It was past six o'clock in the evening and still, no one was there to pick her up.
Emily could not understand exactly what was wrong with her brothers. Nothing like this had ever happened to her before.
They had always made sure to keep her fully protected and none of them were ever late to pick her up.
However, this time, Mark was supposed to pick her up at five o'clock. It was already one hour past the decided time and there was not even a single car in sight.
Not only that but her team of bodyguards was also not with her. She did not even notice when they disappeared from around her.
One moment, there were six of them following behind her when she checked out from the City Library, and the next second, she was the only person walking on the sidewalk.
She never would have imagined finding herself without Joy. The man had almost become her shadow.
