Nyla’s expression changed as she recognized Jordyn’s voice. “This is Nyla. I need to speak to Clark. Put him on the phone.”

A light laugh came from the other end. “Oh, Clarko? He’s in the shower right now and probably can’t take your call. If you need something, Ms. Jayston, just tell me, and I’ll pass it on.”

Nyla bit her lip, her hands clenching at her sides. “Jordyn, I’ve been kidnapped-”

Nyla knew that this was a matter of life and death. She couldn’t afford to hold a personal grudge. “I’m really kidnapped… Just tell him this-”

“If you’re really kidnapped, then go ahead and die. Without you, my baby can be legitimized, and I can be with Clark.” Jordyn’s voice was filled with malice. She hung up immediately.

Nyla’s heart sank. Fear, despair, and hopelessness overwhelmed her.
