100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 796  Get Mia Back

Day Eighty-Three…

~~*****~~

Jane's blood ran cold after she heard Vincent's ridiculous demand. 'How dare he use my daughter to threaten me like this?! I will never forgive him. I hate him to the core!' Jane gritted her teeth, tightening her grip on the phone.

Her heart pounded in her chest, fury mixing with fear. She could tell that Vincent was serious with his threats.

"Jane… what I am asking you is too simple," Vincent said. "Marry me, and you can be with our daughter. Or, be with Nathan and you can forget about seeing her again." He reiterated his conditions.

Jane's vision blurred with rage. The thought of her daughter, Mia being used as a pawn in his sick game ignited a fire within her. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "You bastard," she hissed. "You think you can just take her and make demands, Vincent? You have no idea what you're dealing with. I'm going to take her back no matter what!"

"Hmmm. You can try and challenge me, Jane. Let's see how long you can endure being separated from Mia again. She is also my daughter. I raised her. She will choose me over you," Vincent said smoothly, a sinister undertone in his voice.

He chuckled darkly. "Oh, but I do know, Jane. I know you'll do anything for her. And that's why you're going to choose wisely."

Her entire body shook with anger. She felt the heat rising to her face, her breathing becoming more erratic. "I will get her back and you will pay for this, Vincent," Jane declared through her gritted teeth.

"I look forward to seeing what you decide," Vincent said, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. "You have 24 hours."

The call ended, and Jane stood there, with mixed emotions. She felt a scream rising in her throat, but she swallowed it down, her mind already formulating a plan. She couldn't allow Vincent to win.

Sensing that something was wrong with Jane, Nathan immediately approached her. "Hey, calm down. We will find Mia."

But Jane's face turned ashen. "Vincent took my daughter. And now, he is forcing me to choose between Mia and you."

Nathan's face contorted as soon as he heard that. His heart sank and his rage surged up. His half-brother was playing dirty tricks, using an innocent child to get what he wanted.

"A selfish bastard," Nathan uttered, clenching his jaw.

"So what will you choose?" Nathan asked her, his voice so low. Then he averted his gaze, afraid of seeing the answer in her eyes.

Jane took a deep sigh, holding his hands. "Of course, I will choose you both. I will save Mia. And I will marry you, Nate. I will have to die first before he can take away my loved ones from me."

"Mom?! Dad?! Did I hear it right? Mom, are you going to marry my Dad?" Ethan's voice echoed from behind. He overheard Jane's last words. His innocent eyes were sparkling with joy and anticipation.

Both Nathan and Jane answered him in unison. "Yes, we are going to marry each other!"

Ethan jumped and clapped his hands as he couldn't contain his joy.

"Uncle Tatsumi! Uncle Tatsumi!" He called him and excitedly shared the good news with him.

"Yes, Ethan? What's wrong? Have you found Mia?" Tatsumi asked them, clueless.

"My Mom is going to marry my Dad! They will become husband and wife!" Tatsumi was taken aback for a moment, darting his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Jane. After he recovered from the shock, Tatsumo smiled at them awkwardly and said, "Congratulations. Best wishes!"

Jane and Nathan nodded at him.

Jane crouched down, holding Ethan's shoulders. "But we can't celebrate yet, Ethan. I must get Mia back first."

Ethan bobbed his head in agreement. "Don't worry, Mom! I will help you track her location. I bought a tracking device in Country J and I personalized it. I upgraded its features. I gave one device to Mia. Through this, we can find her soon!"

"Huh? Then why didn't you tell me that earlier? I panicked, thinking I wouldn't be able to see Mia." Tatsumi grabbed Ethan's shoulders and shook him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ethan shrugged his shoulders to remove Tatsumi's hands. He took a deep sigh and replied, "I tried telling you earlier, Uncle. But you are not listening to me."

Shaking his head helplessly, Ethan turned to Nathan and Jane, showing them his phone screen.

"Mom! Dad! Here… this red light is Mia's signal while the blue one is mine. Whoever kidnaps Mia, they are still near. We can still tail their vehicle."

Jane's eyes lit up, wrapping Ethan in a tight hug. "Thanks, Baby! I owe you this!" She gave him a peck on his nose.

Ethan was overjoyed since he made Jane happy. "You are always welcome, Mommy. I'll give you each one tracking device so that if someone gets lost or missing among us, we can still find each other."

Ethan gave his father and Jane his custom-made tracking device. It was in the form of a bracelet so no one would think that it was a tracker. It won't also alert the metal scanner because of the upgrade Ethan did to the devices.

"I have a genius son," Nathan blurted out as he assessed the bracelet.

"How about me, Ethan? I don't have one?" Tatsumi butted in.

Ethan shook his head. "This is exclusive only for the four of us… my family!" He explained.

Tatsumi: "..."

"Alright! Let's move. We have kidnappers to chase!" Nathan's voice was urgent, reminding them before they sprang into action.

Nathan, Jane, and Ethan quickly piled into one car while Tatsumi had already taken off in a different vehicle, leading a separate team. In addition, Nathan had mobilized his men, instructing them to secure all possible escape routes Vincent's underlings might use.

Jane took the driver's seat, her hands gripping the wheel tightly. Her foot pressed hard on the accelerator, and the car surged forward, the engine roaring in protest. The speedometer climbed steadily, creeping well past the speed limit. "Wear your seatbelts, guys!" She reminded the boys.

"Aye, Mam!" Nathan responded with a smirk while Ethan bobbed his head obediently.

Nathan sat beside her, his phone in hand, coordinating their pursuit. He continued giving orders into the device, ensuring that every exit and back road was covered. His jaw was set, and his eyes flicked between the road ahead and the screen of his phone. 'I won't let you take away Jane from me, Vincent. We are going to stop your evil schemes.'

Ethan, seated in the back, could feel the intensity radiating from his parents. He glanced out the window, the city blurring into streaks as they sped through the streets. He wanted to help, but he knew that staying out of the way was the best thing he could do right now.

"Hold on, Ethan. Are you alright, Baby?" Jane called out, checking Ethan from time to time through the front view mirror. She was concerned about his safety that's why she tried her best to concentrate on driving.

"I'm okay, Mommy Jane. Don't worry about me. Focus on your driving." he reassured her.

Meanwhile, Nathan glanced at her, a flicker of admiration crossing his face. "You're doing great, Jane. Take the next left," Nathan instructed, his voice calm but firm. "They're heading towards the industrial district." Jane nodded, her heart pounding. She made the turn, the car skidding slightly but maintaining its speed. She could see the distant car of Vincent's men now.

"Are we close to them? Is that the black vehicle in front?" She asked Nathan.

Nathan's eyes narrowed as he looked ahead. "Yes. The signal is coming from that vehicle. We're going to get them."

Meanwhile, Vincent's men contacted him when they finally noticed the speeding car tailing them.

*Ring*

The phone was answered!

"Boss! Someone is on our tail! I think they found us!"

Vincent frowned when he heard that. "How's Mia?"

"She is fast asleep, Boss." He informed him. Then he glanced at his comrade. "Hey, drive faster. They are very close. Don't let them cut us!" He instructed the driver.

"Mia had just come out of the hospital. Don't let her wake up. She might still be traumatized by the car accident. I'll send you backups. Tell me your location."

"Just don't let them catch you," Vincent added in his authoritative voice.

"Got it, Boss!"
