James turned, opened the car door, and sat inside.
Yet, he didn't start the car immediately, instead, he slowly rotated his phone in his hand.
Although he could tell Nick's words were deliberate earlier, something about them felt off.
Pondering, James reopened his phone, looked up Mirabella's number, and called her.
The phone connected quickly, but no one answered. It wasn't until the last ring that James hung up.
It was already past eight in the evening. Where could Mira be? She wasn't responding to messages, not answering calls, even Nick had no clue.
James felt puzzled and finally looked up at the villa before starting the car and driving away.
An hour after he got home, James picked up his phone to call again.
This time, the call wasn't unanswered; after two rings, it was abruptly hung up.
James frowned, his gaze falling on the phone screen; right then, a message popped up.
It was from an unknown number, the content was an address.
Identical to the message he had deleted earlier.
Seeing this message, a slight heaviness settled in James's heart.
The call with Mirabella had just been disconnected when he received this address again, clearly, it wasn't just a coincidence.
Mulling over it, he dialed the number that had sent the message.
