Back Home

Tyler wasted no time. He rode his bike at breakneck speed and reached Sapphire City by early morning.

The new Grant house was in the foothills tier of Sterling Hill and was quite affordable, considering the neighborhood. Even though it wasn’t spacious or sprawling like a mansion, it had a beautiful garden and a congenial atmosphere.

However, when Tyler reached the house, he found it boarded up and a FOR SALE signpost on the lawn. Eric Sentinel was right; his family had disappeared.

Tyler rushed to the security gate and questioned the guards about the matter.

“Sir, your family home was in the Foothills tier?” the chief of security asked in surprise. We assumed they were living in Prince’s Cove.”

“Did you see who took them?”

“Sir, they left of their own volition. But…”

“But what?”

“Sir, one of our patrol guards saw a stranger in a luxury car going towards your family home. After he returned, your parents packed up their things and left within a few hours.”
