Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"No, honey, you can't sleep here!" Savannah's nose twisted. She put Kaiden on the ground, rushed to the iron door, and banged on it.

"Help! Somebody out there? Please, help my son!" She yelled but too weak to make a sound.

Looking back, she saw that Kaiden on the ground was already out of consciousness!

She rushed to fetch Kaiden, rubbing his hands and feet, crying, "Honey, you can't sleep, get up! Your dad's coming to save us!"

Kaiden answered her with two grunts.

No!

She couldn't just sit there! She can't let something terrible happened to her young boy.

She must find a way to inform people outside!

But her cell phone had been taken away by the man who had kidnapped Kaiden and her.

Savannah held back her tears, looking around.

She searched every cranny. Suddenly, something blue came into her sight.

Was that Kaiden's kid phone?

Savannah pushed aside a board blocking the phone and picked it up.

Sure enough, it was Kaiden's phone!

The kidnapper apparently ignored that Kaiden had a kid phone with him.

It must have slipped out when the kidnapper dragged Kaiden in.

She checked the phone in surprise. Fortunately, the phone's battery was still at 20 percent power, but the phone reception was really bad.

She moved it around until, finally, one bar came up, and she dialed Dylan.

After two seconds, the phone came to the familiar male voice that slightly trembled, "Is that Kaiden? Where are you? Where's your mommy? Is she with you?"

"It's me..." Savannah said in a quivering voice, trying to hold back her tears.

"Savannah! Where are you? Were you hurt?" Dylan asked anxiously.

"We are in a large refrigerated container, in one of the warehouses on the wharf..." Her teeth chattered from the cold.

Dylan understood why there was a quiver in her voice.

"I've sent someone there to search for you. Hold on, and they will soon find you. Don't hang up. I'll talk to you." Dylan was burning with anxiety.

"Great..."Perhaps because of his promise, she was released from mental tension, and her body was fully relaxed. But she felt colder, and a feeling of drowsiness crept over her.

"Talk to me, baby. Don't sleep!" Dylan's heart sank as her voice faded away.

"Well..." She tried to pick herself up and open her eyes.

Just then, Garwood came in. Dylan paused, covered the mouthpiece, and looked over.

"How about it?" He asked in a low, calm voice.

"There are too many warehouses on the wharf. I've sent extra people to mainly search the warehouses for freezer storage, but there were too many refrigerated containers and freezers in those warehouses there. I am afraid it will take at least two hours to go through them!"

The temperature in a refrigerated container could be dozens of degrees below zero. People might be frozen to death in less than half an hour! What's more, Savannah and Kaiden had been locked up for so long.

"Send more men there. Contact the city police station, call the police to search the wharf together!" Dylan ordered coldly.

"Yes, sir," Garwood responded and hurried out.

Dylan picked up the phone and regained his composure.

"Baby, did you notice your surroundings before you were taken to the warehouse? What did you see or what did you pass by? Could you remember it?" He must find them as soon as possible.

"I don't know... I was knocked unconscious after I entered warehouse 19. When I woke up, I found myself and Kaiden in the refrigerated container." She trembled terribly, and her voice grew weaker.

"Hold on, baby. Tell me, do you have any consciousness after being knocked? You can tell me even the smallest details. Did you hear anything or smell anything? I need to locate you as quickly as possible." He never gave up, trying to dig out reliable information.

Savannah stomped her numb feet and thought about everything after she was knocked down.

"No... I don't know..." Her voice cleaved to her throat, and her mind was blank.

"Don't panic. Take your time." He kissed her over the phone to soothe her. It was as if he was suffering with her. He can't show any sign of weakness to her in this critical situation.

Savannah finally calmed down and paused for a moment before she whispered, "I vaguely remembered I was carried... it's a bumpy road... It took me a while to steady myself..."

"Good, baby, just like that. Take your time." Dylan's eyes were sharp, and his voice was gentle.

Encouraged by him, Savannah had more confidence. She took a deep breath of cold air and continued, "Then I smelled something sweet..."

"What smell?"

"I'm not sure... But it's a lot like... butter from a bakery..." Her voice grew fainter, like a broken string.

She couldn't have stayed awake if Dylan hadn't been talking to her.

A bumpy road and the smell of a bakery? And the freezers... Were they in a food warehouse?

That narrowed the search scope down.

Dylan quickly whispered instructions to the bodyguards next to him.

Then he held the phone to his ear again, feeling that her breathing was even more delicate as if it could break at any moment.

"Hold on, we'll find you soon!" His heart sank.

Damn it! I will kill that person who hurt my family!

He didn't know that how could the little woman and Kaiden endure the chill in a refrigerated container!

But he couldn't let her learn his intense anxiety and overwhelming worry, otherwise, she would be more nervous and lose her confidence.

But there was no response for a long time. He clung to his phone, his heart hanging to the throat.

Finally, there came a weak voice, "Really? Will you find us?"

"Yes. We're on our way, please hold on," He gritted his teeth and assured her.

"You fool me... There are so many warehouses here... How could you find us so quickly..."

"I never fool you. When you come out, we'll get married. See if I'm lying to you." His insides tightened again.
