Chapter 61: Isaac and Jaxon are both missing.
Nathaniel arrived at the villa in record time, tension radiating from every step as he marched through the doors. Roberto was already waiting, standing near the living room, phone in hand.
"Sir," he greeted with a quick nod.
Nathaniel returned the nod and dropped onto the sofa, his posture stiff. "What else did you find?"
Roberto stepped forward. "Her last call was from her father. Not long after that, Isaac came to the office. Surveillance picked up part of their interaction. Here—have a look."
He held out his phone and tapped the screen.
Nathaniel leaned in as the video played. Zara was walking out of the office building, her posture immediately shifting when she spotted Isaac outside the gate, waiting for her. Even without sound, the tension between them was obvious. Her arms were crossed, her body stiff, and her expression unreadable but clearly uneasy.
Nathaniel’s eyes sharpened as he saw Zara walking away. The footage showed Isaac fidgeting, then pulling something from his pocket and following her.
Nathaniel snatched the phone from Roberto for a closer look. He rewound the clip and watched again, slower.
The angle wasn’t great—the curve of the road and the building’s shadow made it hard to see the details, but the next part was undeniable.
Isaac was shown dragging Zara’s limp body toward his car.
Nathaniel’s entire body tensed. His hands clenched around the phone.
