After the chandelier incident, Daniel doubled the security around Amina and their child, Hope.
"No one goes anywhere without security," Daniel said firmly.
Amina nodded, though she could see the worry in his eyes.
"We'll get through this," she whispered, squeezing his hand.

The next afternoon, Amina took Hope to a nearby park, accompanied by two security guards.
Hope laughed as she chased colorful butterflies across the grass.
For a brief moment, everything felt normal.
Then a black van rolled slowly to a stop near the playground.
Three men stepped out, pretending to be ordinary visitors.
One of them quietly spoke into a hidden earpiece.
"The target is in sight."
Within seconds, they rushed toward Hope.
"Amina!" one of the guards shouted.
Amina turned just in time to see a masked man reaching for her daughter.
"No!" she screamed.
She ran toward Hope, pulling her into her arms as the security guards intercepted the attackers.
A fight broke out.
Parents grabbed their children and fled in panic.
One attacker managed to break through and grabbed Amina by the arm.
Before he could drag her away, the roar of a motorcycle echoed through the park.
A helmeted rider sped straight toward the attacker, forcing him to let go.
The kidnappers realized they had lost the element of surprise.
"Retreat!" their leader shouted.
They jumped into the van and disappeared before the police arrived.

The mysterious rider removed the helmet.
Daniel stared in surprise.
"You?"
The stranger smiled faintly.

"I heard someone is trying to destroy your family," Ethan said.
"And I don't intend to let that happen."
From a distance, hidden inside another vehicle, Victoria watched everything through binoculars.
"So you've found yourself an ally," she murmured.
