After being hauled from the bar, Maja found herself dumped in a room.
She could hear Patric on the phone, and the plane was due to take off in two hours. Patric was likely going to take her to the airport soon.
To avoid any complications on the road, the effects of the drugs she had been given were still lingering, leaving her feeling weak and limp.
She was still dressed in the same outfit from the bar, a disguise to prevent her from being recognized on the street.
"You see this?" Patric patted the fake skin on her belly, his face twisted in a sly grin, "It's a lot more convincing than stuffing a pillow under your shirt."
"Let's go, darling."
The term of endearment made Maja's skin crawl. She still had no idea what Patric's intentions were, and the fear of the unknown was the most terrifying.
She was helped into the car and leaned against the window. A driver was at the wheel while Patric kept a protective arm around her to prevent her from falling.
As they passed through several checkpoints, the presence of police officers visibly increased.
Patric raised an eyebrow at the driver, asking, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Patric," the driver replied, "word is, the Miller family is looking for someone."
Hearing this, Maja's eyes lit up.
Carol!
The Miller family's influence in Greenfield was significant. Carol must have convinced Abner to help.
Tears welled up in Maja's eyes as she mustered every ounce of strength she had to try and break the car window and roll out.
But even with all her might, she could only make a sound against the glass.
Upon seeing this, Patric pulled her back, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Didn't I tell you to behave? I don't have much patience, don't test me."
Maja was desperate. She knew the power of the Miller family; that was her chance to escape.
The next moment, the car was pulled over by the police.
Patric rolled down the window, "Something wrong, officer?"
"A major criminal suspect has escaped. We need to check your vehicle."
The area was swarming with flashing police lights as they conducted a thorough search of every vehicle.
Thanks to Carol, Maja saw a glimmer of hope.
She tried to move, but Patric pulled her back as soon as she mustered some strength.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
