When I returned to the hospital, I headed straight to her room. She wasn't there. She was supposed to be there.
I noticed Martha walking past and she noticed me, "Oh, welcome back, sir. Were you able to find who you are looking for?"
"Where is she?" I asked, "Where's Olivia?"
"What? She's not in the room? She was with Ethan," she replied.
I left her there and made my way to my office with a heavy heart. I thought about all the things that could have possibly happened. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something wrong.
I opened my office door and found Ethan sitting on the sofa, going through his phone.
"Oh, hey, you're back," he said. "How did dragon hunting go?"
"Where's Olivia?" I asked. "I checked her room and she wasn't there. Martha said you were with her. I also asked you to look after her."
"She was feeling better and asked me to take her home," he replied. "She said she'd rest better there. I dropped her off. I did refuse at first but she didn't listen to me. Both of you are a stubborn pair."
She was at home then. But why wasn't I feeling at peace?
"I see," I said.
"She opened her eyes and asked for you immediately." he informed me. "I know she's home alone now, but I think she'd love to have your company. It would mean a lot to her. I also think this would be a perfect time to tell her about your feelings."
"I'll go get Chloe. She's still at mom's," I said.
"Just go check on her," he insisted. "Chloe can spend the night at Mom's."
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
"Something's not right," I said.
"What isn't?"
"I'm going home now," I said as I ran out of the office and raced to exit the office.
"Did you see her?" Martha asked but I sped past her without answering.
I got into my car and headed for my house. I started calling her number but it wasn't going through. I didn't want to believe anything had happened to her.
"Maybe she forgot to charge it again," I said to myself as I chuckled nervously.
I tried convincing myself that she was still at home. When I got home, it was eerily quiet and the lights were out. I got inside and made my way upstairs.
"Olivia?" I called.
I opened her door and there was no one there. The bed was neatly arranged.
"Maybe she went to get something," I said to myself.
I remembered the last time I had a scare like this, I didn't check if her things were still here. I opened her wardrobe and it was empty. Her suitcase and handbag were gone.
"No…" I said softly and started calling her number again, but I couldn't get through to her.
I left the house to look for her. Did Jason convince her to stay with him after all? Did she choose him over me?
I was angry.
"What would a billionaire like you know anyway? I won't be surprised if she gets sick of you."
