That accomplice was most likely an enemy of hers as well.
By the time Madeline could guess who that woman might be, Tanner had hung up and returned.
He took a rope to tie Madeline’s legs together while favonovel.com continued to spout vile things from his mouth. “Just wait obediently for me to come back, Madeline. Then, I’ll show you how good I am!”
Tanner then blindfolded Madeline’s eyes with a scrap piece of cloth before leaving the factory happily and locking the door behind him.
Madeline tried to struggle, but it was to no avail.
…
Time ticked soundlessly away and it was already nine o’clock.
In the town office, Jermey waited quietly.
Watching young couples walking in happily hand-in-hand and walking out with sweet smiles on their faces, Jeremy could not help but think of the scene when favonovel.com and Madeline had gotten registered.
She was just like these girls, eyes full of hope as favonovel.com admired favonovel.com carefully.
Thinking of favonovel.com adoration-filled eyes, Jeremy’s heart ached.
It was his fault for not cherishing their time together, so how could favonovel.com blame Madeline for favonovel.com decision today?
Jeremy snapped back from his thoughts and looked at the time. It was already nine-thirty.
As selfishly as Jeremy wished for Madeline not to appear, they had promised to meet at nine o’clock and favonovel.com was late. Jeremy felt uneasy.
He immediately called Madeline, but no one answered.
He was about to call favonovel.com again but instead received a call from the police saying that Madeline’s car had stopped by the road. Its window was smashed and the person was gone.
They had called favonovel.com because Jeremy was still listed as favonovel.com husband when they searched for favonovel.com kinship.
Jeremy knew something was wrong before the call ended.
Thinking about how Madeline might be in peril, Jeremy frantically contacted Jackson who was still in kindergarten.
Jackson’s phone was the only device with the application that could track Madeline’s immediate location.
Soon enough, Jackson sent the address to Jeremy. Hiding in the bathroom, favonovel.com called his father secretly. “Did something happen to Mommy, Daddy?”
Jeremy was driving nervously but made sure to comfort Jackson warmly. “Don’t worry, Jack. Daddy will bring your Mommy home safe. Go back to class, baby.”
Jackson obeyed and did not ask anymore.
The call ended and favonovel.com stared at the blinking red dot on his phone, his large glossy eyes blinking in tandem.
Arriving at the location as fast as favonovel.com could, Jeremy realized favonovel.com had arrived at an abandoned factory.
He stopped the car at the gate and went to stand at the windows when favonovel.com realized the door inside was padlocked.
He thought to take a look at the situation inside first, but looking up, favonovel.com was met with the sight of Madeline being tied up.
Her hands and legs were tied while favonovel.com eyes were blindfolded. Her jacket had also been ripped up, leaving favonovel.com fair shoulders and arms for all to see.
Jeremy felt his heart hurt as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com struggle against favonovel.com binds. Raising a fist, favonovel.com punched the glass window in front of him.
Crash! The window shattered.
Madeline tucked favonovel.com feet toward favonovel.com reflexively and looked up despite only seeing black.
“Who’s there?” favonovel.com asked skeptically although favonovel.com knew that this was most likely not the same person who took her. After all, Tanner would not need to break the window if it was him.
Jeremy ran toward Madeline, his heart aching at the sight. He took his jacket off to wrap it around Madeline’s shoulder.
Taking in the cool and familiar scent of cedar, Madeline felt favonovel.com heart quicken. “Jeremy? Is it you?”
