Chapter 486 He Found Her

"I am reporting this to him not that I love it but I know he won't spare me if any harm comes to her under my watch," Kyle expressed. He dialled the number before the anxious Chris had the opportunity to stop him.

"Amos, is Joanna perhaps with you now?" Kyle asked, he rubbed his temple as he awaited Amos' reply.

"And what kind of silly question is that aah?" He grimaced and halted in the middle of the bright street.

"What prank are you trying to play...,"

"I am not playing pranks. I asked you this because Joanna had gone missing," Kyle blurted.

He covered his mouth after he realised what he had just said.

"M-m-missing!" Amos stuttered.

"W-who did you say is missing?" Amos asked, wishing he had misheard Kyle's words.

At that moment Kyle had no choice but to disclose what happened to Amos.

"She just disappeared into thin air. We are worried that she might have been attacked...,"

"I think I have a faint idea about where she might be. I will keep you posted after I have confirmed my hunch," Amos expressed and disconnected the call.

"So what do we do now?" Chris questioned after Amos disconnected the line.

"What else if not to keep on searching? We can't stop until we have confirmed that she is safe. That is the only moment we can relax," Audrey cuts in.

Instead of Kyle, she lead the search this time around.

Some minutes later Amos was seen in the front seat of a white car. Without wasting a second he ignited the car and zoomed off.

"You have to be there... no, you must be in the place I believed you are or else...," Amos trailed off.

He didn't even want to imagine what he will do if she ended up not being at the place he suspected her to be.

As everyone searches all the nooks and crannies of the City in search of Joanna, she was seen strolling inside a dark forest as if it were her home.

Joanna's mind was eaten away by a thousand thoughts as she navigates her way into the dense forest.

Knowing the forest like the back of her hands made it easy for her to locate the exact spot she was headed.

Joanna halted just in front of the flower garden Kayden had built for her.

Standing there, she can still vividly recall how she felt the first time she set foot there.

If she was to recount the happiest days in her life, that dreadful yet beautiful night would be on the list.

For the first time in her life, she was genuinely happy that someone apart from Audrey loved her so much to the point that he would dedicate such a beautiful place to her name.

"In the past, I was so mean to him. Often, I said hurtful words to drive him away from a cursed being like me. But never for once had he got mad or tried to keep his distance from me...," Joanna's eyes burned. Hot tears flowed from her eyes like raindrops.

"He went as far as creating this garden for me as his proposal gifts not minding the fact that his chances of success were this slim," Joanna demonstrated how slim his chances were with her fingers.

She loved the place. She always felt like she could touch the skies whenever she was here and that was why she almost lost her mind when she saw him and Amelia here that night.

This place had always brought her so much happiness but for some reason, she didn't feel such happiness tonight.

Instead, she felt like weeping her heart out.

"He was ready to go to any length to win my heart and make me his Queen so where did it all go wrong huh?" Joanna spoke to the garden as if it would answer back in the same manner she spoke.

Joanna lowered herself into a squatting position. She hugged her legs to her chest and let her tears flow freely.

"Is this perhaps my punishment for neglecting his feelings all these years," She whimpered.

Joanna stayed in this position for over ten minutes.

It was at this time that a guy who was worried out of his mind arrived.

[Oh... thank goodness she is here]

He stared at her from where he hid his right hand on his chest. No amount of words could describe how relieved he was that no harm came to her.

Afraid that she would sense his presence if he stayed there for long, he turned and loped in the same manner he came.

Soon, Amos was seen close to a black Mercedes car which was parked far away from the entrance of the forest.

He dialled someone's line and slowly guided the phone to his right ear.

"Did you see her or did she perhaps call you?" A lady's anxious voice came right after the first ring.

"I will give you a location right now...,"

"Does that mean you have found her?" Audrey blurted, not able to hide her excitement.

"I know you are with Kyle at the moment but I want you to come to the location I will send alone," Amos ignored her questioned and continued with his previous statement.

"Forget about ever earning my trust in the future if you dare as much comes with him or anyone else...,"

"Just send the location and I will follow your instructions without any doubts," The impatient Audrey couldn't wait for him to finish.

"Why did you exclude me...,"

"Come in the fastest time possible," He interrupted the unhappy Kyle's complaint.

He disconnected the call instantly before Kyle had the opportunity to complain again.

It wasn't until two minutes after he disconnected the call that Audrey's phone beeped.

Immediately, she clicked on the message that popped into her phone, Kyle stretched to peep at it but she moved away in time.

"Audrey, you aren't gonna do as he had said...,"

"You can return to the club along with Chris. I don't know how things are gonna turn out so I can't promise that I will join you...,"

"Audrey, why...,"

"I am sorry," Audrey apologised. Before the two guys could ask more questions or stop her, she was gone.
