'My children, what will become of you? It seems like this is as far as I can go,' thought Henry.
"What should we do next, boss? This guy is barely alive and not much use anymore. He and that Rivera kid are totally different in terms of value! Damn this useless old man! He's to blame for helping our golden goose escape!"
Stan shrugged off the concern. "Do you think making money is that easy? We'll just catch the Rivera kid again. Is that so difficult? If we could catch him once, we can catch him again. Besides, he's still accompanied by that little loser. With that girl around, how could they have run so far? Start searching along the perimeter of the house. I refuse to believe we can't find them!"
Stan found the whole matter increasingly amusing. He thought he would receive the remaining payment early the next morning. He had not expected these three to have such energy to play a game with them in the dead of night.
'If only I had broken their hands and feet earlier. At least then they wouldn't have been able to run away,' he thought.
"Remember, don't show them any mercy once you've brought them back. Give them a good beating first so that they'll learn not to escape even if there's a chance!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Manny drove the van along the roads. He thought the same as Stan, that Lucas and Claudia could not have gotten far. Thus, as long as he followed the main road, he would find them sooner or later. However, with the early morning still dark, it was proving difficult to spot them.
"Shh! Quick, hide. I hear a car coming!"
Lucas swiftly pulled Claudia down into the bushes. Even though the ground underneath them was damp and sticky, they dared not make a sound. They waited for the car to pass. It would be fine if it was the police, but if it was the kidnappers...
Claudia's heart was in her throat. She desperately hoped it was the police coming to rescue them. However, her heart sank when the headlights illuminated the road, and she saw that it was a van.

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...
