Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 996

With the pedal to the metal, the sports car's roar fades as it speeds away. Heading toward the bustling city, the seaside, and the freedom that beckons.

No cars ahead, and Molly's got that accelerator floored. The thrill makes it tough for the trio to snap steady pics. The speed's a bit much for little Henry in the backseat; his eyes squeeze shut, "Ah, mama-" Mia pops sunglasses on her son, letting him stand on her legs to take in the view zooming by. Henry waves his chubby arms in the wind, cheering with a cute baby shout, "Woohoo!"

The sisters are buzzing with excitement and adrenaline. From the airport outskirts to the city center, they cruise through traffic under the blazing sun, making a stylish entrance into Havenbrook. Leo spots his car parked at home and tries calling Anya, "Phone's off?"

Another try, same result. Finally, he turns to his mom, "Mom, where's she at?"

"Didn't she head out to find you?"

Thinking Anya might've gone to his place and they just missed each other, Leo heads back to his rental. But the room's empty.

Knocking on his roommate's door, Leo asks, "Stony, seen my girl?"

Stony opens the door, scratching his head, "Late shoot last night, slept like a log, didn't see anyone."

Leo frowns, worried about Ms. Anya suddenly going MIA.

Over at the police station, Donnie's messaging account finally gets sorted. As Chad's about to clock out, looking forward to the evening, the security guard stops him at the door.

"Officer Chad, go home and patch things up with Molly. This back-and-forth isn't good, especially with her expecting. As her husband, you gotta be more understanding. Molly came by today to pick you up; we talked a bit. If you two make up..." "Molly came today?" Chad's heart skips a beat.

The guard nods, "She came around noon, but left in a hurry. Tried calling her back."

Chad panics, "What did you
