"How did this happen? How could she just vanish from the airport? And what were you doing? Have you been sleeping?" Sebastian's voice thundered with a mix of agitation and incredulity.
He had been distraught ever since he learned Ella had gone missing from the airport. He had already dispatched spies to track her down. Even though 24 hours had passed, there had been no update on her.
Adding to his predicament, Jasper was conspicuously out of reach. Sebastian realized Jasper had learned about Ella. He was annoyed. Everything that he had planned didn't work.
Sebastian initially intended to keep Jasper occupied dealing with Raulf. He had prepared to fabricate a compelling story upon Jasper's return, convincing him that Ella had abandoned him. However, the unforeseen disappearance of Ella altered the dynamics, leaving Sebastian in the dark about her whereabouts and the identity of those who aided her escape.
