Desires Die Hard

It Must Be An Acquaintance

Paige was in the basement of the MacMillan's.

She woke up and found herself wrapped in twine. She lay on the dirty floor with duct tape on her mouth.

She was unable to cry out.

Paige struggled in terror. She had got kidnapped once before, but her father ransomed her with 5 million dollars.

She was little and didn't get hurt then.

The kidnapper released her after getting the money.

This time, she didn't know who kidnapped her or what the kidnapper wanted.

The basement was so dark that she couldn't tell where she was. Besides, it was smelly there. She felt sick.

Paige was scared and regretted getting angry with her father and brother.

I should have been more careful.

I shouldn't have let the man in.

But it's too late to regret now.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

I need to find a way out of here.

Paige calmed down and examined the basement. Unluckily, the door and windows were all locked.

She couldn't break out on her own.

The situation made her desperate. Where am I?

Does Dennis know I got kidnapped? Dad has just recovered.

If he knows, he will be worried...

Paige huddled herself on the floor and started to sob.

She wept with regret.

...

Dennis searched the hotel suite for clues.

However, he didn't find out anything. I need help.

But who can help me here?

Evan has the power to look for Paige.

But Paige has offended Anya. Will Evan be willing to help?

Dennis pondered and decided to have a try because only Evan could help him.

He called Evan and asked for Evan's help.

Evan had known that Paige was kidnapped.

He wasn't going to help. But Anya didn't want to refuse Dennis. After all, Dennis was her brother.

So, Evan promised her to help.

After hanging up the phone, Evan said with a sigh, "Paige Ford hit you. Why do you ask me to help look for her?"

"I'm not being obsequious." Anya knew Evan might think she was too forgiving. She did that for a reason. If something happened to Paige, the media would condemn the Weltons again. She didn't want to see that.

"There are two reasons. First, though she hit me, she doesn't deserve to die. Second, if she is hurt or killed, the media will dig up and know my relationship with her. The reporters may blame me, you, and your family then. I can't let this happen."

Evan hadn't thought that much. He smiled lovingly. "It's very thoughtful of you."

Anya paused and then said, "After going through so many things, I have grown up. By the way, who do you think might have kidnapped Paige?"

As a Ford, Paige is a concern. But she went back secretly.

No reporters were informed. The public couldn't know about that.

Is it someone Paige knows?

"I don't know for sure who the kidnapper is, but I think it must be an acquaintance." Most kidnappings were acquaintance kidnappings.

Anya agreed, "I guess so."
