I looked at the photos in my hands, and I still couldn't believe everything that was revealed to me. The man who gave me this information had been gone for some time, and yet the conversation between us kept playing in my head.

"I have the information about your girlfriend, Alpha Kael." He said after I acknowledged his greetings.

"Ex-girlfriend." I corrected him before I pointed to the chair in front of my desk, motioning for him to sit down. "Let's get to the point, as I don't have the luxury of time today."

He nodded his head, then placed a brown envelope on the table and pushed it toward me before taking his seat. "That's what I collected in the forty-eight hours that I followed her. She didn't go anywhere besides that apartment. They went out three times to a drive- through and bought groceries.

"You will understand more once you see the photos inside."

Without saying anything more, I grabbed my letter opener and proceeded to open the envelope. I ignored the written documents and went for the photos, and my heart began pounding loudly at the first one that I saw.

"They just moved there a month ago, so I was unable to confirm the age with anyone. They seldom communicate with their neighbor next door. However, based on the baby's physical features, it appears to be around four or five months old. ""Is there a man with her?" I asked.

"No. But there is a woman who I assume takes care of the baby when she's not there."

"How sure are you that the baby is hers?"
