Seeing Serena's face full of disappointment and her overflowing complaints about her mother in front of me, I honestly couldn't find the words to express the reality of this situation. I was even confused about what to do now because, in reality, Malisa was too busy. This wasn't just happening to Serena; Malisa also rarely had time for me, to be honest.Serena sat in the corner of the room, her face showing profound pain. Her usually bright eyes now appeared dim, as if the burden of her thoughts had gnawed away at her spirit. She expressed her disappointment about her mother, Malisa, who was always busy with work and life's demands. Every word that came from her mouth was filled with frustration, and I could only remain silent, feeling the weight of this situation.I know all too well how it feels when someone we love is too trapped in their routine. Malisa, who should be a refuge for Serena, had become an unreachable figure. Often, I also felt

In those tense moments, I picked up the call, hoping to find a way out of this mess. With a pounding heart, I prepared to hear what Malisa would say, all the while feeling the weight of Serena's unspoken hopes."Yes, what is it? Where have you been, Malisa?" I asked, feeling annoyed that she was only now contacting me. I had needed her earlier. I mean, I needed her money, not her presence. But I tried to set aside my annoyance and push it away. Especially now that I was on the phone with Malisa in front of Serena. I had to present a good image and turn the situation around as if Malisa was always in the wrong, further complicating the relationship between Malisa and Serena.In this tense situation, I felt a battle between need and emotion.

My voice was calm, even though the atmosphere around us was quite chaotic.When I glanced at Serena, I noticed a change in her face. Her complexion began to flush, indicating that her emotions were starting to flare up. The conversation between me and Malisa seemed to have triggered a reaction within her.

Let her be and hang up the phone right no

Eric's POV My voice trembled, and the mixed emotions made it hard to explain. "Lina, I... I don't know how this happened. We were fighting and... and he fell into the cliff."Lina listened intently, her eyes widening as I recounted everything that had happened. "What? He fell into the cliff? Are you sure he's okay?" she asked, worry echoing in her voice.I could only shake my head, sadness and uncertainty weighing down my chest. "I don't know, I just... don't know what to do."In that moment, I felt a heavy burden in my heart. Guilt and fear enveloped me, and I knew that my life would be affected by this incident forever.

Eric's POV I kept thinking about that because I felt threatened. Next, the second was about Malisa and Serena. Yes, Serena was still in Malisa's hands. I wondered if Serena and Malisa might be starting to have a good relationship now. Especially since Serena had not tried to contact me. Anxiety gnawed at my heart, imagining them spending time together, sharing stories, while I remained isolated here. Or perhaps Serena is still weak and hasn't regained consciousness until now. I keep trying to convince myself that maybe she just needs time to recover. However, this uncertainty is torturous. Every passing second makes me more anxious. I don’t know what might be happening right now, and that makes me feel increasingly helpless.These muddled thoughts aren’t good.

Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house.

Malisa's POV I quickly explained the situation I was facing. “I’m looking for Roby, and I’m having trouble getting information about him. I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort. You can focus on Roby's personal data,” I said in detail, ensuring all steps were clear. “Once you get that, you can trace his address and go there.”Mariana listened intently, absorbing every piece of information I offered. “Okay, Mrs. Malisa, I will carry out that task immediately,” she replied, ready to proceed.

It seemed unlikely that among all my schoolmates, none would have maintained contact with Roby.I began to think that at least one, if not more, of my friends must still be in touch with Roby. Perhaps they knew his whereabouts or even had his latest address. This information was crucial for my upcoming efforts. Yes, I needed to contact my friends one by one to keep this confidential and ensure my plan went smoothly.With a resolute determination, I opened my contacts list on my phone.

It turns out Lina had a husband, or rather, she used to have one," she said, deepening my curiosity about the direction of this conversation. My curiosity intensified as Mariana began discussing the information she had gathered. I listened carefully as she explained Lina's personal data. Surprise after surprise emerged as Mariana revealed that Lina indeed had a husband, or more accurately, had once had one.This information was truly intriguing.
