Chapter 166
At that moment, hearing the escalating threats and the mention of torture that Jefferson's father had just delivered with such cold conviction, Malisa felt a surge of righteous anger and defiance rise up within her despite the very real fear that was simultaneously coursing through her veins.She lifted her head and looked directly at her masked captor with eyes that blazed with fury and contempt, refusing to show the weakness or submission that he was clearly trying to intimidate out of her.“You must be absolutely joking if you think you can get away with this kind of behavior,” she said with a voice that was steady despite her racing heartbeat. “Do I honestly look like somebody that you can just lay your hands on and assault without there being serious consequences for you and everyone involved in this kidnapping?”Her tone carried both warning and challenge as she continued.“The only scenario where you might possibly escape accountability for what you're doing right now is if yo

And knowing all of this, understanding how valuable and important Raymond had become to her future plans and her own safety in an increasingly dangerous world, it would be absolutely wrong and potentially suicidal for her to start carelessly dishing out information concerning Raymond's contact details or whereabouts.She had no way of knowing what these people were planning to do to him if they managed to track him down, but given the level of rage and desperation she was witnessing in this masked man, she could easily imagine that Raymond's life would be in serious danger if she cooperated.So with all of these thoughts racing through her mind in the space of just a few seconds, she made her decision about how to respond to this impossible situation.“Well, I can confirm that I have literally met this person that you're showing me in the photograph, yes, that much is true and I won't deny it,” she said carefully, choosing each word with deliberate precision. “But the thing is, I hone

At that moment, hearing the conviction and specificity in her captor's voice and realizing that he genuinely believed he had evidence of her connection to someone, though she still had no clear idea who that might be, Malisa felt a mixture of confusion and growing irritation at the impossible situation she found herself trapped in.“Like I said before, and I'm going to say it again because apparently you weren't listening carefully enough the first time,” she replied with a tone that mixed exasperation with defiance. “I meet with many different people, so many different kinds of people in the course of my professional and personal life that it would be impossible to keep track of every single interaction.”Her voice grew stronger as she continued her explanation.“I am a senior director at Sky Bank, which means that my job requires me to meet with dozens of people every single week when it comes to business opportunities, potential clients, professional networking events, industry co

His voice became almost casual as he delivered his most chilling threat.“I don't care about any of that, and I am very, very serious about what I'm telling you right now,” he said with the calm confidence of someone who had clearly done terrible things before. “So this is your final opportunity to make the smart choice and avoid unnecessary suffering.”He straightened up and crossed his arms over his chest.“Now tell me everything you know about this person who killed my son, and more importantly, I need you to call this person immediately and convince them to come here to this location,” he demanded with renewed intensity. “If you don't cooperate fully and completely, then you are not going to leave here looking anything like the way you brought in here today.”At that moment, seeing the unmistakable look of pure hatred and murderous intent in Jefferson's father's partially visible eyes, and observing the way his entire body had become rigid with barely controlled violence and rag

“So if you choose to cooperate with me and provide the vital information I need concerning this person who has destroyed my family, then I want you to know with absolute certainty that you are going to walk out of here completely unharmed,” the masked man continued, his voice taking on what he probably thought was a reassuring tone but still carried an underlying threat. “Nobody is going to hurt you in any way, you are not going to suffer any injuries that would require medical attention or a trip to the hospital, and you will be able to return to your normal life as if this incident never happened.”He gestured with his hands in what seemed like an attempt at a calming manner.“Just talk to me honestly and openly, just give me exactly what I want and need to track down this individual, and I will make absolutely sure that our business here is concluded quickly and efficiently,” he said with growing intensity. “Nobody is going to disturb you or threaten you or your loved ones ever a

Malisa was seated uncomfortably in a hard wooden chair, her body firmly restrained and tied down to the chair with thick ropes that bit into her wrists and ankles whenever she tried to shift her position or test the strength of her bonds.Even though she had not been physically beaten or assaulted since being forcibly taken from the street where she had been driving alone, and there were no visible bruises or marks of violence on her face or exposed skin, she was visibly seething with anger and frustration at her current helpless predicament.Her jaw was clenched tight with barely controlled rage, and her eyes burned with fury and defiance as she stared straight ahead into the space around her, because she knew with absolute certainty that she had been deliberately and professionally kidnapped by people who clearly had specific intentions and plans for her.The calculated nature of her abduction, the careful way they had snatched her off the street without causing a scene or leaving w
