In the center of Devonport City Hospital, a doctor said to the man in the bed, "Mr. Burke, your injury isn't too serious, but you must avoid any strenuous activity for a short while. I recommend you stay in the hospital for observation."
James wasn't focused on his injury at the moment. The sound of an incoming message on his phone caught his attention.
He unlocked his phone and saw an unread text message. The message, sent last night, read: [Sophie is being held by Odie in Duskhaven.]
James' face turned pale the moment he read the message. He thought the status update Sophie posted was because Colby had rescued her.
But, to his horror, it turned out Odie had captured her!
"Mr. Burke! You can't get out of bed yet! You—"
The doctor couldn't stop James. As James limped out of the room, ignoring the pain in his leg, someone outside quickly came to his aid, saying, "Mr. Burke, where are you off to in such a hurry? Just give me the orders, and I'll handle it."
"Book a flight immediately. I need to go to Duskhaven!"
Colt's expression darkened, and he replied, "Mr. Burke, the company is in chaos. Bea has taken over all your responsibilities. You can't just leave now! You need to stay in Devonport and take charge!"
"Out of my way!" James pushed past Colt.
James looked so determined. Colt stepped forward, trying to reason with him. "Mr. Burke, if it's something urgent, let me handle it. I can take care of it..."
"Odie has taken Sophie, and they're in Duskhaven. I have to go!"
When it came to Sophie, Colt realized he couldn't stop James. He tried to calm James down, saying, "Just wait in your room for a moment. I'll book the next flight to Duskhaven, and then I'll accompany you there."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
