He left her for dead in the mountains? The one person | cherish. The one I'd never even raise my voice towards?
Just the very thought of the young girl, lying amidst the rugged mountains, her life ebbing away, left Jordan
gasping for breath.
His usual calm shattered, replaced by a tempest of fury. His fists clenched with such ferocity that his knuckles
turned white. Grabbing Xavier's collar with a force that almost lifted him off the ground, Jordan’s rage erupted in
another brutal strike.
Ivan, standing nearby, was paralysed by the scene unfolding before him. Never had he witnessed Mr. Burnett in
such a state of wrath. Though stern with his brothers, physical violence had never been his recourse. But this
time, Mr. Xavier had indeed transgressed too far.
As Xavier reeled from the blows, nearing collapse, Mr. Burnett's rage showed no signs of abating. His fist. raised

“Mr. Burnett, | beseech you, cease this at once. If you continue, you may very well end Mr. Xavier's life.”
The implication was unmistakable. Persisting could result in Xavier's death.

resigned to his fate.
Jordan, staring at the suffering Xavier, his fist still clenched, his eyes blazing, spoke through gritted teeth, “Bind

He trailed off.
“If you fail to find her, none shall return!”
Ivan responded immediately, “Yes, Mr. Burnett.”
In the mountains, a relentless search unfolded. Countless individuals scoured the terrain on foot, accompanied
by hundreds of search dogs. Drones and helicopters filled the skies, their mechanical hums echoing through the
valleys..
Jordan followed Xavier to the spot where Milly had last been seen, now ominously vacant. The once blood-

Xavier stared at the empty space, his voice a mere whisper, “Milly
Jordan, fighting against the tide of fear rising within him, struggled to maintain his composure, his heart heavy
with dread.
Fury and terror would not avail him now. Only through calm and collected thought could a solution be wrought.
As Jordan surveyed the surrounding landscape, he noted the terrain, though seemingly flat, was cloaked in dense
vegetation, with a steep incline nearby.

no signs of predatory animals dragging her away could be found, nor any evidence of her body tumbling down
the incline.
How, then, had Milly vanished from this place?
In the midst of these contemplations, Jordan's phone chimed persistently in his pocket. Engrossed in deciphering
the clues before him, he initially ignored the call. Yet the insistent ringing drew his attention. and he retrieved
the device.
Hansel?
What business could the Lloyds have with him at this critical juncture? There had been no recent dealings
between the Burnetts and the Lloyds, and their relationship lacked the familiarity for casual calls. Could this be
connected to Milly?
Not willing to overlook any possibility, Jordan answered, “Hello, Mr. Lloyd.”

Jordan's gaze narrowed in suspicion.
How could Hansel be aware of the search?
He had ventured out discreetly to locate Milly, hoping to avoid unnecessary attention. So how did he become

“The mountain where Ms. Burnett was undergoing military training was recently acquired by our family. We
intend to develop it into a tourist attraction in the future. Though still in the planning stages, the mountain is
patrolled year-round.”
He continued, “It so happened that our patrol team encountered Ms. Burnett, noticed her severe injuries, and
brought her down for medical attention. She is currently at our residence.
Jordan's heart lifted at the news.
She is alright.
The deluge of emotions caused him to falter, his previously taut nerves surrendering their hold. His hand found
solace against the rough bark of a nearby tree, a momentary anchor in the storm of his feelings.
Drawing a deep breath, he endeavoured to maintain an even temper. “Mr. Lloyd, whatever aid you require, the
