Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Chapter 134 Missing for Two Days จ 1873 Finished Curtis had kept things vague , only mentioning that his mother and Nicole's mother used to be very close . Adriana nodded , half - understanding . Since Curtis clearly didn't want to share the real reason , she didn't push it any further . After all ... keeping a marriage promise just because of his mother's dying wish felt like a bit of a stretch . Curtis cleared his schedule and stayed by Adriana's side the entire time . Meanwhile , Nicole was starting to panic .

She was terrified Adriana would actually go in for a check - up and find out she was pregnant . So , she racked her brain for ways to get rid of the baby , but she never got the chance . Curtis never left Adriana alone . Not even for a second . " That's weird . Belinda hasn't responded to any of my messages the last few days , " Adriana said , staring at her WhatsApp , puzzled . Aside from that one time she ditched her for shopping because Harold dragged her away , she hadn't done anything to upset Belinda , had she ? " She's childish . Gets upset over the smallest things .

Don't take it personally , " Curtis said as he brought over a plate of sliced fruit and sat down beside her . " No , I have to call her . " Adriana was starting to feel uneasy . She tapped Belinda's name and dialed . But Belinda declined the call immediately . " Maybe ... you try ? " Adriana looked at Curtis pleadingly . Curtis nodded , pulled out his phone , and gave her a call , but Belinda declined that one too . Now Adriana was really starting to panic . " Something's not right ... What if something's happened to her ? Should we go check on her at school ?

" She'd heard Belinda might be dating someone . Sure , dating in college wasn't a big deal , but Belinda was still very naïve and easily fooled . 1/4 10:18 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 134 Missing for Two Days 1 : 87 Finished Curtis nodded and stood up to take her . When they got to the school and asked one of Belinda's professors , they were told she'd already taken two days off . She hadn't been on campus at all for two full days . Adriana grew even more anxious . " Curtis , what do we do ... ? What if something happened to her ? " Curtis gently tried to calm her down . " Don't worry .

I'll have someone find her right away ." He told Adriana to wait in the car while he stepped outside to make some calls . About half an hour later , Curtis returned , his expression grim as he got into the driver's seat . " Belinda found out her mom isn't dead , and she ran away from home out of anger . She's at a hotel , " he said flatly . Adriana's eyes widened in shock . Belinda knows Cynthia's alive ? " You guys hiding the truth from her ... yeah , that wasn't great . Finding out like that must've been a huge shock , " she muttered .

Curtis nodded silently and started driving Adriana toward the hotel where Belinda was staying . The whole way there , Adriana's nerves were all over the place . If Belinda knew Cynthia was still alive , it could only mean one thing - Cynthia must've gone to see her . Which also meant Cynthia had recovered enough to walk , talk , and live normally again ... And if that was true ... where was Curtis planning to put Cynthia now ? Right then , as if on cue , Adriana's worst fear came true - Curtis's phone rang . It was Cynthia .

" Curtis , the rehab center says I'm ready for discharge , " she said calmly . " Pick me up with Belinda , okay ? " Just like that , Cynthia gave Curtis an order , as casually as if nothing had happened . So confident . So unbothered . Only someone who had betrayed love could act so entitled . Adriana sat there , her head down , unsure where Curtis was going to take Cynthia . Surely ... they weren't going to live together again , were they ? " Okay , " Curtis replied without hesitation . 914 10:18 Tue , Jan 6 87 Chapter 134 Missing for Two Days Finished Adriana sneaked a glance at him .

He didn't offer any explanation . No denial . Nothing . She quietly turned her gaze to the window . Maybe I'm just fooling myself again ... Humans really were greedy creatures . Just because Curtis had been good to her for a few days , she started thinking it was something more , like she deserved it . Like she was really his wife . But to Cynthia ... that title must feel like a joke . The car pulled up in front of the hotel , and the valet drove it off to park . Adriana followed behind Curtis as they headed upstairs to find Belinda .

Belinda still wasn't answering her phone , and Adriana was starting to worry something might've happened . Girls that age could make impulsive mistakes when they were upset . " Belinda , open the door , " Curtis said , knocking firmly . There was no response . " Belinda ! " he called again , frowning now , his voice edged with frustration . Adriana spoke up softly , " Why don't you head downstairs and wait ? Let me talk to her alone . " Curtis nodded and stepped back . Adriana knocked again . " Belinda , it's me . Curtis is gone . It's just me now .

" Curtis gave Adriana a glance , then turned and walked away . Inside the room , there was still no sound . " Belinda , aren't we friends ? " Adriana called gently through the door . ... There was a long pause then finally , the door cracked open just a sliver . Belinda peeked out cautiously . After making sure Curtis was really gone , she opened the door wider and let Adriana in . The curtains were drawn , the lights were off , and it was dim and stuffy inside . Beer bottles covered the table . Clearly , she'd done some heavy drinking the night before .

" Who taught you how to drink like this ? Your eyes are so puffy , they look like walnuts ," Adriana sighed , sitting down on the nearby couch . 3/4 10:18 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 134 Missing for Two Days Belinda flopped face - first onto the other end of the couch , saying nothing . 67 Finished 118 AdminJ
