Chapter 76

Friend

***Natalia**

Rionna’s face pales when she turns to face me, a young woman standing at her side attempting to comfort her.

Something is very wrong here, Devina whispers. “Where is Kota?” I ask, dread settling in the pit of my stomach. “Where is my baby?”

“T-I,” Rionna stammers, tears clinging to her eyes as she looks around the play center frantically. “I was just reading a magazine…” she whimpers. “And then-”

I follow her gaze, not seeing Kota anywhere in the playcenter.

“Where is my baby?” I repeat, handing my things to Celina and storming through the play center.“ Kota? Kota, ¿dónde estás? Dakota!”
