Jennifer’s fingers curled into a tight fist.

Still so cautious, even now? I had taken every possible precaution–how did she see through it?

With a cold flick of her eyes, Jennifer removed her uniform, revealing a slim two–way radio clipped to her waistband.

“Boss. Ms. Ember’s gone.”

A sharp breath cut through the silence on the other end.

Though no words were spoken for a moment, the air turned chilling.

“You have one job, and you actually fail at this?!” The voice finally thundered, low and dangerous.

Even though her boss wasn’t there in person, Jennifer instinctively lowered her head, shoulders trembling.

“Find her! And bring me the kid!”

The man’s eyes burned red with fury. With a low growl, he abruptly ended the call.

The call ended abruptly, and only then did Jennifer dare to breathe.

Wiping the cold sweat from her brow, she rushed to pull up the surveillance footage.

Under the pretense of a guest caught stealing hotel property, she alerted her coworkers.

The entire hotel erupted into motion, scouring every hallway and corner. Eventually, faint traces showed up in the emergency stairwell.

Tess didn’t stop to look back. Moving silently, she crept down to the first floor and cautiously peeked around the corner toward the front desk.

Just moments ago, two or three staff were stationed there. Now, it was completely deserted.

Her heart dropped.

They were definitely out searching for her.

Pank clutched at her throat. Staying low, she bolted out of the hotel.

Her strange movement didn’t go unnoticed. A dejected–looking bellhop spotted her and suddenly lit up. “There she is!”

His shout triggered a wave of frenzy. The hotel burst into chaos.

Tess dared not stop. To her, the noise behind her might as well have been a stampede of monsters.

The footsteps grew louder, closer. She was no match–one arm carrying Layla, the other dragging a suitcase. They’d catch her

Thinking fast she darted her eyes and ducked into an unlit corner just past a bend in the hall.

Where’d she go? She was right here!”

No idea! She’s carrying a kid, she can’t have gone far. Split up–find her!”

If you spot her report immediately

Footsteps scattered in all directions.

Layla had been snatched.

Tess’s eyes flew wide, her mind blank with shock. She stood there frozen, like she’d been clubbed over the head.

Then, as if the paralysis shattered, she shot to her feet and screamed, her voice raw and ragged, “Who are you?! Give me back my baby!

She broke into a run, letting the suitcase crash behind her as she spun wildly, shouting at the dark, “Come out! What do you want? Money? I have money! I’ll give you whatever you want–just give her back to me!”

Silence. The only sound was her voice echoing through the night, desperate and breaking.

A gust of cold wind swept past, and terror crept up her limbs like icy vines.

Her Layla–gone.

It felt like her heart had been crushed in a fist and torn out, still bleeding.

Back at the hotel entrance, some of the hotel staff who had been chasing her paused. They exchanged uncertain glances. suddenly unsure. Something felt off. Even though she was screaming like her soul had been ripped in two, none of them moved a muscle.

Tess collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest, the pain so sharp it felt like a knife had been driven straight into her.

Suddenly, a beam of headlights pierced the dark.

A muscular man stepped out of the car, startled by the sight of the woman sprawled in agony on the pavement. “You …

His voice faltered as he cautiously stepped closer. When he saw how pale her face was, his heart gave a frightened jolt.
