Chapter 74: When hope is lost

Chapter 74: When hope is lost

Mckenna stared at herself in the mirror. She looked like she had aged in a matter of hours. The phone call she just had with Naya and Chike did nothing to improve her mood.

They had instructed her not to pay the ransom instead to stall for as long as she could.

They asked her to risk her family's lives. Mckenna didn't want to, It was just money. Mckenna knew that if she could find the money then she could convince Kane to let them go.

She opened the tap and splashed water on her face. She was dressed for work. She needed to carry on with her day like nothing was wrong so she doesn't draw suspicion. 

Mckenna wiped her face with the white towel she took from the wardrobe in the bathroom. Even though she just took a cold bath, she felt like she was on fire.

She entered her bedroom. Elena was there waiting for her. Mckenna had texted her to come that morning.
