“Your father-in-law decided to marry your wife off to Mark. The wedding will be held tonight at the Green family mansion. This is your last chance to redeem yourself. If you miss it, you’ll lose her forever.”
“Why did you call that bastard? He doesn’t deserve Rachel!”
The line cut off abruptly.
“David, you’d better hurry back,” Jessica said. “We’ll keep searching.”
I nodded and drove home as fast as I could, speeding recklessly, ignoring every traffic law.
On the way, I called my friend again.
“Check Rachel’s circle of friends. Has anyone gone missing lately?”
“David, I was just about to call you. One of Rachel’s closest friends suddenly disappeared without a trace.”
“Who?”
“Sophia Lee.”
“It’s her?”
My frown eased instantly.
All the questions that had haunted me finally clicked into place.
“Good. Do me another favor—send people to…”
After giving my instructions, I hung up, went home, showered, and changed my clothes.
Meanwhile, my mother sent a dozen frantic messages urging me to hurry to the Green family mansion before it was too late.
By the time I arrived, darkness had fallen.
Just as I was about to enter, the Green family’s bodyguards shoved me back roughly.
