Ava could do nothing but stay still as the bodyguards took Lukas away, despite the boy's vigorous protest. It was for the best, they said.
"Well then, I'll take my leave," Ava said, about to leave her spot. She felt uncomfortable surrounded by these large men with intimidating faces.
However, Ava was taken aback when two of the bodyguards spread their arms, blocking her path.
"I'm sorry, Miss! But our boss said we have to bring you to him," the head bodyguard said to the hapless girl.
"Oh my god," Ava groaned. "This is all a misunderstanding! Don't accuse me of things I didn't do! The boy himself came to me and forced me to accept him for an overnight stay!"
"Whatever it is, you better explain it to Mr. Montgomery himself," the leader of the guards replied. "I'm just following orders."
The head bodyguard snapped his fingers. Ava's hands were bound behind her back. She could only submit and obey. She could imagine this consequence if she was late to take Lukas home.
