If I couldn’t reach Alicia through phone calls or text messages, then maybe I could reach her through social media.
I had never cared much for platforms like this before. Jane usually handled anything related to online news and trends, so there had never been a reason for me to create an account.
Now there is.
I quickly entered my information and created a profile on Twitter.
The moment the account was activated, I searched for Alicia’s username.
Dozens of results appeared.
Thanks to the scandals that had surrounded us over the past few months, it didn’t take long to find her account.
My fingers tightened around the phone.
Without hesitation, I sent a message.
"Alicia, where are you?"
A few seconds later, I sent another.
"Are you alright? Just talk to me once."
And another.
"Please."
No reply.
The message status remained unchanged.
A hollow feeling settled in my chest.
I continued scrolling through her profile.
Most of the posts were old.
Photos of little things she liked.
Quotes she had reposted.
Small glimpses of a life I had never paid enough attention to.
The realization left a bitter taste in my mouth.
For two years, I had lived beside her.
Yet now, scrolling through her account, I was discovering parts of her I had never known.
My thumb paused over a picture of the ocean.
Then another.
And another.
Alicia really did love the water.
I remembered something Nana once told me shortly after our marriage.
"That girl loves the ocean. One day, take her to M city. She’s always wanted to go."
M city was a place full of oceans and different tourist attractions.
As a person who loved the ocean and nature,it was only natural that Alicia wanted to go there.
Back then, Nana had even suggested we spend our honeymoon there.
I had refused.
Work was too important.
At least, that was the excuse I had used.
A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
If I could go back in time, I would have taken her there myself.
Just as I was about to close the app, a repost caught my attention.
My eyes narrowed.
It was a photograph of a luxury resort surrounded by crystal-clear blue water.
The caption read:
"Wish I could take a break and enjoy the waters for a while".
My heartbeat quickened.
I immediately opened the image.
The scenery looked familiar.
Hope surged through me.
Without wasting another second, I scrolled through my contacts and dialed a number.
The call was answered almost instantly.
"Mr. Blackwood."
"I’m forwarding you a photo," I said. "Find out exactly where it was taken. I want the location immediately."
"Understood."
The line disconnected.
A few minutes later, my phone vibrated.
Henry had sent the results.
My eyes locked onto the screen.
The resort was located in M city.
A strange mixture of relief and anticipation washed over me.
I trusted Henry’s abilities completely. As the head of Aurelius Technology’s cyber security team, he had never been wrong.
Could Alicia really be there?
I immediately forwarded the information to Jane.
Prepare the private jet.
Book me a room at this resort.
As soon as possible.
Jane replied almost instantly.
Understood, sir.
I stared at the photograph again.
I could have contacted the resort directly and asked whether Alicia was staying there.
But after days of searching without results, I already knew it wouldn’t be that simple.
Alicia had gone out of her way to disappear.
She was likely using different identification, different payment methods, and different contact information.
She didn’t want to be found.
Which meant there was only one option left.
I would go there myself.
No matter what it took, I had to find her.
I stood up and headed back to the master bedroom, intending to pack a few personal belongings for the trip.
