Her Return, His Regret by Natie

"What do you mean she's gone?" Jason asked, confusion creasing his eyebrows.

"There's a possibility of kidnapping," Adan answered since Ryan was ignoring Jason. "She's not in the restroom and her phone was found on the floor."

Jason's furrowed eyebrows tightened and worry crept into him. He remarked, "That's not possible. Lora has security always following her around. They are disguised most of the time but they are there to protect her in case of anything." "That wouldn't matter if a criminal is determined to kidnap someone," Adan said just as Ryan stormed out of the restroom.

"Ryan! Where are you going?" Adan called after his friend worriedly.

"To check the CCTV," Ryan replied through gritted teeth, his wounded fist leaving a trail of blood in his wake.

They all went to the CCTV room while everyone in the hall wondered what was happening. Where did Ryan run off to and what about the engagement?

Ivy clenched the arms of her wheelchair tightly as she endured the looks of pity from the guests. How could Ryan do this to her?

Meanwhile, in the CCTV room, the manager of the hotel came forward and Ryan yelled, "How's the security in this place? Is this how you run this place? Someone went missing! I need to find her, now!"

The manager trembled when he was being faced with three imposing figures. He stammered, "I-I'm sorry. We had no idea such a thing would happen on your engagement, Mr Kingsley," the manager said and helped them to pull out the footage. Coincidentally, the cameras along the hallway near the restrooms were conveniently not working.

Ryan's jaw tightened, his stomach churning with worry. He ordered, "Check the cameras at the back. If they sneaked her away, they could have used the backdoor."

The manager quickly pulled out the footage and after rewinding several times, they finally saw someone carrying a woman out and placing her into a car.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and instructed, "I need you to zoom in and get the license plate."

Taking out his phone, he called his assistant, Lawrence Scott.
