That was the only way left.

Luca closed her eyes and lay down on the bed as she listened to the footsteps of the two men leaving. She did not see how many ropes he carried in his hands. However, she knew there were at least six ropes tied around her hands just from looking at the man's gestures earlier.

It had become even more difficult for her to break free now.

Luca thought she would not be able to save herself anymore. It was too difficult for her, and she did not have much energy left. She could only rest up and wait for another chance.

The next day.

Jason realized Luca did not check in at her new office. Thus, he went downstairs to look for her. It was then he found out that Luca was not in the office downstairs either.

She did not come to the office at all.

Jason knew she was not someone who would not skip work without giving notice. Hence, he called her and noticed that he could not get through to her phone.

He immediately informed Luke about this.

Luke frowned and kept silent when he heard what Jason told him.

This morning, Tommy was whining to him that Luca did not call him back after she rejected his video call request last night. She did not reply to his messages either.

Hence, the child thought she did not like him anymore and complained to him about it.

Luke took no notice as he thought Luca must be in the middle of something and that was why she did not reply to the child's messages. However, she did not ask for leave nor inform anyone that she was not coming to the office today.

Luca was fine when she left last night. Could it be that something had happened to her when she was on her way back home?

Luke rose immediately when he thought of the possibility. He said, “Call the police."

Jason was startled. "Call the police? Boss, even though I can't get through to Luca's phone, the police won't make a case out of this even if we call them. Maybe she overslept and is at home?"

What he said made sense too, but Luke was certain that Luca was not that kind of person.
