Although Malcolm was reluctant to admit it, he had to concede that he had truly met his match in
Bianca. -
At Lotus Villa, chaos erupted early in the morning. Everyone was in a frenzy, and the entire villa was in
an uproar because...
Natalie was missing! She was missing, and. there was only a letter left behind in her absence!
Stephen examined the note. It wasn't in Natalie's handwriting—it was Cedric's.
The letter contained just one line, [I will bring her back safely.]
"Safely? Does he even know what that word even means?"
Clearly, Heather also recognized the sender of the letter.
Cedric had been there just yesterday, and now, Natalie was gone. Evading all the security systems at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLotus Villa to successfully abduct someone was no small feat, making Cedric both impressive and
infuriating.
Stephen's eyes flashed with determination.
"Steph, we must get her back, no matter what! I don't care what we have to do...!" Heather said,
struggling to maintain her composure.
Given recent events, Heather knew that Cedric was nothing short of a disaster for Natalie.
Whenever Natalie was with him, nothing ever went right!
"Of course." Stephen nodded, his eyes reflecting a hint of menace.
Natalie was already in a critical condition and was soon to undergo critical surgery, yet Cedric had
taken her away at this time!
This was no time for games...!

expression. "Madam, sir...!" "What is it?"
"Something's happened at Hillside Villa..." Agnes hesitated for a moment. "Lydia and Xyla are missing."
Heather and Stephen were stunned.
Lydia and Xyla were the people Heather trusted the most. They were always by Natalie's side, looking
out for her.
Now, they were also missing?!
Natalie had gone missing last night!
The pieces were falling into place, pointing unmistakably to Cedric's involvement.
"Cedric...!" Stephen hissed.

Cedric must have lost his mind!
"Nat! Nat!"
At this moment, Heather was entirely unable to contain her emotions. The mere thought of Cedric
taking Natalie away now...!
As Natalie's mother, Heather was acutely aware of the depth of her resistance towards Cedric and how
bad Natalie's vision was now.
Especially considering the series of unfortunate incidents around Natalie when she was with Cedric
over the years, it seemed as if they were destined for trouble whenever they were together.
That was precisely what concerned her the most!
