Mars, ready to hit the sack, got a call from Andre, "What are you talking about? Who's Mia? You have a wife? Your wife is missing? Mia's missing? God, what happened?"
Andre: "Yes, I'm married. My wife is Mia, and she's missing now."
Mars: "…wait a sec, I might be drunk."
Andre: "Snap out of it in three seconds and help me find her."
Mars rolled off his bed, his ass smarting from the fall on the floor.
He got it. This wasn’t a dream. His buddy actually got married. Not only did he get married, but his wife had also done a runner.
So, three minutes after Andre hung up, his other three mates from abroad dialed him one after another, "Andre, I heard from Mars your wife's done a runner?"
Andre endured their questions.
"How did you end up in this mess, mate? You're not exactly lacking in charm, how did your wife escape right after you got married?"
Taking a deep breath, Andre said, "If it weren't for needing Mars' help right now, I would have shut him up."
"You're pissed." Conner from abroad confirmed his friend's wife was gone, "Andre, I'm heading over to Eldoria to be with you."
As friends, they needed to be there for him through these dark times.
Conner was coming, so were the other two, Asher and Teddy. On the surface, they said they were coming to be there for their friend through a tough time. In reality, they wanted to see what Andre's wife looked like, and what kind of woman had the guts to betray Andre.
The Cedillo family searched for Mia all night, and even Hansen knew that. Sitting on the sofa, his hands clenched tightly.
"I went to a friend's house yesterday. I realized I forgot my phone when I got there, so I didn't tell the family."
"You forgot?." Hansen roared.
Mia clammed up, afraid to speak.
Hansen was initially furious, even contemplated having Mia and Andre divorce. But seeing her obediently standing there waiting to be scolded, he remembered the butler's reminder that the cause of all this was his insistence on her marrying Andre.
"Mia, do you know you were wrong?" Hansen glared fiercely at Mia.
Naomi had been silent the entire time, knowing Hansen was angry, she didn't dare provoke him. But she wanted to know if Mia would apologize for her actions yesterday.
