Chapter 13

Nathan couldn’t shake an inexplicable sense of irritation as he scrolled absentmindedly through his chat history with Isabella.

Back then, she would reach out almost daily to greet him with good morning and good night messages. She eagerly shared the scenery she saw, the food she tasted–practically every tiny detail of her life. To him, it had felt annoyingly clingy.

But ever since he had sent her abroad, it was as if she had vanished into thin air. She had not sent him a single message

since then.

chat window.

Nathan froze.

Had Isabella’s account been hacked?

He quickly found her international number and dialed.

After several rings, an automated voice message answered: **“We’re sorry. The number you dialed is no longer in service.“**

Shocked, Nathan stared at his phone in disbelief.

His assistant, standing nearby, offered a hesitant suggestion:

Nathan’s expression darkened, cycling between pale and furious.

The reality sank in after a long pause: Isabella had blocked him.
