"I believe I can accommodate your wishes. Our society is ruled by law, after all. Do you think you stand a chance of escaping if you kill her? "I should also remind you that I, and this woman here, are two witnesses. You'll be spending the rest of your life in a dark prison cell if you go ahead with what you plan to do. I suggest you consider whether you'd prefer to make a deal withor spend a lifetbehind bars." Roland's nostrils flared as he was provoked by Lucas' condescending demeanor.

Listen to what I say, and sparethe irritation of your pretentious expression. I'm not an idiot." Monica's heart raced. She could see Penny's kicks weakening under Roland's grip. "Release Penny first, and then we can talk about your demands! We're not here to provoke you. All we want is to discuss this with you. Please release her, and we will continue our conversation." Roland glanced at Penny, thinking she was already dead. He immediately released her, but then pulled her back by her shoulders.
"Don't cany closer! I'll make sure she comes out of this alive if you don't call the police. Please understand that I never wanted to do this in the first place, but I have my reasons for doing so." Roland panicked, and his mind was in disarray. His statements seemed inconsistent as he displayed arrogance one moment and pity the next.
Lucas frowned as he struggled to comprehend the man's intentions.

Monica attempted to soothe Roland's emotions. "Okay, okay! Let's all try to understand each other's situation here. Tell us what you want. We'll do our best to fulfill them." Though Monica knew that she could only say all that because Lucas was with her, she understood that Penny's life took precedence above everything else. She cast aside her pride to try and calm the kidnapper's mood.
As Lucas remained silent, she decided to initiate a dialogue with the kidnapper. Meanwhile, Lucas would patiently wait for an opportunity to subdue the kidnapper at the right moment.

"I know things must be challenging for you. Perhaps another woman hurt. m you. But it isn't wise to condemn all women simply because of one woman! Why don't you share what happened with us? We might be able to help you.
"Besides, if you've been hurt by one woman, you shouldn't force yourself down a path of no return. She'll only laugh at you. You're the only person who can decide your path in life. There is no need to ruin your life for this." Roland stared at his hands in a daze after hearing what Monica said. 'What am I doing?' he thought to himself.
