Chapter 20: The Search Continues
The next morning, Lucas lay in bed, his head throbbing as the familiar ache pounded against his skull.
He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the pain, but it was relentless.
It wasn't just the physical discomfort—it was the mental turmoil swirling inside him, an unshakable storm that wouldn't let up.
Aurora. She was still all he could think about.
He reached for his phone on the nightstand, his fingers moving swiftly as he dialled Amos's number.
His heart pounded in sync with the urgency that had been building for hours.
Every passing hour without answers gnawed at him, fueling his desperation to unravel the mystery surrounding Aurora's disappearance in the city and the secrets buried in her past.
As the phone rang, he prayed for some kind of breakthrough—any lead that could finally shed light on where she was and why her history seemed so shrouded in darkness.
The phone rang and rang, but Amos didn't pick up.
With each passing second, Lucas's frustration grew, his anger bubbling beneath the surface.
Damn it.
