Sophiaâs heart sank further as she thought about all this. She had changed so much for Marcus. Why didnât he like her? Why was he still so distant?
Where did she fall short?
Where did she go wrong compared to Ellinor?
Why?
Who could tell her why?
Sophia, who once firmly believed that she could move Marcus and make him fall in love with her over time, now had no hope for this idea.
But even so, she was unwilling to let go of the man she had worked so hard to keep by her side.
What was all that for then? Had she wasted these past three years?
Most importantly, she did not believe there was a better man than Marcus in this world. No one was more worthy of her than Marcus.
No one!
With a heart plagued by emotions of sadness, resentment, jealousy, anger, and stubbornness, Sophia got drunk at a bar alone and was finally taken back to the hotel by her fatherâs men.
When she woke up, her head was pounding. It was past nine; she didnât remember sleeping for long.
Why did she wake up so early? Anyway, she didnât have to make breakfast for Marcus anymore.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
It seemed like she was woken up by some noise.
As she was thinking about this, her phone rang again.
Sophia scratched her messy hair, picked up her phone, and answered the call.
The call was from her housekeeper back in M State.
âMiss! You finally picked up the call!â
Hearing it was her housekeeper, Sophia yawned as she asked, âYeah, what is it? Did you pick up Marcus and Tristan?â
âNo, Miss Sophia. Are you sure you got the flight number right? Weâve been waiting at the airport for a long time. We also checked, but thereâs no record of Mr. Marcus. entering the country.â
âWhat?â Sophia sobered up instantly. âWhat did you say? Marcus hasnât arrived?! Thatâs impossible! I personally saw him off on the plane yesterday. Have the airport check again!â
âWeâve checked many times already; thereâs definitely no record of him entering the country! Miss Sophia, weâve been trying to call you. You didnât answer, so we checked even more times! Thereâs really no record of him entering the country! Maybe you should contact Mr. Marcus and ask him where he is.â
Sophia began to panic. She started losing it!
Marcus didnât arrive in M State?! There was no record of his entry?!
Where could he be?! Where could a disabled man who couldnât stand on his own go?!
Yesterday, she really personally saw him and Tristan off on the plane and arranged for her fatherâs men to sit next to them. How could they have disappeared?!
Without time to think too much, Sophia hung up the housekeeperâs call and immediately dialed Marcusâ
number.
But it was switched off. Sophia felt even more uneasy. She hurriedly got up and ran out of the suite to find her father.
She knocked on the door both anxiously and restlessly, causing Thaddeus to open the door with a bit of annoyance, âWhat is it?! Why are you knocking on the door this early in the morning?! Are you trying to scare me to death?!â
Sophia didnât have the patience to care about her fatherâs attitude. She was too panicked to care. âDad!
Daddy! Marcus is missing! He didnât go back home! You have to help me contact the people you sent to accompany him!,Ask them where Marcus is! Hurry up!â
Thaddeusâ eyebrows furrowed. He was also a little surprised. âWhat? Heâs missing?â
