Evelyn had blocked him.
His pupils shrank. His entire body shook.
A suffocating fear swallowed him whole.
Frantically, he scrolled through his phone, searching for any trace of her on social media.
Nothing.

Chapter 12
She had deleted everything.
Every single account was gone.
His mind went blank, his thoughts turning blank.
He racked his brains but couldn’t think of where else she could go.
Evelyn’s father had passed away when she was a child. Her mother had fallen ill a few years ago and also left this world.
She had nowhere to go.
His last hope was her friends.
Gripping his phone tightly, he made call after call. “Hey? It’s Matteo. Is Eve with you?”
“Huh? What the hell are you talking about? Why would she be here?”
All he got was the same response, over and over again. Even his own friends had no idea where she was.
The despair was unbearable.
It felt like he was trapped inside that same nightmare where Evelyn didn’t exist.
The feelings he had for her, the ones he had refused to acknowledge, suddenly consumed him entirely.
And now, she was gone.
It was like someone had ripped a piece of flesh straight from his chest.
The agony of it tore through him, threatening to break him completely.
“Eve, stop messing around, okay? I need to see you.”
