Untamed CHAPTER NINETY-ONE: A MONTH OF EMPTINESS
A month.Thirty days of silence. Thirty days of unanswered questions. Thirty days of waking up every morning hoping today would be the day they found him—only to fall asleep each night with the same hollow ache in my chest.The police had nothing. No body. No suspect. No leads. Michael's car was still impounded, the back seat still stained with blood that had been confirmed as his. But where was he? If he was dead, where was the body? If he was alive, why hadn't he contacted anyone?The questions circled endlessly in my mind, a carousel of torment that never stopped spinning.I had stopped leaving the house. The twins were cared for—Nelly and Tony came daily, and Dr. Yeboah had hired a nanny to help. But I couldn't find the strength to do much more than exist. I fed the babies when I remembered. I showered when Nelly forced me. I ate when someone placed food in front of me.Otherwise, I sat by the window, staring at the gate, waiting for a car that never came."Raquel, you need to eat
Untamed CHAPTER NINETY:THE SEED OF DOUBT
I couldn't sleep. The clock on the nightstand read 2:47 AM. The house was quiet—too quiet. Nelly had fallen asleep on the armchair in the corner, her phone still clutched in her hand. Tony was stretched out on the floor on a spare mattress, snoring softly. Dr. Yeboah had gone home hours ago, promising to return at dawn with updates. But my mind wouldn't stop racing. Frank. The fragments of his phone call echoed in my head. "She's not going anywhere... we're almost there..." Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that cold flicker in his gaze—the one he had masked so quickly. But then I thought of everything else. Frank had driven through the night to be here. He had brought food and flowers. He had offered to use his connections to help find Michael. He had held my hand and promised me I wouldn't have to face this alone. Maybe I'm imagining things. I was exhausted. Grieving. Terrified. My husband was missing, possibly dead. My babies were sleeping in the next room, unaware that t
Untamed CHAPTER EIGHTY-NiNE: THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING
RAQUEL POV I sat on the couch, staring at the wall, my phone clutched in my hand. Dr. Yeboah sat across from me, his brow deeply creased. Nelly was beside me, her hand on my arm. Tony paced near the window, restless. The house was quiet, heavy with worry. The twins were asleep, unaware that their father might never come home. A knock sounded at the door. Tony went to answer it. Frank walked in, his face etched with concern. He was holding a bag of takeout and a bouquet of flowers. "Raquel," he said softly. "I came as soon as I heard." I blinked at him, my mind foggy. "Heard what?" "About Michael." He set the food and flowers on the table. "Nelly called me. Told me everything. The car, the blood, the police." He turned to face me, his expression pained. "I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through." I wrapped my arms around myself. "The police don't know anything yet. They said he could be... they don't know." Frank glanced around the room, taking in Dr. Yeboah's t
Untamed CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT : THE MIDNIGHT PLEA
RAQUEL POVI arrived at Dr. Yeboah's house at midnight. The streets were empty, the silence broken only by the hum of my car engine and the frantic beating of my heart. The house loomed ahead, dark except for a single beam of light spilling from the study window. He was still awake.Thank God.I parked haphazardly, barely bothering to turn off the lights properly. My hands were shaking as I stepped out into the cold night air. The gate was locked. I pounded my fist against the metal, the sound echoing into the darkness."Please! Open up!" My voice cracked.The gateman emerged from his small quarters, rubbing his eyes, clearly disoriented. He squinted at me through the bars."Who are y—" he started.I didn't let him finish. The moment he unlatched the gate, I pushed past him, nearly knocking him off balance. I ran up the driveway, my footsteps loud on the gravel, my breath coming in ragged gasps."Dr. Yeboah!" I screamed, my voice raw. "Dr. Yeboah!"The gateman caught up to me and grab
Untamed CHAPTER EIGHTY -SEVEN: THE DISAPPEARANCE
RAQUEL POV I had fallen asleep with the babies beside me after taking a warm shower. I didn't realize I had slept for long until I opened my curtains and saw the sun setting. I immediately checked the time and realized I had been asleep for four hours. Michael must be back by now. Why didn't he wake me up to prepare supper? I walked around the house searching for him but couldn't find him anywhere. I kept calling his name but got no response. I checked the compound—no sign of his car. Where could he be? I checked my phone. There were no missed calls from him. I tried calling his line several times but was told it was switched off. I decided to go prepare supper. He was a grown man; he could take care of himself. He would be back after whatever he went out to do. Two hours passed. Still no sign of him. I began to pace. A dreaded feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. I tried to shrug it off, but it wouldn't leave. Think positive, Raquel! I chastised myself. My agitation increa
Untamed CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX: THE AMBUSH
MICHAEL POV We arrived at the construction site about an hour and a half later. The drive had been long, winding through roads I didn't recognize, surrounded by nothing but abandoned buildings and overgrown weeds. I was furious. "Frank, I thought you said it would take only a few minutes?" My voice was sharp with irritation. "Sorry, man, but you wouldn't have come if I had told you the truth." He smirked, not even looking at me. I clenched my jaw. "You think you're smart? So what do you want me to do?" "I want you to look around and tell me your opinion." He gestured vaguely toward the site. I stepped out of the car, and immediately, a chill ran down my spine. The place was eerily quiet. Too quiet. No birds. No wind. Just the crunch of gravel under my feet. The buildings were half-finished, concrete skeletons with dark windows that seemed to stare back at me. Rusted machinery sat abandoned, and the air smelled of dust and decay. "I don't know." I crossed my arms, scanning the a
