NOAH
I saw the video the next morning after Ciara left.
I had not been able to call her when she left because her phone was with me, but I did try to look after I got myself together.
The first place I had checked was the bakery. Ciara had no where to go, and a part of me was sure that she would be there.
But I had underestimated her pain and how much this incident was hurting her. She wasn't at the bakery, and when I called my sister to confirm if she was with her, Harriet said she hadn't seen her either.
For one long, horrible moment, a part of me thought that maybe she had gone to Marcus. Afterall, he had asked her to meet up with him after sending the video.
It made no sense, but it was possible. A large part of me recoiled at the thought though.
She would not be with Marcus, not after that nasty trick he pulled on her the last time.
I was worried sick. I was losing my mind. My entire world was crumbling to pieces, and I still had no idea where she was.
