Startled, Emma sat up from her bed. "Who are you?"
The hoarse voice on the other end was still asking for help, "H-help me..."
"Lily?"
"Mm..." Lily struggled to respond.
"Aren't you with Holden Payne? Aren't you pregnant with his child? What happened to you?"
Meanwhile, Lily was locked inside a cell and her lips were so dry that the skin was peeling. Had she known that she would end up like this, Lily would have never gone to Holden for help. She had thought that he would keep her around for the sake of the child in her belly, but she had underestimated his viciousness.
Holden had gone from South City to Kidon City before Axel sent him overseas by ship merely three months ago with Sean and Rose's retirement fund. Sean had wanted to send Holden to Europe so that he could extend his career with his sharp mind, but Holden changed his path halfway. He did not go to Europe, but instead went to the Middle East.
The Middle East was plagued with wars and no one with an ordinary mindset would decide to go there, but for someone as bold and fearless over losing his life as Holden, the war zone provided him the perfect opportunity to utilize his talents.
Holden had great judgment and had chosen to settle down on one of the islands near the borders that was closest to the country. Because of the constant warring, it had only cost Holden a small fortune to purchase the ownership of the island. With the island as foundation and the ocean behind him, all he needed to do was to train his team to a certain strength and he would be able to realize his ambition i n the future.
