When Clayton saw Kallie standing there unharmed, he let out a relieved sigh. "Not long after you left, I heard about the incident. I cas fast as I could. But there was a massive sandstorm, and I couldn't find a guide willing to risk it. Am I too late?" Clayton's eyes were filled with guilt as he looked at Kallie. Kallie fought back tears, her voice thick with emotion. "Can you please ask the guides to helpsearch? Jake and Chloe are missing." Clayton sprang into action the moment he heard her words.
Clayton took Kallie and Calvin to the closest town to keep them safe, just in case another sandstorm hit. They searched tirelessly from sunset to sunrise but found nothing. Not even a single body turned up.
Kallie remembered the terrifying sandstorms she'd read about online. Her legs nearly gave out from under her. She was filled with regret. “If I had known this would happen, I would've stayed with Jake. This is all my fault." Clayton's heart ached for Kallie, seeing her in such agony. "Don't beat yourself up about it. If you'd disappeared with Jake, what would have happened to Calvin? He's just a baby. He can't survive without his parents. Don't worry. I'll expand the search. We'll find them." Kallie looked at Clayton with gratitude. "Thank you. You've really helpedout a lot lately." Clayton shook his head. "Don't mention it. Your distress remindsof my sister. If only someone had helped her back then, things might have turned out differently." Clayton's expression turned somber as he talked about his sister. The mood grew heavy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKallie tried to change the subject by asking Clayton if he could find out who attacked them.
To her surprise, Clayton already had the answer. "It was the Perry family," he said gravely. "I didn't think they'd move so fast. They must've had people lurking on the island for you to leave." "The Perry family, huh?" Kallie's voice dripped with hatred as she clenched her jaw. "I'll destroy them, even if it's the last thing I do!" Before leaving the island, Jake had sent his men to rescue Saniya. It wasn't easy, and Saniya was badly hurt, but at least she was alive. Now, Saniya was back home, getting medical care.
Even if the Perry family knew where Saniya was, they wouldn't dare make a move Not yet anyway. They must Not be panicking, though. That was why they chased them here.
Clayton's men continued the search for another week, but there was still no sign of Jake or Chloe. At At least they hadn't found any bodies. That meant Jake and Chloe were probably still alive. Kallie's hope was dwindling. This tiny town was a far cry from Clayton's luxurious manor, with all its comforts.
