Chapter 119
Always Been Yours
Gregory gasped in reflex and tried to struggle free, but he was just a child. He was too weak to fight against an adult. A moment later, he was taken into a car, and the kidnappers left immediately.
After the crew member got Trevorâs permission, she went back to take Gregory to the practice hall, but he wasnât in the guest hall. She looked around, but he was nowhere to be found, so she asked the receptionist. The receptionist said Gregory went to the loo. The crew member shrugged and went to work on other stuff.
Half an hour later, Tessa got her break, and she came out to see Gregory, but he was nowhere to be found. She thought he went somewhere else to play, so she searched the area, but she still couldnât find him. Concerned, she asked the crew member where Gregory was.
The crew member paused for a moment, and only then did she realize something was off. âOh no, I forgot because I was too busy! Where is he? Heâs been in the loo for a long time now. I havenât seen him.â
Tessa looked horrified. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about the case. She quickly went to the loo to look for Gregory, but he was not there.
The crew member was shocked as well. She searched for the boy, and everyone else helped, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Tessa started to panic. If heâs not here, then he must have gone out. She ran to the surveillance room.â
want to see the security cameraâs footage.â
The crew member in the room didnât stop her. A moment later, he showed her the footage, and they saw Gregory being taken away by a man in black after he went out.
Tessaâs heart almost stopped right there and then. Trevor was shocked as well. Thatâs the Sawyersâ
young master! âDonât just stand there! Call the cops! Tessa, call the boyâs family.â
Tessa snapped out of it and called Nicholas at once.
Nicholas and Timothy had just finished the meeting for the product introduction and were walking out of the meeting room. Nicholas was talking about the contract signing. âIâll get Edward to draft the contract.
Once you sign it, the partnership will begin. Weâll be counting on you for the technical difficulties.â
âNo problem,â Timothy answered happily, and he looked confident. The meeting had gone smoothly, and he wanted to share the news with Tessa.
Just then, Nicholasâ phone rang, and when he took the call, his face fell. âWhat? Greg is missing? Iâll be right there.â
Timothy froze up as well. âWhat happened?â
Nicholas had a dark look on his face. âTessa said Gregâs missing. The signing will have to be delayed. I have to leave now.â
âWhat? Iâll go with you then.â Timothy was worried too, since Tessa was involved.
Nicholas nodded. When they went into the elevator, they met Kieran. Kieran was shocked to find out about the news, so he went with them as well. They arrived at the center as quickly as they could. The moment they came in, they saw Tessa in tears.
âWhat happened?â Nicholas sounded dark.
Tessa teared up. âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault for not keeping an eye on him. I never thought this would happen.â
Nicholas looked furious. âThis is not the time for crying. Tell me what happened.â
âCalm down, sis. Tell us how Gregory went missing,â Timothy told her gently.
Tessa told everyone what happened.
Trevor was already prepared, and he handed the laptop to him. âThey seem to have planned this out.
Nicholas watched the footage sullenly, and he knew roughly where the kidnappers had taken Gregory even though the event happened in less than one minute. âThey went north. Kieran, go to the cops and get the footage of the streets.â
Kieran nodded seriously. âOkay.â
Kieran turned to leave at once, but before he could, the receptionist hurried in. âSir, Trevor. The officers are here.â
Donât just tell us! Trevor yelled, âYou imbecile! This is not the time to stop them! Donât just stand there, let them in!â
Gregory had gone missing in his center, and that was a disaster. Everyone was searching for the boy to face even graver consequences.
