She hurried her way to her room in search of her phone. With her trembling hands, she called Diana and wished for her to receive her call right away.

"Sylvia, when did you leave the party? I looked everywhere for you. Where have you been?."
"Ramsey can you please pick me up from my apartment right now?" she said in a hoarse voice. Being with her for almost 4 years now, Ramsey was able to recognize the worry in her voice and agreed instantly. After 20 minutes, he arrived at her apartment. He knocked on the door but heard no sound. "Sylvia, I'm here. Ramsey. Open the door.". The door was opened in a blink. She quickly let him in and locked the door before anyone could see her.
Ramsey was shocked to look at her haggard face and reddened eyes. Every tear that rolled down her eyes looked like a sparkling jewel under the moonlight that was coming from the long floor-to-ceiling glass window.

He was taken aback with shock and fury in his eyes.

To her surprise, the tall man held the door tight pushing it so hard that Sylvia fell on the ground. Ramsey was looking at the scene in sheer horror not knowing what was happening and why. In this very moment, Ramsey was thinking to himself if he ever knew who Sylvia's past. he ha

He looked down to Sylvia with a cunning smile on his face and said, "Did you not know me? Anything that I get my eyes on, can never live beyond my reach. Was it so difficult for you to understand, dear WIFE?."
