Bella Injured

The tension in the room increased as Bella moved forward. The woman tightened her grip on Dax, making him wince slightly in pain.

Bella halted, her hand clenched tightly as she quickly tried to think of a way to handle this crazy woman without putting her son in further danger.

'Damn it! Who is this woman?' Bella vents her frustration in her heart. She couldn't prolong this. She had to act swiftly to end the situation and free her son without injury.

"Miss, I don't know who you are or why you've taken my son," Bella said calmly, though her shaky voice betrayed her nerves. "If you want money or anything, just tell me. I'll give you whatever you ask for, miss. Please, I beg you, release my son..." 

Bella had never imagined this would happen to her, and she was terrified right now, but she tried to stay calm.

"I don't want anything from you," the woman responded.
