As a result, Grady wasn’t as capable as he thought.
“Has Grady been found yet?”
Brayan asked Jamie.
Jamie shook his head.
“Keep looking, seeing is believing.”
“Yeah.”
After Jamie left, Brayan saw Catalina lying on the bed as if she was asleep.
“Brayan…”
He had just stood up when he heard Catalina mumbling.
“Don’t go…Brayan…don’t…don’t leave me…don’t leave me alone…”
Catalina frowned, sweat beading on her forehead, Brayan knew Catalina was having a nightmare.
Went abroad for a wedding, got kidnapped, even though rescued, it’s hard to feel safe again, physically and mentally.
Brayan sat down again until Catalina was really asleep, then he quietly left.
He had two bodyguards stand at the door of Catalina’s room.
The corridor was silent as a tomb.

Brayan’s shoes stepped on the thick carpet.
There was no sound.
When Brayan looked up and saw the room number 1237, he realized he had somehow ended up at his own doorstep.
This room, it’s Jennifer’s too.
Brayan swiped the room card and opened the door, it was pitch black inside.
No one came back.
It’s almost midnight now.
The room was dark, reflecting in Brayan’s eyes, making Brayan’s eyes look dark too.
Brayan took out his phone and made a call.
The phone was for Jennifer.
Based on the information Jennifer sent him before, and Grady’s words, Jennifer should have left the dinner party with someone familiar, maybe a man.
The busy tone rang several times in the receiver, so long that Brayan thought this call wouldn’t go through.
At that moment, the phone rang.
“Hello?”
The voice coming from the receiver wasn’t Jennifer’s.
But a man’s.

Brayan slightly lowered his eyelids, his pupils as black as a windless winter night sea, like a deep and unfathomable ocean that is impossible to see through.
“Jasper… Jennifer was with you?”
Jasper on the phone was stunned for a moment.
He didn’t expect that Brayan actually recognized his voice.
“Yeah.”
He gave Brayan a firm answer.
“Let Jennifer answer the phone.”
Brayan’s voice, as always, was faint, cold, making it hard to accurately judge his emotions.
“She couldn’t answer the phone.”
Jasper’s voice was tinged with a hint of mockery.
Brayan raised his eyebrows and heard Jasper continue,
“She was already asleep, sleeping in my bed.”
…
Jasper’s tone was full of provocation, but Brayan just chuckled softly.
“A married woman sleeping in the bed of the groom–to–be who is getting married tomorrow… pretty exciting.”
After that, Brayan hung up the phone.
His thumb was still on the phone screen until it cracked.
Under the night sky, the sea was making a shushing sound, hitting the rocks and the beach.

The wind was cold, the water was cold, and the moonlight was cold.
17 Dune Road, Azure Bay.
During the day, this place was like a colorful blue scarf.
This bay was private property, and the standalone sea–view villa was like sparkling jewels on a scarf.
But at night, it kinda looks like a cage.
Jasper stood by the window, feeling the damp sea breeze on his face, bringing a salty smell.
He held a phone in his hand.
The phone was Jennifer’s.
Behind him, there was a very spacious bedroom.
He was not facing a wall, but a huge floor–to–ceiling glass window.
Through the clean glass, he could see Jennifer lying on the big bed in the bedroom.
Jennifer was still asleep, covered with a blanket, but that soaking wet dress had already been taken off.
It was taken off by Jasper himself.
He still doesn’t know what happened to Jennifer until now.
