Ariana was confused.

"Since they have been divorced for more than a year, why is Lynch causing trouble for Sarah now? Can't he just move on?"

Sonia scoffed and said in a low voice, “Lynch is a playboy. Actually, calling him a playboy is putting it Lightly. He's a dog! Recently, I heard his new bitch is a senior manager of his agent company. She doesn't like Sarah, so she asked him to do something to ruin Sarah's career."

The pieces of the puzzle were finally coming together. This was why

Sarah was at the receiving end of the whole drama!

Ariana got angry after this realization. She inquired, “Is there a way to dig up dirt on him?"

After a moment's silence, Sonia answered, “Yeah, I guess so."

"Tell me!" Ariana said anxiously.

“Well, I have a flash drive. The information on his phone can be stolen easily as long as I can get it connected for a while. But Lynch is a vigilant man. Several paparazzi have been keeping tabs on him, but they still haven't gotten anything incriminating. He's always one step ahead of them and cleans his tracks pretty well. I hate to say this but it's practically impossible to get close to him.”

Ariana pondered hard and made a decision.

“You know what? Just help me get his schedule. I‘1l find a way to approach him."

Later that night, a strange noise from the window woke Ariana up from her deep slumber.

It was raining heavily outside. The heavy raindrops were hitting the window hard. The air was so cold.

Ariana turned around, intending to check on Alina who was supposed to be asleep beside her. To her utter surprise, the space was empty and cold.

Where did Alina go?

The sleep cleared off Ariana's eyes in a split second. She got out of bed. She checked the bathroom and ran out of the bedroom, looking for the child.

Ariana looked everywhere, but Alina was nowhere to be found. She finally stopped at the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

It was the only floor left to be checked.

ALL the Lights were turned off here. Using her phone as a flashlight,

Ariana walked to the fourth floor and called Alina's name in a low voice.
