Stanley didn\u2019t lift his eyes from the papers. \u201cGo ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTen years ago, George was imprisoned for child molestation, child abuse, and attempted rape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pen in Stanley\u2019s hand suddenly paused, its tip pressing down on the paper. He looked up at Zayn, shocked.\u201d And the victim was Wendy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zayn nodded. \u201cYes, Mr. Hawk. George is a pervert and scum\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s handsome features hardened into a cold, sharp expression. He had suspected there was some dark history between Wendy and George, but he never imagined it would be something like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, a ringtone echoed through the room, breaking the tension. It was a call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley answered, and Cecelia\u2019s frantic voite came through the line. \u201cMr. Hawk, Wendy\u2019s in trouble!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley gripped the phone tightly. \u201cWhat happened to Wendy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy took a check to meet that animal, George. I followed her to the nightclub, but by the time I got inside, she was gone. He took her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley quickly stood up, striding out of the study. He pushed open the bedroom door, but the room was empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was gone. She had left while he was away. She had gone to find George on her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did she take the check to meet George?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause George has a photo of her,\u201d Cecelia answered urgently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A photo? Was it the one George had sent today?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s eyes narrowed as he noticed a box on the nightstand. He opened it, and inside, a photo lay quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He picked it up and glanced at it, but within seconds, his long, sharp fingers clenched around the photo. His usually handsome face darkened with anger and a terrifying coldness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That scum! Why hadn\u2019t she told him? She could have told him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, Stanley\u2019s gaze sharpened. There was something strangely familiar about the young girl in the photo. He\u2019d seen her before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His icy eyes widened as realization hit. He had seen this girl before\u2013she was the one who had saved him in the cave years ago!\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the girl who had saved him was Jessica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could it be that the girl who saved him wasn\u2019t Jessica, but Wendy?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Had he mistaken the person all these years?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s mind raced in confusion. He had been gravely injured back then and was on the brink of death. He hadn\u2019t been able to see the girl\u2019s face clearly. The next morning, when he woke up, she was already gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, was it Wendy who had saved him? Was she the girl from that time?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk! Mr. Hawk, are you listening to me?\u201d Cecelia\u2019s voice snapped him back to the present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 BONUS\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley blinked, refocusing on Cecelia\u2019s words. She was desperate now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk, you need to send someone to find Wendy. She\u2019s back in that animal\u2019s hands. You have to find her and bring her back this time!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right. The most important thing now was to find Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once he found her, he would finally know if she was the girl from that time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she was, he had made a grave mistake. He had left her with that monster, letting her suffer all alone. He would never forgive himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How scared must she have been back then?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had promised to take her with him. He had promised he wanted her around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NV\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s eyes turned red with fury as he glared at Zayn. His voice was cold and sharp. \u201cGet the security footage and track down George\u2019s car. Block every route in and out of Hovendale. I want him trapped\u2013I won\u2019t let him escape!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
