NovelEnglishMelody had never used the card Lucas gave her, and her first purchase was for a sum of a million dollars. 'What on earth did she buy?' he wondered.
A million was a mere blip in Lucas' coffers, but that samount was an utterly out-of-character purchase for Melody. He knew her well enough to know she would never touch his money unless it was an emergency.
Sensing that something was amiss, he dialed Melody's number. The silence on the other end was not normal. He frowned and contacted the film crew to ask if Melody was at the set.

He called hand was told that Melody was not there. The situation was getting more and more difficult.
He got up, flung open his office door, and barked out an order to Edmund, "Locate Melody's phone! I need to know where she is!" "Yes, sir!" Edmund answered when he sensed the urgency in Lucas' voice. Though he did not know what happened, he felt that it was not the tto ask questions and swiftly directed the technicians to start searching.
In the dusty confines of an abandoned building, BD and his gang had just enough knowledge to disable Melody's phone despite being school dropouts. However, it never occurred to them that the phone could still be tracked even when it was switched off.
"This was easy money, boss! We're rich!" The blonde squatted on the floor and marveled at the bank balance on his phone. "A million bucks is so much better than that stingy Wendy gave us. What does she take us for? Beggars?" The blonde was satisfied as one million was already a fortune to him. However, BD and the guy with the buzzcut saw things from a different perspective. They felt that they could squeeze a little more out of her if she could fork out a million without hesitation.
Melody observed them quietly and calculated her options. She believed that they would ask her for more, and she had to delay them for as long as she could no matter what happened.
Lucas was a smart man, and she believed that he would notice that something was amiss from the transaction records.
Meanwhile, the Rivera Group's tech team was putting in a gargantuan amount of effort to locate the whereabouts of Melody's phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sir, we've found her!" The technician cover with a tablet and displayed a satellite map. "Based on satellite images, your wife's phone seems to be at this unmarked location. I did a quick check and found out that this is an abandoned building." Lucas narrowed his eyes. "How far is it, and how long will it take for us to get there?" "Approximately sixty kilometers. That'll cto an hour's drive at the quickest." "That's too long! Is there a shorter route?" An hour was an eternity. There was no telling what those kidnappers would do to Melody! Lucas could not afford to wait that long. He needed to go there-fast! "There's a smaller road, but it'll be risky to take that road because it's in very bad condition," the technician warned. "The safer route would be to take the elevated highway and then the mountain road. This will cut our journey tin half, but the narrow and winding mountain road isn't ideal for nighttdriving." Lucas did not care about the danger and had decided to take the quickest option. "Take the smaller road. Now!" The risk was a small price to pay for reaching there as quickly as possible.
