Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 12

Aaron glanced at his watch.

There were still four hours until his flight took off.

He had plenty of time.

"Take me to Rosewood Gardens," he suddenly ordered. The driver, caught off guard for a moment, quickly made a turn at the next intersection.

When the car arrived at Rosewood Gardens, Aaron stepped out.

The staff, seeing him return, promptly greeted him with a "Good evening, Mr. Vance."

Aaron didn't respond, instead striding quickly toward Serena's room.

Pushing open the door, he found the room empty, causing his heart to skip a beat.

"Where's Serena?" he demanded, grabbing the attention of a passing housekeeper.

The housekeeper stammered nervously, "Miss Sullivan hasn't been home for several days... I... I don't know where she went."

She hasn't been back for days?

Just a few days ago, Olivia had said Serena was still at Rosewood Gardens.

Could it be?!

Aaron's heart raced as he hurried into the room and flung open the wardrobe.

Seeing it packed with clothes, he exhaled a sigh of relief.

The clothes were still there, suggesting Serena hadn't left.

Just as he was about to leave, he paused, remembering something. He returned to the wardrobe.

These clothes, Serena never touched them.

Her belongings were always in the wardrobe on the right.

Just as he reached to open the right side, his phone rang. It was Matthew calling.

"What's up?" he answered.
