"Are you Casper's wife? You better hurry and bring the cash to free someone. Show up late, and they might not be all in one piece."

The voice was cold and threatening, sending a shiver down her spine.

She was completely bewildered. Just as she was about to ask questions, Caroline's familiar voice cut through the chaos from the other end, "Why are you calling her?

Dillon, catching the tense exchange from Eliza's phone, felt his own anxiety spike, his brows knitting with concern. "What's going on?"

"Let me make this clear, no tricks. Debts need paying, plain and simple. $300,000, and you've got two hours."
