Chapter <b>77</b>


    Just when she was slowly losing her vision due to the fatigue she got from all of the things that happened to her, she could feel that she had fully drained her energy, and she had no more strength in her to stop them. She could feel something was dripping out of her.


    As she was battling to stay awake while everything was bing blurry and the voices were almost fading as if she would die once she closed her eyes, before she lost her sight, she saw an all–ck man suddenly jumping into the ce through the windows as they came from the <b>sky</b>.


    “Hands up and put your weapons down!” The man shouted as they all stood in an alert stance, aiming their guns at the men who abducted Ciara. The men tried to pull their guns out but couldn’t pursue them <b>as </b>they were now being trapped.


    Shane’s eyes widened. She tried to move and run for her life, but before she could do it, a man had already aimed his gun at her.


    “Lay on the ground! Lay on the ground!” The man shouted aggressively.


    Even her bodyguards couldn’t move as they were forcefully pinned to the <b>ground </b>by the men who arrived.


    “We need a medici I repeat, we need a medic! “The other man <b>said </b>in

    or of the ce.


    “The perimeter is now secured! All clear!” Another man shouted after fully tracing each corner


    Shane was nervous, but at the same time, she knew she could get away knowing that the Haynes were on their side. She was hopeful that Callum would never turn his back on her, as he would always be there.


    A medic immediately checked on ra, who was now put on the stretcher, as they ran her outside with the waiting medic <b>van </b>while she was being checked by the nurse on their way to the hospital.


    It was all thanks to Gwen’s expertise in tracking down the CCTV at the ce where she wasst, and the van that abducted her was followed, even though they were going to ces with no CCTV, that it took <b>longer </b>to track them down.


    When Gwen told Sullivan that Ciara was abducted, Mr. Sullivan was pure livid, as he alerted all of the security tearn and used the best of the best military to handle the situation for closebat fighting.


    They were all angry but worried at the same time, knowing that she was held as <b>a </b>captive. For the first time, their security was outsmarted.


    “Where were her <b>bodyguards </b>at that moment!!” Mr. Sullivan growled furiously.


    Ciara’s bodyguards bowed their heads as they were all guilty of being unable to respond when Ciara was captured.


    “She told <b>us </b>not to-


    And you


    T


    believe her?!” Mr. Sullivan shouted at them. “And now, she’s kidnapped because you believe her word!”


    Serra closed her eyes as she could feel her chest banging loudly while sitting on the sofa.


    Louis was busy on the phone contacting more security to aid them in finding Ciara right away, while Chance <b>was </b>bowing and walking back and forth as he looked like a volcano that would erupt any <b>minute</b>.


    Are


    you <b>now </b>tracking down who’s behind this?” Mr. Sullivan asked.


    “Yes, sir. So far, the investigation is pointing at Wilson. I am further investigating if… Haynes has something to do with this.”


    that it might be Shane who had done it was really true.


    <b>Serra </b>groaned <b>as </b>soon as her instinct th


    “That bitch!”


    “For sure, that <b>woman </b>wants <b>Ciara </b>not to marry Callum. What could be her other reason for this? Her hatred sparkled even more now that Callum has proposed to <b>ra</b><b>, </b>Chance concluded.


    “Exactly. This is what I’ve been saying! Callum was too confident he would tame that bitch! But on


    once she was too heartbroken, she would allsh out at Ciara again! She <b>was </b>so envious of Ciara <b>that </b>she would do everything just to see her at her lowest Serra barked


    aggressively,


    “Let <b>us </b>all wait for ra’s statement after this. There is more to it, for sure,” Louis said <b>critically</b>.


    Mrs. Sullivan wasn’t speaking as she only stared into nothingness; her mind was nk, and she was controlling herself not to burst out and break down when it already reflected on her expression how worried she was for her daughter

    *Cara must not know this, or else she would truly be traumatized if she found out her mother was kidnapped. She is too young for this,” Serra said strictly.


    Everyone agreed as they wanted to protect Cara’s mental state as well. And as hours passed by, while they were waiting for results, a man came to them to report


    “Mr. Haynes was outside the residence, sir. He wanted to go in the man said.


    Mr. Sullivan looked at Gwen, who immediately shook her head.


    “No. Don’t let anyone in aside from the Sullivans. <b>Keep </b>your eyes on the ce,” Gwen ordered.


    The man nodded <b>as </b>he immediately approved her order as the head of security for the family. <b>Serra </b>sighed as she could not argue about it, but then, at the back of her mind, she was praying Callum had nothing to do with it.


    Though she knew that Callum was probably the trigger for Shane’s doing it to ra, they all knew that even if Callum was was part <b>of </b>why Ciara was kidnapped because the woman was obsessed with him.

    “If I find out that bastard has something to do with this, I’ll really smack the shit out of him,” Chance said clearly while the mocking smile was stretching on his lips.


    No one even dared to disagree, and even Mrs. Sullivan could not defend Callum as well. Their main priority now was only Ciara, and her words would weigh more than the exnations of those used.


    “Imagine if he’s part of this abduction. Cara would be very devastated to know that her father was faking it all this time,” <b>Louis </b><b>said</b>. “Oh, he would really see how I raised hell once something bad happened to Ciara. If I could not hurt that woman of his, then he would really get a good punch from me. I’ll wreck his face for not doing anything about that bitch! Chance growled.


    “Ciara was so nice for not putting that bitch in her right ce when she could have filed against her for using her of something she didn’t do. But because Ciara cared and she was trying to understand her, she let that bitch roam around freely without being locked up,” Serra uttered exasperatedly.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “This time, she won’t get away with this. Gwen, make sure to put behind <b>bars </b>all of those who are involved! Don’t even leave one! I want to see <b>them </b>all rot in jail!” Mr. Sullivan said ruthlessly as he looked so ready to start a war on whoever was behind it


    Owen nodded right away, “Copy, sir.”


    No one fell asleep, as they were all waiting for the movement of the security. And for each hour that was running, they would be more worried for Ciara, who was left with those evil men who might dare to hurt her.


    “We found the ce,” one of themanders–in–chief alerted Gwen. “The team is already on standby, ready for a raid.”


    They all sighed in relief, but at the same time, they were worried for Ciara. They were all tensing, <b>as </b>it showed on their faces, while Gwen was monitoring the security and being alerted to the movements for an update.


    And in just half an hour after their update, themander had already told them that the mission was sessful


    “We got her. She would now be taken to the hospital as she copsed, and those who were behind her abduction will now be held under


    Our care


    It was the only <b>news </b>they had been waiting for. The Sullivans immediately went to the hospital without even changing their clothes, as they all wanted to see Ciara, who was still unconscious and being examined by the private doctor who knew the Sullivans.


    “How is she? What happened?” Mrs. Sullivan immediately asked the doctor who came out. “Is she wounded?”


    “For now, she is already stable. But I have bad news.” She looked at them critically.


    The Sullivans looked at each other. They looked all worried.


    <b>“</b>First, <b>may </b>I know if the man of Miss Ciara was here?” She roamed her eyes around.


    Serra shook her head. “No. He wasn’t.”


    “Why? What happened to my daughter?” Mr. Sullivan asked impatiently.


    “The bleeding she had experienced was due to her miscarriage, as she was four weeks pregnant and unfortunately, she lost the baby”


    They all from while Serra’s jaw dropped, and Mrs. Sullivan immediately cried on her husband’s shoulder as the news was just too much for them
