On his way home, Lucian suddenly remembered something.
He reached into the car's glove compartment, where he had kept his phone, since his hands were too dirty to touch it.
He took out his phone and called Stella.
The ringing began.
Once, twice, then—
The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off.
"Again," He grumbled in frustration.
He had been trying to call her for weeks, but to no avail.
Every time, her mobile was unreachable.
He frowned and dialed another number—Julia.
The call rang… and went unanswered.
"What the hell is going on with them?" His eyes narrowed.
He had been trying to get in contact with them for weeks, but hadn't been able to reach either of them.
He had even tried texting her, but she hadn't even read the messages.
Something had happened. And whatever it was, she wasn't telling him.
As for Julia? She didn't have any social media for him to message.
No presence online at all.
In this generation, that was almost unbelievable.
