CHAPTER 72

KIERAN 

I knew something was wrong when I could not reach Edwina. 

I thought she probably switched off her phone due to all the stress from the entire situation, but when she began to miss the partnership meetings, a niggling fear had settled in the pit of my stomach.

"Calm down, Kie. I'm sure she is just taking her time. These past few days must have taken a toll on her," Charlotte had said to me on the phone when I told her about my fear that Edwina might have ran away again.

I decided to take my sister's advice and calmed down. 

Few weeks later, Edwina was still not attending the partnership meetings. Her number was not reachable.

The last straw that broke the camel back was when I decided to pay her a surprise visit at the office, and I met her personal assistant instead.

The lady immediately became wary of my presence. She stiffened and went cold, her voice curt and sharp as she attended to me.
