Hannah Stefan’s POV“What happened to them? How was my son?” my father asked with a worried look on his face. His brow was furrowed and his eyes looked tense.“Calm down, sir. I’ll explain. So, they put the young master into a black van by force. I knew that from the testimony of the teacher who cooperated with the kidnappers. However, even the teacher didn’t know the number of their accomplices in the van. While on the way to the villa in the area around the hill, the car they were traveling in had an accident. The car rolled over twice and the young master was thrown out and unconscious. However, when the police arrived at the scene of the crime after receiving a report from a driver who was passing through the area, they strangely found only an empty, wrecked van. With no passengers and no belongings inside. And the young master was nowhere to be found, leaving the police investigation at a dead end. Unfortunately, there was no CCTV around the area,” Robert replied.Robert reached
Hannah’s POV“Is the place we’re going still far away?” I asked Robert.With his eyes straight ahead and his hands controlling the steering wheel, Robert answered calmly, “No, we’ll be there soon.”“My brother and I were not far apart. But why did he disappear for twenty years?”“Because your brother lost his memory and is blind. If he was in good health or only slightly injured, he would most likely be able to return home because your brother is a smart boy. Your father was very proud of him and had high hopes for him. Therefore, when your brother disappeared, and the police lost track of him, your father was depressed, as was your mother. What we need to find out now is who ordered the group of criminals to kidnap your brother and what was their purpose. It’s still a mystery and very difficult to unravel because the police and I lost track of the kidnappers,” Robert replied.I let out a long breath and tried to remember my childhood. Could it be that there was a piece of memory from
Lizzy’s POV“We’ll all be waiting for you. What do you want to eat for dinner?”“Whatever you cook, I’ll eat it. I miss Anya and Harry. All this time, I can only see them through photos and video calls. I’ve bought a lot of things for you guys. It feels so good,” Jason replied happily.“Finally, we can reunite after a few months apart. Take care and love you.”“Love you too. Kiss Anya and Harry for me,” Jason replied.“Ok.”It felt like the flower field in my heart was blooming. There were no words to describe the happiness I felt. After Jason hung up the phone, I immediately cheered like a child who had got a gift that she had long dreamed of. That was me at that moment.The loneliness that I had been feeling for a long time was finally ending. The long and chilly nights would soon become warm. Jason and I would share a bed again. I wished the time would run faster until nightfall and we could see Jason at the doorstep of this house.I had to wait patiently while preparing everything
Lizzy’s POV“Argh, Lizzy,” Mom yelled. Without realizing it, I fell to the floor. My body felt weak and my mind was in chaos. My vision became blurry. The surrounding voices sounded smaller.I could hear Mia and Mom screaming and Anya crying. But as time went on, their voices faded away and it felt like something was pulling me into a bottomless, yet comforting darkness.Jason, why did you leave us? Was our destiny just for a moment? We had just gotten married and built our little family, yet you left us.God, was this fair to me? Why did you take Jason away from me? Couldn’t you have let him live longer with me? Grow old with me until death do us part. How would I carry on without him? How do I raise my two children without him?Why did this darkness make me comfortable? The real world scared me. I knew I had been cowardly in not daring to face reality. However, I didn’t know how to move on without Jason. Anya was old enough to know everything that happened to her father. Why did fat
Jason’s POV“Argh, it hurts!” The more I tried to remember events similar to the one that happened to me right now, the more my head hurt. It hurt like being stabbed by thousands of needles.I couldn’t take it anymore. Leo, help me!My vision blurred, and it felt like the surrounding sounds were getting smaller and then gone. Maybe I was asleep. Then I heard Leo’s voice calling my name. He asked me to open my eyes. But, it was so hard to open my eyes.Oh God, what the hell was going on with me?“Sir, sir. Open your eyes, please,” Leo yelled.“Jason, Jason! Lay him on the bed. Hurry,” Andy, my best friend, yelled.I could hear their voices even though I still couldn’t open my eyes. Andy examined my body, and I heard him let out a long breath.“What exactly happened to him? Did he get hurt in the chase?” Leo asked.“How exactly did you get away from those pursuing people? Did they fire a gun or some other sharp weapon? However, I saw no blood spots or wounds on Jason’s body. Could it be
Jason’s POV“Of course not. Say it,” Andy and Leo replied simultaneously.“Leo, please investigate my background. Go to the Mother’s Love Orphanage and see the head of the orphanage there. If she refuses to give you any information, I’ll go there myself. And Andy, looks like the person after my life is the same person who kidnapped me twenty years ago. I don’t know who he is or the motive, but I suspect it’s all connected. Perhaps that person has learned my true identity. I’ll write a will. If anything happens to me, please protect my family, and give the will to Lizzy.”“What are you saying? You will live no matter what happens. We are going to find that person and catch the real culprit. Leave it to me,” Andy replied.“Thanks for your help. Leo, when do you think is the best time for us to return to Maldiva?” I asked.“There’s no problem if we return now to Maldiva. The sooner the better, before the furor gets even bigger because of the news about you having a plane crash. If you wa
Jason’s POV“Yes, please,” he said, adjusting his glasses.It turned out that Minister Vladimir sent me some documents, namely a birth certificate, family photos, and several sheets of reports on the kidnapping incident twenty years ago.Although I already knew about my identity, the documents sent by Minister Vladimir still surprised me. And what caught my eye was the photo of a girl standing next to me. Maybe she was my younger sister.So, this is the face of my actual family. Everything was finally revealed after twenty years.What was the life of my actual family like? What were their characters? There were many things that I still couldn’t remember clearly.After reading and observing all the documents, I put them back in the envelope and asked Leo to keep them in a safe place.“May I know your response, Sir Jason?” the assistant asked.“I already knew about all those things, but still the documents could make me surprised and wonder about some things. How are Minister Vladimir a
Vladimir Stefan’s POV“Yes, sir,” Robert replied confidently.I put the sheet of paper containing information about Lizzy onto the table, then exhaled a long breath.“So, she has no clear identity. Can you find her family? Or was she an abandoned child born out of wedlock?”“I’ve tried to investigate her family’s origins, but it all stopped the night a young woman came and left the child to the head of the orphanage. The young woman introduced herself as Clara. However, from the orphanage head’s observations, I got some additional information. On that night, the orphanage head saw her get into the car of a middle-aged man. Before getting in, she kissed the man on the lips, so it was likely that the man was her boyfriend. Then, in terms of appearance, the young woman looked striking and sexy. Her clothes are skimpy and sexy. Most likely she works in a bar. That’s the only information I have,” Robert replied.I poured wine into two empty glasses and gave one to Robert. Then, I walked to
