Stella's heart raced violently inside her chest as she waited anxiously for a response from the other end of the line.
Ever since she helpled her clear her name from the accusations of her disastrous engagement banquet and the hasty marriage she had entered into with Adrian, she had completely lost contact with her best friend.
What troubled her even more was that every attempt she made to locate Linda had ended in failure.
She had searched repeatedly without finding even the slightest clue.
Lilian had also made inquiries on her behalf, but the answer she received was exactly the same. Linda simply could not be traced.
It was as though she had vanished into thin air without leaving behind a single footprint.
Even the promise they had made to meet after the banquet had never been fulfilled.
More than once, Stella had wondered if Linda had deliberately turned her back on her after everything that had happened that night.
Or had something terrible happened to her?
