After what felt like an eternity of self-loathing in the kitchen, Richard finally joined the search. While the rest scoured outside the building and down the street, he scouted the back of Kofi's enormous house.
Layla, on the other hand, had taken the lead on her own. She thought she had everything figured out, until she read through that awful letter she initially dismissed as nothing. Her scream pierced the air, echoing through the house.
It was natural for Layla to have ignored the letter the first time she saw it. She had mistaken it for the one Richard had received earlier.
Layla's heart pounded as she sprinted toward Kofi and Henry, clutching the letter tightly in her hand. Tears blurred her vision, threatening to spill over at any moment. Her voice caught in her throat, choked by the overwhelming emotions she was desperately trying to suppress.
"This can't be true," Layla cried, her voice barely a whisper, "how is this even possible?"
Kofi and Henry exchanged perplexed glances, their faces mirroring her distress.
"What's wrong?" Kofi asked, running a hand through his hair. He could sense the gravity of the situation, feeling the weight of Layla's anguish. Gently, he placed a hand on her shoulder, offering what little comfort he could.
Layla handed him the letter, her hands trembling uncontrollably. The world spun around her, and she stumbled backward, falling heavily into Henry's arms. He held her close as she wept, his own heart heavy with concern.
Kofi unfolded the letter, his hands shaking slightly as he read the first sentence aloud. The words hung in the air, thick with tension, as Layla's sobs filled the silence.
"I can't believe it," Kofi murmured, his voice barely audible. He couldn't bring himself to read the rest out loud, the truth too painful to confront in the open.
The room felt suffocating, each breath strained with uncertainty. Layla's world had been turned upside down, and Kofi and Henry could only watch helplessly as she grappled with the devastating revelation.
The night air was thick with tension as Kofi's frustration boiled over, kicking his leg into the air in frustration. "She left," he growled, his voice laced with disappointment. "She left me hanging again."
Layla's voice cut through the air like a whip. "Serwaa could be out there in danger, and you're making this about yourself? Are you serious right now?" She pulled away from Henry, storming out of the gate, only to quickly return inside.
Henry's shoulders slumped as he realized the weight of Serwaa's absence. "She's really gone," he muttered, his voice barely audible.
Layla sneered, her anger palpable as she leaned against the gate, her upper lip curling with disdain. "You know what... it's fine," she stated, wiping the tears from her face with a savage determination before striding back into the house.
