Adam glanced at his phone-it was an unfamiliar number.

"Mr. Alvarez, I don't recognize this number. Do you know who's calling?" Leo asked.

Adam frowned. He had no idea who it could be. Without wasting any time, he answered the call.

A moment later, a familiar voice came through the receiver, clear and steady. "Hello, Mr. Alvarez, it's me-Celine."

Adam froze in place, completely caught off guard. He never expected her to be the one to call him. It had been three years since she changed her number.

He had assumed she had already boarded her flight, leaving everything behind. Yet now, here she was, calling him.

A rush of excitement surged through his chest.

He tightened his grip on the phone, his voice filled with anxiety. "Celine, have you left?"

"Mr. Alvarez, I was about to, but something's happened. Bella and Mrs. Alvarez have been kidnapped!"
