What hurt him the most at that time was that she was not there. No one knew where she went, even her father. He looked for her all over the city. She didn't go to any of her friends. None of her father's friends heard of her.
She just disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Searching for her was his passion those days. He knew she was smart. That was the first time she proved to everyone how smart she can be by eluding the search party conducted by Don. Even her father was surprised as he couldn't catch her. Granted, he was trying to keep it under wraps as he didn't want to put unnecessary danger on her; he had enemies who wanted to eradicate his bloodline.
Don stopped being mad at her. Her mother was worried but Don assured her that his daughter wouldn't have fallen prey to danger so lightly. If something had happened to her, it would have been broadcast in the evening news for all to know, he said.
