Slowly, Frederick and Vanessa began to wake up, disoriented and confused. None of them could recall what had happened or how they ended up there. Everything was a blur–their last memory was fleeing through the crowd to avoid going to prison after losing their case. 

As they opened their eyes, Frederick and Vanessa noticed they were inside a luxury car equipped with state–of–the–art technology. 

“Love, where… where are we?” Vanessa asked, looking around in an attempt to recall. 

“I don’t know, Vanessa,” Frederick said, his mood brightening as he saw they were alone in the car. Looking back, he saw two gym bags. When he opened them, he found stacks of money inside. “Yes!” 

“Love, is this a dream?” she asked, excitement in her voice. “It looks like Vox set up the whole trial to make that idiot think he won, and he’s helping us escape.” 

“It seems so,” Frederick said, closing the bag and settling back into his seat. “Who would have thought he’d be stupid enough to give us all this?” 

“Maybe it’s our lucky break. This new Vox is probably his son, and he never knew what we did to his father.” 

“Better for us.” 

“Though I’m a bit worried. How do we repay him for all this, or what will he ask in return for his help?” 

“Nothing.” 

“Huh? What do you mean?” 

“We’re getting out of here before he comes to collect,” Frederick said confidently. “Remember, that idiot left us with nothing.” 

“But love….” 

“We’re leaving because the police are likely looking for us. We’ll let things cool down, then return to take revenge on Deborah by kidnapping her little brat and asking for ransom,” Frederick explained. “Once we have the money, we’ll send half to Vox.” 

“I like that plan, love… But I still don’t understand how that idiot has so much luck. How did she end up tangled with the most powerful family in the city if she’s nothing special?” 

“Forget about that, Vanessa. What matters is that it benefits us because we can demand a large ransom. And it’s guaranteed to be a high amount.” 

“True, and when we have the money, we’ll return the dead kid so that she knows who’s in charge and that we’ll never let her be happy.” 

“Exactly. That idiot should have died, and we would have been living a luxurious life, leaving our past behind… but no, she clung to life.” 

“What matters is that this will be our new beginning, though that will only be reality once we save our children.”

“Everything in its time, love. Now help me find the car keys,” Frederick said, opening the glove compartment to look for them, but finding nothing. 

Vanessa also began searching, realizing they were locked inside the car. Being a new model, only the keys could activate the vehicle and open the doors. 

“I can’t find them…”
