Midnight Phantom Chapter 86: Missing
[Cara]I couldn’t help but feel anxious while glancing through my phone, hoping to receive a call from Nancy. I don’t feel right letting her go alone at this time.A few hours have already passed on, but still, I haven’t got anything from her. Not even a text informing me that she had reunited with her mother and that they were safe.I should have gone with her even if she doesn’t want me to. However, I could not let her face Damon’s wrath as well if he knew I deliberately disobeyed him. I can’t be too careless.No, I can’t risk it.“Come on, Nance. Don’t keep me waiting.” I pressed my phone on and checked the notification on my phone in case she had already texted me and I had simply failed to notice it.However, not even a blank message from her was there.Unable to wait any longer, I quickly navigated through my contacts list and clicked on her name. Her phone rang, but she wasn’t answering, and after a moment, my call went directly to her voice message.“Hey, this is Nancy. I’m s
Midnight Phantom Chapter 87: Trunk
[3rd POV]Nancy’s body curled up into a fetal position inside the vehicle’s trunk. She was unconscious, but her hands were bound tightly with a rope that would definitely leave marks on her skin, and her mouth was plastered shut with duct tape.She wasn’t bruised or been hurt physically, but she certainly will have a bludgeoning headache when she wakes up from the excessive amount of chemicals she inhaled to be in this drug-induced state.Earlier, when her car was apprehended right near the roundabout exit, approximately a dozen men got off from the vehicle following her.She immediately knows that they were not Damon’s men. Why else would one of them almost crash into her when she was about to leave the roundabout?Nancy stayed in her car, locking all the doors.She was so terrified that every part of her body was trembling. As she watched them approach her vehicle, her hands became clammy and cold, and she gripped the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles turned white and numb
Midnight Phantom Chapter 88: Cordoned Line
[Cara]I didn’t know what to do as I stood helplessly next to Damon while gripping the chair where Davien sat right in front of his arrays of computers. I was already panicking, my heart beating so fast and sweating profusely with anxiety, but I had to appear calm to absorb what Davien was doing on his computer, locating Nancy’s phone or her car.A huge hand suddenly spreads on my back, startling me a little, but then I relax when Damon leans over and swears. “We’ll be going to find her, Cara.”It had been an hour since her mother called me, and right after Damon found me, he brought me to Davien’s lair, where we found him deep into his computers. As much as an ass that he is, the moment he knew Nancy was missing, he didn’t say a word and immediately ran his system into haste, searching her location.Also, the embarrassment faded in me after seeing him. He did not jest nor ever mention what he had seen this morning. I don’t know if Damon threatened him or anything. Nevertheless, I cou
Midnight Phantom Chapter 89: Handkerchief
[Cara]A muscular arm wrapped around my waist just as I was about to launch myself into the car. “No, let go of me!” I struggled against him, my feet lifting off the ground, vigorously trying to kick him while screaming at the top of my lungs, hoping that my friend would hear me and show herself. “Nancy!”Please, somebody, tell me that this is all a prank just to scare me.“Cara, you need to calm down!” Damon held me tighter until I lost my strength to fight.“Check the perimeter. Make sure that there is no bomb attached to the car.” He barked out instructions to his men as they rounded Nancy’s vehicle.Only then it dawned on me how much influence Damon has in this city. The entire police officers couldn’t do much about everything soon as Damon and Davien stepped into the place.I couldn’t see much of the inside, but it was enough for me to know that no one would ever survive this kind of attack. Her car was completely destroyed.No. No. This could not be happening. I refuse to bel
Midnight Phantom Chapter 90: Comfort
[Cara]I asked Damon if we could take Aunt Margarette into his mansion while we waited for any update on where Nancy had been taken or if anyone called demanding ransom. Fortunately, he agreed, and we took Nancy’s mom with us.She was crying ceaselessly and I was doing my best to comfort her even though I was struggling myself either.Too many things had been going on, and the possibility of why she had been taken.One of our theories is that she had been targeted by one of the kidnap for ransom syndicates. Though Damon assures me, it’s not the case.Of course, he will know.He holds the largest ring in the city. However, he already explained to me that he does not condone such activity. He explicitly prohibited the entry of minor human trafficking and kidnap for ransom. Though he admits that he cannot control everything.It might be a possibility that Nancy was one of the unfortunate souls who happened to run into that place where the kidnappers were looking for their next victim.Bu
Midnight Phantom Chapter 91: Deal
[Cara] Damon’s attention snaps on me, his grip on my arms tightens, and his dark gaze narrows.“You told him to come here?”Is he blind or something? Can’t he see that I am as flabbergasted as he is?“Are you mad? Why would I call him here?”Gaping, I pushed him away from me and put quite a distance between each other before I decided to smother him right here and now.Damon tilted his head, regarding me, with a hardened stare of incredulity. “Why wouldn’t you?”I snorted in mock outrage, crossed my arms, and pretended not to hear his allegations before shifting my attention to Davien.“Let him in,” I say, immediately earning vicious retaliation from the two of them.“What? Are you fucking mad?” While Davien keeps his mouth shut, which is very brilliant of him. Damon, on the other hand, did not take it lightly. I could see the angry veins at the side of his temple poking out in contempt.I know it may sound crazy, and letting a FED inside a mafia boss’s liar isn’t that much of a good
Midnight Phantom Chapter 92: Reunion
[3rd POV—Damon] “Bro, she has her fingers wrapped around your neck. She got you in a chokehold.” Davien teased his brother as Damon went up to the foyer with him while his gaze remained on the woman. He couldn’t say no.The bastard is smoking again, and as much as he wants to yank the blasted stick out of Davien’s lips, he stops and focuses his attention on Cara, patiently waiting for her friend in the driveway.It annoys him that she basically begged him for that FED guy to enter his domain and by allowing it. He was risking too many things. There are many possibilities that could go wrong with an FBI agent poking his nose about, but when Cara pleaded with him and offered something he couldn’t resist, he caved in and opened his gate for that goddamn agent, begrudgingly welcoming him into his abode.There’s no lie in Davien’s statement. Cara indeed had her grasp around his neck, and he didn’t even bother hiding it. She might not know it, but she had him so deep into her.“Wait till yo
Midnight Phantom Chapter 93: Leaving
[Cara]The dread has been filling me these past few hours after Nancy’s gone missing.Transient happiness brimmed me when mom came in. Though I was not expecting Simone’a appearance for tonight, his presence right now is greatly appreciated, and I could tell that it helped Aunt Margarette a little to be surrounded by those people she knew she could rely on.After the loss of his husband due to ruptured aneurysm years ago, Nancy was all she had left. Aunt Margarette and mom had been close friends before I was born. It was the right decision for me to make mom come over, aside from the fact that I mainly wanted her so that I could make sure she was alright. Aunt Margarette desperately needed emotional support to help her get through these dark times.We all needed each other.I could say Damon did not approve of this. He even treated Simone poorly. But somehow, I managed him to agree, even if this meant submitting myself to him completely.I mean, he may have already taken a lot from m
