Chapter 22

On the fiftieth day since Maeve’s disappearance, Donte still had not received any information about

her whereabouts.

The gossip about them spread like wildfire on the internet, but all of it was discussing past conflicts, and no one dug up Maeve’s whereabouts.

Donte’s determination to find her was also worn away by the relentless passage of time.

He dared not return to the empty villa anymore, nor did he want to open the messages sent by the secretary. Even now, when he hears the name Maeve, he would have an explosive reaction.

The Leblanc family stopped all their cards, and he couldn’t spend extravagantly like before to fill

the chaotic heart.

Several brothers also lost confidence and advised him to let go of Maeve and make peace with his

family.

Donte had lived for twenty–four years when he experienced this kind of blow for the first time.

He drank heavily all day, smashing things when he got drunk, crying out Maeve’s name with a hoarse voice, constantly repenting.

Alcohol could only temporarily numb his senses.
