The man cleverly hid the SIM card inside the food along with the phone and pushed it under the door when he brought Lucian his lunch.
When Lucian opened the food container, his hands trembled as he discovered the SIM card and a small Nokia 3310 phone hidden in the rice. With shaky fingers, he quickly assembled the phone.
Without hesitation, he dialed Ava’s number....she was the only person on his mind, the one he thought about every day and night. His love for her only grew stronger with time.
But no matter how many times he tried, Ava didn’t pick up. The phone kept ringing, but no one answered. Lucian’s anxiety grew; he was desperate to hear her voice.
Meanwhile, Ava was seated with Jaxon, who was comforting her about what Lucian had done to her when her phone started ringing. She showed Jaxon the caller ID so he could see who it was.
Trying to calm her, Jaxon said softly, “Answer it. At least hear what he has to say.”
