\n**Chapter 134: Missing for Two Days**<\/p>\n
Curtis had kept the details shrouded in mystery, only hinting that there was a deep connection between his mother and Nicole\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded slowly, her mind racing to piece together the fragments of information. It was clear that Curtis was reluctant to divulge the full story, and she respected his silence, choosing not to pry any further. After all, the notion of honoring a marriage promise solely based on his mother\u2019s dying wish felt like a heavy burden, perhaps even an unreasonable one.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Curtis had made it a priority to clear his schedule, dedicating himself entirely to Adriana\u2019s side. He was determined to be her rock during this tumultuous time.<\/p>\n
Across town, Nicole was engulfed in a rising tide of anxiety. The thought of Adriana undergoing a check-up and discovering her pregnancy sent her spiraling into panic. She frantically brainstormed possible solutions to eliminate the baby, but each idea seemed to slip through her fingers like sand, never materializing into a concrete plan.<\/p>\n
Curtis, unwavering in his commitment, never left Adriana\u2019s side, not even for a fleeting moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s odd. Belinda hasn\u2019t replied to any of my messages for the past few days,\u201d Adriana remarked, her brow furrowing as she stared at her WhatsApp screen, confusion evident in her voice.<\/p>\n
Had she offended Belinda in some way? Aside from that one instance where shopping had pulled Belinda away, she couldn\u2019t recall doing anything to warrant this silence.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe can be a bit childish, you know? She tends to sulk over the smallest things. Don\u2019t take it to heart,\u201d Curtis reassured her as he placed a plate of fresh, sliced fruit on the table and settled beside her.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I really need to call her,\u201d Adriana insisted, a knot of unease tightening in her stomach. She tapped on Belinda\u2019s name and hit dial.<\/p>\n
But the call was immediately rejected.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe\u2026 you should give it a try?\u201d Adriana suggested, her eyes pleading with Curtis.<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded, pulling out his own phone and dialing Belinda\u2019s number. Unfortunately, that call was met with the same rejection.<\/p>\n
Panic began to bubble within Adriana. \u201cSomething isn\u2019t right\u2026 What if something happened to her? Should we go check on her at school?\u201d<\/p>\n
She recalled whispers about Belinda possibly dating someone, and her concern deepened.<\/p>\n
Dating in college wasn\u2019t inherently problematic, but Belinda was still so na\u00efve, easily misled by her emotions.<\/p>\n
Curtis agreed, rising to his feet. \u201cLet\u2019s go check on her.\u201d<\/p>\n
When they arrived at the school and approached one of Belinda\u2019s professors, they were met with troubling news: Belinda had taken two days off and hadn\u2019t been on campus at all.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s anxiety escalated. \u201cCurtis, what do we do\u2026? What if something has happened to her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis placed a calming hand on her shoulder. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll have someone find her right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
He instructed Adriana to wait in the car while he stepped outside to make some urgent calls.<\/p>\n
About thirty minutes later, Curtis returned, his expression grave as he slid into the driver\u2019s seat. \u201cBelinda found out that her mom isn\u2019t dead. She ran away from home in anger. She\u2019s at a hotel,\u201d he stated, his tone flat and devoid of emotion.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s eyes widened in disbelief. \u201cBelinda knows Cynthia is alive? You guys hiding the truth from her\u2026 that\u2019s not good. Finding out like that must\u2019ve shattered her,\u201d she murmured, her mind racing with implications.<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded silently, his focus now on the road as he drove toward the hotel where Belinda was staying.<\/p>\n
As they traveled, Adriana\u2019s nerves twisted and turned. If Belinda was aware that Cynthia had survived, it could only mean one thing: Cynthia had sought her out.<\/p>\n
Which also implied that Cynthia had regained enough strength to walk, talk, and navigate her life once more\u2026<\/p>\n
And if that were the case, where did Curtis plan to place Cynthia now?<\/p>\n
