On a pitch-black night, a black SUV stopped on a remote bridge. Two men wearing black baseball caps and masks got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a sack. They tied a large stone to the top of the sack and unhesitatingly threw it into the river. The sack quickly sank to the riverbed. Countless bubbles emerged on the water surface, and then everything returned to calm.
Awakening in the cold water soaking the sack, Alexander opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were severely bloodshot due to suffocation, and his body struggled and shook continuously, attempting to free himself from the danger.
Unfortunately, the hemp rope binding him was tied too tight. No matter how he struggled, his body continued to sink rapidly. Lack of oxygen caused his face to turn liver-colored, presenting a highly distorted and painful appearance. His facial features were twisted, and his eyeballs seemed on the verge of popping out of their sockets. He look
Samantha drove aimlessly on the road.Suddenly.A slender figure flashed from the alley on the roadside.She abruptly stopped the car by the roadside, opened the door, and ran out of the car, shouting the name of Alexander in her mouth."Alexander... Alexander...!"But the alley was pitch black, with nothing in it, so quiet that you could almost hear breathing.She suddenly deflated like a balloon, slumped her shoulders, walked out of the alley in a daze, her eyes lifeless as if she had lost her light, surrounded by a gloom.It had been a day.Still no word from Alexander.She knew Alexander well, although mischievous at times, he would never do anything to make her worry.Even in the midst of sadness and sorrow, he was not a child who would leave without an explanation.
Seeing him remain silent, Samantha continued, "I'm afraid something might happen to Alexander. In the entire city, you're the only person I can turn to. Will you help me find Alexander, please?"Afraid he might refuse, Samantha tightly held his hand and pleaded, "I beg you, please help me."Justin, feeling sorry for her, embraced her again. His thick hands gently patted her back. His deep, husky voice seemed to have a magical soothing effect, calming the restless hearts."Don't worry; I will help you. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find Alexander for you."Seeing him agree, Samantha finally breathed a sigh of relief.Her tense nerves slightly relaxed.At that moment, the Maybach returned.With a 'zoom' sound, it abruptly stopped by the roadside.Before the car could fully stop, the driver's d
Her strength was not substantial, but Ethan felt an unbearable pain all over his body with each punch. Every blow seemed to weigh a ton, leaving him covered in injuries.Ethan's eyes turned bloodshot, resembling an enraged beast. He caught Samantha by the neck, pressing her against the utility pole on the roadside."Do you care about him that much? Huh?" he sneered.For Justin, she was willing to resort to violence against him? What did that make Ethan? Her casual entertainment tool?Or her means of satisfying physiological needs?In a fit of anger, Samantha spoke without restraint, "Yes, I care about him, I like him! He treats me well and can help me find Alexander. As for you? All you do is mock and ridicule me. Do I like you? I'm not a masochist, why would I like you? From start to finish, I was just playing with you, and you took it seriously? How foolish."
Suzy was constantly monitoring the situation on the Chelsea Creek side.After learning that the Steele family knew about the existence of Alexander, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.She was fully armed, wearing sunglasses, wrapping her head and neck tightly with a scarf, and putting on a tightly fitting windbreaker. She went to the agreed-upon location to meet with Tiger’s men."Alexander can't die."Tiger, the boss, holding a charming beauty in his arms, heard her words and showed no annoyance."You're telling me now that Alexander can't die? My men have already dug the pit."Suzy placed her luggage on the table, entered the password, and opened the suitcase.A full box of money appeared in Tiger's sight.Tiger's eyes lit up instantly, the impatience on his face vanished without a trace, and he smiled
After getting the stout man's approval, the slender man immediately untied Alexander. He also cared to ask, "Does it hurt? Is there any discomfort?"Alexander shook his head, sweetly saying, "Thank you, Uncle. I'm very happy that you care about me. I don't feel any pain at all."The slender man handed him the bread."Hungry, right? Have something to eat first."Alexander nodded obediently, sitting down beside him, delicately taking bites of the bread in his hands.As he ate, he suddenly burst into tears.The slender man immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"With his mouth full of bread, Alexander sobbed unclearly, "If, if you were my daddy, it would be great. Then I wouldn't be a child that nobody wants. Sob..."The slender man's heart instantly softened beyond words. He felt full of sympath
Samantha searched for a long time nearby and finally saw an abandoned warehouse.She pushed aside the waist-high weeds and approached the outside of the warehouse, crouching in the grass to assess the situation inside.Alexander, who had been hiding in the tree all along, heard the commotion below, thinking it might be the kidnappers returning. The small body lay flat on a thick branch, attentively observing every movement below.Suddenly.A familiar figure caught her eye.Alexander thought his might be seeing things, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and confirmed that it was indeed Samantha.Excitedly, Alexander called out, "Mommy...!"Hearing the voice of Alexander, Samantha thought she might be overly worried, causing her to be nervous and stiff, hesitant to make any sudden movements.Seeing that he was being ignored, t
The car doors opened one after another, and the patriarch of the Steele family, assisted by Ellena, walked over, followed by various members of the Steele family.Alexander didn't recognize them and seeing a group of strangers, instinctively shielded Samantha behind him.Suzy immediately put on a smile, greeting them one by one, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt... you’re all here.”Anna looked at her in surprise, "Why are you here?"Suzy explained, "An hour ago, I received an anonymous call saying that Alexander was kidnapped and held here. Fearing for his safety, I came immediately."The patriarch had no intention of listening to their conversation. His cloudy eyes were fixed on Alexander.The hand holding the cane almost couldn't steady itself due to excitement."Alexander? You are Alexander? Not Noah?"
Suzy stared at them in disbelief.After a brief moment of stunned silence, she reacted, rushing in front of Ethan and blocking his way with her hand."Ethan, what are you doing? Do you know that it was her who caused me and Alex to be separated for four years, and you and your son to be separated for four years? Such a woman doesn't deserve your kindness."Ethan's brows furrowed, his thin lips slightly opened, and he slowly uttered two words, "Get lost.""Ethan, I gave birth to two sons for you. Can it be that in your eyes, I'm still not as good as this woman?" Suzy couldn't accept that they were being allowed to go upstairs like this.A man and a woman alone together, who knows what might happen.A layer of hostility spread on Ethan's face, and against his extraordinarily handsome but now sinister face, he coldly commanded, "Step aside."
