Kayra's POV
In the detention cell, time seemed to pass very slowly. I miss the peaceful moments before all this chaos happened. Thoughts about Darwis kept bothering me—how would he react after learning all this? Is there any possibility of improving our relationship in the future? I continue to reflect and hope that there is a way out of this situation. Regretting all the bad decisions I have made, I can only hope that the legal process will provide an opportunity to right the wrongs and get a second chance. At that time, the only thing I could do was wait, hoping that Adrian would come soon and give me the right directions. I have to stay calm and focus on the steps I can take to improve this situation. While sitting in the silence of the holding cell, my thoughts drifted to Rico. He is the only person I trust to help in my bigger plans. I remember our last conversation when he mentioned that he would launch a big actiRelated chapters

Erlan's POV I squirmed in my chair, my eyes kept looking at the clock on the wall which showed 9 p.m. Kate said she was just leaving briefly to meet an acquaintance at a cafe near her office. But now it's been more than two hours, and she hasn't returned yet. I tried to calm myself down by continuing my work, but my mind kept getting distracted. Finally, I decided to contact Kate. However, my call was immediately transferred to voicemail. I frowned. This is not like Kate. She always answered the phone or at least sent a message if she couldn't answer. Negative thoughts started popping into my head. I grabbed a jacket and decided to go to the cafe Kate mentioned. When we arrived there, the cafe was almost empty. I immediately approached the waiter behind the table. "Excuse me, did you see a woman named Kate here earlier?" I asked in a worried tone. The maid frowned, trying to remember. "Sorry, sir. I do

Darwis's POV I put down my cell phone in confusion after the conversation with Erlan. Why did Erlan ask me about Kate? For the past few days, Kate and I have not contacted or seen each other. Communication between us was completely cut off after office collaboration ended in tension and unilateral termination. At the police station, I sat in the waiting room full of anxiety. Why is Erlan, who shouldn't have much to do with me, asking about Kate? So far, I've tried to stay away from personal matters involving Kate. Our recent activities were limited to work matters, and there was no personal interaction at all. I repeatedly remember the conversation with Erlan. The worry in his voice was clear, and it made me feel anxious. Why didn't Erlan contact other people who might be closer to Kate? Why did he choose me, even though our relationship ended long ago? I couldn't ignore my curiosity about Kate's condition. Even though

Kate's POV Inside the building, the atmosphere was dark and stuffy. The men pushed me into a small room lit only by a dim lamp. They locked me inside and left me alone. I felt panic welling up, but I tried to stay calm and find a way to escape. Hours passed, and there was no sign of anyone coming to help me. Anxiety is getting the best of me. Thoughts about Erlan kept spinning in my mind. Has he noticed I'm missing? Will he find me here? I tried to remember the faces of my captors, looking for clues as to who they were and why they had kidnapped me. Is this work-related? Or is there someone from my past who wants revenge? My mind was constantly spinning with possibilities, but there was no definite answer. The night was getting late, and fatigue was starting to creep up on my body. I sat in the corner of the room, trying to muster the strength to stay awake and alert. Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the door. I

Erlan's POV I hung up the phone with shaking hands, my heart filled with anxiety. I stared at the phone screen, thinking about Kate's words full of despair and fear. However, I knew that simply fulfilling the kidnapper's request was not the best solution. I have to think calmly and strategically. I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the scattered documents. My mind was racing, trying to figure out the best way to save Kate without putting her life in more danger. I know that these kidnappers cannot be completely trusted. There's no guarantee that they'll let Kate go even if I pay them double. My phone rang again, and I felt my heart speed up. I took the phone and saw an unknown number. With a heavy heart, I answered the call. "Don't try to call the police or anyone else," the gruff voice on the other end said threateningly. "If you do, Kate will be in danger. We know your every move." I swallow

Erlan's POV When the black car approached, my heart beat fast. I tried to look inside the car, looking for any sign of Kate. The car door opened, and a man got out with his face covered. "Is the money ready?" he asked in a cold voice. "I have," I answered, trying to remain calm as I handed him the bag containing the ransom money. "Where's Kate?" The man smiled faintly and took the bag from my hand. He saw the amount of money we prepared and smiled happily when he found out that I really gave him the money as agreed. "We'll take her out now," he said before turning towards the car. I was very nervous and waiting for Kate, who I managed to save. I really want to catch this kidnapper, but Kate's safety comes first. However, as he approached the car, the man suddenly ran into it and the car sped away, leaving us behind. I was shocked and angry, realizing that we had been tricke

Kate's POV With feelings of relief and shock, I felt Erlan's warm embrace which made me feel a little safer. It felt like a nightmare that was finally over. But I know we're not completely out of danger yet. "Erlan, we have to get out of here quickly," I said in a trembling voice, trying to stand up with Erlan's help. Erlan nodded and helped me up. I felt my body weak, but my determination to get out of this place gave me strength. Andi and his team moved quickly, ensuring that the surrounding area was safe before we left the old warehouse. When we came out of the warehouse, the cool night breeze greeted us. It felt like the first time I could breathe freely in a long time. However, feelings of anxiety still haunted him. I looked at Erlan who remained by my side, his gaze full of concern and love. "Are you alright?" he asked in a soft voice. I nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'm fine now.

Erlan's POV After making sure Kate felt more comfortable and safe in the hospital room, I stepped outside for a moment to contact Andi. Feelings of anxiety and worry still filled my mind, but I knew that we had to immediately find out who was behind Kate's kidnapping. I took my cell phone and dialed Andi's number. The dial tone rang several times before he finally answered. "Andi, this is Erlan. Any new news?" I asked matter-of-factly, my voice tense. "We are in the process of further investigation," answered Andi. "The kidnapper we caught last night has started to open his mouth, but the information provided is still limited." "Did he say who ordered them?" I asked, hoping for more clues. Andi was silent for a moment before answering. "Not yet specifically, but he mentioned that this is related to someone who has power and influence. We are investigating further to identify who it is."

Erlan's POV I took a deep breath before answering. "We've found Kate. She was kidnapped, Darwis. But luckily, she's safe in the hospital now." There was a long pause on the phone before Darwis finally spoke again, his voice full of shock and worry. "Kidnapped? How could that happen? Is she okay now?" "Yes, she is safe now. However, she still has to rest and recover. We are still finding out who is responsible for this kidnapping," I answered, trying to explain calmly even though my feelings were still turbulent. Darwis was silent again for a moment before finally speaking in a more serious tone. "Erlan, I want to help. I can't let something like this happen to Kate. What can I do?" I was surprised by his offer of help, considering the complicated relationship between us. However, I could feel the sincerity in his voice. "Darwis, I appreciate your intentions. Right now, the best we can do is make sure Kate is
