Several days later, Jaden left several text messages and calls but Regina ignored them. He didn’t understand why she was ignoring him. He went over to Regina’s apartment and knocked on the door.

“Hello?” a gentleman answered the door.

“I’m sorry, but is Regina home?” Jaden asked the gentleman.

“I’m sorry, sir, but who is Regina?”

“The tenant who lives here.” Jaden told him.

“I just rented this apartment two days ago.” The gentleman told Jaden. “There’s no Regina who lives here.”

“What?!” Jaden asked, confused. “Where did she go?!”

“I’m sorry. I just rented this from some guy. He just said the last tenant suddenly abandoned the apartment without any notice.”

“Well, thank you sir.” Jaden told the man, as he went on his way.

Jaden got in his car and drove to his and Regina’s spot. He didn’t understand. Where could she be? Why the sudden turnaround now that he revealed himself to her? He had to find her. He had to convince her to be his girl. He couldn’t live without her.

Meanwhile, Regina was being shown around her new digs as she checked herself into Serenity Springs, a mental hospital, for some counseling. She had to rethink her life now that Parker was dead and Jaden had revealed himself as her mystery man, the one who had been sending the strawberry wine.

Regina had to get a message to Jaden so he wouldn’t worry. She managed to get an aide who had been kind as to lend her cell phone so she could leave a voice mail on Jaden’s cell:

“Jaden, I’m so sorry for disappearing on you. I am at an undisclosed location rethinking my decisions. I need time to think about some things. I hope you understand.”

“Thank you, Geri.” Regina told the aide who had lent her cell. “Now I can rest easy.”

“I am glad to help.” Geri the aide told Regina. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”

“I will remember your kindness.” Regina said before she settled in her bed to sleep.

Minutes later, Jaden had just noticed a voicemail on his cell. He pushed the button to retrieve the message and heard Regina’s message to him. He looked at the call log to see where Regina had called from and dialed the number that showed up.

“Hello? “ Geri asked when she swiped the phone to answer her ringing cell.

“Yes, I got a call from a friend from this number.” Jaden asked.

“Oh, you must be the guy my patient called?”

“Regina is your patient?” Jaden inquired confused.

“She’s staying at the facility I work at.” Geri told Jaden.

“Facility?” Jaden asked. “I don’t understand?”

“I’m sorry but that’s all I can tell you and I’m afraid I may have breached too much already.” Geri told him.’

“Please, you have to tell me where Regina is.” Jaden pleaded. “You’ve told me so much already. I won’t tell anyone it was you. I need to find her.”

Geri contemplated telling Jaden where Regina was, and trusting that Jaden’s word, she went ahead and told him.

“Okay, sir, I will tell you.”

“Thank you.”

“She’s at Oakville Haven.” Geri revealed to Jaden hoping she wouldn’t regret doing so.

“Thank you, ma’am.” Jaden told her. “You’re a life-saver.”

Jaden got some things together and drove the 100-mile trip to talk some sense into Regina, whatever she was in there for. He needed her in his life and he would die convincing her.
