Chapter 749
Antonio did not move. Neither did Cynthia.The voice outside the reinforced safe-room door came again.“Antonio, open the door.”Cynthia tightened her arms around the baby.Antonio stared at the security panel beside the door.He knew that voice.He had heard it countless times when he was a child.At family dinners.At business meetings.At his father's estate.Even during the darkest years after his father's death.But that was precisely what frightened him.The person standing outside was someone who had been part of his life for decades.Someone who knew the Morris family.Someone who knew this house.Someone who knew enough about the security system to reach the safe room.Antonio slowly raised one finger to his lips.Cynthia nodded.He stepped toward the panel and pressed the communication button.“Identify yourself.”Silence.Then the voice answered.“You already know who I am.”Antonio's jaw tightened.“Say your name.”A low sigh came from the other side.“It's Richard.”Cynth

Antonio remained completely still.The phone was pressed against his ear.“Antonio…”The voice came again.He knew it.There was no mistaking it.His eyes slowly moved across the nursery.Cynthia stood beside the crib, holding their sleeping son.Raymond had been in the doorway only moments earlier.But now he was gone.Antonio's heart began pounding.“Who are you?”The voice gave a quiet laugh.“You know who I am.”Antonio's eyes narrowed.“Where are you?”“Closer than you think.”Antonio looked at Cynthia.She immediately understood that something was wrong.“Antonio?”He raised one finger, telling her to remain silent.The voice continued.“You've been asking the wrong questions.”Antonio's grip tightened around the phone.“Where is Raymond?”Silence.Then the caller laughed.“Why are you asking about Raymond?”Antonio's expression changed.“Because he was standing here.”“And now?”“He's gone.”“Exactly.”Antonio immediately stepped between Cynthia and the nursery door.“Stay behi

Antonio returned home just before dawn.For the first time in hours, Cynthia was holding their son again.The baby was asleep against her chest, completely unaware of the chaos that had surrounded him.Antonio stood beside them, watching quietly.He should have felt relieved.His son was home.Cynthia was safe.Marcus had failed to keep the child.Yet Antonio could not relax.The video kept replaying in his mind.Cedric standing beside Marcus.Elaine.Michael.And Marcus's words.Your uncle has been hiding something from you for years.Antonio had trusted Cedric.He had defended him when others questioned his decisions.Even when Cedric had pressured him into marrying Elaine, Antonio had blamed circumstances rather than believing his uncle had deliberately wanted to hurt him.But now there were questions he could not ignore.Why had Cedric become ill at that particular time?Why had he left the country?Why had Marcus appeared after Cedric returned?And why had Marcus specifically cho

Antonio's face became expressionless.“The nurse's name.”Raymond immediately checked the security records.“Lydia Hart.”Antonio repeated the name quietly.“Lydia Hart.”Cynthia shook her head.“I remember the agency introducing her. She seemed polite. She was very experienced with newborns.”“How long had she worked with the agency?” Antonio asked.“According to her documents, six years.”Raymond's fingers moved across his phone.“Sir, there is a problem.”“What?”“The agency says they have no record of her.”Cynthia stared at him.“What?”Raymond looked up.“The identification documents she submitted were false.”Antonio closed his eyes briefly.Marcus had placed a stranger inside his home.And that stranger had been alone with his son.“Find her,” he said.“We're already trying.”“No.”Antonio's voice hardened.“Find her now.”Raymond nodded.“Yes, sir.”Antonio turned toward Cynthia.“Do you remember anything unusual about her?”Cynthia shook her head.“She was always quiet.”“Di

The convoy moved through the night with its lights low. Antonio sat in the front passenger seat while Cynthia remained beside him. Raymond followed closely behind in another vehicle with the security team. Neither Antonio nor Cynthia spoke much. The sound of the baby's cry from the phone call kept replaying in their minds. Cynthia held her hands tightly together. “Do you think that was really him?” Antonio looked at her. “I don't know.” “But you heard him.” “I heard a baby crying.” Cynthia swallowed. “I need to see him.” “You will.” Antonio reached for her hand. “I promise.” His phone vibrated. A message appeared from the investigator. Daniel is still at Marielle's house. Two other men are with him. Antonio immediately called Raymond. “Did you get that?” “Yes.” “Do not approach until I give the order.” “Understood.” Antonio stared ahead. The closer they got to Marielle's house, the more uneasy he became. Something was wrong. Marcus had deliberately told them t

Antonio did not sleep that night.Neither did Cynthia.The mansion had been transformed into a fortress within minutes. Every entrance was secured, additional officers were stationed around the property, and the nursery was moved to a protected room deeper inside the house.But none of that could erase the fact that their son was gone.Cynthia sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the empty space where the baby normally slept.Antonio stood by the window, studying the address Marcus had sent.Midnight.Come alone.It was exactly the kind of trap a man like Marcus would set.But Antonio had no intention of walking into it blindly.His phone rang.It was Raymond.“Sir, we found Michael.”Antonio immediately turned.“Where?”“At a private clinic.”“Is he alive?”“Yes.”Antonio released a breath.“What happened?”“He was attacked. He has a head injury, but the doctors say he should recover.”“Can he speak?”“Not yet.”Antonio looked at Cynthia.“Did you find anything else?”“Yes, sir.”R
