The real destination lay beyond this forest–a second stretch of woods where, back in the day, there was an abandoned factory.

Charles’s helicopter circled overhead, but thanks to the thick canopy and the darkness of night, there was no way to spot the car below.

Charles sat in the car, with Renee sobbing uncontrollably beside him.

“It’s all because of that bitch! I won’t let her get away with this! Charles, please, just divorce her! Just do it!” she wailed.

‘She’s so noisy.’ Charles thought, his tone airy and indifferent as he snapped, “Shut up.”

He turned to Jack, his voice flat. “Take her to get bandaged. Stop the bleeding.”

Jack wasted no time getting Renee into another car and speeding her off to the hospital, the severed finger thrown into a bag with them–hoping the docs might be able to reattach it.

Pressing his fingers to his temple, Charles calmly radioed the helicopter team to send in more reinforcements.

These people came seriously prepared–even the helicopter couldn’t catch them. This was no ordinary kidnapping crew.

When Yolanda was taken to the destination, she noticed the men in the back had all swallowed something- who knew what kind of drugs those were? But she knew one thing for sure: tonight, she’d have to fend for herself.

She didn’t get

what kind of beef these guys had with Ian. Still, one thing she was sure of–she had never seen who Ian really was.

‘I’d never truly understood what Ian was like,‘ Yolanda thought, her mind racing.

In the beginning, when they’d first started out, he’d always held himself back, completely innocent when it came to anything intimate.

But then, she became so straightforward, almost overwhelming–even a bit possessive, if she was being honest.

But just now, he’d been so cold, so distant.

He was a walking contradiction, like every side of him was just an act.

Oh, right. She’d almost forgotten–she was born to be an actress, after all.

She scoffed at herself internally. ‘Yolanda, how did you forget something this important?‘

Ian’s acting skills could put most of today’s so–called “method actors” to shame.
