Chapter 74

• Two days passed without any sign of Alicia. Shawn was spiraling, and everyone around him was trying to soothe him. Despite their efforts to suppress the news, it leaked onto the internet the next day. Suddenly, the whole world was talking about it, everyone voicing their opinions. Some even accused Alicia of lying, claiming she only agreed to marry Shawn to facilitate her divorce. Soon, reports spread that Alicia had a lover, had used Shawn to get her divorce, and had now escaped with her lover, making it seem as though she was kidnapped.
• “Do you believe the news? What if it’s really what happened?” Donald asked Shawn, who was pacing in the lounge.
• “It’s not,” Shawn replied.
