" Larissa completely panicked . " You can't do this to me ! I love you so much ... " But the only answer she got was the cold click of the front door opening . Two men in black grabbed her and dragged her out . Her screams faded into the night . Jeff stood frozen , staring at the bowl knocked over on the floor , before slowly crouching down . The scent of the stew hung in the air ... Yet he couldn't reach for it , just as he could no longer reach the one who would never return . +25 BONUS When the plane finally touched down on a foreign runway , I stared out the window at the unfamiliar landscape , feeling as if I had stepped into another world .

When the camera zoomed in on me signing the documents , the custom wedding ring he had given me was nowhere to be seen . " Book the next flight to Ashbourne immediately . " He grabbed his jacket , knocking over a coffee cup . Dark liquid spread across the Q3 loss report , leaving a glaring stain . " No , schedule a flight . I'm going on my private jet .
