Walter's attention had been solely on Evangeline throughout the entire cruise party. As the festivities wound down, he realized he had neglected to spend time with his good friend Caden. With a sense of duty, Walter answered the call.
"Walter, where the heck are you? Don't tell me you invited us on this cruise and then decided to play hide-and-seek," Caden's voice came through, half-joking, half-annoyed. Walter could not help but smile, unfazed. "Of course not, I'm here. Just got tied up with some stuff and couldn't make it until now. How about we catch up over a drink now?"
Walter tossed out his idea with such ease, his breezy voice hiding the fact that he would rather be anywhere else.
Who would ditch their wife to hang out with a buddy, right?
"Look, the drinks are just a bonus, Walter. I have to know: What's the deal with you and Minnie? You even invited her to your birthday bash. Don't tell me the gossip's true... you're looking to trade in Evangeline?" Caden threw the question out there with a laid-back vibe, but the question itself was dead serious.
The moment the words left his mouth, Walter knew something was up. "Caden, how on earth did you find
out Minnie was on the cruise?"
Walter had brought Minnie aboard much earlier, when it was just the Gordon family on the ship, and he had taken care of Minnie's situation in a snap.
Caden could not have seen Minnie, not unless...
Minnie had slipped out!
Caden, clueless about the drama on Walter's end, continued with the conversation, "You don't know? Minnie was strutting around the dance hall, turning heads left and right. How could I miss her? Walter, hope everything's alright?" By the end, even Caden sensed trouble brewing.
Minnie on the cruise had to mean Walter had allowed it. However, Walter was in the dark....
"Can't chat now, gotta bail on tonight, buddy. I owe you one for the drinks, we'll catch up later!" Walter cut the chit-chat, ended the call, and dialed up David.
The moment Walter heard the click of the call connecting, he did not even let David get a word in.
"David, get to Minnie's room, now! Check if she's there and call me back, pronto!"
However, just three minutes later, Walter's phone rang with news that sent a chill through his veins. Minnie, who had been knocked out unconscious with a sedative and locked in the cruise ship's VIP suite, was gone!
Walter was on his feet in an instant. He quickly made sure Evangeline was safe before storming over to Minnie's room. The room was untouched, spotless, except for the rumpled bed that showed someone had been sleeping there. That could only mean one thing: Minnie had walked out on her own!

David's eyes swept the room. As the truth hit him, rage bubbled up inside.
He was in charge of Walter's plans, and he knew just how crucial Minnie was to Walter. His face turned a shade of thunderous blue, and he landed a hefty slap on the nearest bodyguard's cheek. "You had one job: keep an eye on her!" he bellowed. "How on earth did you let her slip away?"
