The air in the room was charged with tension, and Reid's voice cut through the silence, sharp and impatient."Boris, I need answers. It's been a week, and we're no closer to finding her. How is that even possible?" Reid's frustration seeped into every word, the controlled composure he usually wore crumbling in the face of the unknown.Boris sighed, a tinge of apology in his eyes.

Have you found her?"Boris nodded, his gaze meeting Reid's. "We may have a lead. We employed a hacker to track Bella's social media activity, specifically through her best friend Lily's account.

His tight hug, so filled with sincerity and emotion, was a side of him she had never seen before. She had anticipated a confrontation, perhaps even a demand or threat, but certainly not this display of vulnerability.Looking at Reid's face, she realized she had only seen such expressiveness once before—on the night they had conceived their baby. It was a stark contrast to the usual cold and impassive demeanor he wore like armor, an impenetrable shield.Outside, the sky was transitioning into twilight, signaling the approaching darkness.

It's been a long day today." He paused, trying to gauge her reaction.Bella's eyes met his, a hint of relief flashing across her face, grateful for his understanding.

Boris, his loyal head of security, waited for him outside, his expression a mix of confusion and concern. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the farm."Boris," Reid began, placing a hand on his shoulder, "You stay here overnight. Watch over Bella. She and the child are my top priorities now."Boris furrowed his brow, his usual stoic expression reflecting his uncertainty. "But sir, what about your safety? Shouldn't I be with you?"Reid shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "Boris, my safety is of no concern tonight, I have the rest of the team with me. Bella needs protection, and I trust you with that task. Besides, I want you to get to know her. She'll be an essential part of my life."Boris blinked, trying to process the unexpected turn of events.

She slid down the door, her heart pounding erratically, emotions swirling like a tempest within her. Flustered and enticed by Reid's unexpected reaction, she needed a moment to collect herself. Her knees were still trembling, and her heart was beating really loudly.Rushing to the small ensuite, she splashed her face with cold water, attempting to regain control over her scattered thoughts.
