My soul was bound to Mark, but I did not know what he was trying to pull.
Then, when Jacob showed up, Mark immediately stood up to welcome him.
But the empty spot beside him made Mark look momentarily dejected.
He immediately called for the bodyguards hiding on the balcony of the hotel and whispered, “Search through Jacob’s car. If you
find even a strand of Jane’s hair, report to me.”
He then lit up a cigarette.
He smoked quickly and fiercely; it made him cough nonstop.
The bodyguards soon returned.
“Mr. Frank, we found no traces of Mrs. Frank, not even a strand of her hair…”
“Damn it! Where is she hiding?!”
Mark was enraged and slammed his hand against the hotel’s balustrade.
A bodyguard looked up. He looked like he had something to say.
When Mark returned from the balcony, the guests had started leaving.
Jacob stormed over and grabbed Mark’s collar. “You smashed my car?!”
Mark avoided his gaze but still yelled back, “If you have any sense in you, hand Jane over! Otherwise, it won’t be just your car I’ll be smashing!”
Jacob shot back, “Just how long are you going to continue lying to yourself, Mark?”
