The line went dead.
Grace was trembling all over.
*What do I do?*
*Call the police?*
*Yes, the police.*
With a shaking hand, she dialed a familiar number—Elliot.
Elliot had recently been transferred to Jarrow City’s Criminal Investigation Division and was one of her few friends.
“Hey, Grace?” Elliot’s voice was tinged with surprise. “I saw the news, you absolutely killed it in Cardenia…”
“Elliot, help me.”
Grace’s voice was broken. “Julian kidnapped my grandmother… Please, save her…”
Elliot’s tone instantly turned serious. “Don’t panic. Tell me everything, slowly.”
Ten minutes later, Grace hung up with Elliot.

In this world, at this critical moment, there was only one person who could suppress Julian with the utmost speed, one person who could even make him hesitate.
Damien.
The man she had just told to never contact her again.
Grace found the number saved only as a period.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
“Grace?”
Damien’s voice was uncertain.
“Damien…”
