Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 127

Just like a typical police man, Officer Smith covered every personal and professional aspect, even suspecting us of a possible abduction. He said,

"Melody is a habitual criminal with several connections with goons. Perhaps, some of his enemies took advantage of her vulnerable state and kidnapped her."

As Melody picked a bone with almost everyone at work and home, there was a long list of her rivals for the police. It was going to be a long investigation before a conclusion.

First Leo and now Melody, these back-to-back blows hindered my day, I felt exhausted at work. My mind repeatedly drifted towards them as if trying to connect these points to form a clear picture in my head. But it was all for nothing, I couldn't find a single similarity apart from the time of their disappearance.

Anyhow, Henry, Bright and I gathered at lunch to discuss this matter.

"It was so difficult to pacify Zoe, brother. He was asking about Leo."

As a child, Zoe's sixth sense worked magically, alarming him about the disaster. I could only use another promise to delay the family meeting.

Bright pressed my hand and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, Laura. Leo is a sensible man. He will come back soon."

"Yeah!"

Henry was irritated by his simple words and fleered at him.

"The great Bright had said that our problems will be solved, then considered them solved, Laura.

He is God's voice!"

"Brother!"

I couldn't help but protest for my brother's growing hostility towards Bright, his behavior was a repeat telecast of my entire relationship with Leo. Henry hated his very presence from day one.

But now, he started off with warning Bright about treating me well from going against his every word. I was pondering over addressing this matter seriously when his sharp swear slithered in my ears.

"Fuck!

The former ice hockey star is no different from a bloody ant himself."

She didn't appear on the screen, but a glass of water was splashed on Leo, my chest ached to see him struggling for a drop of water. The short yet horrifying video was nothing but a nuclear explosion in my world, I firmly grabbed Bright's hand for support.

This is…? Leo…?

How…?"

My tongue tripped, stumbling over words as several thoughts in my mind clamored for attention. Henry was also appalled by Melody's daring; he trusted her as a sick person.

The only sane person among us was Bright, he keenly watched that video and commented.

"Dark complexion, red eyes, eye bags, skeletal body, and pain without any physical injury.

These are clear signs of drug abuse, Laura!"
