Willey’s POVI
“You mean the little boy from this moming? He’s been discharged. His mother came in and signed all the papers, the nurse said, giving me a curious look. “You’re his father, right? Didn’t they tell you they were leaving?”
1 didn’t even hear the rest. I just spun around and bolted out of the hospital, already dialing Aveline’s number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later.“I
I called again. Once. Twice. Ten times. It’s always busy!!
That’s when a sick feeling crept into my chest!
I didn’t even bother switching my Maybach for the old van I used to drive. I just gunned it all the way to the tiny apartment Aveline and I had rented together
1 burst through the front door–but the familiar faces that used to wait for me were nowhere to be seen.
The cramped, dim apartment felt suddenly bright and hollow. ‘Aveline and our son have taken everything!%
Clothes! Trinkets! Not even a strand of hair was left behind!
That’s when it hit me. This isn’t a fight. Not some kind of drama. It’s real..%
I grabbed my phone and immediately called my men, ordering them to find out where Aveline and Beau had gone.
Just as I hung up, there was a knock at the door%
My heart jumped
Maybe maybe they came back?%
My tired eyes lit up with hope as I rushed over to open the door–only to find the landlord standing there, holding a box.% “She asked me to give this to you before she left, the landlord said, pressing the box into my hands. “Go on. Open it.“% My face shifted as I took the box
I stepped inside and lifted the lid.%
What I saw inside paralyzed me in utter shock.%
