It was unclear how much time had passed before they arrived at their destination. Both Lucas and Claudia were thrown into a room together. After the kidnappers brought them to their destination, it seemed as if they had been forgotten, just locked away.
Lucas was never one to sit idly by. Once he sensed that there was no immediate danger, he began to move cautiously, but the ropes binding his hands and feet were tight. The more he struggled, the more he felt the roughness of the ropes, yet he could not loosen them.
Meanwhile, Claudia was overwhelmed by fear and began to sob softly.
"Don't be afraid..." Lucas struggled to utter, unsure if Claudia could hear him clearly.
However, upon hearing Lucas's voice, her crying softened a bit.
Squeak!
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Lucas immediately stopped moving and turned his head toward the source of light.
"Boss, let them make a phone call. They come from wealthy families. Tell them to prepare 15 million dollars. Then we can live without working for the rest of our lives!" one of the kidnappers said.
The other two chuckled, imagining a future where they would not have to worry about anything after completing this job.
"Don't worry. Now that we have them, they'll give us whatever we ask for. And if they dare to call the police, we'll just kill them. Worst-case scenario, we'll just rot in prison for the rest of our lives. Let's just see who has more to lose!"
Lucas's heart skipped a beat. These people were outlaws, willing to risk everything for money. Claudia trembled uncontrollably, and even Lucas could hear the sound of her teeth chattering.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
