Ethan paced the floor of his office, his mind racing as he grappled with the grim reality of the situation. The abrupt and calculated disappearance of Emily and Mia weighed heavily on him, and he couldn't shake the feeling of helplessness.
His thoughts swirled, considering every possible angle of who could be behind the kidnapping. He was certain it wasn't his father, even though him and his father don't get along well he knew the old man very well to know that Anthony Dante, would never stoop so low to harm his own family. The deep love Anthony had for Mia was evident in how he pampered her, a stark contrast to his and James own upbringing.
Mia was the apple of Anthony's eye, a precious gem among the Dantes forget Anthony Dante even James never jokes with anything concerning mia. The uncanny resemblance she bore to their late mother, Anthony's beloved wife, only intensified the grandfather's and the brothers adoration.
Yet, even if Anthony was innocent, Ethan couldn't ignore the growing list of potential enemies from the alliance, a group of ruthless business owners with various motives and grievances that his father brought together just to pressurize him. They were relentless in their pursuit to bring down Sterling Enterprises, and Emily and Mia's abduction could be a sinister play in that game.
Fueled by determination, Ethan knew he couldn't stand idly by. With a deep breath, he stood up, his voice unwavering as he told Mike, "We're going for a visit."
