Mated To My Stepbrother-Chapter 63

Mary pov

As I sat in my sitting room going through my photos with Aria, I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to her. Today would be the third day since I had heard or seen her.

No matter how angry she was with me, she would not do something like this and would definitely call or even text me, but none of them got back to me.

I felt like they were both slowly removing me from their group of friends. I feared that she might not like me as a friend anymore. The chair slowly dropped down my cheeks as I cleaned it immediately.

I went on the Internet almost quickly as I searched it back and forth, checking for any sign of Aria or even a post from her, but there was nothing, and I felt frustrated. How or could it be that she had blocked me from everything possible?

The only thing I heard about was Maya and her friends were bullying her, but after that, I did not hear anything anymore; I just heard people gossiping and some people dancing at me as they made a mockery of me, but I still had no idea of what was going on.

"Mary, Stop imagining things. It is not your fault that they don’t want to be friends with you anymore." I said to myself as I dropped my phone beside me, staring at the ceiling.

This was just too frustrating. It was three days, and I hadn’t seen a word from her; had she said anything? I thought to myself, and after a few minutes of contemplating that decision, I finally agreed to Beg her if I had wronged her in any way. I quickly ran to the shower and took a quick few minutes shower before running out and taking my phone with me.

I entered a taxi taking me directly to Aria’s house, but when I got there, no one answered me. I continued to ring the bell, calling out Aria’s name with all my strength, but still, she did not answer.

Just then, the neighbor from the other building came outside and shook her head pitifully at me. I felt too scared have they moved out.

"They are not at home Mary." The woman said to me.

Aria would never keep such a secret from me; She knew I was her only best friend.

I walked towards the woman in curiosity.

"Excuse me, do you happen to know where Aria and her brother could be?" I asked the woman with a gentle tone. She smiled and explained that they had not been home for a few days.

Apparently, Aria had a bad accident and was taken to the hospital by Timothy,

" Because I didn’t have Timothy’s or Aria’s contact information, I couldn’t check on her while waiting for her return". The woman stated that she thought Aria had returned home but wasn’t sure if her brother was with her. Feeling scared, I thanked the woman and walked away in frustration. I tried calling Aria but received no response, so I sent her a message instead.

I walked down and continued to call Aria’s number, but there was no response. I couldn’t help but feel frustrated. I shouldn’t have neglected her and concentrated more on my studies, and here is the final result: She went out in search of Jaxon without me, and this happened to her.

How am I going to find her so easily? Even if I began to call one after the other, asking for Aria, I would never be able to find her in such a close call.

I was so worried that I did not even know where I got to the bus stop and was already walking past it until I realized it and turned back to the bus stop to wait for the next bus.

I did not even know whether I was going back home going back to school, or going to the hospital by the hospital to find her. I was just too worried and prayed that she would reply to my message.

I stared at the screen on my phone for some minutes, hoping she would reply, but nothing came in.

"Aria, where are you?" I muttered as I stared up to the sky, hoping she could miraculously hear me, even though I knew nothing like that could happen.

It was the fourth day, and I had been trying to reach Aria incessantly. Unfortunately, she wasn’t answering my calls, and I was getting frustrated.

I couldn’t believe that Timothy, who was so taken with her, wasn’t even messaging me to check up on her. After all, we were supposed to be there for each other when things got tough. I was feeling hurt and neglected.

While feeling sorry for myself, I walked into the living room to find my mom watching her favorite series. I approached her with tears in my eyes and explained that I was worried about Aria.

She had been missing since the accident, and I didn’t know which hospital she had been taken to. Furthermore, Jaxon had been missing for a few days before her disappearance, and I didn’t know who else to turn to. I had tried calling her parents and messaging her multiple times, but there had been no response.

My mom listened carefully and offered her support. I felt better knowing that I had someone to confide in. After all, Aria was my only friend.

I know something is wrong with Aria, and she might think I neglected her and did not remember her or was angry with her. But I was going to prove her wrong by finding her wherever she was.

"Don’t worry, Mary. We’ll find Aria and everything will be okay. Don’t overthink it. Aria is your friend and she wouldn’t be angry with you for not finding her right away," my mother reassured me. I hoped she was right and that Aria was safe wherever she was.
