NOAH
My wife was in danger.
I was at work, my entire focus on the virtual meeting I was attending when my phone rang for the first time.
I had ignored the ring, hoping to call whoever it was later. When it rang again, I had felt irritated. I politely excused myself from the virtual meeting to pick up the call.
My intention had been to tell whoever it was to stop bugging me, but the moment I saw who it was, my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach.
Ciara.
I picked up immediately, my heart hammering against me chest. Where was she? Had she finally decided to come home?
Days after the press conference, I had called and called, but her number suddenly stopped being unreachable.
I went to the police and declared her missing, and Luke helped me organise a search party.
No matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find her. Jeremy helped up search for her in LA too, but none of our efforts yielded good results.
