The Billionaire's Secret Lover

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.

“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.

“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro the office. I couldn't help feeling sad for him when he was trying to get in touch with his wife who chose to go after my wife. 

I turned to see Inspector Peller, John, and Don perched on the couches trying to track down Deborah from her car or phone or whatever with a young dark guy who they call a computer whiz kid but still there isn't any improvement.

“ Fuck!!!” Inspector Peller swore in frustration as he slammed his fists angrily on the couch. I knew that this case had become personal to him, he was frustrated with how Deborah had played everyone, especially him in his game, that he vowed to catch her at all cost.

“ Sir, your parents and the Millers are here to see you!” Aurora's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned to glare at her standing in the doorway.

“ I'm not in the mood to receive any visitors. Send them away, make excuses for me” I told her waving her off angrily. I don't want to deal with my parents nor the Millers adding to my headaches.

“ But sir___ what should I tell them?” 

“ I don't care. Tell them anything, just don't let them come into my office ” I shouted at her about to go and slammed my door in her face when my dad's voice stopped me on my track.

“ Michael Vincent Thompson, how dare you tell your secretary to send us away. Are we not your family again?” His voice thundered across the room as he pushed Aurora to the side and walked into my office glaring at me.

“ Dad, that's not what I mean. We still haven't found the girls and now Nina's missing. I don't____”

“ What did you just say? What happened to my daughter? Why is she missing? Are you not supposed to watch over her?” I groaned as I turned to look at Mrs. Miller who was glaring at me across the room. I've forgotten that they were also present in the room.

Enough!” I shouted at her dad who was trying to protest and defend himself“ I have always listened to you all these years and do your wishes but today, today, it is time I do all the talking and you all listen to me” I told them each pointing a finger at each of them. Mom was sobbing on Dad's shoulder but I wouldn't even look at her. She brought all of these to us. If only she didn't force me to
