Marcus pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at Sada.
He saw a young woman who worked tirelessly every single day.
She never complained about her long hours or hard tasks.
He knew she was raising her younger brother all by herself.
Marcus: Where do these people operate?
Sada: They are connected to an old debt my uncle left behind.
Marcus: How much do they want from you?
Sada: Fifty thousand dollars, sir.
Sada wiped her face with the back of her trembling hand.
She felt embarrassed to share her terrible life problems with her boss.
Marcus was a wealthy CEO who guarded his personal life fiercely.
He walked toward his home office with quick decisive strides.
Marcus: Come inside and sit down right now.
Sada followed him slowly while staring at her phone screen.
The clock was ticking down every precious second.
Marcus opened his desk drawer and pulled out a secure tablet.
He dialed his private security team immediately.
Marcus: I need a location track on a phone line right now.
Security Chief: Sending you the signal trace in ten seconds, sir.
Sada watched in total shock as Marcus handled the situation.
She had always thought he was cold and distant.
Now he was using his vast resources to protect her family.
Sada: Why are you helping me like this?
Marcus: Nobody threatens anyone under my roof, Sada.
He looked at her with pure determination in his dark eyes.
Marcus: My family suffered from extortion many years ago.
Marcus: I swore I would never let bad people win again.
Sada felt a small flicker of hope inside her heart.
The security chief called back with exact coordinates.
Security Chief: We found the vehicle near the old industrial park.
Marcus: Surround them quietly and bring the boy home safely.
Security Chief: Understood, Mr. Vance, team is moving in now.
Marcus turned back to Sada and offered her a bottle of water.
Marcus: Drink this and sit still.
Sada: I cannot just sit here while Toby is scared!
Marcus: My men are the best in the business.
He stood by the window overlooking the large front driveway.
The minutes felt like long agonizing hours for Sada.
She prayed silently with her hands squeezed tight together.
She remembered Toby’s big smile when he left for school that morning.
If anything happened to him, she would never forgive herself.
Marcus kept his eyes glued to his phone screen for updates.
Suddenly a loud notification chimed in the silent room.
Marcus: They have the boy, he is unharmed.
Sada let out a loud gasp and burst into fresh tears.
Sada: Is he really okay?
Marcus: They are driving him here right now.
A black SUV turned into the neighborhood street at high speed.
Sada stood up so fast her chair slid back on the floor.
She ran toward the grand foyer with her heart pounding hard.
