The man was saying too many things at once. Kelvin didn’t like him. He wished Neil was here instead but his friend had to travel so he had assigned this case to one of his best officers. Kelvin sized the police officer. Size wise, it didn’t look like Noah could do much damage to a criminal but Neil assured him he was small and mighty. Kelvin darted another look at the elevator. His wife was waiting for him upstairs. She didn’t know he was meeting up with officers on her behalf.“Let me get this straight, Noah,” Kelvin started. The information he received from Noah played around in his head in a continuous loop. “Mr Collins came to you. You didn’t find him yourself, yeah?” “Yeah,” Noah agreed. “Then what happened?” “He came to file a missing person report. The name was familiar because Neil already told us about this case.” The man’s bea

Leila didn’t go home. Her mind was reeling too much and home was the last place she wanted to be. She could call Kelvin but Kelvin would bring calm to her life and calm wasn’t what she needed right now. Leila needed to be angry for what she was about to do. The driver made a turn in the direction of her house and she cleared her throat.  “Do you… do you know where they sell guns?” The car screeched and a few other drivers cursed at her driver for his abrupt stop. He apologised and resumed the ride. Leila wasn’t bothered by his reaction. She reclined in the backseat and crossed her arms. They exchanged a look in the rearview mirror and the driver shook his head in disapproval. “Well, do you?” “No, ma’am.” She had a feeling he knew but he wouldn’t tell her. Her phone beeped. There was a text from her husband. Her smile didn’t come immediately but her heart flutter

Nothing?What the hell did she mean by that? Kelvin grabbed his wife’s shoulders. “What happened to your face?”“Nothing.” “Leila,” he whispered in a warning. She stepped away from him and walked on like it was normal for her cheeks to be swollen. Kelvin’s hand hitched in his hair. She was making this difficult for both of them. Leila stopped by the car and he rushed to open it. She got in without another word to him and his heart beat faster as he slipped inside. He started the car but didn’t drive. None of them spoke a word to each other. “Baby, what did I do?” Kelvin asked.“Just take me home.” The drive home was torturously silent. Kelvin’s mind was a hive of thoughts. He didn’t do anything wrong. If anyone should be mad, it was him. He did his best to keep his cool. Once they arrived home, Le

Leila was an asshole. Her husband didn’t deserve to be treated like that but her anger made her react that way. Leila was upset about a lot of things and Kelvin was the only one she could pour out her frustrations on. Her untold anger should be directed to someone else but who? She couldn’t shout at her mother for forgetting her when the woman didn’t even know who she was? Freya already felt bad about her mother remembering her but not her daughter. She hesitated in front of Kelvin’s door. She could go in now to tell him she accepted his offer for lunch and they would make peace. Instead, she made a U-turn and hurried to her office. Her phone was ringing when she entered her domain. It was a call from Freya. Her best friend wanted to know how she was, she needed the details about her disappearance last night. She had ignored Freya’s texts for this long but she wasn’t sure she could do it for much longer. The call ended an

The young couple finally managed to leave the house at past nine. Leila was all smiles as she got into her car. They were taking her car today. Kelvin tackled his seatbelt and she did the same with hers. “Ready?” “You are really not going to tell me where we are going?” he asked. Leila laughed and put the car in drive. “Nope.” Her eyes swept over his polo and jeans. It wasn’t common to see the great CEO in regular clothes. She glanced down at her tracksuit and winked at him. “But you’re dressed for the occasion. We will be there in no time.” No response left Kelvin’s lips and she laughed some more before turning on the radio. A slow song filtered into the car, a song her mother would have appreciated. Leila forced thoughts of her mother to the back of her mind. Today was all about Kelvin and their tenth month anniversary. They had been so busy with her troubles none of them notic
