At the dining table, Sofia avoided eye contact with Shawn, who kept smirking at her.
"What did you do to Rachel?" she asked, her brow furrowed in concern.
Shawn's smirk deepened. "Back to where she belongs."
"What are you going to do now?"She asked, Her gaze remained fixed on her plate.
Shawn's eyes locked onto Sofia's. "Focus on you." Sofia's head jerked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "What, are you surprised?"
"What do you mean?" Her face scrunched in confusion.
"Exactly what you heard." His tone was matter-of-fact. His eyes remained fixed on Sofia, his gaze piercing.
"Please don't focus on me."
His smirk returned. "Why not?" He teased, his tone playful.
"Can we change the topic?"
His eyes sparkled with amusement. "Do you want to?" He smirked, and Sofia scoffed, continuing to eat.

Two days later, Sofia and Mabel chatted at the canteen. Mabel's face was etched with concern.
"I know what my sister did was wrong, but she won't stop regretting her actions."
Sofia's face was sympathetic. "Yeah, it's a good thing Shawn didn't drink the juice."
"Who did?" Her eyes narrowed.
Sofia's face was calm. "I did."
Mabel's eyes widened in shock, her mouth hanging open. "What? You did? How?"
"When I returned home from the beach that day, I was so thirsty, and I found the chilled juice on the dining table and drank it by replacing it with another one."She said, her tone casual.
Her face was a picture of astonishment. "What happened after you drank it?"She asked.
Sofia's face was grateful. "I can't remember, I was lucky Shawn was by my side."
"Oh my."She said surprisingly.
Later in the day, Shawn returned home, entering his room and taking off his shirt when a knock interrupted him. One of his men entered, looking pale and worried.
"Yes, what is it?" Shawn asked, his tone firm.
The man remained quiet, and Shawn turned to him, noticing the scared look in his eyes. Shawn's face darkened, sensing that something was wrong.
Few hours back, after school hours, Sofia and Mabel said their goodbyes before Mabel left with her driver. Sofia was about to enter hers when she suddenly felt pressed and rushed to the restroom to ease herself.
After she was done, she flushed the toilet and came out to wash her hands. Suddenly, she was attacked from behind and fell unconscious. She was wrapped up and put inside a big trash can, which was rolled away through the back door of the school building.
After minutes of waiting, her assigned guard decided to check up on her. He searched for her but she was nowhere to be found. He became scared and restless, his face etched with worry.
He called her cell phone and heard it ringing in the restroom. He traced the sound and picked it up, wondering where she had gone to. His eyes scanned the empty restroom, his face twisted in concern.
Shawn's face contorted in shock after his men told him what happened to Sofia. He clenched his fist and stared hard at him, his eyes blazing with anger.
He paced around the living room, confusion and anger boiling over. His men stood in the living room, their heads bowed in fear.
"You will have to go out there and find her, I don't care how you do it, make sure she is brought back here!" He yelled, his voice thundering through the room, and dismissed all of them. "F*CK!" He groaned angrily, slamming his fist on the table.
Meanwhile, in a very dark room, Sofia lay on the floor, her legs and hands tied up, still unconscious.
"Are they complete?" A voice asked from the darkness.
"Yes, boss, the five ladies are ready," another voice replied.
"Good, prepare them and make sure there is no mistake," the first voice instructed.
"Sure, boss." They left the room, shutting the door behind.
The next day, Shawn's men searched all through the night for Sofia, but there was no trace of her. Shawn went to the school and ordered them to check the CCTV footage.
He was taken to the room, and the clip of when Sofia entered the restroom was shown to him. Afterwards, it became blank.
"Why is it blank?" He asked furiously, his face red with rage.
"I guess it's faulty," the man in charge said.
Shawn's eyes narrowed. "Are you kidding me? Are you trying to say your CCTV camera suddenly developed a fault when she entered the restroom?"
The man flinched in fear. "We are sorry, sir, we don't know what happened."
Shawn's tone turned deadly. "You are sorry? Someone is missing, and you are telling me you are sorry?"
One of the professors intervened. "Calm down, sir, I am sure there is a mix-up somewhere."
Shawn stared at him, his eyes blazing with anger. "I should calm down?" He scoffed. "How do you guys run this school? A student is missing, and you are telling me there is a mix-up?"
The professor's face turned pale. "We will try our best to find her, we have seen cases like this, and we noticed most of them disappear to go hang out with their boyfriends for days."
Shawn's face twisted in rage. He suddenly grabbed the professor's neck, and he struggled.
"You have five hours to find her, or else I will use you as a scapegoat," Shawn threatened, his voice low and menacing.
He pushed the professor off and left. The professor fell on the floor, trying to catch his breath.

Back to Sofia, who was still unconscious, soon she started to regain herself as she heard voices.
"Is she waking up?" A voice asked from the room, its owner's face twisted with concern.
"She should be," Another voice replied, its tone neutral.
"Should we splash water on her?" A third voice asked.
"We can't, our hands and legs are tied too," The first voice said, scrunched in frustration.
Sofia opened her eyes weakly, her face contorted in pain. She groaned.
"She is waking up," The second voice said, her tone lighting up with hope.
"Hey, wake up," The first voice said, its face leaning in close.
"Where am I?" Sofia asked weakly, her eyes scanning the room.
"Hey, are you ok?" The second voice asked.
Sofia managed to open her eyes and scanned around the place to see four ladies leaning against the wall, their hands and legs tied up. Their faces were etched with fear and worry.
"Who are you?" Sofia asked weakly, her eyes narrowing.
"Try and sit up," The fourth voice said, encouraging.
Sofia managed to sit upright, her face pale. Then, reality set in as she noticed her hands and legs were tied up.
"What happened? Why am I tied up?" She asked, her voice shaking.
"We have no idea, we were brought in here the same way you were brought," The first voice said, her face scrunched in confusion.
"What do you mean?...Are you saying we were kidnapped?" Sofia asked, her eyes widening.
"I guess so," The third voice said, her eyes falling.
Sofia panicked as she suddenly remembered what happened. "Oh no, what is the meaning of this," She said, her voice rising, and tried to untie herself.
Just then, the door opened, revealing three masked guys. The ladies flinched in fear.
"Please, what do you want from us?" The fourth voice asked scarcely.
"Be quiet and don't ask us stupid questions," One of the guys said, his voice firm.
"Why are we here? Did you kidnap us?" Sofia asked curiously, her eyes locked on the guys.
The guys smirked and left, shutting the door behind.
