Chapitre 105: Book 2 : Chapter 3

Leo's POV

Two weeks ago.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Cato squealed jumping on the bed. "Wake up!"

I opened my eyes, looked at the clock and groaned. I don't remember the last time I wasn't woken up before 6 am.

"Can I have a cuddle?" He asked, crawling onto my back.

I sighed and lifted him off my back and into the air.

He screamed with delight as I threw him up and caught him again.

"Come here, you little monkey!" I said, hugging him tightly as he giggled.

I then looked beside me to Ella's side of the bed.

"Cato, where's Mommy?" I asked in a far more serious tone.

"Maybe she downstairs. Or running," Cato replied.

But she never goes for a run without telling me first. Never.

I stood up with him still in my arms and made my way into the hall.

"Ella?" I called.

No response.

"Ells? Where are you?" I called again.

Still no response.

I searched the library, kitchen, living room and all my children's rooms but still no Ella.
