Chapter 110 Left Behind

• "What do you mean she's gone?" Keegan was half furious when he got home only to find a note from Mara, telling him that Cody was at Seamus and Charlotte's. In the note, she did thank him for his generosity in taking them in but in the end she was going to let her stepdad find her. Keegan had read the note, then read it, probably a dozen times before he checked the guest bedroom only to find that it was empty. Mara and Cody's belongings were all gone. Keegan looked at the tidy room and found that there was no indication of them having ever stayed there before.
• "Exactly that, and no, I don't know where she is. She wouldn't tell me anything about her plan only to say that she will let you know when it's time. Look, Keegan, now that you know... why don't you do your best and find her?" Charlotte raised her perfect brow, silently judging him for not doing his job.
• Keegan grunted, while Seamus just shook his head, telling him silently that whatever he was going to say was going to be shared behind his wife. A dozen scenarios were crawling into his mind. Keegan had spent days going through her stepdad's footsteps and the man was nothing but tricky and devious. The man was smart and Keegan had come to know that he was eager to get to Cody because he was easier to control. Turns out that Mara's grandparents are loaded. They're old money, and her stepdad knew and was planning all along to milk money out of them. He hoped to live well for the rest of his life when he handed Cody. It was the breakthrough that Keegan finally got, he was about to tell Mara when she had gone missing. If only he was a little bit faster.
