Inside the abandoned building…
Lauran leaned forward, a sinister smile tugging at his lips.
Lauran:
"You want to know why your wife left… why she abandoned you all?" 😏
"Even though you were so close… even though your family depended on her…"
Jonathan's fists clenched.
Jonathan: "What are you saying? Amber is not that kind of person! She would never leave her child!" 😡
Lauran chuckled darkly.
Lauran:
"She would never listen to me… but she would listen to your mother." 😈
Jonathan froze. Justin's rope creaked overhead.
Lauran:
"I took advantage of that.
Your mother, Mrs. Devis, was angry at her.
I whispered to her… 'Your mother-in-law wants you to leave the child here. I'll take care of him. Don't worry.'" 😏
Jonathan's eyes widened.
Jonathan: "That… that's impossible!" 😶
Lauran continued, voice low and venomous:
"Your wife didn't even know I was the villain in her story.
I made her leave the hospital… leave Justin in my hands…
And everyone thought she abandoned him without care." 😈
Justin, hanging above, could barely move. His eyes darted between Jonathan and Lauran.
Lauran:
"My master plan worked perfectly.
She had no idea her son's fate rested in my hands."
Justin swallowed hard, fear coursing through him.
Justin: "Still… tied… still helpless…" 😐
Jonathan's chest heaved. Rage, desperation, and helplessness all tangled together.
Jonathan (to himself, quietly):
"The hell… Who can even explain to her who Amber Devis really is?" 😐
He looked down at his son.
Jonathan: "Oh my god… Eric… please save your husband…" 😱
Lauran's smile widened.
Lauran: "Enjoy the view, brother.
The nightmare has only just begun." 😈
