His gaze lingered on the spot where Logan had jumped. After what seemed like an eternity, his body began to shudder uncontrollably.

The toy cell phone he clutched slipped from his grasp and clattered at his feet.

The morning was picturesque, the scenery breathtaking, yet it harbored a cruel twist.

He felt abandoned, as though the world had left him behind, alone.

Yvan's eyes reddened, a tightness in his chest spreading pain throughout his body. Trembling, he fumbled with the toy cell phone. Inside were several voice recordings, and staring at the play button on the screen, Yvan found himself terrified to press it.

He feared what overturning his world might mean-if he heard something that challenged everything he believed, how could he possibly save Logan and Matilda, who were seemingly at their wits’ end? He would give all he had for a second chance.

Sensing Yvan'’s panic, one of the officers stepped in to press play, and a conversation filled the air.

The voices were familiar to everyone.

The youthful one belonged to Logan, and the clear, feminine voice... it was Ella.

“I know it was you. | know you hired someone to kidnap | x “Ha! Why would you say that? Your mom'’s been filling your head with nonsense.

If you really had evidence it was me, why didn’t you go to your dad? Because you've been fed lies by your mom. Don’t think you can bring me down. Your dad won't believe your wild accusations.” “My dad? | never thought about going to Mr. Boyd to expose you because | feel like her deserves someone like you. He shouldn't be allowed to mistreat my mom. Do you know, maybe you've underestimated me because I'm a kid, and that’s why you've lost. Many times when you called associates, | overheard everything.” 7/2 11:03 Logan's laughter was also captured, ringing in everyone's ears.

| couldn’t be bothered to expose you since this just seemed like an opportunity. An opportunity for my mom and Mr. Boyd to cut ties for good.” You... who are you, really? Impossible, you're just playing tricks! Yvan won't believe you!” The last sounds were of Logan ascending the stairs, his soft laughter carrying the weight of a chilling resolve that pierced straight into Yvan's heart.

It felt like there was a hole in his chest, blood gushing out, the cold wind blowing through it, chilling him to the bone.

He snatched the phone back from the officer, replaying the recording over and over. Impossible... impossible... where had everything gone wrong? Under what circumstances was this recording made? Logan... why would Logan leave this recording for him?

With eyes blazing, Yvan looked up at Ella, his gaze filled with a hauting hatred. Arrest. !”

The officers sprang into action, seizing Ella, who screamed pahic, © I . ” Yvan, WhédPare you doing?” Yvan spared her not a single glance, gripping the phone in his shaking hands.
