“I guess someone paid off that student.”
They kept watching, but the screen was just a blur of shadows. Nothing showed up.
Stephen's face tightened. “What’s going on?”
The guy from security scratched his head, looking apologetic. “That camera broke last year.”
Stephen’s jaw clenched. “Why didn’t anyone fix it?”
“No one goes down that path much, and, well, we didn't have the budget, so…”
Stephen just stared, breathing hard. He knew yelling at the guard wouldn’t help, but the frustration was eating him up and he had nowhere to put it.
Dr. Palmer broke in. “Let’s get that student in here and ask him.”
It didn’t take long for Dr. Palmer to pull up the student’s info from the school system.
The guy didn’t even try to hide anything. He admitted it right away. “Yeah, I passed her the message. Some man came up to me, said he was her boyfriend. He’d messed up and she was mad at him, so they weren’t talking. He wanted to make up and asked me for help.”
He didn’t seem to realize how serious this was. His tone was almost defensive. “He looked rich, handsome too. I figured I was just helping out. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Stephen’s fists tightened, but he didn’t have time to argue. He forced himself to focus. “What did this guy look like?”
The student thought for a second. “He was really good-looking, you know, seemed like one of those rich kids. Oh, and he was driving the latest Maybach, top of the line.”
The words hit Stephen with the force of a lightning strike. He froze, his mind blank for a few seconds, and all the color drained from his face.
Could it be... Bruce?
He stumbled back, disbelief and dread crawling up his spine.
If Bruce really took Rebecca, what was he planning? What would he do?
A thousand horrible scenarios flashed through Stephen's mind. Regret crashed into him. He should have seen this coming. How could he have been so slow? An hour had already passed before he even started asking questions.

The ending seems abrupt. Is it like a cliffhanger? I was expecting more. A lot of questions are unanswered....
Why is the story tagged as complete when I think the chapters are incomplete and it hasn’t ended yet?...
Can't wait for the next update! 😍...
Honestly, Rebecca's mother needs to be called out for pettiness. At the same time, Rebecca needs to explain her work situation to her mother....
