"Young Madam…" he stammered, his voice trembling, filled with fear and disbelief. "You are here…"He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Why was she here? What had she gotten herself into?
These people were dangerous. Kia didn't need anyone to tell him that—it was obvious in the way they moved, the way they spoke, and the way one of their own had been killed without a second thought.
Earlier that day, he had gone to check on the Young Madam, just like he always did. But when he reached her room, the door was closed—yet when he pushed it open, the room was completely empty. There was no sign of her or Dain anywhere. Not even a trace.
Panic had begun to rise in his chest. He tried to stay calm, thinking maybe they had just stepped out. He went around the hotel searching for them, hoping to see them in the lobby, the restaurant, or anywhere else—but still nothing. Juliana joined him in the search, and together they checked every hallway, every open room they could access.
