My Mute Bride

Rachel slowly closed her eyes. She didn’t care about being his wife or if the baby would be a b*stard. Ever since she got her memories back, she knew the both of them could never be together again.

It had been a month since Janice and her subordinates started the search in all the riverside neighborhoods. “Still nothing?” Julian asked as he handed her a bottle of water.

The wind was blowing against Janice’s hair. She took a sip and shook her head. “We searched all the riverside neighborhoods. One by one as well. No clue until now.”

“Maybe she’s locked in a mountain somewhere?”

“No. It’s mostly manors there. The Bureau of Real Estate has records of the manors’ owners.”

Bureau of Real Estate? All of a sudden, Julian had a stroke of inspiration. “I think we’ve been looking at this the wrong way. Even if Justin locked Rachel up, he wouldn’t put her in a place unrelated to him.”

“What are you getting at?”

“She’s either in a hotel or a personal estate he owns.”

Janice gripped the water bottle and she realized what Julian was getting at. “Hotels are out. There are too many people there.”

Which meant there were only estates left.

With how cautious Justin was, he would never take Rachel out of Riverdale, so she must be in one of the estates in the city.

Julian frowned. “But what’s up with ‘river’? What’s she trying to say?”

“Probably the neighborhood’s name.” Janice then made a call. “Hello? It’s me. I want all the details of Justin Burton’s estates in Riverdale ASAP.”

Janice received an email not long after she hung up. “He has a lot of properties in Riverdale.”
