Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 173

“Are you telling me none of you were able to find my fiancee?” Adan yelled. “Then what the hell am I paying so much money for?”

“We are working on it, Sir,” the IT man said. “We need time-”

“Time? Does my fiancee have the luxury of time? Each second that she’s out there, she’s in danger. I need to find her as soon as possible,” Adan hissed, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep.

It had been two days since Bianca went missing. Two days since the one who had tampered with the CCTV at the club disappeared and two days without any news about Bianca.

Adan was going crazy.

Who would dare kidnap his fiancee? He didn’t remember having any enemies recently. Could it have been someone with an old grudge?

Grudges were not a new thing in the business world. The competition was stiff and winning certain projects meant being hated by the others who wanted the same projects.

Adan hired the best hackers in the city to track Bianca. However, they were only able to find the first vehicle she was taken in. It turned out the kidnapper had switched cars after stopping at a blindspot with no cameras in sight.

That was why they reached a dead end and they had been trying to find other clues in the last forty-eight hours.

“Calm down, Man,” Adan’s friend, Ryan Kingsley, said. “We will surely find her with our combined efforts.”

Ryan had shown up to support his friend and offer any help he could. He was also representing his wife, Lora since she couldn’t be present for her missing friend, Bianca. The twins were still small for Lora to leave them in the nanny’s care.

Adan pulled at his tie in frustration. He hadn’t slept a wink in the last two days and he wasn’t going to rest until he found Bianca. The thought that something had happened to her made his heart clench with pain.

He couldn’t lose her. Not when he was about to have her.

“Sir, would you like some tea?”

A female voice brought Adan back to the present. He turned to the source and saw his assistant, Cheryl, holding a tray with two mugs of tea.

Shaking his head, he replied, “No thanks. Maybe Ryan would want some.”

“No, I’m good thank you,” Ryan replied, studying Cheryl with a frown on his face.

The woman had offered to help but all she did was find every excuse to talk and be close to Adan.

Ryan was no fool. He could tell that the assistant had a thing for his friend and Adan was none the wiser.

Cheryl glanced at Adan and smiled at him sweetly, saying, “Please let me know if you need anything. I’m here to help… with anything.”

“I’m ok. Cheryl… why don’t you go to the office and oversee things there? The IT personnel will find Bianca,” Adan suggested.

Cheryl’s expression shifted. Something flashed through her eyes before she masked it quickly.
