Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

She went around the whole place once, but she still couldn’t find her son. What she didn’t know was that there was a man carrying a young boy who was covered in a coat somewhere not far away. The boy was none other than Jared.

Anastasia went to a staff member who was on patrol and anxiously blurted, “Have you seen my son? He has a blue down jacket on, and he is about this tall.”

“Miss, did you child go missing? Please calm down, there are a lot of children here today. We will find him for you.”

The lady comforted her.

Anastasia, however, remained terrified. It was far too sudden. In just a blink of an eye, Jared had vanished.

She turned around and saw that David and his men were no longer around. What happened? They’ve been following me all along!

Anxiously, she took her phone out and called Elliot.

“Hello?”

“Elliot, have David and his men returned yet? Jared has gone missing! He vanished before my eyes!” Anastasia was about to lose it and her voice was trembling nervously.

“Don’t panic, Anastasia. I’ll contact David now, alright?” Elliot tried to console her. “You look around first while I give him a call.”

After ending the call, Anastasia went to the broadcasting area with the staff. She called Jared’s name several times over the broadcast and asked him to approach the staff and return to her once he heard the broadcast.

At the same time, all staff were reminded to keep an eye out for any child dressed similarly to Jared.

While the broadcaster was still speaking, Anastasia’s phone rang. She picked it up right away when she saw it was Elliot who called. “Hello?”

“Something must have happened to Jared, Anastasia. I can’t contact David and his men at all. Jared might have been kidnapped. I’m rushing to the museum now.”

“What?!” Hearing that, Anastasia felt as though all her energy was drained and she almost dropped her phone to the floor. A staff member nearby immediately held her when he saw that. “Miss, are you okay?”

With reddened eyes, she begged the staff, “My son has been abducted! Please show me the surveillance video!”

In the meantime, Elliot was on his way to the museum as well. When his car came to a stop in front of a traffic light, he could hear his phone ring, and he answered it immediately as he assumed that the caller was Anastasia. “Hello?”

“Anastasia’s son is in our hands, Elliot Presgrave. Don’t you dare inform the police! Follow our instructions or otherwise, Anastasia will never get to see her son again.” It was a male voice, clearly generated by a voice-changing device.

Elliot’s car immediately braked, almost colliding with the car behind him. After a brief pause, he calmly responded, “What exactly do you want me to do? I can give you whatever you want as long as you don’t harm the child.”

Elliot knew fully well that this kidnapper, or the group of them, kidnapped Jared all because of him.

At the same time, a man approached his window and violently knocked on it. Elliot’s earlier brake almost caused this man to collide with him.

After a few knocks, the man was met with Elliot’s terrifying cold stare. That startled him, and he quickly took a few steps back and walked away after spewing some vulgarities.

Elliot had a gloomy yet ruthless expression as he heard the conditions on the other end of the phone call.

“First and foremost, Elliot Presgrave, you tell Anastasia not to notify the police. We can’t guarantee this child’s safety if we are being pursued by the police. We’ll contact you after that.”

And the person hung up the call right after he finished his words.

Elliot immediately dialed Anastasia’s number. At the same time, she was watching the surveillance footage in the security room, where she witnessed Jared being carried away in a matter of seconds. The two men who had previously blocked her vision were the kidnapper’s accomplices. She also saw how David and his men passed out before being carried away.

Such a large-scale kidnapping plot stunned the security guards as well. Anastasia, who was on the verge of collapsing, received a phone call at this precise moment. “Jared has indeed been kidnapped.”

“Calm down, Anastasia. I’ve just received a phone call from the kidnapper. They are after me, not Jared. Don’t call the police first. I’ll bring Jared back safely.” Elliot’s calm voice resonated from the phone.

Anastasia’s mind went blank for a few seconds before she asked, “What do they want from you?”

“I’ve already instructed Rey to get you; follow him first. Don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can to protect Jared.”

Anastasia felt her heart tighten when she heard Elliot’s words. This group of kidnappers clearly had this incident well-planned. If Elliot went straight to them to save Jared, would Elliot be able to survive?

“Elliot…” She began to cry out in fear, and tears fell from her eyes. She wanted both Jared and Elliot to be safe.

“Be patient and wait for my updates.” He hung up the call right after that.

At the same time, a staff member approached her and asked if she wanted to notify the police. Trying hard to keep her emotions in check, Anastasia responded, “That’s not necessary. I know that person.”

Since that was the case, the staff did not ask further too, as they did not want to shoulder any unnecessary responsibilities.

Anastasia then quickly walked out from the office. When she reached downstairs, Rey was already waiting for her.

“Rey, do you know who is behind this kidnapping?” she asked anxiously the moment she got in the car.

Rey’s face was tense as well. “We are looking into it. We don’t know much about the kidnappers right now, but Riley is likely involved. The abductors did not appear to be locals.”

“What does Riley want? Elliot’s life?” Anastasia continued asking.

“Riley has always wanted to seize the Presgrave Group. Hence, even if they had President Presgrave with them, they would not harm him for the time being.” Rey tried to comfort Anastasia. After all, she had never encountered anything like this before.

But her fists remained tightly clenched and the fear in her heart never subsided. Where’s Jared now? Will they hurt him? Is he scared?

Meanwhile, Jared was on a yacht which had just sailed. His small figure sat in one corner of the room, with his limbs not tied as he had nowhere to escape to.

At this moment, a woman walked in. Aliona wasn’t afraid of exposing herself this time, as this was already her final step. Even if Elliot knew she was the mastermind, he would never be able to escape alive.

“How come Anastasia’s son resembles Elliot?” She snorted with resentment.

“Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? I’m not afraid of you at all!” Jared bravely stared at her.

“Aren’t you scared I’ll kill you, kiddo?” Ariona held his chin with her hand, her sharp fingernails slicing across his face.

That immediately caused blood to well on Jared’s face. Arrogantly, she laughed. “It’s painful, right?”

“Shame on you for bullying a child!” Jared yelled.
