Chapter 66 Delayed

• MAX’S POV
• As soon as this day will end, it’ll be Amaya’s tenth day of being missing. Her absence caused multiple assumptions from different partners that she may have run away since we never had enough evidence when we investigated the Dallo Family. I feel shit for not being able to find her or even help her wherever she is. And yet right now, I had to deal with this bunch of businessmen in the lobby stressing out about having Galiviosa’s operations on pause. Amaya’s parents were also starting to get furious at me, thinking that I may haven’t been doing anything to find her. But I’ve been squeezing my head out right now on how to find her. I almost killed Ace with how anxious I got. Though one thing is for sure, I know that Amaya is still alive. I kept on telling them that but they were almost giving up on her. The noise inside the building pissed me off so Vanique tried to bring them upstairs to Amaya’s office while I stayed down there for a while and finally, walked outside to feel some at least fresh air. I witnessed the sun go down as the shadows starts to get less visible in the dark, but one’s silhouette made me walk forward to check it out. Because the moment I saw it, a thud followed. I looked closer and found a woman who collapsed on the ground with her hair covering her face. I tried to shake her a little to check out if she was fine but she was not responding. She was dirty and seemed like have been starving for a few days now. I fixed her hair so I could get a better look at her face and I rushed when I saw that it was Amaya. I was caught off guard at first but I immediately carried her inside the building and let the staff call an ambulance.
• They were all shocked to see her in my arms just after a few minutes out and in perfect timing. Some of them called Vanique at the office while I tried on doing CPR on Amaya while I was trembling holding her. She looked so thin than the last time I saw her and she doesn’t seem like herself as well. Missing her made me hug her so tight and I had my eyes filled with tears.