Just then, as if the universe was toying with her fears, Curtis\u2019s phone rang. It was Cynthia. \u201cCurtis, the rehab center says I\u2019m ready for discharge,\u201d she said, her voice calm and collected.<\/p>\n
\u201cPick me up with Belinda, okay?\u201d The order rolled off her tongue as if it were the most casual request in the world. She sounded so confident, so unconcerned. Only someone who had betrayed love could exhibit such entitlement.<\/p>\n
Adriana sat in the passenger seat, her head bowed, grappling with uncertainty about where Curtis intended to take Cynthia.<\/p>\n
Surely\u2026 they weren\u2019t going to cohabitate again, were they?<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Curtis replied without a moment\u2019s hesitation.<\/p>\n
Adriana stole a glance at him, searching for some sign of hesitation, some explanation for his compliance. But there was none. He offered no reassurances, no denials\u2014nothing.<\/p>\n
Turning her gaze toward the window, she thought, Maybe I\u2019m just fooling myself again\u2026<\/p>\n
Humans truly were greedy beings. Just because Curtis had shown her kindness for a few fleeting days, she began to entertain the notion that it meant something deeper, that she deserved it somehow.<\/p>\n
As if she were truly his wife.<\/p>\n
But to Cynthia, that title must feel like a cruel joke.<\/p>\n
The car pulled up in front of the hotel, and the valet took over to park it.<\/p>\n
Adriana followed closely behind Curtis as they ascended the stairs to find Belinda.<\/p>\n
Yet, despite their efforts, Belinda still wasn\u2019t answering her phone, and a gnawing worry began to take root in Adriana\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
At that age, girls could make impulsive decisions when consumed by emotions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda, open the door,\u201d Curtis called out, knocking firmly. When silence met his call, a frown creased his brow.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda!\u201d he called again, frustration edging into his voice.<\/p>\n
Adriana felt a surge of compassion. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you head downstairs and wait? Let me try talking to her alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded, stepping back reluctantly.<\/p>\n
Adriana knocked once more. \u201cBelinda, it\u2019s me. Curtis is gone. It\u2019s just us now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis cast a glance back at her before turning to walk away.<\/p>\n
Inside the room, silence reigned.<\/p>\n
\u201cBelinda, aren\u2019t we friends?\u201d Adriana called softly through the door, her voice laced with concern.<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity, the door cracked open just a sliver. Belinda peeked out cautiously, her eyes darting around to ensure Curtis was truly gone before she opened the door wider, allowing Adriana to step inside.<\/p>\n
The atmosphere was heavy; the curtains were drawn, and the room was dim and stifling.<\/p>\n
Beer bottles littered the table, a clear indication of a night spent drowning sorrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho taught you to drink like this? Your eyes are so puffy, they look like walnuts,\u201d Adriana sighed, sinking into the nearby couch.<\/p>\n
Belinda flopped down on the other end of the couch, her face pressed into the cushions, offering no response.<\/p>\n
As Adriana sat on the couch, the weight of the moment pressed down on her like a suffocating blanket. She could feel the depth of Belinda\u2019s despair radiating from the other end, a stark reminder of the fragility of youth and the tumultuous emotions that often accompany it. The sight of her friend, so lost and broken, mirrored the turmoil that had been swirling within Adriana since Curtis\u2019s mother had passed. She realized that while time had tried to heal her wounds, she had stubbornly clung to her pain, fearing that letting go would mean losing the connection to her past. In this moment, however, she understood that healing was not a solitary journey; it required vulnerability, honesty, and the courage to confront the shadows that lurked in the corners of their lives.<\/p>\n
With a newfound determination, Adriana leaned forward, her voice steady and reassuring. She knew that she had to be the anchor for Belinda, just as Curtis had been for her. The bond they shared, forged through shared experiences and unspoken understanding, had the power to transcend their individual struggles. As she reached out to comfort Belinda, Adriana felt a flicker of hope ignite within her. Perhaps together, they could navigate the storm that life had thrown their way. In that moment, she resolved not to shy away from the challenges ahead but to embrace them, knowing that true healing often comes from facing the truth, both for herself and for those she loved.<\/p>\n
