âIâLL do whatever you say,â I said to Marley immediately.
âBut Leonel better not touch my daughter!â
âOf course.
â
I could feel Marley laughing smugly from the other end of the Line.
After hanging up, Caleb pulled me close and comforted me gently.
âDebra, you have to calm down first.
We canât afford to be impulsive.
â
He rubbed my cold hands, trying to warm them.
But I coldly withdrew my hands from his.
âCaleb, didnât you hear her? Leonel has Elena.
Leonel is a cruel man.
I
canât imagine what heâll do to Elena.
How the hell can I calm down?â
âI know,â Caleb sighed helplessly, reaching out to cup my cheeks.
âListen to me, Debra.
Marley wouldnât just ask for Colin.
She must be plotting something with Adam.
â
âWhatâre you trying to say? Just spit it out!â I said agitatedly.
âMy guess is that Marley and Adam will make it Look like you kidnapped
Colin, so theyâll make a public spectacle of it.
Adam needs to punish you and warn the other residents of Roz Town to solidify his rule.
Only in this way can he sell the town.
So we canât just give Colin to them.
Heâs our only trump card right now.
â
Seeing the calm expression on Calebâs face, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach.
âCaleb, are you even thinking about Elena? Whatâll happen to her if we donât do as Marley asks?â
Before he could answer me, I sobbed.

âLet me tell you-Leonel wilt destroy Elena! He has never been merciful, and he hates me.
If we donât give Collin up, Elena wonât come home in one piece!â
âDebra, calm down and Listen to me.
If you give Marley what she wants, they might not let both you and Elena go!â
I smiled bitterly.
âFine, I donât need your help.
My daughterâs life is at stake, and Iâm not taking any risks.
Even if thereâs only the faintest possibility of her safe return, Iâm going to go for it.
â
Caleb ran his fingers through his hair helplessly.
âDonât be so impulsive, Debra.
Youâll only fall into their trap.
