Capítulo 98: Problem

It's already past seven. The peaceful night sky was adorned with millions of bright stars. The orange moon was large, and bright as it proudly stood on the horizon. The night was perfect for lovers to sneak out and watch the picturesque star-studded evening. Except that I'm not in the balcony to revere to the beautiful scenery that appears almost within my reach. I'm not in the mood to stargaze.

Ace hasn't returned yet and I'm dead worried about him. I tried calling him earlier but no one was answering. Then Elisa discovered that he left his phone lying on top of the glass table inside the parlor. Perhaps he was in a hurry when he and his unexpected visitor left. It never crossed his mind to bring it with him.

I paced back and forth on the space of the balcony with arms folded under my breasts. As the time passes by my unease deepens. What if something happened to him all the way? I shuddered at the thought. Please Lord, hopefully not, I pleaded.
