Bella… what exactly was she planning?

Ryan finally left the bathroom, just about a minute after Bella had walked out. One of the guests from the banquet hall happened to come in to use the restroom and, in passing, let Ryan out.

Ryan could clearly remember the strange look on the man's face—after all, being locked in a bathroom stall is a pretty weird situation.

Once he realized it was Bella who had been following him, the initial tension he'd felt from the unknown vanished. But in its place, a different kind of panic took over, one he couldn't shake off.

Rubbing his temples in frustration, Ryan felt like his head was about to explode from everything that was happening.

A few days ago, when he visited the orphanage, the director had slipped him a note. It was news about Bella's return.
