Sadie tried asking the maids a question, but they woman didn't respond. Instead, tshey just set the dinner on the table, gave Sadie a bow, and left.

"Wait..." Sadie called out, hoping to stop her. But she had no strength in her body, and the maids walked out, closing the door behind themr without saying a single word from start to finish.

Sadie rushed to the door to open it but found it was locked from the outside and wouldn't budge. She pounded on the door, shouting, "Hello? Let me out, let me out!"

But there was no response.

She twisted the doorknob with all her might, but it was no use. Defeated, Sadie ran to the window and looked down, only to be stunned by what she saw.

It was an odd-looking house; she surmised she was about ten stories high. There were no balconies, no AC units, nothing to climb down just a tall, imposing stone wall that gave off the vibe of a classic European castle. A jump from the window would undoubtedly be fatal.

If her captor didn't release her, she wouldhad have no chance of escape.

Who could have locked her in this place?

Sadie turned to examine the food on the crystal dining table: an exquisite French meal complete with foie gras, escargot, steak, bread, fruit salad, and a bottle of wine...

She sniffed the wine; it was a limited edition from a Bordeaux winery in France, specifically catered to women...

It seemed her kidnapper was a woman.

Could it be Amelia?

No, Amelia lacked this kind of elegance. If it had been her, Sadie probably would've been bruised all over by now, not sitting here unharmed, enjoying a gourmet meal.

Sadie scanned the room for clues, noting the genuine old European masterpieces adorning the walls and the antique vases tucked into the corners. The refined ambiance of the guest room, repurposed as a holding place for hostages, hinted

at the sophistication and nobility of its owner.Sadie searched the room for clues. She could tell the paintings on the walls were genuine old European masterpieces and even the vases in the corners were antique. A guest room used as a holding place for hostages that was this refined indicated that the owner was someone sophisticated and noble.

But who was she?

Sadie racked her brain but realized she didn't know anyone like this.

Looking at the food before her, she had no appetite, her thoughts fixated on her three babies and Brenda, wondering how they were doing...

She searched the room and quickly found her phone, an unexpected surge of relief hitting her. Frantically, she tried calling Micah, only to replace there was no signal.

She removed the SIM card, re-inserted it, and tried everything, but still, nothing worked.

Sadie slumped onto the bed, overwhelmed with despair, not knowing what to do...

Meanwhile, Micah diligently searched for Nick's whereabouts, but thus far, he had come up empty-handed. Meanwhile, Micah was diligently searching for Nick's whereabouts, but so far, he was coming up empty.

At the hospital, Micah's grandfatherGrandpa was alternating between lucidity and deep slumber. The Clemens family had completely locked down information, ensuring no one outside knew of his condition.

The LuminexLingston's family was deeply concerned because Nelson Naomi was originally supposed to return that week, but now with Micah's grandfatherGrandpa's accident, he dared not leave. He also couldn't visit Micah's grandfatherGrandpa, so he stayed put in their Newark home, waiting for Micah's grandfatherGrandpa to wake up.

Amelia, who had witnessed Micah's grandfatherGrandpa's collapse into unconsciousness, was terrified at first but had become unusually calm in the days following the incident. She went about her work and waited patiently for any news.

Micah was still locked in a standoff with Nick, or more accurately, they were both waiting to see who would buckle under the pressure first.

If Micah's grandfatherGrandpa woke up before Sadie returned, then Nick would lose his chance to play any dirty tricks. And if Micah gave in before his grandfather awoke, then it would mean a loss for Micah... On the third day after Sadie was confined, Nick showed up.

"I thought Micah loved you, but it seems I might have been wrong."

A cold and arrogant woman's voice suddenly echoed from the room.

Startled, Sadie leapt from her bed and demanded into the thin air, "Who are you? Why am I locked up in here?"

"You don't seem very bright." The woman's voice sneered. "Do you want to get out?"

"Yes," Sadie replied, looking around the room for the source of the voice. She quickly spotted a camera in the corner of the ceiling.

All of Sadie's actions within the room over the past three days had been observed by that woman.

"Want to get out? Then behave..." the woman said coldly and then the voice cut off. Soon after, the door to the room opened.
