Shortly after Caleb left my quarters, a thief was discovered in the manor What a coincidence.
Could Andrew have intentionally sent Caleb away from my room, then instructed the guards to arrest him?
As the idea crossed my mind, I immediately shook my head, telling myself it was impossible.
Andrew wasnt a villain. Besides, our relationship was only superficial.
Andrew had no grounds to be against Caleb.
I continued reassuring myself that I was overthinking.
Yet, despite my efforts, I couldnt shake the unease of not hearing from Caleb.
Restlessly, I paced the living room. Eventually, I couldnt resist going to the window and calling Caleb secretly.
The phone rang repeatedly, but there was no answer.
I tried calling several times in succession, but each attempt yielded the same outcome.
I was in a complete panic. All I could think about was Caleb. Unable to stay calm any longer, I strode out without considering anything else.

However, this morning, when I saw Debra coming from the kitchen, carrying breakfast meant for two, my underlying anger and jealousy erupted uncontrollably.
I was sure Caleb had spent the night in Debras room, so I purposefully knocked on her door to make him leave. As he left, I instructed the bodyguards to capture him or, if needed, to kill him.
Calebs strength took me by surprise. My bodyguards struggled against him, unable to overpower him despite my commands. Killing him was proving to be more challenging than I had initially thought.
Luckily, I had the home advantage. Caleb was unfamiliar with the manor, while I had my bodyguards ready. The chase was intense, and though Caleb managed to flee the manor, he was injured in the process.
