Late in the morning, the sun's rays pierced through the curtains, but Izabelle, who was struggling to fall back asleep, kept her eyes closed. She had not gotten enough sleep the previous night and felt groggy. Eventually, she opened her eyes slowly and checked if Raymond was in bed, but he wasn't, not because he had woken up already, but because he didn't come home.
She waited till 2 am. for him to come home, but he didn't. Apparently, he got mad at her because she said he is weird.
Izabelle felt miserable, lonely, disappointed, and sad, the moment she realized Raymond didn't come home. It was as if his absence created a void in her life. She felt so down to the extent of tearing up.
For minutes, she was still pondering on where he could be at the moment.
She heard knocks on the door. It was obviously the maids. They had been knocking for some minutes, but Izabelle didn't open the door.
