At the latest report, his body tensed. Silence stretched before he finally flicked a hand, dismissing Kenny to keep searching.
Once the door shut, Andrew leaned back, exhaustion pressing down on him. He let out a slow, frustrated sigh, fingers pinching
the bridge of his nose.
At first, he’d thought Lena leaving was just another tantrum–angry that he’d married Nicole.
But now, after all this time, she was still gone.
And for the first time, her words echoed back at him.
‘I won’t like you anymore.‘
Back then, he’d shrugged it off. She was obsessed with him–she wouldn’t actually leave. It was just a game, a cry for attention.
But now…
Now he was the only one who hadn’t taken her seriously.
His gaze drifted to his desk. There used to be a framed photo of him and Lena in the corner. He’d trashed it the second she
confessed her feelings, replacing it with his wedding picture with Nicole.
His eyes swept across the office.
There used to be traces of Lena everywhere.
Now, just like her, they were gone.
His fingers curled into a fist before he grabbed his phone and dialed Benjamin’s number.
Lena had been entrusted to him. If something had happened to her, he had to take responsibility.
But before he could even speak-
“Sorry, the number you dialed is no longer in service…”
The line went dead.
Andrew froze.
A sharp unease crawled up his spine. His grip on the phone tightened, then slowly loosened.
He and Benjamin had always been close, despite their age gap.
How?
How had he been blocked?
He sat there, searching for an answer, but none came.
Then-

A knock.
Kenny reappeared, lugging a large box.
“Mr. Rohan, a package arrived. The sender insisted only you could open it.”
Andrew frowned, his gaze flicking to the box.
The moment his fingers brushed the string tying it shut, his heart slammed against his ribs.
Something was wrong.
Something terribly wrong.
For a second, he hesitated.
Then, jaw tight, he untied the string.
And the moment he saw what was inside-
His eyes widened.
