Luckily, Erick, always diligent despite his busy schedule, made it a routine to call Raegan each night to confirm her safety.
This particular night, as work stretched late, Erick contemplated calling Raegan but hesitated, fearing she might already be asleep.
Choosing instead to send a text, Erick texted Raegan and resumed his tasks.
His focus returned to the upcoming celebration for the babies, mere days ahead.
To either delay Davey or capture him if needed, extensive planning and coordination were necessary at the event venue.
Erick revisited the design plans that he had scrutinized repeatedly, looking for any missed details. By the time he set the plans aside, it was close to midnight. He checked his phone again, yet he received no response from Raegan. Assuming she was sleeping, he went to freshen up.
After his shower, a persistent unease nagged at him. Erick decided to make a call to Raegans villa.
The phone rang repeatedly before someone finally picked up.
Victor and Judd were tasked with escorting Raegans babies to Ardlens, leaving only a few servants and bodyguards concealed in vehicles outside and at the villa.
Hello, who is this? a drowsy servant inquired through the phone.
Ericks brow furrowed, noting the servants deep sleep. Its Erick. Is Raegan asleep?
Typically, Erick only needed to announce his name, as all at the villa recognized him as Raegans brother.
Wiping sleep from her eyes, the servant responded, Im not sure. Miss hasnt been seen much today.

Not seen? Ericks anxiety mounted. With the babies no longer there, Raegan had no reason to remain secluded in her room all day. Check on her right now and report back immediately, he instructed sharply, his tone stern.
Jolted by his urgency, the servant quickly replied, Right away, sir!
As the servant started to hang up, Erick interjected firmly, Dont hang up. Ill wait.
Okay. Setting the phone aside, the servant hastened away to Raegans room.

Minutes later, the servants rapid footsteps returned to the phone.
Ericks anxiety escalated with each passing second.
Catching her breath, the servant reported, Mr. Foster, I knocked on Misss room, but there was no reply.
Ericks concern deepened. Raegans bedroom was typically restricted to keep the babies departure confidential. But normally, she would respond to a knock. The absence of a reply confirmed Raegan was not there. Where had she gone?
As worry overtook him, Erick ended the call and sped toward Raegans villa, driven by a growing sense of alarm.
After Raegans previous fainting spell, she had left a spare key with Erick for emergencies.
Upon unlocking the door, Erick found the room desolate, the perfectly made bed signaling that Raegan had not come back.
