Chapter 10 - THE NIGHT CLARA DISAPPEARED

The kidnapping happened three days later.
I was leaving the charity foundation's office.
The parking garage was nearly empty.
My phone buzzed.
Dante.
I smiled.
Then answered.
“Hello.”
His voice was warm.
“Clara.”
I laughed.
“Are you checking on me?”
“Maybe.”
I smiled.
“I'm leaving now.”
A car engine started behind me.
I turned.
A black SUV rolled forward.
My stomach tightened.
“Dante.”
His voice changed.
“What?”
I backed away.
“There's a car.”
The SUV accelerated.
I ran.
A door opened.
Someone grabbed my arm.
I screamed.
The phone fell.
May you like
Dante shouted my name.
Then everything went dark.
