215 Chapter 215: I will Never Let Her Go Again

Andrew sits in his study and stares at the blue glow of his computer screen. A video of Avery plays over and over: he watches her walking through the streets and getting into a Land Rover. A drone flies over the Land Rover, and he watches the black car pull up outside an elaborate metal gate. The car drives in, and a bodyguard looks up and points at the drone. The drone rises in the air and flies away, and the video goes black.

Andrew sighs and pours more amber liquid into his cup. He swirls it and inhales deeply—enjoying the spiced vanilla smell of the rum. He rubs his chest and feels the frantic beat of his heart. Even a video of Avery has his heart rate out of control. If I get her back, I'll never let go of her again, he thinks.

A bodyguard knocks at the door and enters. The man looks confused, and he keeps looking down at his feet.

"Mr. Clifford, Mr. Howel sent a gift to you," the guard says. "If you look out the window, you'll be able to see it."
