Mila gently removed the hand covering her mouth, her voice soft as she
stated, “Nate, my grandparents are being held.”Nathan explained, “Lucas has been with me for years. He is skilled in
self-protection and counter-surveillance.”Confusion filled Mila’s voice. “What do you mean?”“Your grandparents have been relocated. They’re no longer at Hoffis
Manor.”Milas heart sank instantly, a heavy sorrow settling within her. First, it
was her parents, and now her grandparents. Oliver, that accursed man,
deserved every bit of hatred.”What about the others?” Mila pressed.Nathan, brimming with confidence, said, “Let’s not rush. Give it a few
more minutes.”Mila had absolute trust in Nathan. She relaxed her guard and waited
silently.With each passing minute, Nathan’s comforting scent surrounded Mila.
His warm breath brushed her cheek, his strong presence mere inches
away. His commanding and overwhelming masculinity sent shivers
down her spine.Mila asked nervously, “Nate, can you please let go of me?”After a moment’s hesitation, Nathan stepped back and freed her. They
couldn’t read each other’s expressions in the darkness, creating a
sense of awkwardness.Mila moved past Nathan, finding her way to the edge of the bed and

Sensing Nathan’s unease, Mila added, “Gary and Florence have
agreed to it.”Still, Nathan remained silent.Mila declared firmly, “As long as there’s a chance, I won’t give up on
Daniel.”Nathan responded coldly with a hum. With that, he opened the door
and left the room.As the door creaked open, Mila stood up anxiously. “Nate?”Suddenly, the room flooded with light.Mila glimpsed Nathan’s back as he descended the stairs purposefully.
Approaching the railing, she clutched it tightly and gazed downward.
The sight in the living room sent waves of shock through her.Dozens of soldiers from the military base stood in a commanding
formation, their presence oozing authority. They aimed their weapons
at a group of criminals bound together in the center.Among them, Lucas was restrained and thrown among the criminals.
Mila scanned the room anxiously, but Oliver was nowhere to be seen. A
sense of unease tightened her chest, prompting her to rush to the
adjacent room. Pushing open the door, she discovered Phoebe lying
sound asleep in bed.Worry flooded her, and she hastened over, perching on the edge of
Phoebe’s bed and gently shaking her hand. “Phoebe, wake up. Nathan
is here to rescue us.”Phoebe’s complexion paled, offering no response.Panic seized Mila as she pressed her hand against Phoebe’s forehead.
It felt cool to the touch, igniting a sense of urgency within her. “Phoebe,
please wake up! Don’t frighten me. Please, wake up.”Yet, Phoebe remained still.Mila’s heart was heavy with tension, her breaths coming in shallow
gasps. Tremors ran through her hands, and her entire body felt feeble.
She bolted out of the room, leaning over the railing, her voice trembling
as she shouted, “Nate, something’s wrong with Phoebe. Please, save
her, Nate.”Nathan turned back, and his gaze met Mila’s panicked expression. Her
pallid face mirrored her anguish.Without a word, he sprinted upstairs, with Cole following closely behind.
They burst into the room.As Nathan laid eyes on Phoebe, his expression darkened. He pressed
his fingers against her carotid artery to check for her pulse.
