The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Agh!" screamed Joey.
Despite his cry, Anya pulled him harder by his hair. "My boy has changed. He's now a liar who lies to his own mother! Bad boy!"
"No... I didn't..." Joey's body was trembling.
Anya threw her head back as she cackled. "You didn't? You dare say that you didn't lie to me? Do you really think that I have no idea what's going on in the Holden family? Your daddy hasn't been staying with you all at all! He ran away with another woman! That b*tch thought she could live happily ever after with Jeremy after she had stolen him away from me? In the end, she lived like a widow in that house for years! Hahahahahaha... Serves her right! She deserves this!"
"Y... You're hurting me..." Joey felt that his scalp was turning numb as if his hair was about to be torn off by the crazy woman.
Anya pulled even harder and growled, "Serves you right! That's what you get when you lie to your mother! Don't you dare lie to me ever again, got it?!"
While Anya was torturing Joey, Jeremy and Corinne arrived at the empty port beside the river bank. It was a dead end and vacant since it was already late at night.
"This is it!" Jeremy and Corinne got out of the car and looked around, but they found nothing.
Corinne gasped when she saw the river. "The kidnapper must've thrown the phone into the river after making the call out of concern he's been traced."
Jeremy agreed with the theory. He looked at Corinne and said, "Let's keep searching. Since that guy didn't ask for ransom, there must be a good explanation for why he took Joey away. Before he gets what he wants, Joey should be safe."
"What exactly does he want, then?" Corinne was worried sick. She squatted at the riverside and cried with her face covered.
Even though Joey was the eldest among the four kids, he was also the most sensitive and timid one. The abuse he experienced when he was under Anya's care haunted him for a long time. He was finally getting over those terrible nightmares, yet the kidnapping happened. To say he must have been extremely frightened would be no understatement.
Jeremy squatted beside her and pulled her into his arms. "Don't cry. I'll find Joey and bring him back safe and sound, I promise..."
After sobbing for a while, Corinne suddenly raised her head as a thought occurred to her.
"Anya Rivera! Could she be behind all this?"
"Anya?" Jeremy was startled.
