There's only one possible explanation for this...
Kane must've entered my personal information and facial recognition data into the security system long ago! I haven't returned to the country at the time as we were still fighting at the time...
Having regained some of her courage, Amora then headed straight for their former home.
The villa's garden was still locked by the wrought iron gates which were icy-cold in the winter.
It looked deserted and barren surrounded by withered flowers and trees, and even the playground that the kids loved was covered by a layer of dust.
Why on earth would he even think of coming here with the state that it's in? Regardless of what she thought, Amora scanned her face at the front gate and entered the garden anyway.
The front door to the house was unlocked, and the place looked completely empty.
"Sebby? Are you there?" she called out cautiously when she got to the living room, but the deafening eerie silence in the long-abandoned villa was all that greeted her.
Could it be that he's already left? She lowered her head in disappointment at the thought of that, only to notice a fresh set of footprints on the dusty floor.
Her eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and she quickly followed them up to the third floor.
Why is the villa in such a state? Kane stayed in the countryside after getting into a fight with Chris, and later moved into the Rory residence with me after my return.
I thought he had sold the villa, but it turns out he didn't...
If that's the case, why not have someone clean the place on a regular basis or something? That way, we could stay over every now and then.
Amora thought to herself as she pulled her hand back upon touching the dusty staircase railing.
"Sebby?" she called out once again outside the familiar-looking bedroom door, but there was still no response.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of something falling to the floor inside the room.
"Sebby!" she shouted while opening the door.
Oh, my god! He really is in here! The room was dark as the thick curtains weren't drawn, and she could see him lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed and the blanket on.
What shocked her the most was the messy state of the bedroom that had always been sparkly clean every time she came by.
All the tables, chairs, ornaments, and even the paintings on the wall were all over the floor.
On top of that, there were chunks of wood and broken glass everywhere.
