Chapter 61

• Astra had been missing for two days and Nicholas was sure that he would go crazy. There had been no hints from the police. Nicholas was regretting not letting Astra become bait for Ray. It would have been much easier to track down Ray. The police had tried to track the vehicles that brought Stephanie and Theo back home but the plate numbers were fake. The only thing that gave him a bit of joy was the fact that both Theo and Stephanie were well. Steph was discharged from the hospital that day, thankfully she did not lose the baby. Nicholas was sure that she would be having conflicting feelings, she was carrying the child of a man that had threatened to kill her and was obsessed with her friend.
• Nicholas was hoping to get some information about Ray’s hideout from Stephanie. She was better than she was before and so it will be easier to talk to her. Sarah, Jared and Nicholas together with Steph were seated in Nicholas’ living room. Jared started living in his house temporarily for safety purposes. Nicholas had tightened up the security in the house. Nicholas was a bit surprised that Jared so easily agreed to stay. Nicholas was seeing some kind of chemistry between Jared and his cousin. He was not sure whether he should be thankful or not. It meant that Jared would not be interested in Astra anymore, but his cousin.
• “Do you remember anything from where you were held?” Sarah asked Stephanie, who looked a bit confused.
