Together

Chapter 32

-Lucas PoV-

Where is Athanasia actually?

It's been about two hours I toured the college which is very annoying and I still could not find even a shadow of hers.

It was getting dark and I could not contact her at all.

Ring!!!

"Hello?"

"Lucas? Where are you? Why haven't you and Athanasia returned yet?"

Aunt Diana and the others will be very hysterical if they find out Athanasia disappeared, I also don't know where she went to.

"Ummm ... Athanasia still wants to visit a few more stalls. Maybe we will be late, aunt Diana"

"..."

"Hello?"

"Lucas, are you hiding something? Just say it"

How??

"I'm...sorry, Athanasia disappeared. I looked for it two hours ago, but I can't find it. I..."

"..... Don't worry, keep calm and wait for us. We will immediately mobilize assistance"

".... Yes"

I closed my phone and walked toward the main gate, waiting for the Obelia family anxiously.

Athanasia, I hope you are fine

-3rd PoV-

Diana who was currently in the living room with family members squinted, making them wonder. "What's wrong, Diana?", Penelope asked first. Then Diana clicked her tongue and looked at Claude, "It happened again" to which Claude answered with a nod. He finished his tea and stood up then took his phone. His finger quickly pressed the button on the phone to contact someone, he pressed the screen next to his ear and could hear a ring tone that immediately stopped, a sign that the call was picked up, "Felix. Gather the police and track Athanasia's phone". Without questioning again, Anastacius and Penelope soon realized what was happening, starting with Diana's behavior that had changed 180 degrees and Claude giving orders to his personal secretary.

Penelope sighed violently and opened her mouth, "How long has it been since the last time?", "I think two years ago. How stupid they thought to kidnap one Obelia member after the incident two years ago" Anastacius chuckled and folded his arms at his feet and glanced at Claude, "You don't panic again like that time, my brother" who then got a sharp glare from Claude who was already sitting back, Diana asked Jack to prepare their car. Their first destination was the college, where Lucas was waiting.

"It seems like there will be more victims tonight", their eyes glowed for no reason and seem very cold.

Lily, who happened to be near them, could only surrender and pray that the kidnappers could still be forgiven by those sadists.

Somewhere

A blond girl is seen sitting on a chair in a dark room in an old warehouse that has a pungent aroma. Outside, there are some thugs who drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or play cards. They did not care what happened to their captives and continued what they were doing because the command from them was to leave her alone, only to frighten her.

"Hey, boss! What do we do next to this rich girl"

"Shut up! We are only told to hold her and scare her even if necessary, we can threaten her with a knife"

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!", howls of laughter filled the place, then one of them heard a faint sound from the room that held Athanasia. "Hey, boss. Looks like she woke up", "Is it true? Then let's greet her". They opened the door and only saw the tied girl looking down from the start, one of them lifted her chin and only saw that their prisoner was still not conscious at all, "Tch! She hasn't woke up! Did you give too much chloroform dose?!", "No, we just gave the usual dose like others before".
