mel, this has to be some landed joke, right? Come on, this isn’t funny. 1 now I messed up this morning, but Nattle and I are just friends. Please, believe me
High didn’t slow down as he spoke, his eyes searching everywhere, trying to find Kelly hiding somewhere.
Then, it hit him. So many things were missing from the villa, including the photos of them together and all of Kelly’s things. Everything was gone!
How? How could everything just disappear like that?
Hugh felt like Ise was losing grip on reality. The dream he’d had earlier that afternoon hit him again.
Desperate, he grabbed his phone and tried dialing Kelly’s number, but all he got was an endless series of beeps. His hands shook as he texted her, only to see a single gray check
Rehad blocked him, too.
Hugh’s eyes widened, his body trembling as panic slammed into him like a freight train. He mindlessly scrolled through his phone, searching for her on social media, but everything was gone. She’d erased all her accounts!
His mind went blank. He can through everything he knew, but couldn’t come up with a single clue as to where she might be
Kelly’s father had passed away when she was young, and her mother had died a few years ago after a long illness. She didn’t have any family left, so Hugh’s only shot was reaching etto her friends.
“Hey, it’s Hugh. Is Kel there with you?”
“What? Why would Kelbe here?”
The same confused replies came, over and over.
Hugh even reached out to his friends, but none of them had a clue where Kelly had gone.
Despair hit him Be an unrelenting wave, crashing over him repeatedly. It was like being trapped in that nightmare where Belly was gone.
His feelings for her were overwhelming, and with her disappearing so suddenly, it felt like part of him had been ripped away, leaving him in agony. The pain was so intense that it almost felt like it might shatter him.
“Kel, knock it off, okay? I just want to see you!” Hugh shouted, his voice hoarse, his eyes bloodshot with emotion, looking like someone who’d just lost their other halt. Why? How did everything fall apart?
All the moments he’d spent with Kelly recently ran through his mind. He suddenly recalled every time he’d put Natalie first and brushed Kelly aside. He remembered the day Kelly had overheard him speaking Idrenian with Joel and how she’d suddenly frozen.
“Did Relever pick up Idrenian? Hugh asked.
Seeing how worked up he was, the housekeeper answered camiously, “Ms. Kessler’s been studying foreign languages for years. She even brought in a tutor. Didn’t you know, Mr. Johnston
Abuzzing noise echoed in Hugh’s and as something inside him snapped.
