“Give me the satellite phone.” Shane reached out his hand.

Silas handed it to him immediately.

Shane made a call to the villa.

It was Mrs. Wilson who answered the phone, “Hello, Mr. Shane, it’s so late already; why haven’t you come back? Have you found madam?”

Mrs. Wilson knew that Natalie had been kidnapped, too.

“No.” Shane tightened his grip on the phone. There were tinges of weariness, hoarseness, and self-accusation in his voice.

In spite of that, he failed to keep his promise. Not only did she experience it for a second time, but she even fell off the cliff the next day she was kidnapped.
