MELISSA
I arrived at the driveway hoping to come across Vanessa, but there was no single sign of her. I decided to check other parts of the mansion, like beside the garden and the water fountain, but there was still no sign of her.
How could this even be possible? She couldn’t have just vanished into thin air.
I stood outside, trying to wrap my head around it. Picking up my steps afterward, I realized there was no use. I just had to live with the fact that I had lost her.
When I arrived back at the entrance my eyes landed on Mother, who was the last person I wanted to see right now.
“Melissa!” my mother said. “You just ran out like that, right in the middle of our conversation.”
“I had something very important to do.”
“More important than our conversation.” My mother arched a brow.
