Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 78: Sign The Agreement On Three Conditions 

The next morning.

Rachel woke up exhausted, to her chagrin.

Not only had she fallen asleep at midnight, but she had also contended with many strange dreams, all of which made her sweat profusely throughout the night.

It took a few moments for her eyes to focus, and the ceiling came into view.

She sat up and looked out the window as the blazing-yellow sun rose slowly into the sky.She was lost in thought as sunlight covered every inch of the room.

Suddenly, her smartphone vibrated, jolting her from her reverie.

She looked down at the phone and saw a red dialog box that had just popped up on the screen.

It was filled with code that meant one thing: the search had failed, yet again.

Her eyes darkened as she closed the dialog box and clenched her fists in frustration.

She could no longer keep count of how many times she had seen the dreaded red pop-up of failure.

"Search Failed" were the two words that had been engraved in her mind, and it seemed she would be unable to forget it even in death.

Abby's whereabouts still eluded her.

Victor said he had sent Abby packing from the Bennet family's house but didn't take her away.

If that was the case, why couldn't she find her whereabouts? It was as though she had vanished into thin air.

Rachel had even hacked Apliaria's traffic monitoring system and sifted through all surveillance videos of every place within ten leagues of the Bennet family's house, the Sullivan Group's building, and the hospital.

However, the videos didn't turn up any trace of Abby's whereabouts—like smoke, she had completed vanished.

Frustrated, Shelia logged out of the monitoring system and checked the time at the top of the screen.

It was seven o'clock, and there wasn't much time left.

Rays of sunlight shone in through the glass door, illuminating the edge of the bed.

The warm, gold light soon covered the bed entirely, like a scene from renowned drama flicks.

As she basked in the sunlight, her eyes glimmered for a moment.She had made up her mind.

With a hint of determination in her eyes, she got from the bed a while later, took a shower and changed her clothes.

Then, she left the bedroom and went downstairs to the dining room.

As she walked into the room, she ran into Victor.
