All too late for his love

10,000,000 dollars before nightfall in two days? Willow covered her mouth in an attempt to choke back her sobs. How was she supposed to get so much money in such a short amount of time?

The man on the phone cackled as if he could tell how she was feeling. "You'd better get that money as soon as possible, Willow. The later you give me that money, the less of your son you're going to get back."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Willow asked with a shaky voice, gripping the phone tightly.

"Don't you get it?" the kidnapper laughed snidely. "If you get enough money by 8:00 p.m. the day after tomorrow, call me and I'll tell you the address. "If not, then for every hour that you make me wait, I'll take something from your son. Ten fingers, ten toes, and two arms and legs. I'll have just enough for 24 hours worth of fun!

"If you still don't bring me the money, he has two eyes, two ears, a tongue, and a nose. That's plenty for me to play with!"

Willow shivered all over. She didn't want him to hurt her son, so she hurriedly said, "I'll get the money! I'll find a way! Please, please don't hurt my son!"

The kidnapper didn't answer her. He simply cackled and hung up the phone.

Willow lost all of the energy in her body and collapsed to the ground uselessly. She stared at her left hand which was missing a pinky.

The pain of having a finger cut off was seared into her brain even though it had been a few days. There was no way she could forget it. If even she couldn't stand that pain, then how could her small, weak son stand it?NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

No! She couldn't let Aaron go through that sort of pain! She was going to save him no matter what..

Even though it would be near impossible to get 100,000,000 dollars in less than two days, she would die trying for her baby boy.

Kenan had helped her a lot recently, and even though Willow could barely bear to ask him for more help, she knew very clearly that he was the only one who had enough money and would be willing to help her.

She remembered saving his number and quickly scrolled through her phone until she found it. She called him immediately. But no matter how many times she called, she only got a mechanical female voice in return.

"We're sorry, but the number you dialed is unavailable."

After all, Kenan was overseas for work. He was probably on the plane right now. Even if he had gotten off the flight, he was way too busy for her to be able to contact him. All she could do was go to Zayn for help.

She bit her bottom lip and suppressed the bitterness and humiliation she felt before making the call The phone rang for a long time before Zayn finally picked up.

He answered in a careless but hateful tone, asking, "What do you want, woman?"

"Zayn, Aaron got kidnapped-"

"Kidnapped?" Zayn scoffed coldly.

"Let me guess, the kidnapper asked for a ransom and you need my En money?"

Before Willow could say anything, he said coldly, "You really can make up anything for some cash."

"I'm not lying, Zayn. Aaron really did get kidnapped, and the ransom is 100,000,000 dollars. If don't give him the money by 8:00 pm.

tomorrow, he's going to."

Zayn heard her sobbing, on the other energy to end. She used all of her finally say, "Every hour that passes without the money is another finger they'll cut off. Please, Zayn. Please save Aaron!"
