Cloud's POV

6 days, it has already been 6 days since she has disappeared, and hiring investigators were becoming useless. Nick and Nikki would regularly come here to check up on me

Mom and my brothers all came to visit me one time to comfort me because of Angel's disappearance

After Angel left, Aiden moved to the seaside which caused me to raise my suspicion. I heard from an acquaintance that I hired to search for Angel in Vancouver that Aiden's concert is going to be held there

I can understand that he can go there but why move and change schools?

So I hired somebody to go there using his job as a guise to find some clues for me and I am expecting news from him today, the sun was out and I haven't slept for 4 days

The first 2 days is where I slowly lost my sleep and Mom was extremely worried I might faint if I didn't get sleep, it's true my lack of sleep is ruining my mood and it is not helping the situation either but I feel like if I sleep I might lose the chance to get her back quickly into my arms

My eyes landed on the grey and white baby bunny on my desk that was fast asleep, I bought the bunny on the day I lost my sleep just so I have somebody to keep me company and to also surprise Angel if I ever find her since she likes bunnies

I petted it gently "Your gonna see your momma soon"

I told that to a bunny but I was just trying to comfort myself

I was known to be patient by the majority of people but in truth, I was very impatient but I try to convince myself that if I am patient everything will go faster

That's not the case now

Abby tried to contact me in every way she can but I cut off all ties with her even the sight of Danny at school pisses me off, I haven't had news of Angel's family since Adeline got mad at me

She must have convinced her sisters to never talk to me

"Don't worry Cloud, the media is already having a storm because of how you used all the different platforms to find her" Liam patted my back as he sets down a plate full of veggies and meat

"You haven't eaten breakfast today and it's almost lunch" Mom entered the room with a concerned face, she gave Liam a nod before Liam leaves the room

Mom looks at my desk with Pictures and sketches of Angel all scattered, she grabs one of my sketches of Angel where she was smiling "She's beautiful in all of your pictures and sketches"

"Because that's what she is" I replied

If only Meghan was here she could help me understand a girl's heart

Meghan if you're watching right now come help me, please

Someone knocked at the door and Nick poked his head through the door "Morning dude" he gave me a small smile

Nick used his power as a famous author to ask his fans for help but so far there are no new updates from them, Nikki used all of her blogger connections to call all of the famous people who have a major influence on social media

My head was hurting real bad and I took only a bite of the food Mom prepared for me, soon I finally got an email from the investigator who went to the seaside

"Sorry Sir I prioritized my magazine job first since my editor was pressuring me, here are the photos that I took" he said in the email, and within that email, there was a file that contained hundreds of photos

I closed my eyes and took a deep sigh

Positive thoughts Cloud, just stay positive

My hand was about to move the cursor and click one of the pictures when suddenly my door was slammed open with Nikki walking in a hurry towards me. Her face was covered with sweat and just like me she hasn't got a good rest since she got back

"Have you guys seen Yara and Peter? I tried contacting Yara but her phone won't answer" she asked both me and Nick

Nick looks at his phone to check the time "Didn't they both leave yesterday to go to the seaside anniversary festival?" He eyes his sister

"Wait, there is a festival going on there?" I asked and Nick nodded

"It's the 105th anniversary of the seaside town, I heard there is an ice cream shop where Aiden gave out free autographs and pictures if you buy an ice cream" Nick explained to me

While the twins were talking there was another knock at the door "Come in" I said

Benjamin peeked through the door before opening it widely, he was hugging a large magazine with his small arms. I stood up and walked up to him then bent my knees to match his small height "Hey bud, what you got there?"

"I think I saw her" Benjamin told me

I raised my brow at my little brother "You saw who?"

He handed me the magazine, Nick went to go sit on my seat and checked out the pictures that were sent by the investigator. The back of the magazine was facing me so when I turned it around there is just a model who was posed with lipstick, I glanced at Benjamin "You mean you saw the girl you like?"

He shakes his head and grabs the magazine from my hands, he opened it to the middle part "I saw her!"

He handed the magazine back to me and there I saw a person that looks almost similar to Angel

I heard someone fall off the chair with a loud thud before I hear the twins yell "CLOUD!"

It turns out that Nick fell off the chair due to surprise and shock at the same time, Nikki's eyes were wide as they both stared at my monitor

Could it be

I held the magazine as I ran to my desk to look at my monitor, there I see a girl who was also in the magazine I was holding

Angel!

