(Author's POV)
By the morning of the next day, a raid by police was planned on Karsten's villa after receiving the search warrant from the judge.
The evidence against him was substantial, especially with Arata's words from the videos and audio.
But to their astonishment, they found his place empty except for the house staff and his personal guard, Olphi.
"Where is Karsten Chevalier? We have a search warrant and are here to take him under custody." The lead detective on the case informed Olphi. They had been trying to reach Karsten but his phone had been switched off.
Olphi simply shrugged his shoulders. "He didn't inform me to where he was headed. You are welcome to search his villa. Mr Karsten has nothing to hide."
He stepped aside and let the armed police officers enter Karsten's sanctuary.
Asbela trembled beside him, so he wrapped a big, assuring arm around her shaking figure.
