Chapter: 18
******
Liam's POV
The only thing on my mind was my mission to her house. As soon as I stepped out of the arena, I saw a cab highlighting me. Without hesitation, I entered.
"Secretariat Avenue," I called out. He told me the price, and I got in. It didn't take long before I made it to Alexis' apartment, my pulse pounding in my ears with guilt and shame. The building loomed before me, familiar yet suddenly foreign. Something felt off.
I breathed heavily before I knocked, but there was no answer.
I knocked again, harder this time. Still nothing.
My chest tightened. Alexis never disappeared without a word. Never. And aside from that, where could she have been? Just like me, she wasn't the type to stay out late, and she didn't have any friends aside from myself and Roman. So where could she be? Or was she at home and didn't want to answer me?
