Chapter 127

• Luciano walked fast into the house, praying to God that the text he just got was a false alert and Arielle was in the house. After the hearing at the courthouse, he had gone back to his office. He had been in the middle of a meeting when the text had come in and he had ignored it until he was done. The meeting lasted for three whole hours, he wished he had checked the text immediately he had seen it. He prayed nothing bad had happened to her and that it was just a prank text.
• “Arielle?”
• He called as soon as he walked into the house, he ran to the room that they shared with his heart beating really fast, she wasn’t inside, he walked fast to the restroom but she wasn’t there either, she didn’t tell him that she had anywhere to go and he couldn’t even call her because her phone was with him. He felt a sense of dread creep into him when he looked in the other rooms and she wasn’t there. He got out of the house and practically ran for the elevator, he waited patiently as it slowly went down, he never hated the elevator so much. Once it opened, he ran to the security who was usually at the entrance.
