10.
The man impatiently went to answer it, but it was just the front desk delivering something to the wrong room.
He quickly returned, and as he started to touch my leg, there was another knock. This time, it was a complimentary dinner from the front desk.
The man angrily told the front desk not to disturb him again.
On his third return, another knock sounded.
He didn’t want to answer, but the persistent knocking forced him to open the door. The moment he did, the door was kicked open, and Liam quickly subdued the man.
The front desk, who was my downstairs neighbor and had been suspicious when she saw me being brought into the hotel by my parents, had called the police. To buy time, she kept knocking on the door.
The police found chat records between my parents and the man on his phone. They wanted to exchange me for 200,000 to save Logan.
Liam told me that after taking Logan back, they didn’t convict him for assaulting an officer. Instead, they detained him for a few days before releasing him.
After being released, Logan bought a plane ticket to flee abroad, but was kidnapped by a gang on the way to the airport. They were decisive and sent one of his fingers to my parents by courier.
Mom fainted upon seeing the finger. The gang demanded 500,000 in ransom for Logan’s life.
It turned out Logan had used the money from the foreclosure home to gamble. Initially, he broke even, but eventually lost twenty consecutive
times.
The 500,000 was almost gone, but my parents couldn’t gather enough money. They sold all their property, even borrowed from loan sharks, yet were still short 200,000.
The police had intended to release Logan to lure out a serial killer and the criminal gang he gambled with. After Logan was kidnapped, they
acted immediately.
But the gang, thinking Logan’s parents had called the police, cut off two more of his fingers and threw them in front of my parents.
Desperate, they turned their attention to me.
Liam kept apologizing, not expecting my parents would go so far.
After taking Logan back, the serial killer surprisingly turned himself in, confessing all his crimes and revealing a major case.
He had a long–missing daughter, and after filing a report without results, he discovered she was kidnapped and imprisoned.
The case was buried due to the involvement of influential people, so he sought justice himself, killing those involved. He found many besides his daughter.

His daughter, traumatized, needed money for treatment.
Hearing about the 500,000 hidden in the foreclosure home, he was close to getting it for his daughter, byt Logan squandered it in days.
Hearing about the 500,000 hidden in the foreclosure home, he was close to getting it for his daughter, but Logan squandered it in days.
Too late to deal with Logan, and with no hope left, his daughter eventually took her own life.
Devastated, he chose to surrender.
Thanks to his efforts, the case gained attention. All involved received their due punishment, and the rescued girls got enough financial–aid for treatment.
My parents were sentenced to ten years for human trafficking, and the 200,000 they earned was confiscated.
Logan survived after treatment, but–faced multiple charges, likely spending the rest of his life in prison.
I didn’t visit them. Now, without my interference, the three of them could finally “reunite” in jail.
When I returned to my new home, a neighbor knocked on my door.
It was Liam, holding a bouquet of flowers and some fruit, smiling warmly at me.
“Congratulations on your new beginning! From now on, live for yourself!”
