Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 15

At the same time, Elysia had been whisked back to her new home by her three little heroes.

Just a short while ago, after the boys had finished their evening routine, they noticed she was missing and that the front door was ajar, which worried them sick.

Elliot checked the security cameras and discovered she had been abducted. Without wasting a second, he set out on a rescue mission.

Elysia was still unaware that it was her three sons who had rescued her, and her heart was still racing from the ordeal.

When the alarm sounded, she had dashed to the door. To her surprise, it swung open, and taking the chance, she bolted downstairs, only to be greeted by the sight of her boys.

The family of four quickly hailed a cab and headed home.

Once settled, Elysia took a deep breath and asked them, “How on earth did you three just happen to show up there?”

Elliot spoke up, “We realized you weren’t back and the landlady downstairs mentioned you’d been taken. We tracked your location and just as we got there, you came downstairs. What exactly happened, Mom?”

Evan blinked innocently, “Was it that jerk and his girlfriend who kidnapped you?”
