Playing along with Jacob's gameWith the sound of her heels hitting the marble tiles and a serious expression on her face, Amelia walked down the lobby of her company, andthen she left the buildingWhen she finally got to the parking lot, she opened the back door of her Mercedes, entered the backseat, and shut it, staring away from the tinted windows the moment she heard all the doors lock automatically.

"Jerry, what the hell?!" Amelia said, looking intently at the reflection of a man with a mask and hat on in the rearview mirror.

"Jerry is asleep... So I will be your driver for today." A deep, dark voice came out from the driver's seat.

Before she could tell or react, the left back door unlocked, and she was about to make a run forit, but the door suddenly opened and a tall guy entered, sitting by her, then shut the door before the sound of the lock went off.

"You took care of him?" The guy behind the steering wheel asked as he started the car engine.

"Yes." The other dude said, giving Amelia a small smile.

Fear ceasing her, she felt lost for words that her lunch break had led her to getkidnapped in her own car, and her heartbeat sprinted inside of her ribcage.

The car moved forward, making her hold onto her bag, and cried out, "How much do you want?!"of disrespectful pieces of ignorant people." The guy behind the wheel snarled.

"It's always about money with you shitty rich folks... What a bunch

Frowning at how rude his tone was, Amelia scowled but suppressed her anger and mumbled, "Look-""Shut her up." The driver said.

The other guy took out a handkerchief, and before she could struggle or scream, he pressed it to hernose, knocking her off a couple of seconds later.

The concern Madam Jewel was trying to downplay slowly began to consume her when it was one o'clock and Melina hadnot picked up her phone, not answering any of her thirty missed calls.

As she was about to dial her granddaughter again, Josh stormed into the living room, walked over to the couch, and popped down on it.

Silently, she watched him run his fingers through his hair, sighing out his frustration and closing his eyes in the process, lettinghis head rest on the cushions behind him.

After waiting several moments, Madam Jewel forgot about calling Melina and asked her grandson, "What's the matter?"again.

"It's Iris," Josh sighed, rubbing his temples and closing his eyes

"Iris? What about your wife?""She left our house at ten o'clock to go on a brunch datewith her friends, but Carla and Ronal called me that she didn't reach them and her phone is suspiciously off.

"Yes,"A frown formed on Madam Jewel's face when she saw a sudden flash of frustration appear in Josh's eyes, and then her own thoughts made her face hardened.
