“Feeling better?” Lucy asked after a short while.
“Yes…” I replied in a whisper.
Contrary to my words, my head felt light and dizzy. I shook my head from side to side to try to clear the haze but that only made me feel extremely sleepy. My eyelids felt so heavy and then so did my body.
“Malissa?” Lucy called my name softly.
By that time, I couldn’t reply to her anymore. My entire body felt weak and heavy. The last thing I was Lucy’s face before everything went black right in front of me.
“I’m really sorry…”
I heard her voice whisper close to me and then I didn’t hear anything else.
…
“Miss Malissa is gone. We can’t find her anywhere…” the man mumbled.
“She’s gone?!” the boss thundered as he jumped out of his seat.
A deep red color started creeping up onto the boss’s face from his neck and everyone gulped at the boss’s visible display of extreme anger.
“What do you mean ‘she’s gone’?! Find her! Find her and bring her back now!” the boss yelled as he pointed a finger at all of his men.
Hayden watched as his father went into berserk mode. He was extremely worried about Malissa, and something told him that this wasn’t just a simple disappearance. The men in black scattered and left the church to search for Malissa.
“Umm…what should I…” the old priest mumbled close to Hayden.
“Go die…” Hayden muttered in reply without looking at the old man.
The priest watch Hayden’s back as he strode away before making his way out the back. Hayden headed for the last place that Malissa should have been before she went missing. The door to the dressing room opened with a loud slam before Hayden strode in. Not surprisingly, there wasn’t a soul in the room. Hayden’s eyes quickly scanned the room before he sighed.
There weren’t any signs of struggle. Everything in the room was orderly. Malissa’s wedding dress was still hanging there untouched. He opened the jewelry box on the dressing table and found all the diamond jewelry that he had purchased for her in there.
“Fuck…” he swore as he felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
Since whoever took Malissa left these here, they are likely not out to get money, or they are simply out to get a lot more…
Hayden ran towards the parking lot and was entering his car when he heard a loud familiar voice calling out to him from behind.
“Where are you going?!” Luka yelled loudly.
“To find Malissa…” he replied like it was supposed to be obvious.
What else was he supposed to do right now?
“I’m coming with you,” Luka said as he got into the passenger seat.
Hayden didn’t want anyone to come with him, but he knew that arguing with Luka was just going to be a waste of time and he didn’t have any time to waste. Hayden started the car and began driving immediately.
