When the ten minutes were up,the security room door opened.Two men in black suits walked in.They looked serious and gave a small bow.
“Miss,the car is ready.Sir ordered everything to be done as you requested.”
I stood,my legs weak but my eyes sharp.“Take me to Ethan and Natalie.Now.”
“Right away.”
In the car,I closed my eyes.My mind was a storm.I saw Emma smiling and calling me“Mom,”then crying and struggling on the screen.I could still hear Natalie’s cruel voice.I remembered Ethan’s cold,indifferent face.
The pain in my chest was so sharp I could hardly breathe.
The car stopped in front of an upscale apartment building.I recognized this place.Ethan had bought it long ago as an investment.
Back then,I thought nothing of it.Now I got it.This was where he hid his mistress.
Two bodyguards escorted me upstairs to the top floor.
From inside,I heard faint music and a woman’s laughter.I drew a deep breath and kicked the door hard.
A loud bang echoed.The door didn’t open,but the noise inside stopped at once.
“Who’s there?”Ethan’s impatient voice came from inside.
I said nothing,but I kicked once again.
