Chapter 14 

LOGAN 

1 fully lifted my eyes from has shoulder to his eyes; I could hear Irene telling me to make a choice, but I didn’t respond. It’s like I sca here physically, but mentally I was somewhere else

He’s talking to you, babe. What do you think of these?Irene asked, tugging her hand under my arm. I turned and looked at her she was already looking at me with a wide smile on her lips. She looked very happy. I mean, she should be. I should be happy too, but I just couldn’t find it in me 

Irene shook her head as she realized my mood. I felt her slightly pinching my arm as she whispered I shouldn’t embarrass her, but I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t sit here, choose engagement party invitations, and pretend everything was fine, nothing was fine here. so I removed Irene’s hand from my arm and stood up

Honey, what’s going on? You don’t like the designsIrene asked, panic evident in her tone

We can get other designs for you; we can do whatever you want; it’s up to you, sir.” the man said, and I shook my head before I looked at Irene and told her I could’t do it anymore

Logan, it’s going to be okay, just sit andLogan!She yelled as I turned to leave: luckily, she didn’t follow me as I walked out without being stopped. I could hear her tell the man that I was dealing with a lot and that she would do the choosing. I honestly didn’t care. I just wanted to get out of there

Outside. I walked to the car where Noah was

waiting

Take me to the club. I said, pulling out my phone

Mr. Miller, what about Ms. Irene!

She will find her way home.I answered as I got in

But sir, this” 

I don’t pay you to question me!I raised my voice as he was now dancing on my last nerves. I mean, why couldn’t he just take a simple instruction without questioning me

I’m sorry, sir. Of course, the club it is

Good, now move this damn carI said, and he nodded before closing my door and walking to the driver’s seat. The car started moving shortly while I searched for Michael’s contact, he was my only hope, his wife knew where Patricia was since I couldn’t convince her to tell me. I’m sure he could

Michael picked up and complained he was in a meeting. I asked him to leave the meeting and meet me at the club. He at first was being, difficult, but when I threatened to pull out my investment in his company, he agreed and said he would be there

Ending the call, I rubbed my eyes and rested my head against the seat. Noah was giving me weird eyes, but I didn’t have time for hun The gave terrible advice. I mean, what did he know? He was just a driver

Do you know of any family that Patricia could have gone to?I asked, taking back my words, Patricia and Noah were a bit close, she told him things she didn’t tell me, well, not that I cared to listen

No, sir, except for her aunt, who I pretty much doubt shr- 

Talready sent people to check, she’s not there.” 

Then no one,he answered, and I nodded before getting out of the car as we had arrived at the club 

I got in, and since I was a VIP as Michael owned the club, we had our table specially reserved for us 

A waitress came to me, and I asked her to bring a bottle of whiskey. I wanted to start light, one bottle of whiskey did nothing to me. Scotch is what made me drunk because I’ve had whiskey since I was a little boy, so my body had developed some immunity against it– taking a boule of it felt like taking a bottle of water

After the waitress left. I went to my emails and checked to see if she had responded, but nothing. At this point, I was worried if she was still alive or safe. I mean, I was one of the richest men in the States; no one could get away from me, but I sent my people, and none of them had a clue where she was. It’s like she had vanished into thin air

Now if Patricia was from a wealthy family, I would have understood, but she was not, she had no one, no money, just the two million

and trust me, even a man as wealthy as me couldn’t disappear the way she did. I hunted down men with money and found them within. twentyfour hours, but her? I just hoped it wasn’t what I was thinking

You’re crazy, man, what was that for? And threatening me with my company, really?” 

I need a favorI said to Michael, who had just arrived, Sit” 

Seriously! Why didn’t you just say the favor on the phone? Why did you want to meet?He asked as he sat across from me. I didn’t respond, instead, I poured him a shot and handed it to him

Irene took me to choose our engagement party awitations

Okay, that’s amazing?” 

I was sitting there with the love of my life, but all I could think of was Patricia.” 

Which is normal, man. You’re just a little confused, and it’s understandable. Irene is your woman: you two have come a long way.Michael didn’t seem to understand

The other night she almost sliced my throat 

What?” 

I’m telling you something is wrong with Irene, she needs a psychologist.” 

Man, she just wants to get married; marry her and see if she will still be the same.Michael didn’t seem to get my point; I took my shot before I told him I couldn’t find Patricia

Her number is not even going through anymore. I really need your help.” 

Bro, no.Michael shook his head, not believing me 

You’re the only one who can convince her

You know wife, she doesn’t work like that.” 

Give it a try; I really need to know she’s okay.” 

Your exwife: You know you’re confusing me now because just a few days ago you wanted nothing to do with her. I told you, I told you you’ll regret treating her that way, but what did you say?Okay, Michael wasn’t making anything better, so I picked up the bottle and almost poured it into the glass when I remembered what I said: God, if only I could take those words backyes, those words back 

With that I brought the bottle to my lips, and ignoring Michael, who was asking me to use a glass, I gulped it down my throat, ignoring the burning sensation

You’re not picking that up?Michael asked, referring to my phone. It has been ringing for about five minutes now. It kept going off and ringing again 

Ah.I let out a satisfied sound as I placed the bottle back on the table, it was

it was halfway through now. Man, you’re a mess,” Michael shook his head, looking at me with pitiful eyes. Do you love her?” 

What?” 

Patricia, it seems to me that you do.” 

ain’t no way.I laughed. I mean, did I love her? Was it possible! Those questions made me pick up the bottle, and then after telling Michael I didn’t know, I brought it to my lips and gulped its contents down my throat. Bring two more; it’s better to get wasted than have these feelings,” I said while Michael refused, saying, I’ve had enough already

Alcohol won’t solve this for youhe said as he got his phone, Yes, honey, I’mwhat?!.. Okay, we will be there.Ending the call, he turned to me, and I honestly didn’t want to hear whatever he had to say when he said Irene was admitted to the hospitalshe was in an accident
