The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 598

Nathalie immediately dialed Nicol's number.

After three rings, the call connected.

"Yes, Ms. Nathalie?"

Nathalie's voice was tense. "Lance is missing. Did you notice?"

Nicol paused, sounding confused. "No? I'm only focused on you. There's no immediate threat around you right now. Could Mr. Adams have just stepped into the restroom?"

Nathalie frowned deeply. "Unlikely. He isn't answering his phone."

Nicol tried to rationalize it. "Maybe the restroom doesn't have good reception, so the call isn't going through. Ms. Nathalie, don't worry too much. Mr. Adams is more than capable; nothing's going to happen to him."

Nathalie wasn't convinced. "Come to my location right now. I feel completely on edge with him gone."

"Understood."

Shortly after hanging up, Nicol appeared. His massive, imposing frame stepping up beside her instantly provided a sense of security.

Minutes ticked by, and Lance still hadn't shown up.

Nathalie's chest tightened, anxiety spreading through her veins like poison.

Nicol scanned the perimeter. "I've notified Mr. Adams's security detail. They're searching the area now. Like I said, he's tough. He'll be fine."

Nathalie gave a stiff nod but said nothing.

She refused to move from her spot, choosing to wait exactly where she had lost him.

Nicol stood guard faithfully beside her. The chilling sensation of being watched had vanished completely.

If Lance hadn't disappeared, she might have genuinely believed her paranoia was acting up again.

Half an hour passed.

Nathalie's anxiety was peaking. The market was a cacophony of vendors shouting and tourists laughing, yet the one person she was looking for was nowhere in sight.

Confusion swirled in her eyes.

How could a grown man just vanish into thin air in the middle of a crowded market?
