Adele:
It’s been three days.
Three whole days, and still, no sign of my mother.
Cole keeps assuring me that the warriors are out there searching, turning every stone upside down to find her. But nothing. Not a trace.
Not even a message from the kidnapper. No threats. No demands. Just silence.
And as for my pregnancy…
I haven’t breathed a word to anyone.
I begged the doctor to keep it quiet, and thankfully, he agreed. But the weight of that secret has been pressing harder on my chest every hour that passes.
I know I can’t hide it forever. Sooner or later, the truth will come out.
But what am I even supposed to say when it does?
“Surprise, I’m pregnant. And no, I don’t know who the father is.”
The thought alone made my stomach twist.
“Adele! I brought you something to drink!”
Ma
