The moment those words left her mouth, everyone in the room froze. It felt like I was some kind of recording device, capturing every flicker of surprise on their faces.

I had been "dead" for days, and yet, the truth, that I had never gone to Cloudville, was something they could've easily confirmed with a phone call. My family, my husband-none of them had even bothered to check.

It was like they'd simply let me "disappear." If word got out, it would be the biggest joke in town.

Luke's face turned as white as a sheet. He must be pondering about everything that had happened recently.

Whether in those vague videos or those so-called Ms. Sander, he had never seen me in person from the start.

The video footage was blurry, and in his anger, he hadn't even thought to show my photo to the neighbors for verification before storming off.

But now, Grandma had spoken, shattering everyone's assumptions. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Mom, are you sure Chloe didn't go to Cloudville?" My father inquired, his face stern.

Grandma disregarded him. "She's your daughter, you should know if she went or not. Or do you just not care if she's alive or dead?" Her words landed like a slap across their faces.

"Mom, our family's been through a lot recently. I just haven't had the chance to look into it, but I'll do it right now," my father muttered. While they spoke, Luke had already dialed Roy. Three minutes later, Roy called him back.

"How is it?" he asked.

"Mr. Bolton, your wife did book a ticket to Cloudville, but she didn't board the flight. There's no record of her passing through security either. I've sent someone to check if she ever made it to the airport, but pulling the surveillance footage will take some time." Luke's expression turned grim as he spoke, "Don't just check that day. Go over every other possible time, place, and mode of transportation. I want everything reviewed thoroughly."

"Understood, Mr. Bolton."

Now, he couldn't declare me as missing. The only certainty was that I had never left for Cloudville.
