Chapter 119

Something was wrong, I could feel it in my bones. The movie was about to start and my wife was still nowhere to be seen. I had been waiting outside the bathroom for her and it had been almost twenty or so odd minutes.

“Hey, Damon.” Gabriel came out of the theater dressed in his suit. “Where is Adelaide? We need to give the speeches and everyone is waiting for her.”

I looked at the bathroom door and then back at him. “She went in there a little bit ago and she hasn’t come out.”

The logical thing would have been to get another female to come and go inside but when it came to Adie there was no real logical side to me. And when I smelled danger I just moved on pure and utter instinct.

“Screw it.” I grabbed the door and walked inside. No one had been in after Adie came in so I knew for the most part that it was all clear. “Adelaide? Adelaide?”

1 pushed every single stall door open searching for my wife but I came up with nothing. How is it possible that she was not in here? I had been standing right by the door and I would have known if she had come out. Immediately, alarm bells went off in my head. Something wasn’t right.

I looked down on the floor, and that’s when I saw her bag, all the contents inside it were sprawled all over the floor. That’s when I knew. Someone had taken her and I would bet my entire fortune on it being two people.

“Did you find her?” It was then that I remembered that Gabriel was standing outside the bathroom waiting for me.

I picked up my wife’s clutch and put all the contents that she had left behind inside. I then stormed out of the bathroom, breezing past Gabriel like a man on a mission. Someone had taken my wife and I knew that it either had to be Angela or my psychotic, idiotic brother who for some reason had not learned his lesson the last time around. I had warned him that if he was to ever cross me or my family again that it would mean the end of him and I guess that he didn’t value his life at all. “Hey! Where are you going?” Gabriel ran after me but I didn’t slow down. “Are you listening to me? Everyone is still waiting for Adelaide to come through. Is she sick? What should I tell the others?”
