"The person you are calling can not accept calls at this time."

A few days later, I returned to Russia with my phone in my ear, making calls to Rose ever since my arrival, but she did not respond.

I was driving from the airport with one hand on the steering wheel and the other was holding onto the phone which was pressed against my ear.

"The person you are calling can not accept calls at this time."

I attempted calling her again, but she did not pick up the phone, even as I reached the mansion gates while they opened for me, she did not pick up my calls.

I drove up the driveway, where a line of all the staff who worked for me was standing in a line by the entrance.

"The person you are calling can not accept calls at this time."

No matter how much I called her, I could not reach her, it seemed that her phone was turned off, and they always went to voicemails.

"The person you are calling can not accept calls at this time."

I called her one last time as I parked the car near the entrance, where the line of staff were standing and waiting for me, like they did each time the head of the household returned.

I hoped that Rose was standing among them, waiting for me back at home, but she was not, I could not catch sight of her.

I put my burning phone in the pocket since the device had grown warm after all the attempts on calling her.

I stepped out of the car and handed the car keys to one of the butlers as I greeted the staff who were waiting for me.

I walked up the staircase, heading directly to the master bedroom because I wanted to do nothing else but to see her again.

The moment I took a step inside the bedroom, I knew that she was not in there because each time she was in the room, she always lit up the fireplace or the sound of music could be heard as she would be playing music in the bedroom.

One thing I noticed was how empty everything seemed without her, the bedcovers were neatly tucked in, there was no significant scent of her in the room, and her clothes in the closet had not been touched for a while.

I walked over to the walk-in closet, as they had not been touched for awhile, even all the dresses I brought her had not been touched.

My gaze drifted on the floor because of a shattered phone. The phone had not been cleaned up for an odd reason, because the maids had been ordered to clean up any mess even if I was gone.

But the phone on the floor looked familiar, until it hit me because I recognized the phone since I had bought it for Rose.

Her phone was shattered on the floor, specifically the phone's glass was cracked as a few pieces of the glass had been shattered into the floor, and not cleaned up yet.

I stepped further into the walk-in closet and knelt by the cracked phone on the floor as there was even dust on the floor, when I clearly recall that I had ordered the staff to clean a few times a week at most after I left.

Something felt extremely off ever since I entered the mansion.

I picked up my phone and dialed Ivan's number as I ordered him to come here because we needed to have a serious chat since Ivan was the one who was supposed to oversee things when I was gone.

A few moments later, Ivan got here faster than I expected.

"What is it, boss?"

"When did Rose leave?" I asked him as I stood up from the floor once I picked up Rose's broken phone.
