327 Words
The message changed everything.
Damian increased security around Amelia immediately.
But Marcus was already several steps ahead.
That evening, Amelia went to the garden with two security officers nearby.
Her phone rang.
It was her father.
“Dad?”
No answer.
Then a man's voice spoke.
“Hello, Amelia.”
Her heart stopped.
“Who is this?”
“Someone who has your father.”
She looked around.
“Where is he?”
“Come alone.”
The call ended.
Amelia immediately called Damian.
He answered.
“Where are you?”
“I'm in the garden.”
“Stay there.”
She heard footsteps behind her.
One of the security officers fell to the ground.
Amelia screamed.
A cloth was placed over her mouth.
Everything went dark.
When she opened her eyes, she was inside an unfamiliar room.
Her hands were tied.
“Damian!”
A voice came from the doorway.
“Don't waste your voice.”
Marcus entered.
Amelia stared at him.
“Where is my father?”
“Safe.”
“You're lying.”
“I have no reason to lie.”
“What do you want?”
“The ledger.”
“You already have it.”
“No.”
Marcus smiled.
“The original ledger is still with Damian.”
Amelia's heart raced.
“What will you do to him?”
Marcus stepped closer.
“Nothing, if you cooperate.”
Amelia refused to look afraid.
“You won't win.”
Marcus laughed.
“Your husband will come for you.”
She stared at him.
“That is exactly what I want.”
Meanwhile, Damian stood in the mansion surrounded by security officers.
He received a message.
A photograph of Amelia.
His blood ran cold.
Underneath it were coordinates.
Damian grabbed his jacket.
“I'm going alone.”
His security chief shook his head.
“Sir, that's too dangerous.”
Damian looked at him.
“She is my wife.”
Then he walked out.
