The Law of Attraction

Chapter 400: I Thought You Were Dead

Chapter 400: I Thought You Were Dead

Liam and Jorge arrived at the location where mom Ana's car was left behind. The police were with them.

"She was kidnapped," the police stated as he showed the copy of the CCTV footage to Liam.

"We are now tracing the van. We will need your cooperation. The kidnappers will surely call you soon so we need to tap wires to trace the location." The police suggested and Liam only nodded.

Liam clenched his fist. He feared that Lana's father probably called Lana already and negotiated. He must go back or else Lana might make a bold move without him.

"Please stay put, love. Don't do anything reckless," he whispered as he turned around to go back home.

Jorge approached him from behind and said quietly, "Miley called. Lana left with the military…"

"What?!" Liam beamed and rushed back inside the car with Jorge.

"Where to sir?" Andrew asked and Jorge just signaled him to wait.

Liam called Drey and asked anxiously, "Where are you headed? Where's Lana? Give the phone to her."

"I'm not sure Liam but yes Lana is with me," Drey answered with a conflicted tone. Lana threatened to go alone unprepared if he didn't help her with the things she needed.

He looked at Lana who signaled him to give her the phone.

"I have to do this, Liam. Please don't stop me," Liam heard Lana requesting on the other line.

"Love, you are pregnant. Please think about our baby as well." Liam pleaded, making Lana close her eyes whilst tears kept falling from them.

"I have to do this Liam or else mom will die. I have to take this risk. That monster also has Luo as his hostage, Liam… That's two lives… What do you want me to do? I'm the only one who can do this and face him or else, those two will die. He wants me..." Lana murmured, trying her best to be strong for her husband's sake. She would do her best to save both her mother and Luo.

The monster was tricky and cunning. No one would know the place except her. She would need to follow his instructions step by step. But she would prepare herself well so Drey could implant a tracking device onto her body without the monster knowing.

"Love, please come back… There could be another way. We will figure out something…" Liam begged several times.

"I love you…" was the last words he heard before the call ended.

Drey heaved a deep frustrated sigh as he looked at Lana. He stopped at the side of the road and put the tracker on her.

"You can do this and succeed if you don't get emotional at the scene and rather be more rational, Lana" Drey commented before letting Lana out of his car. Lana gave him a smile and said, "This is nothing compared to the missions we had done before."

"Yeah, but your mother is involved,?so you need to stay focused." Drey reminded her and Lana hugged him one last time before she went out of the car.

Her mobile phone rang as soon as she was inside the mall the monster told her to be.

"Go to the restroom on the second floor. A woman in a red shirt will approach you and you will give her your mobile phone. You have to remove everything you wear from head to toe. I know you were in the military and have done a lot of missions already, so spare me with your tracking device."

Lana did as she was told and the woman in red gave her another phone. It rang and she immediately answered it.

"I need to see whether you are being followed. Go to the restroom on the third floor and wear that hoodie together with others."

Lana once again did as told. There were six women with the same built as hers and the same pants who wore the same outfits. She was also given the same glasses and all of them went out together at the basement parking lot. A car stopped at the front and each one of them went inside each car.

Lana cursed. Her father could not afford this without backing. He was obviously hitting all his targets with one stone. He asked for a ransom from Noah and she heard it was a large sum of money. At the same time torturing her with her mother's life.

He would remain a monster until he died…

Lana was in the third car. She still had the tracking device implanted inside her skin in her arm.

Soon the driver dropped her off at an abandoned building and Lana went inside. A man escorted her up. Lana looked around and noticed there were a lot of armed men roaming both outside and inside the building. She definitely would not manage to take them all down on her own.

"Welcome Lanabelle…" The familiar monster approached her with his terrifying voice that she never wanted to hear again in her life at all.

Lana asked with a straight force, "Where are they?"

The monster pointed his finger at her and said, "You! You're still that stubborn child. You never visited me in the prison and totally forgot me. Even my fake remains… You let it rot! You didn't even ask how I came back from the dead?"

She remained quiet…

And she could tell the monster was really frustrated.

He signaled a man who dragged her to another area where she saw her mother standing on a chair with a rope tied around her neck. Her hands were tied at her back. On another side Luo was also standing on a chair, hands tied on the back and a rope around her neck as well.

'Oh my God!' Lana silently cried. One wrong move or word from her would lead to one of them being choked. She suddenly opened her mouth and said, "I thought you were dead…"

Her father sat on the chair in between Luo and her mother and then, he smiled maniacally at her.

"Do you think everything I'm doing right now would have been possible without a powerful connection? I have to lick their asses Lanabelle, just to get my freedom. That man you saw at the morgue was a different man. Obviously, that man was just a crazy street dog who had to undergo a face surgery long ago to look like me to serve his purpose."

The monster pointed his finger on his temple and mumbled, "You got your brain from me Lanabelle. Just like her..."

Lana looked at Luo where the monster's finger was pointed at. Then she heard his loud scornful laughing.

"You know… Earlier I didn't believe in fate. But after seeing you two together…"

Lana was too confused with the monster's words.

"Oh… You look confused my child… Faith Luo is your older sister."
