CHAPTER FORTY-NINE

Astra had been missing for two days and Nicholas was sure that he would go crazy. There had been no hints from the police. Nicholas was regretting not letting Astra become bait for Ray. It would have been much easier to track down Ray. The police had tried to track the vehicles that brought Stephanie and Theo back home but the plate numbers were fake. The only thing that gave him a bit of joy was the fact that both Theo and Stephanie were well. Steph was discharged from the hospital that day, thankfully she did not lose the baby. Nicholas was sure that she would be having conflicting feelings, she was carrying the child of a man that had threatened to kill her and was obsessed with her friend.
