Chapter 10 - Samuel Took Mia—and the Billionaire Who Promised to Protect Her Finally Broke Every Rule He Had Ever FollowedIt happened in less than two minutes.
Mia was leaving school.
Security was with her.
The car was waiting.
Then everything went dark.
A smoke device.
A false emergency.
A second vehicle.
When the smoke cleared, Mia was gone.
I received the message five minutes later.
You wanted your family together. Now watch it fall apart.
I screamed.
Nathaniel became silent.
Adrian immediately started making calls.
Federal agents.
Police.
Private security.
Every resource available.
But I knew Samuel.
He didn't want money.
He wanted control.
He wanted Nathaniel broken.
Then a video arrived.
Mia was sitting in a chair.
Scared.
But alive.
Samuel stood behind her.
“Daddy will come.”
Mia looked at the camera.
“Daddy?”
Nathaniel's face crumbled.
I grabbed his hand.
“We'll get her.”
He nodded.
Adrian looked at us.
“Together.”
The rescue came at an abandoned estate outside Manhattan.
Samuel expected Nathaniel.
He got all three of us.
Police surrounded the property.
Adrian's team blocked the exits.
Nathaniel entered alone.
Samuel appeared on the balcony.
“Still protecting everyone?”
Nathaniel looked up.
“Where is my daughter?”
Samuel smiled.
“Your daughter?”
He laughed.
“You abandoned her.”
Nathaniel's face hardened.
“I won't abandon her again.”
Samuel pulled a gun.
Then Mia shouted:
“Daddy!”
Nathaniel looked toward the room.
“I'm here!”
Samuel turned.
That was the moment.
Adrian entered from behind.
The police stormed the building.
Samuel was arrested.
Mia was safe.
I ran to her.
She hugged me.
Then Nathaniel.
May you like
Then Adrian.
For the first time, we all cried.
