Nathan, who had been sleeping soundly on the large bed, was nowhere to be found.
The room was empty, and there was no sign of him.
Confusion shrouded her thoughts as she couldnât comprehend why he would have gotten up so fast after she left.
âNate?â
As Lucinda yelled, she touched the bed sheet.
It was still warm, indicating that he just got up.
But the villa was engulfed by silence and she got no response.
She searched every room diligently, hoping to find him in one of them.
Did Nathan truly leave so suddenly?
If so, why hadnât she seen him on her way back?
Unease swelled within Lucinda as she instantly contacted Sonny.
âHas Nate already gone to work?â she inquired.
Sonny, puzzled by her question, responded, âNo, Iâm on my way to N&
L Fairy Land.
â
A wave of anxiety washed over her.
Sonny didnât get a response and got worried as well.
âMiss Simmons, whatâs the matter?â
âI think Nate has gone missingâ¦â
With that revelation, the entire mansion was thrown into chaos.
Sonny, accompanied by Abel and Rickey, scoured every nook and cranny of the house, trying not to scare the Payne family.
Their efforts proved fruitless as they tirelessly searched.
They even checked the surveillance video and the garage, but found no clue.
Nathanâs phone was even switched off.
After more than thirty minutes of relentless search, there was still no sign of him.
Lucindaâs unease only grew with each passing moment.
It was a familiar feeling, reminiscent of the day she received the news of Nathanâs supposed death over six months ago.
She had combed Bay Villa inside and out, yet she didnât find him.
