In the days that followed , Benjamin was like a soulless shell , sustained by only one thought : to find Isabel . He mobilized all his connections and resources , searching for her with a desperate frenzy . Yet Isabel seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth , leaving not a single trace . He returned to the marital home he once shared with Isabel , where every corner used to be filled with her presence , every object a record of their former happiness . Now , all that remained was a suffocating emptiness and silence . All traces left by Gianna had been thoroughly erased , and everything in the villa was restored to its original state . But the person who mattered most to him had disappeared , and all of this only served to remind him more clearly of what he had lost . Every night , he lay on the bed they once shared , scrolling again and again through the photos and videos of the two of them on his phone , looking at Isabel's radiant smile , listening to her gentle voice calling , " Benjamin . " It felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart , the pain so intense he could hardly breathe . The more beautiful the memories , the more they tormented him , and every morning he woke to an empty embrace . Alcohol became his only anesthetic . He spent his days drunkenly curled up on the living room floor , surrounded by countless empty bottles , the air thick with the stench of liquor . He muttered to the air , sometimes sobbing in remorse , sometimes screaming Isabel's name in hysteria . " Isabel ... where are you ... come back ... I beg you , come back ... " " I was wrong ... I really know I was wrong ... " " 1 Day after day passed , but there was still no news of Isabel . From his initial anxiety and anger , he gradually became numb and hopeless . Every time his phone rang , he would snatch it up like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline , but each time it was never the message he was waiting for . Hope flared up again and again , only to be extinguished , until all that was left was a heap of hopeless ashes . Just as he was about to be completely consumed by endless regret and longing , the phone tossed in the corner sudden- ly rang sharply . 0.0 % 12:47 Chapter 14 It was his assistant's exclusive ringtone . 288 Vouchers Benjamin's vacant gaze instantly sharpened . He scrambled over , pressing the answer button with trembling fingers , his voice hoarse beyond recognition : " Speak ! Is there news about Isabel ?! " On the other end , the assistant was already used to his manic state and quickly reported , " Mr. Bagnall , we still haven't found Mrs. Bagnall's exact whereabouts , but we did find something else . I've sent it to your email . " Hope dashed once more , the light in Benjamin's eyes instantly dimmed . He roared in frustration , " Why are you call- ing if you haven't found her ! I want news about her ! I want her ! " " Mr. Bagnall , please check your email first ! " The assistant hurriedly added , his tone somewhat unusual . " It's about ... Ms. Dacombe . I think you need to know immediately . " Gianna ? A wave of intense unease surged in Benjamin's heart . He abruptly hung up and , with trembling fingers , opened his email . There were three videos and a document inside . He opened the document first , and after reading just a few lines , he was shaking all over with rage . It turned out that Isabel finding him back then was not a coincidence at all ! It was Gianna who had deliberately leaked his whereabouts in the fishing village ! She had calculated that Isabel would definitely come looking for him , and also that after Benjamin agreed to her ro- mantic proposal , he would be forced to keep up the act of amnesia , and would naturally bring her back to the Bagnal- I's manor , back to the marital home he shared with Isabel ! Breathing heavily , Benjamin clicked on the first video . In the footage , Gianna's face was twisted with malicious delight as she slashed at Isabel's face in the wedding photo with a knife , cursing viciously , " Bitch ! Who allowed you to smile so happily with Benjamin ? Benjamin is mine now ! His wife can only be me ! " Then she rushed into Isabel's room , dug out Isabel's treasured doll , and stabbed it madly with the knife , as if it were Isabel herself . The second video was in a corner of the terrace during Margot's birthday party . Gianna , originally wearing a provocative smile , approached Isabel , but the moment she saw him coming , she sudden- ly snatched the champagne from Isabel's hand and poured it all over herself , then instantly switched to a tearful per- formance .
