The Girl He Left Behind Chapter 10By Novel7s / June 30, 2026 The Girl He Left Behind Chapter 10What I asked Caspian to do was simple: keep Evan steady, keep the “disappearance” going.Because I was preparing a nice little surprise for Evan.Three days later, it was Saturday. I invited a bunch of old friends over.They were all our old classmates.The apartment was decorated. In the middle hung Evan’s photo.Above it, four stark words:“Evan Sterling Memorial Service.”Everyone was stunned.“Iris, what is this?!”I wore all black. My face was pale and gaunt.“Evan’s been missing for over a month.”“Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”“His parents wouldn’t let me. They said it would disturb your lives.”“And he’s… still not found?”“No.”Everyone gasped.“Over a month and still nothing… that means…”—“I heard the golden rescue window is 72 hours.”“After that, the chances of survival drop fast.”Listening to their discussion, tears streamed down my face.“Stop talking. Iris is heartbroken enough.”“Yeah, they were so in love. She must be devastated.”They comforted me for a while.Someone asked: “Any news from the police?”“No report was filed.” I shook my head sadly.“Why not?”“His parents refused. Said they’d use private resources to search.”“Makes sense. The Sterlings are rich. Probably wanted to avoid bad press.”Exactly. Evan’s parents were all about appearances.A disappearance like this would be a public relations disaster.As I dabbed at my tears, I glanced over at my phone.The one that was live-streaming.
