The Divorce Prescription

Adam answered the call, and a rough male voice came through. "Mr. Alvarez, good evening."

Adam held the phone, his face unreadable. "Who are you?"

"Mr. Alvarez, my identity doesn't matter. All you need to know is that the person you're looking for is with me."

Lucy's eyes widened in alarm. "He's the one who took Carly! Mr. Alvarez, we have to save her!"

Adam's tone remained cold. "Carly is with you?"

"That's right. Here, I'll let her talk to you."

A moment later, Carly's voice came through, panicked and desperate. "Adam, help me! Please! I'm so scared!"

Adam's lips pressed into a thin, icy line. "What do you want?"

"Mr. Alvarez, I want money. Get one billion dollars ready immediately."

Adam let out a short, mocking laugh. "You kidnapped someone and are now extorting me for one billion? That's more than enough to lock you away for life. You'll never see the outside world again."

The man on the other end of the line wasn't the least bit intimidated. "Mr. Alvarez, don't try to scare me. I wasn't raised to be afraid of threats. Is one billion dollars too much for one person's life? What if I make it two?"

A sharp glint flashed through Adam's eyes. "Two people?"
