Bowman said, “I'll utilize all the available officers and we'll locate Ms. Ross as soon as possible.”

“| don’t want it as soon as possible, | want it now!” Odell. shouted madly.

Bowman immediately said, “Alright sir, I’ll contact you once we find her.”

The call ended.

Cliff drove the car around. When Odell got in, he asked in a small voice, “Sir, are we going to the station or back to the

company?”

Odell shut his eyes to ease the frustration. He said gruffly, “Back to the company.”

Sylvia was taken away in front of the company. He wanted to go back to see if there were any clues left behind.

“Yes, sir.”

When Sylvia opened her eyes, she saw sunlight shining on her face through the refraction on the window.

She was on a huge bed with clean sheets.

She got out of bed and tried to open the door, but it was locked.

The handle did not even budge.

She went to the window and realized it was sealed shut as well.

She looked outside and saw a field of lush. Trees and plants were growing vibrantly before her.

However, the lush field scared her.

She realized she was in Thomas’ manor in the suburbs.

Back then when she was lied to, she brought Isabel, Liam, and Aunt Tonya to this place before and even stayed for a period of

time.

If she was correct, the room that she was in currently was Thomas’ room back then.

She reached out to her pockets and found nothing.

Everything was taken away.

“Are you looking for your phone?”

The man’s rich and pleasant voice sounded.

Sylvia squealed out of shock. She looked to the corner of the room and saw Thomas leaning against the wall there.

He removed his cap and changed into a loose white shirt and long pants, which complemented his fair complexion and slender

figure. He had her phone in his hand.

He had been in the room for a while but Sylvia did not notice him.

Sylvia’s face turned pale. She asked in a small voice, “Can you give me back my phone?”

Thomas grinned. “Not now.”

He pocketed her phone.

Sylvia pursed her lips.

Thomas walked over to her.

The room was spacious but it was only that big. There was nowhere for Sylvia to run or hide, so she was forced to stay still as he

approached her.

He reached out to her and wanted to stroke her face but she instinctively took a step back.

“Don’t touch me,” she said with a trembling voice.

Thomas’ hand froze for a moment before he retracted it.

“You're sweating. Is it hot?” he asked.

Sylvia clutched her hands.

She did not sweat because of the temperature but because of her nervousness.

She said, “Thomas, we agreed when we came back from Galston that as long as | can stay until New Year, you'll release Aunt

Tonya. | did it, and it’s over between us. Why did you bring me here?”

He grinned. “I promised to release Aunt Tonya but | didn’t say I’d not come back for you.”

Sylvia choked.

He might sound gentle and his soft smile seemed harmless but

she could never forget the six months she spent in Galston. She could never forget how he tossed the bloody finger in front of

her and how he locked her up in the dark room to torture her mentally

Her body shook uncontrollably. “Let me out.”

He stared at her in silence.

Sylvia looked at him. “I beg you, let me out.”

She did not want to go through the horrible days again. She just wanted to spend more time with Odell and the kids.
