Bella sat quietly in her chair with a lollipop in her hand, waiting for her mother, Celine.
Suddenly, two men in black approached. One of them clamped a hand over her mouth, silencing her before she could react.
In the next instant, they scooped her up and carried her away.
Her eyes widened in terror. She wanted to scream, to call for Celine, but with her mouth covered, not a single sound escaped.
The lollipop slipped from her fingers and hit the ground.
After that, the two men carried Bella away.
Meanwhile, Celine was on the phone. "Perry, what's going on?"
"Celine, I was rear-ended on my way to the airport. It's just a minor accident, but I might be late," Perry explained.
Celine let out a breath of relief.
Fortunately, it was just a minor accident. She had feared something worse.
"As long as you're okay. I'll delay the flight, so just get here when you can."
"Alright, Celine."
After they hung up, she turned around. "Bella, your Daddy Perry—"
Her words caught in her throat.
The chair where Bella had been sitting was empty.
Celine's pulse pounded. "Bella? Bella!"
Celine called out desperately, looking around, but Bella was nowhere in sight. Where did she go?
Then, she spotted a lollipop on the floor and quickly rushed to pick it up.
It was Bella's! Something was wrong. Bella was in danger!
…
Grace wrapped Bella in a protective embrace, her sharp gaze locking onto the two men in black.
She asked with a tone that was filled with authority, "Who are you? How dare you try to kidnap a child in broad daylight!"
The men approached with dark, menacing expressions. "Hey, old hag! I suggest you stay out of this unless you want to get yourself killed!"
The maid immediately stepped in front of Grace and Bella. "How dare you? Do you even know who you're threatening? Lay a finger on Mrs. Alvarez, and your whole family will pay the price!"
As soon as she finished speaking, one of the men struck the back of her neck with a swift chop.
Her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.
Grace was stunned. "You're attacking people in broad daylight? Do you have no fear of the law? Who sent you?"
The men said, "Enough talk, old hag. Hand over the kid if you want to stay alive!"
Terrified, Bella curled up in Grace's arms. "Grandma, please help me! I don't want to go with them!"
