Chapter 66

• Hayley’s POV
• Aiden had been in Australia for several days, then weeks, and now months. Time seemed to drag on forever as his absence left a void in my heart that only grew with each passing day. Despite the turmoil surrounding us, my love for him remained steadfast and unwavering—an overwhelming force pushing me towards utter desperation.
• Numerous attempts were made to contact Aiden. My phone was my saving grace, a means of maintaining connection with him in my daily routine. Regrettably, each call went unheeded, and all messages remained unread. It seemed as though he vanished without a trace, leaving me unsure about what to do next. The anguish over his location or wellbeing incessantly plagued me from within.
