Franklin the Secret Courier Chapter 26
The blowing wind grazed Vina's face, which had already turned pale from enduring the cold. Her back also felt stiff because Vina was forced to sit for hours on that dilapidated chair. The smell of dust wafted through, but Vina had managed to get used to it. However, the girl was not yet fully conscious since twelve hours ago after a man had given her a sedative. Not knowing the dosage, but the kidnapper had also grown weary of waiting for Vina to wake up.Now, the girl who had just come of age blinked. The cold state of the room forced her back to reality. Even though Vina felt a pain in her head, she immediately gasped."Mom..." Vina looked around her surroundings.But, there was no one to welcome her. Instead, Vina found a masked man sitting in front of her. Suddenly, Vina felt her heart pounding faster and irregularly."Huh? Who are you?" Vina stared intently. When she tried to point, she only then realized that her body was tied with a fairly strong rope."Hey, what are you doin
Franklin the Secret Courier Chapter 27
Past problems caused the Franklin family to be terrorized with Vina's kidnapping as the beginning. However, they still did not understand the situation that occurred, and even the perpetrator could not be guessed.Two days had passed, and Vina's whereabouts were still unclear. At the same time, Steven—the man who was once suspected of being the kidnapper—also disappeared. Clara had initially dismissed her suspicions, but based on the information obtained, it turned out that Steven had been missing for two days without explanation."The police also couldn't find my brother's last trace," Franklin complained.Since losing Vina, Franklin no longer worked as a drug or illegal weapons courier. His job as a package courier was also hampered, although Franklin was still in a safe position because Mr. Tio, his boss, did not reprimand him."I'll look for Steven," Clara stood up.Her statement drew Franklin's attention, and the man looked up and asked, "You said he wasn't involved. But why do y
Franklin the Secret Courier Chapter 28
As Vina woke up from her often uncomfortable sleep, she was unsurprised to find a woman she knew very well - her mother. While Vina might have hoped to be reunited with her mother again, she certainly didn't expect it to be in this dusty, damp, abandoned building where she was being held captive.Vina's hands had been bound for two days, the tight ropes cutting into her wrists. But upon seeing her mother also tied up, Vina tried to move closer to her. "Mom! Oh my god! Mother!" Vina cried hysterically, shaking her head as if to wake from this nightmare. "No! Mom! Why are you here?!" Her wailing seemed to rouse her mother from the effects of the sedative she had been drugged with the night before. In a confused daze, Mrs. Franklin was shocked to see her daughter Vina inching towards her."Vina, dear?!"Vina nodded, moving even closer. "Mom, why are you here?!"Her mother didn't recall the events that led to her being imprisoned with Vina either. One moment she was comfortably in bed, t

"He's...really my uncle."Clara was stunned as Franklin confirmed the information obtained by her secret agent. Clara may have been familiar with greedy sibling rivalries over inheritance, but this was happening to Franklin - a simple man who still worked as a package courier when Clara asked him to work for her for exponentially higher pay."Didn't you ever suspect him?" Franklin shook his head, he had no bad memories of Frans. However, the last time he saw Frans was when Franklin was little, and his photo matched the one the secret agent sent Clara."That was his face the last time I saw him, Clara. Now he must be older and I don't know what he looks like.""Really? So you haven't seen him in a long time?"Again, Franklin confirmed it. "Mom took me and Vina away to this city because my father passed away when we were still young kids." Clara tried to understand the situation Franklin described. From his explanation, there was nothing suspicious about Franklin. According to Clara,

Ouch!Clara winced when she saw Franklin's cheek grazed by the sharp knife of his sparring partner. Even though it was his first time, Franklin was handed over to Margareth, the woman who acted as a trainer at Clara's training center. This woman was highly skilled at wielding a knife tightly in her hand."Aren't you being too harsh, Margareth?" Although older, Clara still addressed all her subordinates by name. There were no honorifics when working with her. That was the principle Clara held in carrying out her work."Didn't he himself ask me to fight like a ferocious enemy?"Clara gave a wry smile. Perhaps she felt a little sorry for Franklin, who was overwhelmed facing Margareth. He had even gotten two gashes on his cheek and right arm while trying to parry."He's very amateurish, are you really recruiting him as a drug courier?" Clara leaned against the rack, folding her arms and crossing her legs. She focused her attention on Franklin, who was being given alcohol to clean the g

Days had passed, this was the fifth meeting since Franklin seriously trained in self-defense. After deciding to focus on finding his Sister and Mother, Franklin's days revolved around the training center, Clara's apartment, and Vina's school to search for clues.Franklin never once forgot about Vina and his Mother's existence. However, at that time Frans, who was Franklin's uncle, Franklin tried to find information about the man whose whereabouts had long been unknown."It's unusual for him to work so slowly..."Clara fiddled with her phone, bombarding the intelligence agent assigned to inform her about Frans, Franklin's uncle. However, for almost a week, the agent had never given any definite news."What's wrong, Clara?" Franklin asked, seeing the sour face of the woman who had been so kind to help him."Don't you want to go to the training center?"Franklin's focus shifted when Clara instead asked about the routine training. The man rolled up his long sleeves and showed a fresh scra

