Just a few more days. That's all I needed.
A few more days and she'd be mine again.
My phone rang.
I looked at it. Nolan.
I stared at the screen. Let it ring.
Nolan and his parents had been looking for Mirabelle for months. Hired a PI. Spent money. Came up with nothing.
All that searching. All that time. And they never found her.
But Rook? Rook asked around Crosswell. Found people who knew her.
And that was all it took.
The phone stopped ringing. Then started again.
Nolan.
I declined the call. Blocked his number.
I didn't need him anymore. Didn't need any of them.
They'd been on my side from the start. Believed me when I told them Mirabelle was lying. Took my money. Helped me look for her.
But now? I didn't need them.
I had Rook. I had a plan. And soon, I'd have Mirabelle.
