When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1426 Release Cassandra

Nathaniel stood before her, looking utterly drained and disheveled, his face haggard from days of searching.

"I've looked into Stella and found no connection to Cecilia's disappearance. What else are you hiding from me?" he asked.

Had it not been for Cassandra's connection to the Rainsworth family and her status as Queenie's adopted daughter, Nathaniel would have undoubtedly lost control and did away with her by now.

A mixture of confusion and frustration clouded Cassandra's expression as she muttered under her breath, "How could this be? She was the one who said she'd take Cecilia out, and those two children..." Nathaniel's gaze hardened as he stepped closer, his voice low and tense. "Are you going to tell me the truth or not?"

Cassandra repeated, "I don't know anything. It was Stella, I swear."

Nathaniel, his patience wearing thin, turned on his heel and walked out of the room, leaving Cassandra once again immersed in the suffocating silence and darkness that surrounded her.

Cassandra's voice echoed in the dark room as she desperately pleaded, "Nathaniel, let me out! Someone, please, let me out!"

It was in that moment of helplessness that she realized she had been deceived by Stella.

Nathaniel stepped outside. As he checked his phone, he saw a slew of missed calls-some from Queenie, others from Elena. He dialed Queenie's number first. "What's going on?"

"Mr. Rainsworth," Queenie began, her tone cautious, almost hesitant, "have we made any progress? Any leads on Cecilia?" "Not yet," Nathaniel responded.

Queenie's disappointment intensified as she heard that. "How's Cassandra?"
