Chapter 79 Nicholas

• “I've disappointed Nicole,” I articulated as I gripped my gin glass tightly in my hand. My fist clenched on the glass in frustration as I stared into the liquid.
• Five agonizing days had passed since Nicole vanished, and I was still in the dark. I had no leads, no clues, no news, nothing. Just because I wanted her disappearance to be a secret, I hired a private investigator and the private investigator had come up empty-handed, with no news about Nicole.
• Lucas really got me in this one, and I was starting to lose hope, already. I tried to track her phone, but the phone remained unreachable. The negative response was a constant reminder of my helplessness.
