Dina:
“My daughter was kidnapped. I searched for her, went out of my mind, and filed a report with the police. But on my way home, I was the one taken into a car—by a terrible, unfamiliar stranger, who said:
‘Sit still and don’t move. Take back your statement and say that the child has been found. Otherwise you won’t see your daughter again. They’ll return her to you if her father agrees to our terms.’
That’s when I realize: the goal of the kidnappers isn’t me or my daughter—it’s my ex-husband.
Of course—what could they possibly need from an ordinary teacher? But my ex is a big figure in the construction business.
‘Now call him and explain the situation,’ the thug demands. ‘Tell the daddy to help the little one. All he has to do is sign one document.’
Only I know for certain that my ex wouldn’t lift a finger for me, much less for the daughter he doesn’t want to know. For five years I haven’t heard a word from him. If I ask him for anything, he’ll just laugh. I try to explain it— but the scoundrel pulls something out from under his jacket. A second later, cold steel presses against my forehead, and I realize too late that it’s a pistol. From sheer terror, I choke on my own words.
‘Call him!’ he orders.”
