Chapter 6

He ignored Sofia's tearful cries behind him, not stopping his stride.

However, the scene that greeted him was not what he had anticipated.

The villa was in complete disarray, with blood-stained broken furniture strewn across the floor.

The horrifying sight of blood made his heart clench.

He searched the entire house but could not find any trace of Isabella.

He dared not imagine what Isabella had endured after he left that day.

His gaze fell on the wedding ring lying silently on the table.

Isabella used to cherish this ring above all else, never taking it off.

With reddened eyes, he cradled the ring in his palm, only now truly believing that Isabella was gone.

At this moment, memories of his time with Isabella flooded his mind.

Her smile, her tolerance, her gentleness, everything about her...

His hand trembled involuntarily as he picked up his phone, dialing that unanswered number over and over again.
