"Hehehe. I knew it was the right choice but follow you, Boss! We'll never have to worry about money ever again. We can eat and drink the finest after this!"
Previously, in the next room, they had collected the first ransom. Each of them would be getting tens of thousands! This was something they could not have imagined back when they were working normal jobs.
Thinking about the possibility of even more money to come, each of them worshiped Stan. Originally, they did not want to go back to this line of work after finally getting out of prison. After all, they had spent so many years inside, and they wanted to start fresh and turn over a new leaf when they got out.
However, they just could not resist the temptation. This line of work brought money in so quickly compared to doing odd jobs. Moreover, they were looked down upon, and after a year of hard work, they would not even save much. It would be even more difficult to send money back home to their families for them to buy new clothes.
Kidnapping was different. This was just the first ransom, and they had earned so much already. Not to mention they had demanded more money from Cedric and Beatrice to ransom back Lucas. Just thinking about it felt so satisfying to the kidnappers.
The other three men, completely drunk, helped Stan to the next room to sleep. Only two men remained, and they walked up to Lucas, Henry, and Claudia with an iron rod in their hands to give them a good beating.
"I warned you three, tonight it's just the two of us on duty. Don't even think about escaping. It's not like you'll get far with your injuries. So you better behave if you want to keep your sorry lives! Got it?"
Henry curled up and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. We got it."
"At least you have some sense." He stood up and said to his companion, "Let's go, it's freezing in here. We shouldn't stay here."
Although their voices sounded sober, Lucas and the others could all smell the strong scent of alcohol on him. It was not a scent one could pick up just from being around it for a while.
The two guards did not stay in the same room as them. Instead, they stayed outside and started a fire. The room was chilly, with the door open and only a layer of wire mesh at the back. All three of them were freezing with the chilly wind blowing through the door.

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...
