Vivian finally figured out the reason behind Finnick's seemingly absurd behaviors all this while. The bunch of kidnappers was the investors who had suffered a great loss after investing in Finnor Group.
They were there to get their revenge. In order to get the better of Finnick, they kidnapped Vivian because they couldn't get their hands on him.
They were aware she was the one he cared about the most. Thus, they were certain they could get their revenge by kidnapping her.
Ever since Finnor Group returned to its prime, those who sought revenge had been going after those affiliated with the company. In order to protect Vivian, Finnick had no choice but to resort to such desperate measures.
When she figured out the rationale behind his actions, she stopped holding a grudge against him and felt heartbroken instead.
She was upset he had been dealing with all these on his own, keeping her in the dark.
The kidnapper couldn't take it anymore. He urged, "Hey! Stop wasting our time and get in touch with him already!"
However, Vivian refused to give in to their request. In spite of being slapped in the face, she stood her ground.
The helpless kidnapper had no choice but to make the call on her behalf. He announced, "Finnick, your wife is here with us! If you want to keep her safe, make your way over on your own at once!"
The kidnapper proceeded to send Finnick the address of their whereabouts. They had no choice but to wait for Finnick.
Meanwhile, Finnick, who was supposed to pretend he was in love with Lexi, ditched her when he heard the bad news. He made his way over to the designated location immediately.
Vivian was in a tight spot-as much as she wanted him to be there for her, she was reluctant to put him at stake.
She was afraid they would force him into submission the moment he showed up.
After she surveyed the surroundings, she noticed there were at least twenty kidnappers there. If Finnick's here, isn't he doomed?
Although she secretly hoped he wouldn't be there, to her surprise, he showed up after fifteen minutes.
Has he been speeding his way here? How did he manage to reach within such a short time?
"Why don't you name your price? As long as you set my wife free, I'll give you the things you desire!”
Finnick's heart skipped a beat when he saw Vivian after he reached the location. He was afraid they would harm her.
Since he was the one they wanted, he was determined to negotiate the terms with them to set her free.
