Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Atlas sensed my discomfort and explained, "We can't confirm anything right now. We're still getting the details from the airport."

"Why did they say she's no longer within the borders of Jitador?" I questioned Atlas, feeling lost at this piece of news.

"That was Jared's speculation. After he arrived, we initiated a comprehensive investigation involving the Attwood and Huffman families, and our people. During that time, the hotel surveillance malfunctioned. This is definitely not a coincidence."

Atlas slowly walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, gazing at the darkening sky outside. He continued, "But before the malfunction, the surveillance showed that Trinity was in her room the entire time. No unfamiliar faces entered her floor at night. The surveillance glitch started around midnight, and at 1:45 AM, she even had her bodyguard, Erik, bring her late-night snacks."

My mind was trying to process what Atlas was saying. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"When did they discover she was missing?" I asked.

"They realized something was wrong at 6:25 AM. They had booked the earliest flight back to Foswood, and Trinity and Erik had agreed that he would wake her up at 6:25 AM. But Erik couldn't open the door when he knocked in the morning.

"In the end, he realized something was off and got the duty manager to open the room. It was empty. Her luggage was packed, and there were signs that she had slept in the bed, but she was gone." "This seems like it was premeditated," I murmured. "Otherwise, the timing wouldn't be so coincidental."

"According to the hotel, surveillance was restored at 5 AM. No one knows where Trinity went during the three hours when surveillance was out," Atlas explained.

"Why does Jared think she's left the country?" I questioned Atlas persistently. I was skeptical about this part and wanted more details.

"Based on our joint investigation, we found no signs of anyone intending harm to Trinity, but she disappeared very suddenly. That's why Jared thinks she might have left the country on her own." Atlas turned to look at me. "That aligns with my own speculations."
