“She… is not here… She hasn’t come back home since Friday afternoon.”
My jaw clenches.
“Where is she?” I ask, trying to control my frustration.
Why the hell would he invite me in if she wasn’t home.
They are out for a family tour to Catalina islands….. I will call her father and I am sure he can help you get connected to her.” He says, taking up his phone from his pocket.
That would be helpful.” I mutter.
Then I realize something.
“Isn’t she picking your calls, either?” I ask.
“Oh! She lost her phone again,” He says ruefully. “She had a minor accident on Saturday. Poor girl is going through
some critical phase.”
“She had an What?”
“Oh, looks like she didn’t tell you,” he says wide eyed then frowns. “That’s not good. I expected better from her.” He mutters while using his phone. “No matter how angry you are, serious things should always be shared among partners,” He adds, glancing at me, then puts the phone to his ear and waits patiently.
His words do not sound like he is just some employee of the household. His attitude and demeanor tells me he is a trusted man in the family. Probably close to Avery.
“He didn’t pick up!” he declares, and I pinch my brows in frustration.
“Where is she, and who is there with her?” I demand. I am sure the accident was not a coincidence. A strange anxiousness is getting hold of me.
I need to send a bodyguard for her. Someone who will stay there by her side.
Orin gives me the resort location and tells the dreadful truth that her half sister Della is there too. A smart person would not pull off any new stunt or attack on Avery in front of all those family members. But on a holiday island, possibilities are endless. I know little about Avery’s half sister. The gossip in town is she stole Avery’s fiance two years ago. But what else is there? Why the sudden attacks?
I will send the evidence to the officer handling Avery’s attack case. But I have an inkling he will say the evidence is

not enough to make any case. Although, the media can do wonders to take care of this problem.
I browse my phone thinking and my eyes fall on Jane’s phone number. The Sub I had sent into Avery’s room to take care of her. Jane and Jonas are in an open relationship. Jane is a news reporter.
I wait for a while for Avery’s father to call back and ask Orin some questions about the accident.
I am tempted to ask questions about Della too, but considering I am playing Avery’s husband, it will blow out on my
face.
He promises me he would inform Mr. Collins that I want to talk to Avery as soon as possible.
After asking relevant questions, I leave the Collins mansion. I have the resort address and Avery’s father aka my father–in–law’s phone number. I am planning to assign a guard for her right away.
After having a quick word with my security team, I call Noah and he picks up at first ring.
“Hey man!”
“How did your meeting with Avery Collins went on Saturday?”
“Oh Wow…. No Hi. No Hello… Okay!”
I roll my eyes. He is pulling my leg for my ‘southern hospitality‘ comment on Friday night.
“Whatever! Answer me now!”
“She didn’t come because-”
“She had an accident?”
“Yeah.. that. I was told it wasn’t that bad, but she was tired so she stayed back,” I nod. Orin told me that part already.
“Could you do me a favor, Brother??”
“Ooo Miles Miller asking for a favor.. Ask away…”
“I want you to call Avery’s sister… the one who is always with her…”
I haven’t seen her, but I was told she was always around a couple in New York. As far as I remember, she was staying with the same girl in the hotel, too.
“Lena.. Her name is Lena”
“Yea” Whatever.
“So Avery was driving her car and I want to know what happened to it. I want my security team to check it out tonight.”

“Like now?”
“Yup!”
“And how can I help you?” He asks, puzzled.
“I don’t know. For starters. Ask her where that car is?” ”
