The next morning Maya vanished.
Her car was discovered near a river outside the city.
Police searched for days.
But no body was found.
Everyone assumed the worst.
Adrian appeared heartbroken during interviews.
He cried publicly.
He told reporters he loved Maya deeply.
People sympathized with him.
They called it a tragic accident.
But one man remained unconvinced.
Detective Leon Carter.
Something about Adrian's grief seemed strange.
Too controlled.
Too perfect.
Almost like…
He had practiced it.
And Leon believed the story of Maya Verma wasn't over yet.
Not even close.
