? ? ? ? ?

Raegan's mind went blank. She felt like she had been struck by thunder, and all the blood in her body was drained.

He stared at the woman and his lips trembled several times. In the end, he only said: "Tessa Lloyd..."

When Raegan spoke these two words, it was as if she had poured out her deep-rooted resentment.

This callous woman was the person who viciously took the life of her unborn child.

«I'm impressed! "I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance."

Tessa mocked, her voice rough and hoarse. It was as if his throat had been burned with searing tongs, and it sounded eerie in the dead of the night.

Tessa was wearing a mask and a wide-brimmed hat that covered half her face.

That's why she was a little surprised that Raegan recognized her just by looking into her eyes.

Anger surged through Raegan's heart. He clenched his fists so hard his knuckles turned white.

He stared at Tessa and said through clenched teeth, “How dare you show up here!”

Tessa's eyes were full of malice. He replied sinisterly: “Ha ha!

Why don't I dare to show up? You have ruined my life! Do you really think I'm going to let you free?

As he spoke, his voice was filled with madness.

Raegan reached for the pepper spray in her purse as she tried to divert Tessa's attention.

“Tessa, you are now a wanted criminal. If I were you, I would give up and stop making things worse.

Tessa stared at Raegan with bloodshot eyes and laughed cruelly.

"Ha ha! Unfortunate! Today I am here to drag you to hell.

As Tessa spoke, she quickly took out a spray bottle and pointed it at Raegan.

A peculiar fragrance filled the air. Raegan instinctively covered her mouth and nose, but it was too late.

Raegan had already inhaled a little and felt dizzy. He leaned against the wall and staggered back.

Raegan fumbled for the pepper spray in her purse, but realized it was gone. He panicked, unable to remember where he had put it.

Raegan began to see ghosts in front of her. But he didn't want to admit defeat. She slammed her bag against Tessa desperately, hoping to escape. But unfortunately, Tessa dodged it effortlessly.

Tessa watched Raegan struggle desperately. He smiled sinisterly.

«Stop struggling. You're just wasting your energy. Do you think you can escape from me?

The spray he used was commonly known as the one-minute knockout.

Not even a strong man or a ferocious beast could last a minute exposed to it.

Raegan's attempt to cover her mouth and nose was futile. The drug was so strong that it would still affect her. Tessa was safe only because she was wearing a specially designed mask.

Tessa calmly watched Raegan stumble toward the elevator, counting slowly: "Thirty-nine... Thirty-eight... Thirty-seven..."

At that moment, Raegan's hallucinations intensified. He could barely stand when he reached the elevator. He knelt on the floor and looked for the down button.

Raegan heard a jingle.

Then, the elevator doors opened. Raegan summoned all her strength and dragged herself with difficulty.

He fumbled for the phone in his pocket, he wanted to call the emergency line. But when he looked at the screen, everything was blurry and dark.

Suddenly, a slap echoed in the hallway.

It turned out that Raegan slapped herself hard to stay sober. But his hand had weakened. His slap was more of an attempt to soothe an itch.

But he didn't want to give up just like that. The next thing he did was bite his wrist so hard that fresh red blood oozed out, tasting the blood in his mouth.

Finally, before the elevator doors slowly closed, he managed to press a number.

The next moment, a thin hand grabbed the elevator, preventing it from closing its doors.

Tessa stood there, still counting down.

"Three... Two... One... I got you!"

Tessa laughed a harsh, unpleasant laugh.

Before Raegan completely lost consciousness, he shouted, "Tessa!"

Then everything went black and he fainted.

Inside the luxurious black car, Mitchel accidentally touched something on the seat. He picked it up and discovered it was pepper spray.

His handsome face twisted in disgust. It had to be Raegan's. Had he bought it to prevent him from approaching him?

At that moment his phone rang.

She turned her head and looked at him in the seat next to her.

When Mitchel saw the name flashing on the screen, he froze and frowned. For a moment he couldn't believe it. Why had Raegan called him suddenly?

He quickly picked up the phone and answered.

He couldn't hide the excitement in his voice.

"What's happening?"

But there was only a faint hum on the other end of the line.

Suddenly, a hoarse and unpleasant laugh resounded, reminiscent of a scalded duck's throat.

Mitchel's eyes narrowed and the expression on his flawless face froze.

Before he could come to, the call ended.

«Turn the car around! Come back to the Purple Magnolia Apartments.”

Mitchel ordered with a grim expression. Then he told Matteo: "Check Raegan's whereabouts."

Matteo was shocked when he saw the unusual anxiety on Mitchel's face.

He sensed that something was wrong with Raegan.

Matteo opened his laptop and immediately contacted the IT Department to track down Raegan's exact location. He got the results in five minutes.

Matteo turned to Mitchel with a solemn expression and reported, “Mr. Dixon, your phone signal was last detected at a quarter past ten at the Purple Magnolia Apartments. Then it was cut."

Mitchel's company's IT department had advanced technology capable of tracking the location of a phone, whether it was turned off, submerged in water, burned, or damaged.

However, when the signal dropped, it was an indication that it was a clever hacker blocking the signal.

Mitchel's expression turned cold. He sternly ordered, “Contact the team assigned to locate Tessa. Let's see if there is news.

Matteo immediately made a call to check it out. Since Tessa disappeared, Mitchel had tasked some people with locating her.

The last news they had was that it was in the coastal area.

After a few minutes, Matteo informed Mitchel: “Mr. Dixon, Tessa is no longer in the coastal area. "He's probably in Ardlens."

Mitchel immediately exuded an icy aura, reminiscent of a demon coming out of the depths of hell. He said with an icy cold voice.

«She must be the one who kidnapped Raegan. "Keep looking for it."

By this time, Mitchel had already arrived at the apartment where Raegan lived.

Mitchel headed determinedly towards the elevator.

In the hallway, he saw a beige shoulder bag lying calmly on the floor. Its contents were scattered.

Mitchel stood up straight, looking at the bag with a calm expression. But his trembling hands betrayed his emotions.

He had always solved problems calmly. But for the first time, he felt panic at Raegan's kidnapping.

Matteo quickly caught up with Mitchel and reported, “Mr. Dixon, all surveillance videos of your departure have been deliberately destroyed. "It will take time to get them back."

Mitchel's eyebrows furrowed tightly. When he regained his composure, he ordered, “Tessa must have used a car to take Raegan. Check all surrounding roads. Watch them one by one meticulously. Now".

Raegan fell into a deep sleep for a long time, tormented by nightmares.

In his dream, there were flashes of white light. It was as if someone was photographing her. He struggled to open his eyes, but could only make out an imposing silhouette.

The silhouette slowly approached Raegan, allowing her to see the features of a man more clearly. His vision was blurry and he thought it was Mitchel.

Tears filled her eyes. He struggled to speak.

“Mitchel, is that you?”

The imposing man stopped.
