The real culprits.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

Ashley hesitated, her eyes dropping for a moment before meeting mine again.

"No," she said softly. "I've been trying to reach him, but his line has been unreachable. I intended to go look for him but..." Her voice trailed off, and she squeezed my hand gently. "You were unconscious, and I didn't want to leave your side for long."

I nodded, pain piercing my heart. What was I expecting? That Jared would leave the bosom of his lover -Sofia, to come look for me? Even though I lost my child and i'm in this state because of them? I felt a bitter laugh rising in my throat, but it died before it could escape.

Ashley broke into my thoughts. "I'll try calling him again," she said, reaching for her phone. "If he's still unreachable by phone, I'll go look for him. It's so weird that he hasn't looked for you all this while." "Don't," I whispered.

Ashley paused to look at me quizzically, but I just shook my head again.

"Don't bother, Ash. He's probably busy." The words stung, but I knew it was the truth.
