Chapter 1810
Heart racing, he burst through the door, fearing that something had happened to Ariana.
Ariana, what happened? Are you alright? Holden rushed to Arianas side, his voice thick with worry as he checked
if Ariana was hurt.
Seeing it was Holden, Ariana let out a small sigh of relief.
Im fine; dont worry, she assured him, her voice calm.
| just woke up and tried to have swater, but | accidentally let the glass slip from my hand and break.
Holden followed her gaze to see a small puddle of water and shards of glass on the floor.
Its okay.
Stay put.
Ill get you another glass of water.

Holden gently touched Arianas head, the tension slowly leaving his body.
As Ariana sipped on the fresh glass of water Holden handed her, Holden called someone over to clean up the
floor. Ariana, noticing Holdens disheveled state, tenderly handed the glass of water back to Holden.
Holden took the glass and drank.
Wheres Melon? Did you find Moss? Ariana asked.
Hearing this, Holden paused.
After a while, he replied, | found Moss trail, but... Someone else got to him first and abducted him.
Library They also took Melon away? Arianas eyes widened in shock.
Holden nodded, avoiding Arianas gaze.
Arianas blood ran cold, draining the color from her face as she was frozen in place.
Holdens lips tightened.
He struggled to find words of comfort that refused to come.
Ariana was overwhelmed by emotions.
She clutched her aching chest as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Holden gently rubbed her back, his voice quavering as he spoke.
Try not to worry, Ariana.
Well figure this out, | swear.
Ill have our best people searching for our son immediately.
For now, the doctor insists you need rest.
Please, follow the doctors advice.
Melon had been snatched away, and Ariana didnt even know by whom.
Why had they taken Melon? What did they want? Was Melon still alive? Ariana didnt know the answers to any of
these questions.
How could she lie idly in bed while these questions clawed at her mind? Who took Melon and Moss? Ariana
asked, gripping Holdens hand as tears glistened on her pale face. Are they our enemies? Or someone after
Moss? Holdens gaze dropped, and he paused before answering, My sources only know they are foreign
operatives.
Foreign operatives... Could it be Bennett? Ariana asked, fear creeping into her voice.
Holden immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea.
Thats not possible.
Bennett has no reason to go to such lengths.
If he wanted to cto Eleymond, hed simply call me.
Plus, hes working with the Fredrick Group now.
Kidnapping Melon wont do him any good.
Holdens mind flashed to Bennetts earlier warning about Moss arrival in Eleymond.
He believed Bennett was on his side.
