Grayham’s POV

It’s been over 12 hours since Mile’s scheduled trip to Thailand and right now, I was standing in the café, staring at the phone in my hand.

I heaved a deep sigh, placed my ego at the back of my mind, and finally called his number.

A beeping sound came on. “This is Miles, Leave a message.”

I heaved another sigh and contemplated whether I should go ahead and leave a message since the call went into voicemail or I should just hang up.

But if I hung up, I wasn’t sure if I could muster the courage to call again so I cleared my throat loudly, rested my back against the counter, and began to speak.

“Hello, Miles. How’s Thailand? I hope you’re having a good time. There’s a large body of water there so you would want to stay closer to the buildings because someone might randomly give you a shove and then you’ll end up inside the water.” I said and then laughed over the silly joke.

I then continued.

“Something happened this morning and I feel you should know about it. So I found a

    Grayham’s POV“It’s open,” I told Max immediately after pushing the door inside. I entered and he followed closely behind. I slowly closed the door and then turned to him.Max who was supposed to accompany me in my little exercise of snooping around had his entire gaze fixated on the wall. We waited for Candence to leave the room before we entered.Meanwhile, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that she stepped out yet Max and I didn’t catch a glimpse of her or where she went.Max turned to me with his lashes flickering in amazement. “Did she always have those pieces in her bag or did she draw them when she got here?”I sighed, went to the table, and started pulling out the cabinets. I had no idea what I was looking for but I just needed clues on where to find Miles. I had a deep conviction that he was here the night he disappeared.Max walked to the end of the room and knelt. Then he turned to me. “You should come check this out,”I sauntered toward him and was about to

    Grayham’s POV“I knew it!” Max yelled and fist bumped the air.I sighed and went closer to him. “It’s not about what you think or what is real. Right now, we need to do something. That girl is a walking time tomb,”I had just told him about my entire conversation with Elis, Candence’s mom.Max turned to me. “I thought she never lied to you,”Wait, Candence never lied to Miles? They must be close, and no wonder she’s obsessed with him.“Well, she just did. She lied about the exhibition in Tokyo and also broke out of the asylum,” I replied, ensuring my voice's pitch was very low. “She didn’t tell me her ailment got worse,”We were both standing behind the counter.Max sighed and held my hand. “Come with me,” he pulled me away from the counter and started dragging me toward the staircase.“What are you doing?” I tried to free my hand from his clutch but Max won’t stop pulling me.We reached the top of the staircase then he turned to me. “You’re going to confront her. As a friend, it’s yo

    Grayham’s POVAfter I left the Wilson mansion, I hailed a cab and went back to Kaden home. The sun was already shining brightly and by the time I reached the café, it was busting with customers. Max and Shirley had their hands full. I acknowledged Shirley who was walking by with a serving tray with a nod and walked up to Max.“Any luck?” He dropped the glass he had just wiped on the table.I shook my head. “I’m afraid not,”Max sighed and dropped both his hands on the table. “I hope he’s found soon,”“Thanks for your concern,”Max grabbed his towel and resumed wiping the glasses. “I might not like him but he means so much to you,”“I’ll go freshen up and then come and take over from you,” I said.“It’s fine. You can grab some sleep too. I don’t mind being here,” Miles replied.I smiled and aimed for the staircase. It was kind of him to assist me but grabbing a nap was the last thing on my mind right now. Until Miles is found, I’m not sure if I can even blink.I got to the second floor

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    MILES IS MISSING

    Grayham’s POVI quickly got out of the cab and entered the café. A few customers were seated around the tables, while Candence sat in a corner sipping coffee.Immediately after I walked in, she dropped her mug and came forward.It then occurred to me that all the customers had mugs in their hands. I roved my eyes around and noticed that Max was not in the room.I turned to Candence. This could only mean one thing. She was the one who served the customers.“Thanks,” I told her.“You’re welcome,” she nodded and folded her arms across her chest. “What’s the matter? You left in a hurry a while ago and you look troubled,”I sighed and began to stroke my forehead. “You remember Grayham? My friend?”She nodded.“He’s missing,” I supplied.Candence gasped.She was shocked. Well, I was still shocked too that Miles could have gone missing in such an unexpected way.I cleared my throat. “Can you hold up this place for a while. Max is going to show up any moment now. I need to get inside and chec

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    A MANIAC

    Mile’s POVDark!The first thing I saw when my eyes opened was darkness. When I blinked, it felt as if my eyelids were soaked in pepper. I tried to look around my surroundings but for almost a minute, I couldn’t fully grasp where I was.Slowly, the wares in the room began to manifest amidst the smoke and dust. I caught one window glued to the wall but it was shut, preventing any light from getting into the room.I inhaled the dust rising through every corner of the room but couldn’t puff out because my mouth was sealed with tape. I couldn’t feel my hands. They were strapped to the chair behind me.Reality instantly dawned on me. I have been kidnapped, tied to a chair, and placed in a strange room.But how was this even possible?I made it to Kaden Home safely after I got Grayham’s call. I went to Sam’s quarters last night but he wasn’t in his room so I booked an Uber instead.The vehicle arrived in front of the house and I stepped out. He drove to Kaden home and I remember reaching th

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    MISSING

    Grayham’s POVCandence has a look in her eyes. A look I’ve never seen before. Her jaws tightened and it felt as if her eyes were harboring fire. I stared intensely at her until her eyes softened.I sighed. “Please, just get the hell out of here,”She got up, collected her clothes, and hugged them tightly then traced her way out of the room. Immediately after she stepped out, I ran toward the door, slammed it, and fell on the bed with a heavy sigh.What the hell just happened?Does this mean that Candence was in love with Miles? She just professed that she’s been into him from the moment they met.Could Max be right? Was I too insensitive to notice that she looks at me with obsession because she thinks I’m Miles?I turned to the phone on the table and quickly reached for it. I went to Google and imputed art exhibits in Japan but there was no event slated for 2025 in Tokyo.I made other searches because Candence had mentioned that the event was a national art festival but from my search
