Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 144 The Kidnapping

Becky looked at Cason with some displeasure. “Is there something wrong?”

He was so upset after answering the phone. They guessed that something serious was going on.

Kaliyah also looked at him. He had mentioned Ainsley’s name. She was very sensitive to

that name now.

“Ainsley is missing,” Cason said.

Thinking about what Matteo had just said. He subconsciously looked at Kaliyah. “Do you know where

she is?”

“Cason! What do you mean by asking me that? How could I possibly know where she is?” Kaliyah

grimaced.

Cason smiled apologetically. “Kaitlin did something wrong before, and I’m afraid she’ll repeat the same

mistake.”

Kaliyah gave him a disgruntled look. Receiving Becky’s look, she calmed down again. “Cason, I was just

angry because you wronged me without even thinking about it. You know what I am. How could I

possibly do such a thing? I’ve been with you today. It’s not me. You know the attitude of the Easton

family towards Manuel. Matteo does not approve of Ainsley and Manuel being together. Maybe Ainsley

has gone to Manuel.”

But Cason always thought it wasn’t that simple. If Ainsley was really at Manuel’s, Matteo couldn’t have

called him. He thought about it and called Kaitlin again.

“Where are you now?”

The voice on Kaitlin’s side was loud, with singing coming from it. “Cason, I’m at home.”

Cason sounded cold. “A lie. Where the hell are you?”

“I’m at the club.”

“Have you seen Ainsley?” Cason asked straightforwardly.

Kaitlin seemed to think for a long time before answering, “No, how could I have seen that

***. Hasn’t she gone back to the Easton’s house? Don’t mention her to me.”

Before Cason could say anything, someone called out to Kaitlin and told her to have a few more drinks.

“I’m busy right now. I’m not talking to you.”

Hanging up the phone, Cason calmly looked at the phone for a moment. It wasn’t Kaitlin.

There was silence in the living room. Kaliyah looked at her parents’ expressions with some

embarrassment. She tugged on Cason’s shirt. “Cason, this is the Easton family’s family business, and

we have little to do with it. Did you forget that you came here today to talk to my parents? Don’t keep

meddling in the Easton family’s business.”

Cason then came back to his senses, turned his phone off and apologized again and again. But in reality,

he didn’t listen to every word Becky and Bryan said. He kept thinking

about Ainsley.

With the Easton family’s ability, it was easy to find a person in Seattle. How could they not find her and

ask him? It only meant that Matteo didn’t have a clue either.

Kaliyah was on the verge of an emotional outburst. Her mom had talked to Cason a lot, but he was lost

in his mind as if he wasn’t listening.

Matteo had already said at the press conference that Ainsley had nothing more to do with the Baldry

family. She had also planned to stop caring about Ainsley and focus on being with Cason.

But now, with just one phone call, he was so concerned about Ainsley, even questioning her and his

sister over Ainsley!

“Cason, stop thinking about Ainsley!” She yelled.

Bryan and Becky both looked at Kaliyah with distress, while Cason stood up sharply. “I’m sorry, Kaliyah,

Mom and Dad. I’m busy right now. I’ll come back another time to

apologize.”

He said and walked out of the villa without looking back, followed by Kaliyah’s shout,

“Where are you going?”

He ignored it and was in no mood to care. He called Matteo.

When he got into the car, he could not calm down. He had tried his best to control his emotions, not

thinking about Ainsley or her disappearance. But the more he controlled himself not to think about her,

the more he couldn’t help worrying about her.

Matteo’s phone was currently busy, and he was probably on the phone with someone else. Cason

couldn’t resist calling Ainsley again, but couldn’t get through.

Where the hell did she go? Had she gone to see Manuel, as Kaliyah had said? Or had she been

kidnapped?

There was darkness. She didn’t know where she was and could only feel her hands tied tightly together.

Her mouth was also gagged and her whole body was indescribably

sore.

She fearfully heard people talking. “This woman is so good-looking. We really can’t

control ourselves!”

“Shut up! We are paid to do things. We don’t do what we’re not told to do. What’s more, we are paid a lot

of money this time. If you think about that again, get out quickly.”

Who?

Who kidnapped her?

Who paid the money?

She knew nothing, only darkness. She tried calling Serina’s name but got no answer.

Just then, she smelled the strong smell of blood. Then a large amount of blood flowed from the doorway.

It was thick, scarlet and disgusting.

Someone opened the door on her side and she subconsciously ducked. Then two strong men came in

and grabbed her wrists.

She struggled violently. “Let go of me! What are you doing to me? Let go!”

Until she was pushed and her eyes snapped open. Serina cried and whispered to her, “Ainsley, what’s

wrong with you?”

“I’m fine. I had a nightmare.” Ainsley felt scared that the dream was too real as if it had

happened.

Serina cowered in the corner. She was silent again except for calling Ainsley just now. Ainsley

immediately tried to comfort Serina, “Serina, don’t be afraid, Ainsley is here.”

Serina grabbed Ainsley’s hand and began to shake wildly. Her teeth chattered and her

eyes were filled with fear.

Ainsley knew she couldn’t wait any longer. Serina’s psychological shadow was due to her previous

abduction. Being kidnapped again this time would make her condition

worse.

She did her best to calm Serina down and went to the door. Before she could speak, she heard the

conversation of the people inside.

“This woman is so good-looking. We really can’t control ourselves!”

What familiar words! What a familiar voice!

“Shut up! We are paid to do things. We…”

These two men’s voices were the same as what she had dreamed of, even the words

hadn’t changed.

Serina’s entire shoulders trembled. Ainsley made up her mind and slammed the door directly. “Help! Let

us out!”

The door squeaked as it was slammed. Several men pushed the door open, looked her up and down

and said impatiently, “Shut up! Behave yourself. If you don’t want to suffer,

don’t talk!”

“No! Look, she has a serious psychosis. It’s onset now. She must see a doctor

immediately.” Ainsley said anxiously.

“What will happen if she does not see a doctor?” The leader of the group said.

She said anxiously, “She’ll go crazy.”
