Chapter 10 Camila waited all night at the restaurant . From dusk to dawn , Chase never came back . Just after dawn , with dark circles etched deep under her eyes , she finally got the call . " Come to the Whitmore estate . I need to talk to you . " The moment Camila arrived , a vase came flying her way . She stumbled back in shock . " Chase ! What the hell are you doing ?! " He hurled a flash drive at her feet , his voice ice - cold . " See for yourself . " Camila plugged it in . A woman's gut - wrenching sobs burst out of the speakers , startling her so badly she dropped the drive . " W - What ... what is that sound ... " She instinctively reached out to grab Chase's arm . Only to be shoved aside . " You're trembling from the sound alone ? What about when you sent those men to touch her ?! " Chase's glare was lethal . Camila froze , then quickly recovered . " I didn't ! Weren't those men sent by you ? What does that have to do with me ? " " I only told them to scare her - grab her and shake her up a bit . I never told them to actually touch her ! " Chase stared her down , suspicion clouding his expression . " Tell me now - was it you ? " " No ! " Camila didn't even flinch . Chapter 10 25.97 % " This has nothing to do with me ! That video could be fake for all we know . Nora probably made it to frame me so you'd pity her ! " " You know what she's like ! She's never liked me . She's always tried to ruin me . This is what she does - twist things , manipulate people , stage a sob story . " " If you believe her ... you're playing right into her hands ! " Chase's once - solid resolve began to waver . Camila's argument - it made a kind of sense . Nora had been acting out more lately . Hostile , irrational . Maybe this was just another act - a cut - and - stitched performance to reel him back in . And that part where she floated mid - air like someone was lifting her ? How was that even real ? The more he thought about it , the more his earlier panic and guilt faded . " I'm sorry , Camila . I lost my head , that's all . Forgive me . " A flicker of spite passed through Camila's eyes , though her smile remained sweet . " It's okay . She'll come back when she calms down . " " And you totally left me hanging at the restaurant last night . You ditched me all night - you owe me today . Big time . " Her coy little smile made Chase's remaining doubts vanish . " Alright . What kind of apology do you want ? " " I want you all to myself . The entire day . " " You got it , " Chase spent the whole day glued to Camila's side But his phone didn't stop ringing once . Every thirty minutes , another report came in . " Sir , we've searched every inch of the estate - the stables , the barns , even the ravines . No sign of Mrs. Whitmore , " " Sir , we dispatched helicopters and drones to the private island . Still no trace of her . " Chapter 10 25.97 % " Sir , we've checked every street and hotel she frequently visited . Nothing . " " Sir , we spoke to her closest friends . None of them know where she is . " With every call , Chase's expression darkened further . Sensing his mood , Camila dragged him toward the giant swing ride . " This one's a couples ride ! They say if you kiss at the highest point , you'll be together forever- " Bang . Chase slammed his fist into the ride's metal post . His eyes bored into Camila . " It was you . " " You set Nora up . You had yourself kidnapped , pinned it on her - and let those bastards touch her . Camila , you're monstrous . " Camila's face went pale . " W - What are you talking about ?! I told you that footage is fake- ! " " It's all fake ! She made it to trick you - she's obsessed with breaking us apart- Chase suddenly let out a low , sinister laugh . " ) Just now , after that last call , his bodyguard had sent over a second video - with audio this time . Everything was there . Clear as day . Camila's involvement . Her orders . Her cruelty . All this time ... He'd been played for a fool . " Chase - what are you doing ?! Don't come any closer- ! " Her words were cut off by a strangled gasp . His hands were around her neck . Tight . Her face turned purple . She clawed at his arms . Chapter 10 25.97 % " It wasn't me ... Chase ... it was her ... she framed me ... she's jealous ... of your love for me- " Camila's body went slack , dropping like a puppet with cut strings . Chase tossed her into a corner of the amusement park . People stared . Whispered . He didn't look back . As he walked away , he was already on the phone- Mobilizing every contact , every last asset he had . Mobilizing every person under the Whitmore name to search for Nora . Camila lay crumpled on the ground , fingernails bent out of shape from how tightly she'd clutched her fists . Her nails dug into her palms . Her eyes burned - not with grief , but hate . Why ?! She'd finally managed to push Nora out . So why was Chase still obsessed with that woman ? What did Nora have that she didn't ?! She refused to lose . Not to that woman . Not again . That evening , Chase finally got a lead . His secretary reported : " Sir , Sources say ... Mrs. Whitmore's been sighted at the Faulkner Estate - with Dominic Faulkner himself . " Chapter 10
