Chapter 10 Seeing that flicker , Estelle doubled down . Her hand caressed his chest , her touch brazen and heated as she leaned forward , lips brushing his ear . Her other hand reached downward- Suddenly , Callum catch her wrist . His jaw clenched , eyes frosted with irritation . " Who told you that stands for you ? " Estelle froze . "That tattoo , " he said coldly , " is for Evelyn . Not about you . " He shoved her aside , standing abruptly . Estelle tumbled to the floor , silk gown pooling around her as she scrambled to grab his pant leg . " Callum , please don't go ! I'm not well . If you leave me now , I'll have another breakdown . You wouldn't want to see me hurt myself , would you ? " A flicker of something passed through Callum's eyes - guilt , maybe . But just as quickly , it vanished , replaced by a glare .

With a strange twist in his chest , Callum walked toward her room . He knocked . And knocked . And knocked - until the sound turned violent . A terrible sense of unease rose in his gut . With a yell , he kicked the door open . The room was empty . Chapter 10 No Evelyn . No suitcase . No sign of her at all . He spun around , searching the room like a madman . Gone . The photos , the gifts , the expensive jewelry - everything he'd ever given her , every piece of evidence of their years together - was gone . He rushed into the master bedroom . Even their wedding portrait had been ripped from the wall and smashed into pieces on the floor . Just last night , she'd been right here . How had she disappeared without a trace ?
