After Raymond hung up, he didn’t wait idly to receive information from Lucas. He hacked all the surveillance cameras in the club with his phone, looking for clues. By now, all those female escorts had been sent away by Nicholas. The room was filled with only Nicholas, Raymond, Ria and Jayden.
Nicholas was also working with his phone not sitting idly. As Jayden embraces Ria as they sit on a sofa, he keeps on reassuring her that Lina would be fine. He was also making one call after another calling his underlings to find out Lina’s location. One thing is clear, she had been kidnapped, and she would have been taken out of the clubhouse.

Mira, who had prepared everything watches as Mr. Vic carried the unconscious Lina out of the clubhouse, placing her into an old truck. Mira smiled happily knowing a part of their plan had been carried out successfully.
Mr. Vic’s grunting efforts finally yielded, as he managed to shove Lina’s limp body into the trunk. He slammed the lid shut, panting heavily.
“Make sure she’s secure,” Mira instructed, her eyes scanning the deserted parking lot.
Mr. Vic nodded, tightening the ropes around Lina’s wrists and ankles. “She’s not going anywhere.”
Mira handed him a cloth. “Gag her, just in case.” After all was done, Mr. Vic straightened up his bent back, still panting. “I can’t carry out our main plan here.”
“I know.” Mira smiled, handing him the trunk key. “I want a clean job, no traces must be left.” She warned one more time. Mr Vic chuckled. “Trust me, I will do a perfect job this time.”
Mr. Vic slid into the driver’s seat, starting the engine with a rumble. Mira nodded in approval. She brought out her phone to make a call, before turning to disappear into the night.
As the car pulled out of the parking lot, Lina’s muffled cries echoed within the trunk. Mr. Vic’s chuckle grew louder, mingling with the sound of the engine.
He navigated through the dark streets, the city lights blurring together. The trunk’s darkness seemed to swallow her cries.
Suddenly, Mr. Vic’s phone rang, shrill in the silence. He answered, his voice low.
“Yes?, is everything ready?”
“Vic, it’s done,” a gravelly voice said. I’ve cleared our usual hideout. You can bring whoever you wants to deal with here.”
Mr. Vic’s smile spread wide. “Excellent. I will be there soon, wait for me. He sounded very happy, not knowing the consequences of his actions.
Twenty minutes had passed since Lina’s disappearance. As everyone was looking for her whereabouts, Lucas’ call came in.
“Speak,” Raymond sounded impatient.
“Sir,” Lucas began. “Madam was taken away in an old trunk ten minutes ago by that man who tried to ruin her innocence that night.
Raymond hand clenched into a fist, showing how mad he was. “Haven’t I told you to deal with that motherfucker? What on earth is he still doing around Lina.” Knowing this isn’t the right time to discuss this, all that was important now is to find his darling wife. “Send me all the details of that car, and whatever it is you found about this case.” After saying that, he hung up.
He look up, his eyes meeting with Jayden’s own midair. They understand each other immediately. Jayden brings out his phone as he makes some calls. “Track this trunk immediately.” He told his subordinate. They all stood up together as they made their way outside the clubhouse.
Jayden carried the weak Ria in a bridal style. She was on the verge of collapsing, but she promised herself to hold on until they find Lina.
Raymond and Nicholas took a car, while jayden and Ria took another one as they drove out of the parking lot hurriedly. By now, they have gotten information that Lina had been taken to a deserted warehouse.
The two cars sped through the night, racing against time. Ria’s eyes fluttered, exhaustion threatening to overwhelm her. Jayden’s grip tightened, holding her secure with one hand, using the other one to drive.
“We’ll find Lina,” he whispered, his voice steady. Ria just nodded her head, her weak gaze focused on the road.
Raymond’s eyes narrowed, focused on the GPS coordinates Lucas provided. “The warehouse is ten minutes away.”
Nicholas’s voice came from the passenger seat. “I’ve hacked the warehouse’s nearest security cameras. We’ll have visual confirmation soon.”
As they approached the warehouse, a chill ran down Ria’s spine. “What if… what if we’re too late?” Jayden’s expression remained resolute. “We won’t be, trust me.” He is sure because some of his subordinates have already surrounded the said warehouse.
While inside the warehouse, Lina was placed on a tattered looking bed. The restraint on her hands, legs, and mouth is gone. She was still unconscious. The fat Mr. Vic stared at her beautiful face with lust vivid in his eyes. He stroked her face with his fingers, imagining how Lina would taste under him, as she begged him for mercy. He was so immersed in his imagination, not knowing he was about to do what he would regret forever in his life.
“Hurry up Vicky, I’m having a bad feeling on this job. Are you sure this chick doesn’t have any powerful backing?” The man who called Mr. Vic in the trunk earlier spoke up, fear evident in his voice.
Mr. Vic snapped out of what he was doing. He stood up facing his scared partner. “I’m not that stupid to kidnap someone who has a power backing. I found out everything before doing this job.
And by the way, the last time my head was almost smashed opened,” Mr. Vic gazed ferociously at Lina who was laying on her back on the bed, “she was the one that did that to me. This is my opportunity to revenge.” He laugh out like a maniac.
Lina, who was laying on the tattered looking bed, suddenly opened her eyes. Not knowing she was in danger, she tried making a sound, and getting up from the bed, when she heard the men voices.
She shut her eyes back, after knowing she was in danger, and might likely have been kidnapped. She remembered all that happened earlier. Her head still hurt from all those banging earlier. She endured the pain as she listened to their conversation.
Mr. Vic partner was surprised at his friend confession. “What, so it was this bitch that did that to you? No matter what, she must be dealt with. And by the way, how did you kidnapped her? I’m sure you didn’t do this alone.
This was what Lina wanted to hear the most. Who was this man’s partner? “Mr. Vic chuckled. It’s her sister that helped me. She even paid me for the job. I’m just using a stone to kill two birds, Hahahaha.” mr. Vic laughed.
Lina gritted her teeth. Who else would schemed against her if not her good sister, Mira. “If I can escape this alive, I won’t let her off.” Lina promised herself.
As Raymond’s team reached the abandoned warehouse, they heard a sound of a hard object hitting someone. Ria and Raymond froze before rushing forward as they both shouted, “Linaaaaa.”
