Lucas's calm demeanor truly bewildered several of the kidnappers. After all, Lucas and Claudia's lives were in their hands, so they had no reason to fear him.
The leader, the one they all referred to as Boss, had a particularly terrifying scar running across his face, almost splitting it in half. He held a sharp knife in his hand and tapped it against Lucas's face provocatively.
"I doubt you'd dare to play any tricks on us. Where's the card? Which pocket? Maybe we'll consider loosening your restraints once we get the money."
Claudia trembled on the side, feeling the kidnappers getting closer and closer. She wanted to move closer to Lucas for safety, but her efforts were in vain. While Lucas had his blindfold removed, Claudia was still considered insignificant by the kidnappers. They paid her no attention, let alone loosen her restraints or remove her blindfold.
Claudia's fidgeting irritated the leader. He slapped her hard, sending her crashing to the ground.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, you little wench? I'll teach you to move around! You better watch yourself, or I'll drag you out and shoot you! I'm sick of these damn crybabies. Have we done anything to you yet? Do you think we're playing house here?" he raged.
At that moment, a skinny and eager-looking man sidled over. "Boss, if you don't want to see this chick, can we take her out?"
Lucas could not believe they entertained such despicable thoughts. He started panicking. "I can give you the money. My grandpa can prepare a lot of money, but all of this has to be under the condition that our safety is guaranteed. You can't touch the girl either!"
Claudia, knocked down by the man, dared not make a sound. She only whimpered softly, afraid that if she made a sound, the kidnappers might get angry and really take her away.

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...
