Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 198

198 Where Is He? (Winona)

I look around the front and try the huge metal door, but it doesn't budge. I'm super nervous in case he surprises me. He can't be trusted. I know that. I don't know why he wants me here. I just know why I want to be here.

I don't even want to listen to one poison word from his mouth. I'm going to shoot first and ask questions later. Get rid of him forever and then I can breathe. I can live without fear of him. Walking away from my past forever will never happen while he's alive.

There's an alleyway down one side and I grip the gun in my hoodle pocket and walk carefully down there. I see a doorway. A side door. It's ajar, a dark gap in the otherwise solid wall.

I push it open and step inside, the musty smell hitting me immediately.

I stop, it's darker than I'd like. I should've brought a torch. I could use my cell phone, but I don't want to drop it and I might need both hands for the gun. My eyes adjust to the light level as I move quietly inside. My eyes scanning, every inch of what I can see.

And what I see is...nothing. No one.

The place is dead quiet as I walk, I'm wearing soft shoes. My hand tightens around the gun still in my pocket. But there's no sign of Steve. No sign of anyone. What the hell? He wouldn't have left.

Why would he bring me here? He's probably watching me, waiting. Fear hits me and I edge back towards the door I came in. I'm too vulnerable here. He could have anything set up.

I feel the doorway at my back and stand just inside the open door. I'm not losing my escape route.

"Steve?" I call out, my voice bouncing back at me.

Nothing.

My heart is hammering. "Steve?" I call again, louder this time.

Still nothing. A cold dread settles over me. This isn't right. Where the hell is he?

I pull out my phone, checking the time. 5:15. He should be here.
