Chapter 43: Dissapointment
----Continuation of Flashback 3 years ago----
Loren was panicking, her hands trembling as she desperately redialed Alfi's number over and over again. The last thing she had heard on their call was his voice, sounding tense—something was wrong at the airport. And now, the call wouldn't go through. Alfi's phone had gone dark.
Her chest tightened.
She was already pacing back and forth at the arrival area, uncertain of what to do, when her eyes suddenly caught sight of a commotion near one of the airport exits. A group of policemen was escorting someone in handcuffs.
Her heart sank.
Her eyes widened.
It was Alfi.
Without hesitation, she ran toward him, shouting at the top of her lungs,
"Alfi! Alfi!"
Her cries pierced the noise of the airport, and Alfi turned his head toward her, equally distressed.
"Loren!" he called out, struggling against the grip of the officers who were holding him tightly by both shoulders.
