Shocked and alarmed, I hurriedly intervened, urgently exclaiming,
âStop! Donât be foolish!â
Debraâs POV:
I developed a headache.
Calebâs tone mirrored Elenaâs.
It was evident that both of them possessed strong-willed personalities.
âCaleb, please refrain from creating unnecessary problems, alright?â A sense of helplessness and anger welled up within me.
âI donât have the luxury to engage in games with you at the moment.
Luca may have been kidnapped, and Iâm occupied with searching for him.
Please refrain from causing further complications, alright?â
âLuca has gone missing?â Calebâs tone turned serious.
âWhy didnât you inform me about something so serious? Debra, please donât do anything risky.
Iâll come over immediately!â
âYouâre not completely recovered yet.
You donât need toâ¦â
I began to say, but he abruptly ended the call before I could finish my sentence.
This man seemed completely unresponsive to othersâ attempts at persuasion.

I could only seek solace within myself, finding comfort in my own thoughts.
I reminded myself not to dwell on his actions and took solace in the belief that we would have a better chance of finding Luca quickly if more people joined in the search.
Considering the presence of numerous police officers at the scene, I reassured myself that Caleb would be safe.
Upon exiting the vehicle, the undercover police officers and I initiated a search in the vicinity of the street where Luca was Last spotted.
However, the street was adjacent to an amusement park bustling with numerous children.
This made the task of locating Luca considerably challenging.
To enhance our search efficiency, the police officers and
I had no choice but to split up and cover different areas.
The amusement park was vast, and as I was preparing to meticulously search through each entertainment attraction without overlooking anything, I received a call from Zoe.
âRiley and I have come to an agreement.
You have only two hours.
â
âTwo hours? Thatâs too short,â I exclaimed, gazing at the sky in frustration.
âNightfall is approaching rapidly.
The Limited Lighting in the amusement park wonât illuminate every corner, making the search even more challenging.
Two hours simply isnât enough.
â
Zoeâs tone turned cold as she responded, âThis is the maximum amount of time I can keep this hidden from Adam.
If Luca isnât found before it gets dark, the truth will be revealed.
Adam called me just now to probe, and I suspect heâs already starting to suspect something.
Sooner or later, he will find out.
â
Anxiety coursed through me, yet I couldnât deny the truth in Zoeâs words.
Adamâs sharp instincts made it incredibly challenging to conceal the situation from him until nightfall.
âAlright, thank you for your assistance.
Iâll do everything in my power to locate Luca.
â
Following a brief moment of silence, Zoe responded with a curt remark before abruptly ending the call.
As I gazed upon the bustling crowd of children, a sense of unease washed over me, as if an unsettling feeling lingered in the air.
