“Rachel was captured after she left the house. She's still alive, that much we know. Sebastian’s parents told him Rachel would stay alive as long as he was obedient. Otherwise, she would have to die.
“She even said they would occasionally send him voice notes from Rachel to let him know she was still alive.
“Sebastian’s mother personally admitted to all this,” Stanley Batton said.
Hearing all that made Xyla Quest's heart ache painfully. Although she wasn’t there when it happened, she could only imagine how Sebastian Brenand and Rachel Wood must have felt.
Rachel, especially, must have been terrified.
Most importantly, they still had no idea where she was being held hostage.
“How are we sure that they have Rachel?" Xyla questioned with a thoughtful frown. "Maybe they don’t have her at all, but they’re only saying it to threaten Sebastian?”
Stanley shook his head. “They contacted the person who was keeping an eye on Rachel right in front of Sebastian and allowed him to hear her voice.”
Xyla was speechless. These people were ruthless!
“The Brenand family also said that they’d kill Rachel immediately if Sebastian exposed them. He's about to go mad,” Stanley added.
Xyla felt chills down her spine.
The Brenand family was willing to do anything to keep Sebastian and Rachel apart that they'd be willing to go to such lengths.
If everything went as expected, Xyla believed that the Brenand family might even force him to marry someone he didn’t like.
He would become the Brenand family’s puppet.
Everything was unbelievable.
Within a few days, Sebastian and Rachel’s world had turned upside down.
