Chapter 49 Can't Live Without Her

• Peter stumbled into the mansion, his heart pounding in his chest. He had received a call from someone that Lotus had seen leaving the house the night before, he didn't want to believe it. The silence was deafening as he scanned the empty sitting room. his eyes searching desperately for any sign of Lotus. His steps grew heavier with each passing moment, and when he reached their bedroom, his worst fears were confirmed. The closet stood empty, and every trace of her presence had vanished. All bags and clothes belonging to her were also gone.
• He sank to the floor, his heart racing picking in his chest a growing pain resting there.. He had thought he was protecting her, shielding her from Sheila. But in doing so, he had destroyed the very relation he had a work to protect. The realization was agonizing, and tears welled up in his eyes as he clutched his phone in his trembling hands. Her number was not going through and he wouldn't blame her for doing so.
• Without hesitation, he dialed Davis's number, despite the clash that the two men had, Peter knew that the bitter fact was that Davis had been closer to Lotus.. The line came through "Davis," he whispered desperately, "Do you know where Lotus has gone? Please, Tell me her whereabouts, please."
