All Chapters of Hostage : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

**Charles' POV**I wondered why my old friend didn’t lay his hand on me the way he used to every time he came to visit me. He would hit me, kick me, punch me, and even spit at me while cursing and name-calling. I heard all the hurtful words from him. Today was different. He came to tell me that my daughter was missing. When I showed no interest in my daughter's whereabouts, it made him angry, yet he didn’t do anything. It’s odd. After our conversation, he left and turned off the light, which I was thankful for; my eyes couldn’t bear the brightness.In my heart, I was so worried about my little girl, who was probably a grown woman by now. I can’t tell how old she is because I have stopped counting the days. In the dungeon where I was imprisoned by my old friend, all I did was pray for

***Heath*** I went upstairs to check on the Shiloh. Maybe she fell asleep. She hasn't come down since we finished watching the video again and talking with Claire and Theresa via Skype. I was right; she is sleeping while sitting, holding a book. She must have fallen asleep while reading.I walked in and slowly took the book in her hand and put it down on the bedside table. Then I slowly lifted Shiloh's body to move down to lay her down. I'm very careful not to wake her up. After putting the pillow in her head. I covered her with a blanket until her chest. I'm thankful that I didn't wake her up. She must be very sleepy and tired because she never wakes up. I switched off the light and went out of her room. I went in the kitchen and washed the green grapes, oranges, and some apples.It's already nine thirty  so I decided to visit the ranch shelter. Tonight the guests are coming to stay at the ranch. I must be there.After was

Heath's POV  "That's only a sample, sweetheart," I whispered. I couldn't believe that Shiloh was willing to surrender her body to me. I'm an ex-convict. I was convicted of a crime that I never committed. Though I was dying to take her, I respected her and, most of all, her aunt, who had helped me out in the prison cell.I can't wait to have her when the right time comes. I will marry her when all these mysteries are solved. I could feel that it was nearly coming to an end. I am already in love with her since I saw her first photo that was sent to me by my uncle. Claire has sent me too, together with her. I suppressed the feelings I had for her because I believed that she was Damien's daughter, the daughter who ruined me, and I wanted to ruin her, too. Now that I already know the truth, all I want to do is love and protect her. I will do my best to keep her away from any danger.I

*** Jethro's POV***I am thankful that the seat assigned to me is a window seat. I noticed that almost all the seats were filled, but there was no one seated between me and the man in the aisle. That's good; I thought so I could sleep since I haven't had much sleep since last night.I close my eyes when suddenly the passenger in the middle seat arrives. It's Damien's spy. What a bad omen. But probably he doesn't know me."Excuse me," he said to the man in the aisle seat. The man stood up so he could get in. "Thank you!" When he let him in.With manners, too, huh.? "You're Australian?" He asked the man in the aisle."No. I'm just going to visit a friend in Australia," he replied."I see. Hope you'll enjoy your visit to our country," he said."I'm sure I will. Thanks!" The man replied.He turned to me."How about you? Are you Australian?" he asked."Yes," I replied. 'Ca

**Shiloh's POV**"I haven't checked if Brennan has sent me a message before we sleep last night. I mean at dawn," he smiled at me mischievously.I know what he means. I move closer to him and pinch his side.He opened the messages and read them."What did he say?" I asked.He handed me his phone. And we read together. It's a screen capture.I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I hope that you can help me. It's not about me but the man who&nbs
