"Our lives are in your hands, so why wouldn't we be afraid of you?" Lucas remained calm, without a hint of agitation, which sounded like a challenge to the kidnappers.
"Ha, I underestimated you. Even in this situation, do you still think about trying to escape with your girlfriend? Do you really think we're just ordinary kidnappers? Let me tell you, each of my men here has blood on their hands… "
Before the leader could finish his sentence, Claudia whimpered, startling Lucas, who glared at her in alarm.
"Tsk tsk tsk, looks like you're not fearless either, huh? You really care about your girlfriend, don't you? But I get it; if I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I wouldn't want her to fall into the hands of rough guys like us too."
Mentioning Claudia caused Lucas' expression to finally change. "You promised me earlier that you wouldn't harm us. Only when we are both safe can you get the rest of the money."
However, Lucas seemed to suddenly anger the leader, who swung his baseball bat fiercely at Lucas's back.
"Ah!"
Lucas was suddenly knocked down, and before he could react, the blows continued to rain down on his back.
Meanwhile, the other kidnappers took the opportunity to remove Claudia's blindfold, making her see what Lucas was going through, ensuring she would not dare to escape.
"Stop, stop it! You haven't received the ransom yet. What if he dies?"
Blood trickled from the corners of Lucas' mouth as he struggled to look in Claudia's direction from his position on the ground.
Claudia's eyes were swollen from crying; she was overwhelmed by the terror of it all. She should be at home with her family, so how did things turn out like this?

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...
