Chapter 3
199 Words
Meanwhile, across the city—
Ethan sat in his office, trying to focus on work.
But something felt off.
He glanced at his phone.
No messages.
No calls.
No Lina.
For three years, she always checked on him.
“Have you eaten?”
“Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Come home early…”
Now…
Nothing.
His jaw tightened.
“Good,” he muttered. “Peace at last.”
But why did it feel so uncomfortable?
Days turned into weeks.
Lina disappeared completely.
No trace.
No contact.
Ethan finally snapped.
“Find her.”
His assistant froze. “Sir?”
“I said find her!” Ethan slammed his desk. “She couldn’t have just vanished!”
It was the first time…
He sounded angry about her absence.
Meanwhile—
Lina had already left the city.
In a quiet neighborhood far away, she stood in front of a small apartment.
It wasn’t luxurious.
It wasn’t grand.
But it was hers.
A fresh start.
She placed her hand on her stomach again.
“We’ll be okay,” she whispered.
But that night…
She cried herself to sleep.
Not because she missed Ethan.
But because…
A part of her still loved him.
