james had rushed over by private jet, arriving just as the police were walking out of the Xander family

residence.

The location tracker on his phone pointed to the same yard.

Seeing the officers come out, he assumed Lily had been rescued. He rushed forward, ready to pull her into his arms.

He missed her so much.

It hadn’t even been a full day since they were apart, yet it felt like they’d been separated for lifetimes.

Even though he knew her heart belonged to Jackson, he still wanted to hold her with everything he had.

But he didn’t see Lily.

“She’s not inside?” James’s voice trembled uncontrollably.

“Mr. Luke, we’ve searched thoroughly. Ms. Lily isn’t in this house. The GPS might not be perfectly accurate–we’ll check the nearby residences next.”

As the officer spoke, a bloody red haze crept into James’s dark eyes.

In that moment, dozens of nearly hopeless thoughts rushed through his mind.

The tracking device hidden in Lily’s watch was extremely precise. There was no way it could be that far off.

If the police hadn’t found Lily inside, there were only two possibilities–either her watch had been removed, or her body was no longer whole enough to be recognized.

Neither was something he could accept.

Overwhelmed with pain and dread, he nearly dropped his phone.

He forced himself to calm down and strode quickly into the courtyard. “You only searched the main floor, right?”

When the officer nodded, he continued, “There might be a basement underneath…” She’s definitely hidden in the basement!”

James!

Lily couldn’t believe it–she could still hear James’s voice.

That voice, so achingly familiar, brought tears streaming down her face.

Just moments ago, when the police left, she’d truly given up hope.

She thought she was destined to die miserably in this hellhole, her death never explained. She hadn’t expected James to come.

And now he was guessing she was trapped in the basement–that thought sparked a flood of hope.

Jerry still had a firm grip over her mouth, keeping her from making a sound. All she could do was scream over and over in her heart:

James, I’m in the basement! Please, save me!

“Ha!”

Jerry sneered and spat on the floor, his voice cold and demonic. “You’re hoping they’ll find you, huh? Too bad. I designed the basement entrance myself. No one outside will ever find it.”

Ben pressed a hand to his wound, his twisted face filled with malice and smug ease.

Clearly, neither of them was the least bit worried about James and the others getting close.

Seeing how confident they looked, Lily’s heart–which had just started to hope again–was once more drowned in fear and despair.

Was she really going to be destroyed by these two monsters even if James had come?

No!

James will find me. He has to!

James, along with Ashton and the others, had searched the entire property.

They found no sign of Lily. Not a single clue. And no entrance to any basement.

“Mr. Luke, there really might not be a basement here. Should we search elsewhere?”

After the officer spoke, Ashton added, “Boss, maybe Ms. Ginger really isn’t here. She-”

“She is,” James said firmly. –

If the watch had been forcibly removed, they should’ve at least found it somewhere in the yard.

And if she’d been killed and dismembered, there should’ve been traces of that.

But the entire property above ground was clean. No suspicious signs. That left only one explanation: the watch was in the basement.
