Dialing the number, Noelle bit her nails in anxiety.
"This is the Guerra residence," a voice answered on the second ring.
"Hello, I am looking for Rafaelo Guerra. I am a classmate from university," she said glibly.
"I'm so sorry. He isn't here."
Noelle's face fell.
"Is he still on his honeymoon?" She bluffed.
"Honeymoon? No, no. You didn't hear? He didn't get married."
"He…didn't?" Noelle repeated, her entire body relaxing for the first time in forever.
"No. It was all over the news. I'm surprised you didn't see that."
"Oh, I don't follow the news," she made up an excuse. "Do you know where I could reach him? It's very important that I talk to him."
There was a pause as the woman sighed deeply.
"No. We haven't heard from him in over a week."
"What do you mean in over a week?"
"He's missing," the woman replied.
Noelle didn't get to ask more questions as a loud crash resounded in the room, her door falling to the ground.
Her eyes widened in shock as she turned, coming face to face with her brother.
Cisco looked murderous as his gaze swung from her to the phone in her hand.
He dusted his suit off, walking towards her as if he hadn't just kicked the door open with sheer physical strength.
Noelle's body started trembling, true fear claiming her at what she saw in her brother's gaze. It was the first time she'd seen him so out of control, so…dangerous.
"Cisco, I…"
She didn't get to say anything. He snatched the phone from her hand, looking at the number before snarling at her and throwing it across the floor, smashing it to pieces.
"What did I tell you, Noelle?" he gritted out, his voice low and even but frightening, nonetheless.
Noelle didn't know what came over her, or where her bravery was coming from, but she couldn't stop herself from blurting out.
"He didn't get married. You lied to me."
"Is that so?" His cheek twitched dangerously. "And where is he now?"
Noelle blinked.
"What…"
"I asked you. Where is he now? You couldn't speak with him, could you?"
"How did you…" she trailed off as awareness entered her features. "You?" she asked in a small voice.
At the same time, Yuyu ran up the stairs, stopping when she saw the state of the door and the tension rolling off her husband.
