When the abductors called back, I lied, claiming I had the money and was on my way. I also demanded they release both Victor and Vera the moment I handed it over.
After withdrawing the money with the help of my financial advisor, I dragged two large briefcases to the designated location.
The abductors instructed me to keep moving until I reached an abandoned factory. That’s where they were holding my in-laws.
I dropped the briefcases and dashed into the factory, where I immediately spotted Vera’s car.
The rear passenger door was open, but inside…
I saw Victor and Vera. Their hearts had been gouged out, and they were on the verge of death.
Tears streamed down my face as I frantically dialed a healer’s number, fumbling toward my in-laws.
“I’m at an abandoned factory behind Moonshines Winery! I need assistance immediately! Two werewolves with their hearts gouged out!”
