Ethan slipped his phone away and scoffed.“Jenna,remember today.Don’t think your family backing makes you untouchable.To me,you’re nothing.”

With that,he started the SUV.It turned and roared off,kicking up dust as it sped away.

I watched them go until my strength left me.I sagged in the back seat,silent tears falling,my heart aching as if it were about to break.

The bodyguard leaned forward,worried etched on his face.“Miss…”

I forced my head up,wiped my face and cold anger instantly filled my eyes.“Notify everyone.”

My voice was raw but steady and cold.“The withdrawal was a ruse.Have the second and third teams flank the road and use every tech we have to monitor and lock onto all communications between Ethan and that man called Scarface Seven.”

“Tell the operations unit to do whatever it takes to secure my daughter within ten minutes.Then…”I paused,my gaze hard as steel.“Stop that SUV.Everyone inside must survive.”

"Yes!"the bodyguard answered with a sharp gaze.He immediately snapped on his walkie-talkie and barked orders.

I stared toward the road where Ethan had gone,my nails biting into my skin.

His car hadn’t gone far.
