279. The One Who Is Missing 

Enya‘s POV: 

“Oh My God!” I have been freaking out ever since I saw the dead body on the ground and Christina crying in the corner. 

“Maynard! No!” I was still in disbelief at how he ruined his life in a matter of minutes. 

“Maynard! Where is he?” Lazlo rushed towards me and whispered in my ear. I shared a sad look with him because I knew Maynard had messed up big time. It was too obvious what had happened here.

“Pick her up,” I suggested, and he did so. I turned around and noticed Thiago had walked out of here. Maybe the sight of blood was too much for him. Lazlo and I made sure nobody got in
