Tessa asked, “What about <b>you</b><b>? </b>Are you safe?
“I’m fine,” Wesley replied. “But, Miss, you can’t go to Highspire Ridge anymore.”
“What?” Tessa said..
Wesley added. “Those people tracked you to Falvaria. I think they’ve already figured out where Ms. Diana arranged for you to go. Highspire Ridge isn’t safe anymore.”
Just as she suspected… “Then what do I do now?” If Highspire Ridge was off the table, where could she go?
“I’ll need to check <b>in </b>with Ms. Diana. Don’t check into any hotels–wait for my instructions,” Wesley said.
A hotel <b>was </b>definitely out of the question. They knew who Tessa was. Registering at a hotel would only expose her location.
“Huh? How long will that take?” Wait for instructions? Falvaria was freezing cold: was Wesley expecting her to just wait out on the street?
“I need to reach Ms. Diana first. Miss, the situation is very serious, I think you-”
Thud! Wesley didn’t get to finish. There <b>was </b>a loud sound on the other end–her phone had dropped.
Tessa’s breath caught in her throat. Before she could speak, a rough male voice came through the line. “It’s her. Bring her back.”
Tessa was stunned. Something had happened to Wesley. Cold sweat formed on Tessa’s forehead as she gripped the phone. Then she heard the man’s voice again.
“You’re Tessa, right?” His threatening tone pierced through the phone and stabbed right into her chest. Tessa’s hand trembled. The phone slipped from her grip andnded inside the car. Her mind wentpletely nk. One disaster after another–she could barely breathe.
“Tessa? Tessa, where are you?” the voice persisted.
Victor nced at her trembling form. He leaned over, picked up the phone, checked the number, then said coldly, “What does her <b>location </b>have to do with you?”
The moment Victor spoke, his voice carried an overwhelming authority.
The man <b>on </b>the other end hesitated. “And who are you?” he asked.
“Victor Perez.
“M–Mr Victor” The man’s <b>voice </b>wavered in shock <b>and </b>nanic

Victor narrowed his eyes. “Who are you people?”
Beep… beep…..
Before he could finish, the line went dead. When he tried calling back, the number was no longer reachable. Clearly, once they heard Victor’s name, they panicked and hung up. He tossed the phone back to Tessa.
Tessa, still shaking, said. “The airport. We need to go find Wesley
Wesley had worked under her mother for years. She had an eighty<b>–</b><b>year</b>–old grandfather in the hospital. She couldn’t be allowed to get hurt. Tessa had heard the danger in that man’s voice. She was terrified.
Victor nced at her but said nothing.
Meeting his dangerous gaze, Tessa shrank back. How had she forgotten that this wasn’t someone she could boss around. ‘S–sorry, she whispered.
Wesley was in trouble, she was all alone in Falvaria, and now this… Tessa was more cautious than
Before Victor could reply, his phone rang again. He answered with a chilling, “Speak
They re about to dock? Got it.”
He hung up, eyes like ice. “Head to Coconut Bay. Now, he told the driver.
“Yes, sir.” The driver broke into a cold sweat and quickly turned the car again.
Victor called John. The call connected quickly. “Boss.”
“You all in ce?”
“Three minutes away.”
They’re about to dock.”
“Understood.”
Victor ended the call and looked at Tessa. “So Highspire Ridge is no longer an option?
Tessa looked at him helplessly and nodded. She was nervous, scared, and even a little hopeless. She <b>had </b>no idea what was happening. Her peaceful life had just been shattered.
Victor said nothing more.
Tessa, mind finally catching up, remembered she needed to call Ste<b>. </b>Falvaria <b>was </b>Ste’s hometown<b>, </b>after all.

“What? I can’t eat anymore?” Ste looked up at him, eyes wide. These were just too good-
she wanted more.
