Elissa asked Raphael to go to sleep after a while because he had work the next day.

Softly, she told him, “You should sleep now.

I’ll just sit here for a little bit.”

Raphael refused to leave her alone, leaning against the headboard and holding her in his arms.

He gently patted her back, making her feel calmer by the second.

This time, she slept soundly through the rest of the night.

When morning came, Elissa woke up to an empty bed.

Raphael was not beside her.

She heard muffled voices coming from the living room, mentioning something about a deceased person and a third party, though she couldn’t make out the details.

Elissa quickly threw on some clothes and went out.

In the living room, several men in with badges stood conversing with Raphael.

When they noticed Elissa, one of them asked, “Is this their daughter?”