"It turns out he hasn't come home all this time."Frans crumpled the dusty white envelope that had been left hanging, consumed by the alternating day and night air. He had placed that photo since kidnapping the mother of those two children, Vina and Franklin. However, it turned out that since their mother went missing, Franklin had not returned to his home.The paper portrait showing Vina and her mother's condition was crumpled into a ball. Now Frans had to find Franklin's whereabouts instead. He had been too careless thinking his nephew would stay put at home since losing his two loved ones."Damn it!" Frans threw away the crumpled photo ball. "That brat! Just adding to my workload!"Frans hurried back to the building where he was holding Vina and her mother captive. He had tracked dozens of leads but they had all been dead ends. Yet, the portrait showing Vina's mother's dire condition—brought to show Franklin. Frans had hoped that by sending those photos, seen by Franklin, it would

"These photos...are so cruel! Even in the underworld there are rules, Franklin. Vina is still underage and shouldn't be on any hit list if this kidnapping really was human trafficking." Clara was aghast as Franklin brought the tattered paper photos showing Vina's condition. In her dire state, Vina's kidnapper had clearly tortured her and intentionally photographed it to send to Franklin."This is bait for you," Clara said. "To lure you to meet your sister's kidnapper."Franklin looked up, glaring angrily at Clara. Throughout her career in that sinful world, Clara had never involved children or teenagers. No wonder she was furious."If this was Steven's doing, I'll kill him! He should know the rules about this! That bastard!"Clara stabbed a meat carving knife into her dining table. Franklin flinched, truly seeing her enraged. Though earlier she had seemed hesitant to blame Steven for this case."I'm going to meet Steven," Franklin stated."Don't be an idiot!" Clara snapped, pointing

Clara, who faithfully accompanied him during his recovery, prepared to take Franklin home.Just as Franklin was ready to be discharged, the hospital room door suddenly opened and Selena appeared. She was carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers in her hand. She smiled when she saw Franklin, "Hi, Franklin. I'm glad to see you're better. I came to see you."Franklin smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you, Selena. I'm glad to be home too."Clara, who was standing beside Franklin, felt something strange when she saw Selena. Although she tried hard not to show her feelings, her heart was filled with jealousy. Selena always seemed to be close to Franklin, and even though they were just friends, Clara couldn't help but feel uncomfortable every time she saw their closeness.Seeing the change in Clara's expression, Sarah, who

As her eyes fell on Clara, who sat quietly by Franklin's bedside with eyes puffy with tears, Sarah felt something different in her heart.All this time, Sarah had always objected to Franklin and Clara's relationship.

The wound was still too deep for Sarah to heal, and it made it difficult for her to fully accept Clara.However, now, seeing Clara faithfully stand by Franklin's side, h

"We have to separate them, no matter what we have to do."Ronald nodded slowly, although in his heart there was hesitation. He understood that Charles had personal reasons to hate Franklin, but Ronald also knew that Clara was a strong woman and not easy to manipulate.

After a long and tense journey, Clara finally arrived in front of the Franklin family home. She glanced at Franklin in the passenger seat, who still looked tired and shaken by all the events they had just gone through. Although Franklin was trying to remain calm, there was obvious worry in his eyes. They had just escaped Amanda's clutches, but what awaited at home might be no less nerve-wracking."Franklin, we're here," Clara said softly, breaking the silence. Franklin nodded, trying to compose himself for a moment before getting out of the car.When Franklin and Clara got out of the car, the front door of the house was wide open. Sarah, Franklin's mother, and Vina, his younger sister, stood in the doorway. Their faces instantly changed from shocked to full of emotion when they saw Franklin. Vina immediately ran to her brother, hugging him tightly."Brother Franklin! You're alive! We thought you were...," Vina's voice was cut off by the sobs she couldn't contain. She had been devastat

Franklin stood still when he saw Clara in front of him. His face was filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe that Clara was really here, in this remote village. After everything that had happened, this meeting felt like a miracle. Meanwhile, Clara looked at Franklin with a mixture of relief, anger, and anxiety. The tears she had been holding back now began to well up in her eyes."Franklin... Are you okay?" Clara's voice sounded hoarse, full of emotion. She came closer, almost wanting to hug Franklin, but something held her back. Maybe it was the feeling that this was too surreal, or maybe it was the haunting sense of dread.Franklin nodded slowly, still rooted to the spot. "I... I didn't expect us to meet here. Clara, I really don't know how to explain everything. It's like a nightmare."Clara reached out and took Franklin's arm. "We'll get through this together, Franklin. I won't let anyone hurt you again."However, the moment was suddenly interrupted by a rustling sound around
