She pointed the gun in her hand at Desmond. "Target spotted," whispered Agent Thompson, binoculars trained on the figure. Agent Lee nodded, her eyes locked on the figure now approaching the warehouse. "Let's move in." The team converged on the warehouse, surrounding the figure. Agent Lee stepped forward, gun drawn.

It’s like she had come back to her senses, but there isn’t any medicine for regret. She can’t undo what had happened earlier. "Tell us about your partner," Agent Lee demanded. Iris smirked.

Two weeks after the blackmailing incident, Agent Lee's investigation had reached a dead end. Despite Iris's confession, there wasn't enough evidence to link Richard to the crime. He was so smart that he met Iris in a secluded place, where his face or their conversation wouldn’t be captured and recorded. He was careful enough. Richard walked out of the police station, a smug smile on his face. "No charges will be filed," his lawyer announced. He nodded before boarding his car and took off. Iris, on the other hand, was sentenced to five years in prison for blackmail and extortion. Weeks passed, and the Lockwood family continued searching everywhere for Jane.

New York 10:00pm “Ouch,” Jane, who stood in front of the vanity in her room, winced in pain. Her eyes welled up in tears as she dabbed cotton swabs on her swollen cheek. She bit her lips to hold back her whimper. Her hand trembled slightly as she hissed through gritted teeth as the swab made contact with her tender cheek skin. The warm glow of the table lamp on her vanity cast a warm glow on her soft and delicate body.
