The door, now broken, bore the faintest of scratch marks, the paint on its panels mostly clawed away.
Alexander's expression visibly darkened at the sight.
Kyle, feeling a wave of unease, cast a furtive glance at the man's somber face. He hadn't checked in over the
past three days, fearing that the sight of Quinn's dire state would soften his heart. After all, if her own husband
didn't care, why should he?
"Alexander," he said, "it seems like someone took Quinn away. I'll look into it."
With that, Alexander turned, leaving the storeroom behind. He walked into the living room, where, out of the
corner of his eye, he caught sight of a complete divorce agreement bearing Quinn's signature.
Wordlessly, almost reflexively, he tore the document to shreds and cast it aside. The paper scraps scattered
across the floor.
Upon scanning the room once more, he found no other clues of value, apart from the torn divorce agreement.
"Check the security footage," he commanded.
"Right away," Kyle responded.
There were cameras outside the villa. Reviewing the records would reveal any visitors - this should be an easy
lead to follow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithin twenty minutes, Kyle had retrieved the surrounding surveillance footage and handed it to Alexander.
"Alexander..." he began, but stopped himself. As he glanced at the security footage, he sensed an impending
storm of violence. Alexander clicked on the monitor. The screen left no room for doubt. Someone had definitely
been there, and it wasn't just anyone. It was Abigail. When Abigail had left, Quinn was slung over her shoulder.
Alexander remained calm, scrolling through the footage to the end where Abigail's car disappeared into a blind
spot, and the video feed cut off.
At that moment, Alexander's phone rang. It was Oliver. Glancing at the caller ID, Alexander caught Kyle's eye,
causing him to break out in a cold sweat. Yes, as soon as he had finished reviewing the footage, he had alerted
Oliver, who had also seen the evidence.
The phone rang persistently before Alexander finally swiped to answer, putting the call on speakerphone and
setting it down on the coffee table. "Alexander, | will resolve this situation. | can't reach Abigail right now, but
something about this doesn't add up," Oliver spoke up.
Alexander stayed silent, his eyes fixed on the phone as his fingers idly rubbed his wristwatch. Oliver continued,
"Abigail hasn't left the house these past days. Why would she abruptly take Quinn away?" His implication was
clear. Maybe Quinn had reached out to Abigail, and whatever they had discussed had led her to sneak out.
If Quinn had initiated everything, then the blshould not fall on Abigail's shoulders. "Three days," Alexander
suddenly interjected.
"What?"
"I'm giving you three days. | want to see both of them," Alexander stated firmly.
Oliver was silent for a while, and then responded, "Okay, | understand."
With that, Oliver hung up. Alexander closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch, his fingers still toying with
his wristwatch. "Go find them," he commanded, "Search everywhere if you have to, just find them."
