The children were taken to a room. As soon as they entered, the door was closed and a crisp click told them they were locked in.

Maya’s eyes glowed with terror. “I’m scared. I want Mommy!”

“Stay strong, Maya. Mommy and Daddy will come to rescue us,” promised Nina as she held Maya’s plump hand tightly.

Juan and Kyle examined the place. They were inside a room with three solid walls and one glass door that led to a balcony. Unfortunately, bodyguards had that glass door heavily guarded so that not even a bug could fly out without them noticing. It was virtually impossible for the kids to flee under those circumstances.

Kyle couldn’t figure out the motive so he asked his siblings, “Why do you think he brought us over?”

Juan sighed and guessed, “Maybe it’s because he likes Mommy and wants to force her into marrying him.”

Nina scolded angrily, “Stealing another man’s wife and kidnapping children. How despicable!”

Maya was upset as well when she heard how Levant wanted to take their mommy away from their daddy.
