My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary, and my jaw clenched.
My phone rang again.
I pressed the button on the dashboard. "Tell me you have good news," I said sharply.
The voice on the other end hesitated. "I'm sorry, sir, but we still haven't found the staff. We searched the southern borders and near the old ruins, but there's no trace."
My patience snapped. "Then search again!" I growled. "Every inch of that land. I don't care how long it takes. I want her found!"
"Yes, sir," came the hurried reply before the line went dead.
I exhaled heavily, dragging a hand over my face. I need to find that lady who lied about me sending her to kill Selene's mom. Once I get her, I will be able to prove to Selene that I am innocent, and maybe she could agree to be with me.
I sighed and took a deep breath. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about her.
