<i>Xander tried to call Arabe several times but her call wasn’t going through. </i>


    <i>He dialed Xavier’s number. Although he was hesitating about calling thetter, he needed to find Arabe. He was several miles away from her, and Xavier was the closest to her. </i>


    <i>All he needed to do was call Xavier. </i>


    <i>Keeping his frustration aside, Xander called his brother and exined everything to him, including sharing Arabe’s location. </i>


    <i>By the time he’d already ended the call, he was already in the car. The driver had already retired for the day and Xander had no intention of going to call him. Neither was he nning on telling Bruce where he was heading. There was simply no time for him to do anything except reach where Arabe was before it was toote. </i>


    His mind had already started to wonder what could have happened to her. He tried calling her number once again, but it resulted in the same thing.


    <i>mming his fist hard against the steering wheel, Xander zoomed out of the gate, startling the security guards. He was still underaged and needed a driver’s license to drive freely on the road. </i>


    <i>Quickly, one of the men went to Bruce’s office to inform him of the situation. </i>


    <i>Xavier zoomed past several cars. From the urgencyced in Xander’s voice when he’d called him earlier, he already sensed that the situation wasn’t good. </i>


    <i>Just like Xander, he didn’t have the time to ask for his regr driver. </i>


    <i>When Xavier arrived at the location, he searched around but couldn’t find her anywhere. </i>


    <i>"Be!!" He called her name, but he got no response. </i>


    <i>It was getting close to midnight and there was no one out whom he could show her picture and ask if they’d seen her. </i>


    <i>Xavier decided to venture deeper into the bush, while silently hoping he doesn’t get attacked by some wild animal. </i>


    <i>Without knowing, his feet kicked an object and he lost his bnce and fell. He quickly got up and searched for his shlight. However, the next he saw sent chills down his spine. </i>


    <i>Xander arrived at the location with the car looking scratched. It turned out he got into an ident on his way, but he didn’t stay to get it resolved. </i>


    <i>He called Xavier, but thetter didn’t pick up. </i>


    <i>He cursed under his breath, now wondering what could have happened to Xavier. Arabe still wasn’t picking up her phone. </i>


    <i>"Where could she be?" He wondered, ncing around. </i>


    <i>Just like Xavier, he decided to venture into the forest. </i>


    <i>However, just when he stepped his foot inside, he saw a light shining from a distance. Without thinking, he quickly followed it. </i>


    <i>As soon as Xander reached the light and saw the person lying down on the ground, he stiffened. </i>


    <i>It was as if all the active nerves in his body had refused to cooperate with him so he could react. He was as stiff as a statue as he continued to gaze upon the lifeless Arabe. </i>


    <i>Then his eyes shifted to Xavier who was just as shocked as him. </i>


    <i>"What did you do?" He questioned Xavier, finally able to move his hands and the first he did was to grab Xavier by the cor of his shirt. "What did you fucking do to her?" He spat. </i>


    <i>Xavier stared at Xander with an even more shocked expression, trying to understand what thetter was saying. </i>


    <i>"W-what a-are are you talking about?" Xavier stuttered. </i>


    <i>Xander bit his tongue as he tried to suppress the anger surging through his body. </i>


    <i>Xander pushed Xavier away and squatted on the ground, tears threatening to fall from his eyes as he stared at Arabe. </i>


    <i>Her eyes were still wide open, staring up at the sky but they were empty. Her shirt was stained with her blood, with some of it still dripping from her lips. </i>


    <i>Xander’s gaze ventured down to her stomach, where she’d been mercilessly stabbed. He could see some of her intestines popping out from her belly, and the tears he’d been trying to hold back streamed down his cheeks. </i>


    <i>She wasn’t blinking anymore and he knew she was already gone. However, he didn’t want to ept that yet. </i>


    <i>He shut his eyes as he gulped down his saliva in regret. "I’m taking her to the hospital," he said. </i>


    <i>Just when he was about to pick her up, he noticed something glimmering where her hair was sprawled. He picked up the object, studying it before his gazended on Xavier with bloodshot eyes. </i>


    <i>"This is your ring, isn’t it?" He questioned. </i>
