There was a look of utter resolve in Beth’s eyes – the kind that came from someone ready to
die.
She was still trying to figure out how to hold the men in black off when the sound of hurried footsteps echoed again from outside.
“Sir, apologies
–
we’re late.”
Westin burst in with his men, quickly surrounding the black–clad group.
Baron saw the dirt and blood on Westin’s clothes and knew they’d been through a fight. Now wasn’t the time to ask questions. His voice was cold and sharp. “Take them all back.”
“Yes, sir!”
At his command, Westin’s men surged forward.
The men in black hadn’t expected Westin to return reinforcements.
―
– much less with such skilled
They tried to resist, but within moments, they were subdued.
Only when Beth saw them pinned to the ground did she finally exhale, her legs nearly giving out beneath her.
Baron carried the boy in his arms and started toward the exit.
As he passed Beth, he said coolly, “Follow me.”
Beth froze for a second, then hurried after him.
There was something about this Witch Doctor the cold, commanding aura around him
reminded her of Mr. Baron.
–
Are all powerful men like this? She didn’t dare think too much about it.
Westin saw Baron approaching with the child and immediately stepped forward.
“Sir, let me take him.”
“No, I can’t let go of him right now. Get in the car; we’re leaving.”

“Yes, sir.”
Westin quickly organized the retreat.

Beth couldn’t understand why Westin, who clearly worked for Natalie and Baron, treated this Witch Doctor with such deference; but so long as he could save her son, nothing else mattered.
Once they were in the car, Baron said curtly, “Call Shauna. Tell her to take Natalie and head straight back to Ocean City.”
Ocean City, after all, was Luke family territory.
The Stone family had returned to invest there, and Payne still had influence to get close to Beth and her son would have to think twice.

anyone trying
Before this incident, Baron hadn’t been in a rush to leave; he’d even allowed Natalie to visit Beth and her son, thinking it harmless. At most, while Natalie rested, he’d perform the surgery and let Beth owe her a debt of gratitude — and once she did, getting the truth out of her would be easy.
But what had just happened made one thing clear another minute of danger for Beth and her child.

every extra minute they stayed here was
If those people had dared to abduct Natalie right out of the Ocean City police station, what would stop them from acting even more recklessly here? The thought of Natalie in danger again made Baron’s composure crack.
Westin didn’t know exactly what had happened, but he followed orders and immediately called Shauna.
When Shauna heard his voice, she knew something had gone wrong on Baron’s end.
She hurried into Natalie’s bedroom, snuffed out the calming incense, opened the window to clear the air, and then gently woke her.
“Madam, Mr. Baron had to take care of something urgent; he asked me to bring you back to Ocean City at once.”
Natalie was still half–asleep, her eyes dazed. But when she heard Baron’s name and the urgency in Shauna’s tone, she woke up completely.
She glanced around
—
Baron wasn’t there.
Natalie knew his identity was complicated, and she herself was now caught in some kind of conspiracy. She had no idea how to handle it; all she knew was that whatever Baron said, she

would follow
“Is he in danger?” she asked quietly.

Shauna shook her head. “Madam, every day Mr. Baron steps out, danger’s always a possibility; whether he’s safe or not, I can’t say.”
A faint unease tightened in Natalie’s chest.
“What else did he say?”
“Just that we need to return to Ocean City immediately.”
At that, Natalie threw off the blanket and began putting on her shoes.
“Then let’s go. Tell the others to pack up.”
Shauna had expected Natalie to ask more questions and had already prepared what to say, but Natalie’s decisiveness caught her off guard.
That unwavering trust in Baron – that absolute obedience – earned her a measure of respect
from Shauna. Read complete version only at.net
Meanwhile, Baron told Westin to drive straight to the airport; but their luck didn’t hold.
The moment the car turned onto the road leading there, Westin noticed headlights in the rearview mirror cars tailing them, closing fast.
–
“Sir, we’ve got company. Doesn’t look friendly.”
“Lose them.”
Baron had already anticipated that whoever was behind this wouldn’t let Beth go easily.
Beth was the only loose end left – and possibly the key to something far bigger. Otherwise, why would they use a child to threaten her?
