william’s expression turned cold. “Don’t blame me for what’ll happen next.”
He then raised his hand, and two men dressed in black appeared out of nowhere.
Celeste panicked. She tried to close the door, but the two men forced it open and grabbed her by the arms and held her tight.
Angry and scared, Celeste shouted, “William, what the hell are you doing?”
William calmly said, “I told you, Celeste. I’m offering you a new job, a new life. Come back with me, and nothing bad will happen.”
“You’re crazy!” Celeste yelled. But before she could say any more, William interrupted, “Knock her out.” After all, it was late, and he couldn’t risk neighbors hearing the commotion.

He was carrying someone and holding her like she was really precious.
Even from a distance, Stacy could tell that it was Celeste.
Seeing Celeste in William’s arms made Stacy’s blood run cold. Her anger flared up, and she threw open the car door, ready to confront them
But before she could get out, a shiny black Maybach drove up and blocked her way.
Stacy’s frustration grew, but before she could do anything, the door of the Maybach opened, and a tall, powerful man stepped out.
Even in the dark, he looked cold and commanding.
Stacy recognized him immediately–it was the same man who had defended Celeste in the restaurant a few days ago.
