That was the only way left. Luca closed her eyes and lay down on the bed as she listened to the footsteps of the two men leaving. She did not see how many ropes he carried in his hands. However, she knew there were at least six ropes tied around her hands just from looking at the man’s gestures earlier.It had become even more difficult for her to break free now.Luca thought she would not be able to save herself anymore. It was too difficult for her, and she did not have much energy left. She could only rest up and wait for another chance.The next day.Jason realized Luca did not check in at her new office. Thus, he went downstairs to look for her. It was then he found out that Luca was not in the office downstairs either.She did not come to the office at all.Jason knew she was not someone who would not skip work without giving notice. Hence, he called her and noticed that he could not get through to her phone. He immediately informed Luke about this. Luke frowned and k
The policeman heard him repeating the same words. When he was about to explain to him what the conditions were to classify someone as having gone missing, the other policeman grabbed his arm.“Mr. Crawford, please give us the information about the missing lady. We’ll try our best to look for her.”Luke picked up his phone and called Jason.He answered the phone call after two beeps. Luke then ordered the person on the other end of the call, "Send Luca's details to my phone.""Yes," Jason replied immediately. He was able to sense how nervous Luke was just by listening to his voice. Luke received the message with Luca's details after a minute. He handed his phone to the policeman. "She left after having dinner with me last night. She didn't go home. Please help find out where she is as soon as possible.""Yes." The policeman noted down Luca's details on his phone and left.The policeman who was grabbed by the arm looked at his colleague and asked with confusion, “We can’t take th
“You should’ve noticed something when you were driving, right? Their intention is obvious. It seems to me they’ve been following your woman for a long time. You must have missed them when you were driving.” Percy rubbed his chin as he analyzed the situation. Luke was good at counter-reconnaissance. He would have noticed a van following him from the office to the hotel.Luke kept silent for a moment. He was trying to recall what had happened last night. He was silent when he was driving, and he did not talk much to Luca. He would have noticed something if there was anything unusual.However, he was unaware of the things around him last night. There were only two possibilities based on the given situation. First, the kidnappers began to follow Luca at the hotel.Still, that was unlikely to happen. After all, the kidnappers would not have known Luca’s whereabouts. The second possibility was that the driver was good at reconnaissance, so they succeeded in going unnoticed by Luke
Bibbler’s Tale?A bar?Nina frowned after she hung up the phone. Luca was kidnapped, yet Luke was drinking at a bar?Although it was normal to drink at the bar, he had to attend to his business partners, after all. However, should he not be prioritizing finding Luca at a time like this?Nina suddenly thought that something was wrong when she thought so.Luca was not Binaca, and there was no need for Luke to be responsible for her, not to mention look for her.Nina found her keys, shook her head, and closed the door. She thought of what crossed her mind just now, and she thought it was because Luca was similar to Bianca, so she had such thoughts. Bibbler’s Tale.Percy drank a mouthful of liquor and watched Luke put his phone back in his pocket. Then, he asked, “Any news on Luca?”“Do you think I could sit here calmly if it was about her?”Percy nodded. “That’s true.”Luke did not stop him as he looked at the man who seemed to want to get drunk. After all, someone was on her
"I don't want to be around him." Nina shook her head as she looked at the slightly drunk man. Although he had never pestered her during this period, a drunk man could do anything. She was unwilling to keep him company. Luke frowned. “His driver is not here yet. It’s not appropriate for him to drive after drinking so much. And he’s helping to look for Luca too. You know that. If Pierre is the one who did this, then Percy will be the quickest one to find out about it. Otherwise, we won’t be able to get any news on Luca later. What if it’s really Pierre who’s behind this? He has the whole night to transfer Luca somewhere else.” What Luke said was reasonable. Nina hesitated for a moment. She was not worried about what Percy would do to her after he got drunk. She was more worried about Luca. She was partly responsible for it if Luca was really kidnapped by Pierre. After all, if it had not been for her, Luca would not have gone against Pierre. “Fine…” Nina sounded helpless.Percy
Percy stood there, looking disheveled. "Send me back. It'll be inconvenient to drive mine." Nina thought for a moment. Indeed, she had to use her car tomorrow. She would have to hail a ride and drive her car back if she drove Percy home with his car.Although she was disgusted by the strong alcohol smell on him, she wanted to rest early today. Hence, she pulled out her keys and pressed the button.The car that was parked on the roadside beeped at once.Nina said, “Come on, get him into the car.”The waiter chose not to say anything and helped him get into Nina’s car since Percy was one of the bar’s VIPs.She took a deep breath and looked at the man in the passenger seat. Then, she got into the car.She forgot to remind the waiter, who immediately placed Percy in the front passenger seat. She had no choice but to give up on the idea. She would save herself the trouble of moving him to the backseat. The air in the car was filled with a strong alcohol smell when she closed the d
The maid hurriedly came to open the door after a while.Percy held his phone and tried to ask the maid not to open the door. The door was still opened in the end. He sat in the car and put his phone back into his pocket.Maybe he should have told her that he was still staying in the villa they used to stay in.He dismissed the servants at the villa after she insisted on leaving. There was only one maid left there who was responsible for occasionally cleaning the house.Percy sat in the car and listened to the conversation between Nina and his maid. “Hello, your young master is in the car. He’s drunk, and his legs are not working now. Please come over and help him into the house.” Nina did not forget to taunt him when she was talking to the maid.Percy wanted to show her that he could walk, but she had a soft rather than hard temperament. It was better for him to pretend to be weak now.The maid shot a glance at the person in the car. It was indeed her young master. She walked o
"This is what I need." Luca was calm. She knew that pissing off the kidnappers would not do her any good. Nonetheless, she wanted to fight for more opportunities to see if she could find out more information from them.The man rolled his eyes and mocked her. "You’re being kidnapped, you’re not on vacation.""I know. You can let me die of thirst and tell your boss that I died because I was too weak to withstand your beatings." Luca looked at the hideous mask on his face without any fear."Will you die if you drink two fewer glasses of water? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" The man pinched her chin. If he was not afraid of hurting her again, he would have already taken action."I was beaten until my forehead bled yesterday and I'm very weak now. You can refuse to meet my demands. However, when the person behind you asks you for a handover, you need to figure out how you’re going to explain it to him." Luca still appeared tough even though her chin was being gripped by the k
