Carrying Lily out of the precinct.
He looked at her sitting in the backseat. Without a proper booster seat, the seatbelt couldn't even secure her. He paused. "Mommy is perfectly fine. Do you want to play a game with me?"
Lily looked at him.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Sebastian said, "I'm going to drop you off with an uncle to play."
He checked his watch. "Starting from right now, in exactly five hours, I promise your mommy will be standing right in front of you. Your job is to keep track of the time and see if I keep my promise. Sound good?"
Lily had a watch too and immediately checked the time.
"Okay. Pinky promise."
Sebastian turned around, hooked his pinky around her tiny finger, his dark gaze deepening. "So starting right now, I'm going to test your memory. From the moment you and Mommy went out today, where did you go? What landmarks did you see? What did you eat? Where did you lose her? What kind of car did you take? A ride-share? A taxi? The subway?"
His voice was as steady as someone telling a bedtime story.
It easily soothed the child's anxious heart.
Although Lily didn't understand why he was asking, she thought about it seriously.
She started with, "Mommy rented a car today."
Sebastian's eyes flashed. "Got it. Alright, I'm going to take you to that uncle now, and then the timer starts, okay?"
Gripping the straps of her bear backpack, Lily nodded firmly.
Sebastian sat back down, his gaze turning predatory as he stared at the road ahead.
The kidnappers were clever. They targeted Raelynn but didn't dare touch the Hudson family's prized child, ensuring they didn't completely enrage the Hudsons while leaving themselves an out.
As for who it was...
Sebastian's face was devoid of emotion.
He dropped Lily off at the Yves family's place.
But not the main estate.
He took her to Julian's private villa.
After checking if Julian had found any leads and telling him to hurry back and watch the kid.
Sebastian focused on the most prominent car rental agencies in Seaport City.
Every rental car had GPS—that was his lead.
Using his connections, the search was lightning fast. He found Raelynn's registration info and the car's last known location: an underground parking garage, right in a blind spot for the security cameras.
To figure out how Raelynn was quietly taken, they had to review every single vehicle entering and exiting that garage.
She realized there was no one else around.
Which was incredibly strange.
She had been drugged.
Right before she lost consciousness, she identified the drug as Sevoflurane—a highly regulated, potent anesthetic capable of knocking someone out in seconds.
Her attackers had come fully prepared.
Yet now, there was no sign of the kidnappers.
She didn't have time to overthink it.
Raelynn kicked the car door open with all her might.
She stumbled out.
Looking around, it was completely desolate.
There was no city noise; she was in the middle of a remote wilderness.
The sun was setting, and a primal, terrifying fear began to claw its way out from deep within her.
It suddenly reminded her of her childhood, when Silas Vance had dumped her in a strange place just like this, leaving her to fend for herself.
Mustering every last drop of her strength, Raelynn made sure the coast was clear and started running blindly in one direction.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
