PopularNovelSince it was a work-related issue, Nina didn't hold it against Nash. She arranged for the nanny to take care of Orion and told Nash that she was going out with sof Orion's classmates' moms. While she was still in contact with Nash, the car had already driven out of the city. Nina felt puzzled. "Weren't we supposed to go shopping?" "You see, ma'am, that PTA president tends to change plans at the last minute. If she didn't, I wouldn't have had to wait for you back there, right? Don't worry, their car can't go that fast. We'll catch up to them." As he spoke, the car turned onto a narrow country road. Nina looked around but saw no villages, only a road leading deeper into the mountains.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she was about to ask a question when the narrow road turned into a wider highway, leading to a gas station.
The bearded man pulled in to refuel, and Nina seized the opportunity to try calling Madison, but there was no answer.

Nina looked up, surprised to see one of Pharaoh's men. She was about to step out of the car to greet him, but the bearded man finished refueling and started walking back. Nina quickly signaled Pharaoh's men to leave. There were two of them, originally sent by Pharaoh to watch over Nina and Orion. They hadn't expected to run into her on the road. Seeing the bearded man drive further into the mountains, they quietly followed.
After driving for a long time, they finally stopped at the base of the mountain, where two other cars were parked. Nina pointed at the vehicles and asked, "Is Madison and your wife in one of those cars?" "We're a little late. They've probably already headed up the mountain. Con, ma'am, I'll take you up. There's a church on top where they're going to pray for the kids." A church here? Nina had never heard of one in this area. The narrow, winding road made the journey difficult, and the higher they went, the more the path disappeared. There was no way there could be a church up this rugged trail. Clearly, the bearded man was lying.
"I just sent a message to Madison. She said she's at the shopping street downtown. Are you sure you've got this right?" Nina leaned against a tree, gripping a thick branch, and coldly eyed the bearded man.
Realizing he was caught, the man let out a sinister laugh. "Only now you're figuring it out? A bit late for that, don't you think? Be smart and followup the mountain, or I'll take care of you right here and then bring you up for the others to enjoy." "And that woman isn't your wife, is she?" Nina wanted to confirm if this was a random kidnapping or part of a larger setup. When she saw the bearded man smirk, she understood immediately.
This was a trap, and she had walked right into it.
The man approached her, and Nina quickly tried to defend herself. However, she had underestimated his strength.
He was a martial arts expert. After just a few moves, he disarmed her, snatching the branch from her hands and delivering a painful blow with it.

The two men who had been following her emerged from the shadows, attacking the bearded man from both sides. Within moments, they had him pinned to the ground. en With the man underfoot, Nina crouched down, lightly tapping his face as she asked, "How many people are up there?"
"Five. We thought you were alone and have figured we could have sfun. We were wrong Please, ma'am, letgo."
The bearded man tried to cover for Madison, but Nina Nothing wasn't one to let things slide.
She smiled slightly and nodded to her men. "Take care of this. I'm not going And remember, up the mountain. And than unton Aracles make sure no one traces this back to you." She had more important things to deal with than climbing the mountain.
Madison had taken their petty field day rivalry to a dangerous level.
If she was willing to go this far, Nina no longer saw any reason to hold back.
