Vanessa strained to identify where she was and realized she was in a moving vehicle, swaying back and forth."Ahem," Vanessa cleared her throat and tentatively tried to communicate with the driver. "Mr. Land, I don’t know who sent you or what promises were made to you, but if you let me go, I can give you what she can—no, I’ll give you double.""Shut up!

I need to think about it.""Hehe," Luca couldn't help but chuckle. "Don’t worry; it won’t be too difficult. You just need to keep an eye on your mommy.
