I ran a hand through her hair, keeping her close as if that would keep me grounded. “She’s gone,” I said, the words burning my throat. “Elysia disappeared three mornings ago.

The footage turned to nothing but silence and shadows.”

Luna had been calling Quinn non-stop, but her phone remained off. "This won't do. I have to go check on her." Lisa only had one daughter. Quinn couldn't be in danger.

"Do you think Ms. Jowell is really gone? Did you see Ms. Lewitt's face?" "It looks like it. There had been no news from her since last night. That was such a huge explosion!"

But it’s just rows of my suits, lined up like soldiers, everything meticulously in place as if she was never here. “No…no, no, no…” I muttered under my breath, as reality dawned on me. She’s gone. Lisa is gone. My legs felt weak, and I collapsed onto the bed, lots of unanswered questions hovering in my mind. How could this have happened? I was only gone for a few days.

She wrapped her arm tightly around Justin and then followed Alex out.

She winked, causing the others to laugh along. Amber held onto her hand like she feared she would disappear. “I have missed seeing your face. Please, Lisa, never leave without prior notice ever again. Nothing feels the same without you around.” “That is so true.” Jennifer and Jade chorused. “I miss you all so much.” Lisa cooed as she lunged at them again. “Come on in you all. I have a lot to tell you.” The girls seemed eager to hear what Lisa had to say. But she took her time instead, served them drinks and allowed them to settle before dropping the bombshell.

Before she could finish her drink Ella had slipped from the room. Lisa's date clearly showed interest in her, but she got off without saying goodbye after seeing Lisa's departure. Free at last. Walking on the street they were spitting how awful the dates were and doing window-shopping. Lisa stopped at a boutique, it was undoubted that she had remarkable interest in the jewelry. There was something odd about her that she did not like fashion- buying cloths or wearing make-up, but she loved beautiful jewelry and bijouterie.

Lisa dragged her eyes from her screen, staring at me with an irritated expression. “You both sleep on the same bed. How would I know?” She retorted harshly. “Yeah. But when I woke up this morning, she was gone,” I replied. Lisa blinked blankly, looking the least interested in her mother’s whereabouts.

He took me straight to get tested.” “And Louisa?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. “Gone,” he said bitterly. “No trace. The resort staff said she checked out early this morning.”

I kissed Yvonne on the forehead and asked, "By the way, where's Colleen? Why didn't she show up to the wedding?" "Dr. McClain passed away. Coco was too embarrassed to ask you for the acupuncture regimen, so she went overseas for treatment." "Will her leg recover?" I asked drowsily. "Probably not." "What a shame. She had already been able to stand." As soon as I finished speaking, my eyelids began to droop. Holding the beautiful woman in my arms, I eventually fell asleep.
