As the quickened pace of leather shoes echoed across the corridor, Asher ran in a cold sweat while trying Amelia's number.

Though the call went through, it was unanswered.

Suddenly, Asher stopped in his tracks and heard the ringing of a cell phone.

His heart raced as he followed the sound to the balcony.

Amelia's phone sat on the ground, unattended. The screen displayed his name due to the call.

"Amelia! Where are you, Amelia?"

Standing on the balcony, Asher shouted her name, but his screams went unanswered.

"Ash, how did Amelia go missing?"

Bella and Justin rushed to the scene. Behind them was an injured Steven. "The security is tight here. All guests are registered before leaving and entering the castle. How did Amelia go missing? I can't believe it. Amelia has to be somewhere in the castle. She can't possibly leave the place."

Driven by panic, Steven was on the verge of a breakdown. His bloodshot eyes welled up.

"It's my fault! I was careless." Blaming himself, Asher pounded his fists on the railing.

"Ms. Amelia will be okay. With Chairman Thompson around, I doubt anyone would lay a finger on his daughter unless the person is looking for a death wish." Justin gripped Bella's trembling shoulders, his lips pursed. "Since her phone is found here, we should start by retrieving the surveillance footage from this area."

Asher's eyes were red. "I'll get to it right now."

"It will take too long. Every minute we waste puts Amelia in further danger." Bella gritted her teeth, sweat forming on her forehead. "Give me a computer with good functionality, Ash. I'll hack into the system. I can cripple not just the surveillance but the security system of the castle too."

Emotions got to Asher and Steven, so it only occurred to them now that Bella was a top-notch hacker.

Drew, a special agent, took Bella under his wing and taught her all she needed to know about computer programming.

Justin stared at Bella in shock, his eyes reflecting his utmost appreciation for her.

His woman was an angel on earth.

He should have been used to the fact by now.

Asher sent his men to deliver the best laptop on the market as soon as possible.

Bella's eyes fixed on the screen as her fingers fleeted across the keyboard.

Three men stood behind her with their heads hung low, staring at her without missing a beat.

Bella inputted countless green codes and hacked into the system without a hitch.

When Justin was in the military academy, he excelled in every training and course, including hacking. However, he doubted he was at Bella's level.

Ten minutes later, the surveillance footage came on the screen.

They were soon stunned.

Several cameras captured Amelia hugging and flirting with a man, and the man was Charles.

"He's an animal!" Justin's eyes were bloodshot.

The strangest thing was Amelia's attitude toward Charles.

Amelia clung to the man's waist, nestling her head on his chest with a smile.

They were too cozy with each other.

Bella's breath hitched as chills went down her spine.

"Amelia and Charles..."

Steven's heart sank, and he shook his head violently. "No... Amelia couldn't possibly accept a vile man like him."

"We know the person Amelia is. I'm sure something fishy is going on."

Bella watched as Amelia and Charles went to the top floor and disappeared after taking a turn.

"Oh, no! Charles is going to do something to Amelia. We must stop him." Unlike his usual composure when handling things, Asher freaked out. Steven felt his world crumbling. Emotions swept through him.

He vowed to kill Charles if the latter were to touch the love of his life. Even if he could not, he would castrate Charles and make Charles wish for death.
