The line rang once. Twice. Three times.
Each ring tightened the grip on his chest.
He imagined Sero’s voice answering—casual, cheeky,
“Hey, Old Man—”
But then:
“The person you are trying to reach cannot answer the phone right now. Please leave your name and message after the beep.”
Shiu’s brow furrowed. Irritation and fear, mixing.
He dialed again. And again. And again.
Then—
a click.
The line went silent.
Shiu didn’t wait.
“Why weren’t you answering, you little shit?! Where are you!? Do you know what time it is, idiot!?”
Silence.
Half a beat too long.
Then a voice. Low. Dangerous.
“You want to know where your precious husband is?”
Shiu froze.
That wasn’t Sero.
