Chapter 21 Shockwave

• Riona was lying down on her bed and going through her phone. She was all alone at home. Wright had not returned the previous night and she was not in the least bothered by his absence. He never informed her of his intending absence neither had he call to inform her of his reasons for not coming back home.
• In the past, Riona would have immediately contacted her dad the moment she noticed that he was usually late from work. But this time around, she was not bothered and so she did not dial his line, not even for once to inquire about his whereabouts or the reasons for his absence.
• Her refusal to check up on him was borne out of the conflict from their last encounter when he had been out all night and had intentionally ignored her calls and even though she tried to not admit it, it was also triggered by his revelation of an intention to marry Maeve, Riona’s mortal enemy. So, she has made a decision never to be bothered about his where about anymore.
