Ace/Liam's POV

I pull up at the gates and roll down the window to speak to the security.

"Good morning, I'm here to pick up Ms. Anderson" I say and show my ID for approval

"Sir, Ms. Anderson left about an hour ago" the security guard says

"She left? She didn't tell me anything, this must be a mistake" I say getting worried

"Not a mistake sir, she already left" he says again

"Did she say where she was going or if she's coming back?" I ask

"No sir" he confirms

Then the phone at his booth starts to ring

"Yes?" he answers

He then starts to get a worried expression,

"No mam, he's right here asking to come in, I will let him in right now" he says looking at me and opens the gate

'What happened?!" I ask him

"Molly wants to see you" he says

I drive up to the driveway and park the car in the front. I run to the door and see Molly pacing back and forth

"Molly what happened? Where is she?" I ask worried

"Liam, Liam I don't know! Security is telling me she left at 6:20am, where would she go that early without telling us? Did she tell you anything?" she asks me worried

"No Molly she didn't tell me anything" I answer

"I'm so worried Liam." she says still pacing back and forth

Then she stops and turns to me

"There-there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Alex didn't want you to know so that you don't worry but, Liam, I'm afraid someone has been blackmailing her for the past few days. Yesterday, we received a threat, someone wrote on the windows and I think she's been getting calls or messages as well. She hasn't told me much but there's definitely something going on. I think this is very serious-" I cut her off

"Molly! How could you not say anything!?" I yell angry

"I-I'm sorry, she made me promise not to tell you and-and I thought bringing extra security around the house would be enough. I don't know if her leaving early without telling us has anything to do with it or-" before she finishes what she was saying, her phone starts to ring

"Its David Zay" she says looking at the caller ID

"Answer it!"

"Hello? No she  left early morning, have you seen he- WHAT?!" Molly yells and passes the phone to me

I take the phone and speak

"David, it's Liam. What's happened?" I ask

"Liam, I just received a call from the bank asking for an approval for a large cash withdrawal for Alex. I approved it, but I've been trying to call her. She wont answer. I wanted to know if everything is alright? We never spoke about such a big withdrawal, especially so early in the morning. It seems a bit weird to withdraw from the business account. If she needed the money, she would just take it out of her personal account" he says
