The truth had been unveiled

"He fucking cleared the cctv footage!"

Theo yelled in exasperation when they realized the camera was broken. "Shit. We can't start the hunt without any proofs and clues in hands" Roman furrowed his brows. "We are totally fucked for real" In frustration, Bailey cursed and ran her fingers through hair.

"Theo, call the manager from Lyssa shop and ask for cctv footage from there. If our daughter really has a stalker, he would be captured in those cameras for once at least" Camilla stated calmly. At that time, Dean stood at the corner beside Lorcan. They remained silent.

"Did you meet her before she was seen for last time?" Lorcan asked without lifting his eyes from the floor. He had his arms crossed while leaning on the wall behind. Dean shook his head. He had his hands in pockets. Looking up at the man by his side who was doubting everyone.

"No. I was busy with my works. Shouldn't it be you who would meet her for last time since you are always by her side?" Dean queried back beneath a scowl. His eyes buried with concern and suspicion. It was when Lorcan raised his right brow as his jaw clenched in vexation.

He turned around,

maintaining the eye contact.

"I would never lay my hands on Mia to hurt her because I admire her with my whole heart unlike others. I have never taken any advantages of her in my entire life. So I suggest you to grab your doubt back in the pocket" Lorcan assured. Hushing down the young man entirely.

The confession was obvious to catch up. This bodyguard of the young woman seemed to have fallen in love. "Dean, let's go! We have to separate and waste no time!" Bailey raised her tone and dragged Dean out of the place in hurry before he could even query things.

Leaving Lorcan and Mia's parents at villa as they three headed out to check the cctv footage of the shop. "Bring me a glass of water along with some pills to soothe my chaotic mind" Camilla instructed Maki who was worried also. "Understood, Ma'am" She rushed up.

"Lorcan, I have to look after my wife. Go check Mia's room on my behalf to find some clues" Theo commanded when he realized he could not leave his wife behind. "I understand" The man nodded in agreement. He went upstairs as the instructions. Exploring Mia's room.

Shocking incident was about to occur.

But at the moment he had no idea which kind of clues he would be gaining in next minutes. "Diary books..." A murmur came up from Lorcan over the sight of books hidden in the drawer. Similar designed books and the name written on them are same. {Mia Grace}. It's there.

Without any hesitation, Lorcan ran through the pages, believing she would have written down the suspicion she held. She, in fact, detailed about the stalker who had been disturbing her. The suspect was Zeke Preston. It was totally unexpected person. How could he be?

Lorcan couldn't help but doubted all. Now, the clue was in his hands. Zeke. He had to find that man and query him. Still, Lorcan's eyes shifted down towards one book beneath all the ones. It was not the same like the other books. Different color with only one name {Mia}.

She added Grace at the end on every book's front cover. However, this book gave off different energy. He collected his curiosity and decided to read through despite knowing he was at fault for going through someone's private stuff. Howbeit, it was the best choice ever.

He picked the best choice.

Lorcan's eyes widened over the view of name mentioned at front page in the book. Mia Clark. The one and only name he could never forget in life. The entire page was full with perplexing description about her chaotic change in life. She called it reincarnation in the book.

This different book happened to be the one where the young woman admitted about the past life she had. She confessed her guilt for lying her identity to everyone as well. It was supposed to be the darkest secret she grasped, yet the man managed to unveil the truth.

"Mia..."

Rather than a scowl, a grin tugged at Lorcan's lips. His expression embraced nothing else but the bliss. His eyes beam with yearning. Anyone could see how much he was delighted to discover the truth. "I knew it" Lorcan's grip upon the book tightened out of joy.

He felt as if the world had healed. All of the sudden, tears were dripping down from the corners of his eyes. "Mia..." He murmured, as his knees fell onto the floor. "I should have known this earlier. I should have figured this out earlier" The man pushed the blame onto him.

All the reasons were pointing at nothing else but one fact. Lorcan actually was Henry. The soul was shifted inside the book when he passed away. Through out the years he spent in this book, he felt empty. The world was cruel for him, until he witnessed how Mia Grace changed.

He observed her every move. The arrogant Mia Grace he used to assist became a lively one with similar behavior of someone he was aware. So Lorcan commenced to doubt the young woman. He searched for clues every day, everywhere, and he failed every time.

She concealed things so well.

Now, he had encountered the truth he had been looking for. It was right in front of him. Except the fact that his love of life was kidnapped currently. "She needs me. I must rescue her" A mutter escaped between the man's lips. He promptly stood up with the book in his grasp.

"Lorcan?" A frown displayed across Theo's face once the man came back to the living room beneath exasperated expression. The runny nose he had puzzled the couple. Did the man cry in the room? But for what reasons? This was bizarre. The couple couldn't help but doubted.

"Mia mentioned Zeke Preston as suspect in her book, Sir. She said he was the first man to ask for hand in marriage out of the blue. In conclusion, we should investigate him first" Lorcan got straight to the point. Stunning Camilla. "That guy asked for marriage?!" Her tone rose.

"How dare he?! He doesn't deserve my dear daughter!" Through vexation, Theo shouted. "Lorcan is accurate. We have to encounter Zeke Preston to clear the things. If he is the actual kidnapper, we can sue him and threaten him" Camilla mumbled through frustration.

The three headed out after.

The destination was the office of Zeke Preston in view of the fact that they had no clue where he really lived. "Can we meet Zeke Preston?" Theo queried the manager. Earning a confused stare back. "If you have made an appointment, yes you can, Sir" The man responded.

"We haven't but it is emergency" Camilla interrupted. It was the moment the manager furrowed brows in perplexity. "I fear it is not appropriate to barge in, Ma'am. He finds it quite irritating to get interrupted without appointment" The manager explained till he could.

"Call him and inform him Mia is missing" Out of impatience, Lorcan voiced from the back. Drawing the attention from the three. "Right. Notify him that" Theo concurred when he realized the motive of the man. "Um, then please wait for a moment" Helplessly, the manager called.

A few seconds it took only. "Please follow me. Sir Zeke permitted you to enter" The man asserted once the phone call ended. Bringing a smile upon Theo and Camilla's faces to hear the news. "Welcome" Zeke flashed a beam over the sight of the three stepping inside.

"I heard the situation"

He began the conversation as the couple settled down while Lorcan stood behind the lounge where the couple sat. "Have you met with her for once before she disappeared by any chance?" Camilla threw a question. The manager placed juice for three. And he left.

"She declined my offer to meet up days ago. It is been a long time since we have encountered" A smile tugged at Zeke's lips still. And it made Theo clench his jaw in suspicion. Meanwhile, Lorcan remained silent, unbothered. As if he did not doubt the man across him currently.

"Would it be all right to check the cctv footage of the company?" Camilla got straight to the point. Earning a nod back from the man without any hesitation. "Of course. To erase the suspicion on me, I am willing to cooperate from every way" Zeke confessed.

They then directed to the security room as Lorcan stayed behind due to the phone call from Bailey. "Yes?" He voiced under a tranquil tone. For nearly a minute, no voice came up. Puzzling the man. Why was there no response while she called him first out of the blue?

"Lorcan..."

A whisper finally escaped from the other side of the phone. "We found Mia. She is with us... we are captured. The suspect is him... Go away!" Before finishing the sentences, the yelp echoed. Stunning Lorcan. "I told you to shut up!" Another yell added up before ending the call.

It was the moment Lorcan's eyes widened as his grip upon the phone tightened. "Fuck..." The murmur of disappointment came up. The realization hit him like a truck. But he knew it would turn out like this. He expected the situation to turn out in such a way, because this voice was...

The truth had been unveiled.

It actually was Dean Silas.
