In the wee hours, Jace was woken up by the thunderstorm outside.
He left his bed to close the windows, and the rain splashed on his face as he did. The world outside
was pitch dark.
Sage should have arrived in Yathein by now, not sure if the flight was affected by the weather He
frowned slightly, soon realized that the time zone and weather in both countries were very much
different, and smiled at his silliness.
He went back to lay on his bed, however for some reason, he could not fall asleep. He felt as though
something was blocking his chest.
He closed his eyes but could not fall asleep no matter what.
He turned on his phone, and wanted to browse some news. Soon, he saw a news on a plane went
missing while flying from Salem City to Birmingham, he stood up immediately!
Salem City to Birmingham, flight number Y1106, wasn’t that the plane that Sage was on?
His heart twitched.
His phone suddenly vibrated, it was Zayne. Jace picked up the call with his cold and sweaty hand. His
throat was dry, “Hello?”
“Mister Jace, Miss Sage’s flight went missing…”
Jace’s eyes were réd, his blood was frozen in his vessels. Flight number Y1106 was not contactable,
and every media company was covering the news on the missing flight. The local authorities and
Yathein authorities were all desperately trying to locate the plane.
More than 10 cabin crews, 300 passengers were involved. The affected families panicked and all
flocked to the airport for an explanation. The airport got so congested from the crowd. Jace arrived at
the airport too, after braving through the merciless storms. He wanted to buy the earliest ticket to
Yathein, but because of this incident, all flights to Yathein were suspended.
He could only get his private jet to Salem City, as soon as possible. Zayne tried to stop him, “No way,
Mister. You had just gone through the cranial surgery, it has not even been three months yet since the
surgery. You could not take any flights now, it is dangerous for you!”
Jace was adamant. He only knew that he had to go to Sage, immediately. The closest he is to her, the
better! He must find her!
Zayne had no choice but to try to get information about the flight, at the same time getting the private
jet crews to delay as much as possible on their end.
In the waiting lounge, Jace was sitting in one corner, not sure if it was because of the rain, he was
shivering, and his face pale.
The airport was so noisy like a wet market, the families were crying, shouting, pleading. Some were
hysterically asking the airlines to bring their family members back, some were weeping while asking for
compensation…
Even the police had to come by to control the situation.
Jace’s eyes were red, he wanted to join them too, if doing so could bring back his Sage, he would
definitely go forward to shout and cry and make a scene.
What exactly happened? Why did the plane go missing? Hadn’t Jekyll already been caught? Who was
behind this? Who was so ruthless to sacrifice another 300 lives on the plane just to kill Sage? All kinds
of theories crossed Jace’s mind. He was feeling suffocated and hopeless. He could not wait any longer,
and he had no patience for it! “Where is the private jet? What time is it arriving?” He interrogated
Zayne, and threatened him, “If it is not here within an hour, you might as well pack your bags and fuck
off already!” Zayne fell silent. Sweat rolled down his forehead, and he was secretly praying deep down,
Dear Lord, please have mercy, please make sure Miss Sage is safe and sound! I could not afford to be
pranked with such a big joke!
