The air in the room was charged with tension, and Reid's voice cut through the silence, sharp and impatient."Boris, I need answers. It's been a week, and we're no closer to finding her.

"Mr. Carter, I've exhausted every resource we have. There are no trails, no hints. It's like she vanished into thin air."Reid cle

Have you found her?"Boris nodded, his gaze meeting Reid's. "We may have a lead. We employed a hacker to track Bella's social media activity, specifically through her best friend Lily's account. Just recently, a new profile accessed Lily's account, and we traced the IP address."Reid's breath caught in his throat, his heart pounding in his chest. "Where? Where is she?"Boris continued, his words measured yet laden with significance. "The IP led us to Dallas, Texas."The name of the city struck a chord within Reid, setting off a whirlwind of emotions.

She and the child are my top priorities now."Boris furrowed his brow, his usual stoic expression reflecting his uncertainty. "But sir, what about your safety? Shouldn't I be with you?"Reid shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "Boris, my safety is of no concern tonight, I have the rest of the team with me.

Mrs. Anderson wasted no time in launching her verbal assault."Let me make one thing clear," Mrs. Anderson sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. "You are not fit for my son. A young, pregnant woman managing his affairs? Ludicrous! It's a testament to his weakened state that he entrusted you with anything."Lily, though stung by the words, maintained her composure. Before she could respond, Reid came next to her, his imposing presence a stark contrast to Mrs. Anderson's calculated aggression."Mrs. Anderson, I suggest you choose your words carefully," Reid asserted, his voice steady and unwavering.

"Mr. Wilson, it's not wise to give full control to your spouse for your entire estate and businesses.
