"There's nothing there Liam, not a single drop of blood" Jeff says on the phone

"There's nothing there Liam, not a single drop of blood" Jeff says on the phone.

"What do you mean there's nothing? Stella saw it! She was terrified!" I try to keep my voice as low as possible before all the people in the room. Jeff sighs "My men sent me the videos and pictures, there's LITERALLY nothing!" He says

I rub my palm over my face, unable to understand what is happening. "Okay, I have reached your apartment, I will see myself and inform again" Jeff says and hangs up

I sigh, keeping my phone inside, I lift my head to see Stella sitting on the couch in the middle of Jasmine and Mia as they both comfort her. She stopped cry but her face is emotionless, and that's more scary.

Last night I had to go and meet Jeff to discuss this whole situation again. I didn't want to meet him but the incident made me. When I came back. I saw Stella running out of our apartment, crying and yelling that they killed buddy.

I wanted to see for myself but she was not in the state to stay at  that place anymore so I brought her home. Aunt Lia and Mom are out because of their work so I didn't say anything to them. Both Jasmine and Mia skipped their university and school as they got to know what happened.

It's 9am right now and nothing good has happened since the last sunrise

I stand there looking over Stella not understanding what to say to her. Jeff's men were already around the apartment building guarding it until I was out. They didn't see anyone coming in or out

Just like it happened at the dorm

The most unsettling part is what Stella described, buddy's body laying in the living room covered in blood. But when his men went to see it there was nothing

Same as the vandalization at her dorm

Everything disappeared

It took his men 5 minutes to reach the apartment when I took Stella to my home. How is it possible that they cleared everything in just minutes?

Moreover, buddy was still at the vet. I never brought him home as his discharge was supposed to happen today, not yesterday. I tried to tell her but she was so devastated that she didn't understand. That's why I sent Lucas to bring buddy back

"Woof!"

A bark grabs our attention, the three of them look up and I turn around to see Lucas standing at the door holding buddy's leash. He bends down and unleashed buddy as he quickly pounces towards us. I move out of the way so he goes straight to Stella first

Stella's eyes widen, she gets down from the couch and kneels on the carpet as buddy hopes on her and starts licking her face. A few years slip down her eyes as she hugs him and starts petting him. The tears of joy

She smiles

She smiles after hours of crying

I sigh in relief, Jasmine and Mia look at the sight in complete shock. Mia's expression relaxes as she sees Stella and buddy interacting. He wiggles his tail like always while Stella showers him with affection.
