Not knowing why made everything feel even more chaotic.

The feeling was utterly helpless.

Ethan didn’t respond. His gaze settled on a spot in the room. He placed a hand gently at the back of her head, holding her close.

This quiet embrace made it feel like the world had shrunk to just the two of them–peaceful, safe, and protective.

After an unknown stretch of time, his low voice broke the silence. “I’m here, okay?”

Dawn nodded, then shook her head.

“I’m not afraid.”

Her voice was soft, but she held him tighter. “I know you’re here, so I’m not afraid.”

Since the day she married him, it felt like a layer of protection had grown over her heart. She couldn’t explain it; she only knew that with him around, everything felt solvable.

After lingering in the kitchen for a while, her mood lifted a

little.

They had dinner, showered, and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, a sudden phone ring shattered the quiet.

Dawn opened her eyes. The spot beside her was empty. Ethan wasn’t there. Her phone under the pillow kept ringing.

She grabbed her hair and sat up, answering immediately.

“Dawn!”

The woman’s voice was urgent. “Hurry, get out! Ethan’s in trouble!”

A problem had come up with an overseas project. Ethan had gone to the office late at night. By the time he finished and returned home, it was already 6 a.m.

He crept upstairs, entering the room carefully.

He froze mid–step.

Everything in the room was as it had been–but something was off.

The person who had been in the bed was gone. On the vanity, a note lay waiting. He frowned and strode over to pick it up.

Chapter 276 Dawn Is Missing

“I took her with me.” The bold, strong handwriting was unmistakably a man’s

The room showed no sign anyone had come in. Even the bed was neatly made, with only one side polled back, the triangle fold precise.

Other than the note, it looked like she had simply gotten up on her own.

Ethan ground his back teeth, crumpled the note in his hand, and tossed it into the trash

He opened his phone and dialed Dawn’s number

No answer.

He spun on his heel and strode out.

Hannah always woke early. At this hour, she had already finished tidying up and was about to go for her morning walk.

“Hannah.”

“Ethan, why are you up so early?”

Ethan didn’t have time for small talk. His voice was low and serious. “Did you hear anything strange just now? Or … did you see Dawn?”

“Huh?” Hannah froze. “It’s barely dawn. Why would Dawn be up so early?”

So she hadn’t seen anything.

Ethan didn’t say more. He walked out with long, fast strides.

“Hey

… you haven’t even said what’s going on!”

Hannah’s worry grew. She hurried after him.

At the property office, they pulled the security footage. Around 3:30 a.m., a man in black climbed over the courtyard wall. Within ten minutes, he carried Dawn out the front gate.

Judging by her state, she had been knocked out.

Hannah nearly cried. “Who… who is this? Breaking in like this to kidnap her?”

Ethan pressed his lips into a thin line, silent.

Who would do something like this?

Roxanne.

Or maybe Austin.

Or…

He closed his eyes tightly and called Tony. “Check Austin and Roxanne. Find out where they were tonight and what they were doing.”
