âWell done, Elena! Youâve been such a good girl,â I commended, a hint of pride in my voice.
Debra shot me a disapproving Look, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.
âWhat are you saying? Are you suggesting that if she encounters a kidnapper in the future and they ask her to keep it a secret, she should comply? Do you think itâs praiseworthy for her to keep such dangerous secrets?â
Instantly, my demeanor shifted to one of seriousness.

âNo kidnapper will ever lay a hand on my daughter.
If anyone dares to try, IâLL give them a swift knock on the head.
â
Elena couldnât help but giggle, her laughter filling the air, momentarily breaking the tension
Just then, plainclothes police officers approached, escorting Luca
His head hung low, his expression one of dejection
But my sympathy for him had vanished completely.
This troublemaker had led my daughter astray, daring to take her to the amusement park without permission.
Despite his young age, he needed to learn a valuable lesson; otherwise, he would continue down a path of mischief.
As Luca stood before me, I seized him without hesitation, gripping him tightly.
Anger surged within me as I interrogated him with fervor,
âLuca, youâre a man.
It might be forgivable if you ran away from home on your own, but why did you abduct a Little girl?â

Lucaâs head shot up, fear etched across his face.
He was quick to defend himself, his words filled with anxiety.
âI didnât abduct Elena.
I only wanted to play with her.
Please, donât misunderstand!â
Debraâs POV:
Luca bit his lip, clearly on edge.
I swiftly stepped in, assuming the role of protector, and offered him reassurance.
âDonât worry, Luca.
Caleb was just joking.
You donât need to take his words to heart.
â
Caleb, however, stood his ground, delivering a blunt retort.
âI wasnât joking.
Elena, itâs best not to play with Luca, or he might Lead you astray.
â
I was left dumbfounded.
Why was Caleb jumping to conclusions?
Luca frowned, and he was on the verge of tears as he listened to
Calebâs words.
Moving swiftly, he approached Elena and offered a heartfelt apology.
âElena, Iâm truly sorry.
It was my mistake.
I shouldnât have taken you out without your motherâs permission.
I promise I wonât do it again.