"But wait, how can we know if she really is Penelope? She might be a look-alike" Nick stared at the screen closely as he tried to comfort the baby bunny that was startled awake on my desk

Nikki rolled her eyes "Nick have you seen her hair? It looks like it was newly dyed"

Nobody can fool Nikki's eyes when it comes to hair dye since her team are banned from having their hair dyed in different colors other than natural so she is in charge of checking everyone's hair

I held the mouse and checked the other pictures, some of them is where she was in a different school uniform, and in the others, she was wearing an apron in the ice cream shop smiling brightly at a customer

Nick saw the magazine that I was holding "What's this- OH MY GOD!"

He looks at the magazine then at the desktop screen "IT'S THE SAME GIRL!"

Nick read out loud what the magazine title says "My Small Adventure With Seaside Locals Mia Junifer and her Friends"

The name Mia Junifer was next to the girl who looked very similar to Angel, the next picture on the desktop screen is what solidifies that I know that girl is Angel. The girl she was with before and the person who hates my guts, I think her name was Daisy

She was also in the group picture wearing the same beach dress with Angel

"Isn't her name is almost like M.I.A? You know missing in action?" Nick said which earned him getting a deep sigh from Nikki "Nick please don't think of this too deeply, she must have chosen a random name to hide herself among the locals"

The last picture was the same in the magazine, Angel was wearing a yellow beach dress and her hair was down with a flower behind her ear while holding a sparkler near the camera

Anybody can imitate a face but nobody can imitate a smile

Also in one of the pictures, Aiden was beside the girl that poses herself as Mia Junifer. I was a bit pissed he went off to be greedy and have her all by himself

I'm pissed that he found her first

"Aiden Elliot you motherfucker" I grumbled as my hand clenched tightly together

"Calm down Cloud, now that we found her we can get her back" Nick tried to calm me down as Nikki ran to get a glass of water

These past few days I also went berserk and went on a breaking rampage that almost half of my things in the penthouse are new because my old things are broken now, everybody I know except for the twins and Angel's friends are avoiding me because of my temper

Countless disappointments of many people that I hired to find her has finally led me to this exact moment

I finally found her

She looks bright and happy in the pictures like running away was a breath of fresh air for her, she went to all the trouble of changing her appearance and her name. That last investigator was an idiot

He went to the ice cream shop at the seaside and told me she was not there, I found out he is a useless investigator so I didn't take his words seriously and I have to hire another one just in case

With all the loud noises we were making in the room my Mom and Brothers came running in to see what was happening, Nikki decided to tell them the good news "WE FOUND HER!" She yelled happily

My brothers cheered and gave me a high five, Mom was relieved that she shed a few happy tears

"Now what do we do first?" Noah asked all of us

My desktop made a sound that it signifies I have another message, I read it out loud "Just a heads up sir that the girl named Mia is going to perform with the school orchestra on the last day of the festival, she is going to play the piano"

There is no such thing as a coincidence because she is Angel, many clues are pointing out to her

Mom laughed a bit "If you are going to meet her again I suggest you prepare to run"

We all looked at each other with confusion "What do you mean Mom?" Oliver asked

"A girl who is surprised and is not ready tends to run away, take a runaway bride for example" she told to us

She did make a great point, with Angel's personality it seems like she will runaway just from seeing me again

I stretched out my arms and a big grin formed on my face "Looks like I'm gonna need to stretch, Oliver and Mason" I pointed to my twin brothers "Get the biggest net you can find"

I pointed to Liam, Dustin, and Noah "I hope you guys can help me catch her"

Liam blew raspberries "What do you take me for? This family has produced athletes too Cloud, don't underestimate us"

Liam is a Hockey player, Dustin who is good at Soccer, and Noah who is a Basketball varsity player back in college

"And Benjamin" I pointed to him, he looks so eager to help "Watch over Bun-bun" I grabbed the baby bunny from Nick's arms and gently handed it to Benjamin "Nick, watch over the two"

Looks like I can end the search party here, Thankfully I raked in millions for every photoshoot I do so paying off these people would be easy

I messaged Will, Alice, and Jane about the news and the group chat kept blowing up from tons of messages, I only replied "Pack up your bags, we're going to the seaside"
