The Search
“Mind your fucking business, okay?” He yelled. “You’re the one who put us in this situation so the least you can do is keep fucking shut!”
“Put us in what situation?” Elaine couldn’t believe her ears. “I was the one who freed you from my husband’s home. I’m sorry but I think I made a huge fucking mistake by doing that. It’s so clear that you’re the problem here.”
“Shut up!”
“Everyone is after you and you still can’t say the reason why? You can’t be kidding me.”
“If you don’t keep shut, those men would come in here and wipe you out of the face of the earth for disrupting their peace. You don’t know who they are, do you?”
“I don’t care. And no, it’s not my fault that you’re in this condition. It’s your fault for joining hands with the bad men after abandoning your family years ago.”
Elaine heaved heavily, her breaths coming in a short harsh gasp. It was depressing to watch her father blame her for the situation that he clearly landed himself in. It was confirmed. She made a big fucking mistake freeing her father from the basement without hearing the other side of the story.
Now she realized that he deserved to be locked and tortured by Xavier and she should’ve allowed it instead of letting her emotions get to her. She should have allowed Xavier to deal with the man who’d abandoned his entire family just to become one of the bad men in the city.
“I…I regret this. A lot.” She cried, her tears streaming down her cheek. Her breath became more and more loud and forced and her eyes widened when she realized what was about to come.
She was about to have an asthma attack. For months, she hadn’t had an asthma attack and each time it threatened, Xavier was always there to cook her down and prevent it from escalating.
And now that it was returning, she didn’t know what to do about it. There was no Xavier to prevent it from happening and the look of the surroundings made her light-headed. The look of the tiny dark room that they were in was enough to make her struggle for her breath, each breath she took in came with a loud gasp.
“The fuck is wrong with you?”
The man beside her narrowed his eyes as he gazed at her in suspicion. “Don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking. You’re fucking going to die if you have an asthma attack here. No one has an inhaler. Fuck, fuck!” Strings of curses flew out of his mouth.
Elaine thought of the lessons that Xavier had taught her, shutting her senses to everything around them. She closed her eyes and began taking slow settled breath, getting the thought of their kidnap out of her head.
She imagined herself back in their room, locked in Xavier’s embrace as he kissed her forehead, whispered sweet words into her ears, and calmed her down perfectly.
Slow and steady, she took her breaths. Filling her mind with the thought of the one she loved the most. At that moment. Nothing mattered to her other than the man whom she’d defiled. The man who was almost searching for her.

“Any clue yet?” Xavier asked the man behind the computer in his study room while he paced the room, his hand on his head.
Rigel shook his head, his gaze fixated on the computer, on the tracking that he was trying to make.
“Her phone has been disabled, her watch too and I believe every jewelry of hers. They were thrown in different directions in the city so that we can’t find a clue.” He replied.
“Fuck. It’s all that bastard’s fault. I should have killed him when I had the chance.” Honestly, he should have. It was the worst decision he’d made in a long while. Letting Albeit Rock live after everything. Albeit Rock, he chanted the name in his head. The bastard had changed his name to Albeit Roland making it impossible for anyone to face him in the Rock family.
He’d remained undercover in the city yet popular to a fault in the underworld. Who would have thought that he would meet the father of his wife in such a way? Never in a million years had he imagined that his wife’s father would coincidentally be the man who was on his bucket list to write off in the world.
If it wasn’t for the secret that he held, he would’ve done it a long while ago.
“I agree with you. I suggest we finish him up the next time we see him. He's of no use.”
“Shut the fuck up and focus on the job at hand, Rigel. It’s been a whole fucking night.”
They’d stayed awake all throughout the night trying to find a clue on the kidnap of Elaine but it was all to no avail. The people who’d taken them had done a good job at making sure there was no clue to trace them.
“This is taking forever. Move.” Xavier ordered. Rigel slowly rose from the chair, stepping aside from Xavier. Xavier’s eyes roamed around the computer, actively continuing the work that Rigel had been trying to do.
After a few minutes of continuous working, he finally found a clue. “The car, I found it,” he announced.
Rigel stepped closer to stare at the computer. “It’s in a fucking bush. I think it has been stagnant since the kidnap.”
“It’s a clue. Send the men to search every nook and cranny of the surroundings. They must not leave anywhere untouched. Is that understood?”
“Yes, boss.”
“They have just three hours to do so. I want a report on my table in the next three hours.”
“Noted.”
Before Xavier could continue his search to find out more clues, the door of the study room flung open. “Boss,” one of Xavier’s men called. “Speak.”
“Older Mrs Romano, she’s here. She’s in the living room.”
