The air felt lighter since they escaped, Everyone knew Ella wouldn’t stop until something finally happened.It was Kendrick who noticed the small envelope tucked inside one of the files the police had returned earlier. At first, he thought it was nothing, just another overlooked paper. But when he pulled it out and unfolded it, his eyes stopped.There, clear as day, was a printed copy of a message. It was an email Ella had sent to one of the hired men who had guarded Kayla and Sally during their abduction. The message was short and direct, arranging payment. It even included her name at the

She got distracted by Kayla's presence and she stared at her for a while. She knew when something was weighing heavily on Kayla, even when Kayla tried to cover it with silence.“You’re still thinking about him,” Sally said simply, breaking the silence.Kayla glanced up, meeting her friend’s eyes for a brief moment before looking away again. “I don’t know how to go about it, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.”Sally gave a small laugh. “Please. You’ve been quiet for days, and every time Zach’s name comes up, you stiffen like someone just pulled a cord. I know you, Kay. You love him, can you stop being stubborn about it? I know y

    Writer's povElla woke up very early with so much on her mind, that made her pace around for a while without any direction of her thought. The walls closing in around her. Her mind was a whirlwind of disbelief, anger, and obsession. The phone call she had intercepted last night or rather, the messages she had seen had thrown her into a state of confusion.Kayla… she left him? She actually left him? The thought refused to settle. Ella stopped mid-step, hands, she placed her hand on her moth, No. That can’t be. They’re lying. They have to be lying. They’re trying to trick me, make me feel… foolish.She had a feeling that they are playing games with her and trying to make her stop whatever she’s doing with the fake story of their break up. She knew there’s no way Kayla would breakup with him like that because even when she was kidnapped she didn’t, so why would she do such all of a sudden.Ella’s lips pressed into a thin line, her fists clenching. They’re playing with me. They have to be.
