Chapter 7
It felt like my world had shattered. What did Noah mean by Patricia leaving the country? I mean, where would she go? She had no one, no family that I knew of, so leaving to where exactly?
Well, I knew staying here would waste time, she was not going to leave me just because she wanted to. I owned her, she couldn’t be alive without me, so instructing Noah to follow her, I quickly ended the call and lied to Irene that I was needed at the office.
“You’re the CEO. let them sort it out,” Irene said and tried to touch me, but I stopped her.
“I have to go, sorry.” With that 1 turned and walked away; she was saying seductive words that always made me stay. I mean, on a normal day I wouldn’t leave Irene, especially when she was looking this delicious, my dick would never let me do such, but today was not a normal day, as my dick was not even erect now, all I could think of was Patricia.
I got in my car and drove out of the apartment without a second thought, I had to stop Patricia; I couldn’t let her leave. She couldn’t just decide to walk away. Yes, I asked for a divorce, but like I mentioned earlier, she wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for me. I saved her life, she
was my property.
I stepped on the pedal as it felt like the car was moving at a low speed.
I overtook most of the cars, so before I could realize it, I was already parking at the airport.
Getting out of the car, I quickly ran in; I mean, how on earth did she manage to buy a ticket in such a short time? It was crazy because Patricia had no one, but it looked like someone was working with her.
Inside, I quickly rushed to the receptionist but met Noah on my way, who was just coming from there.
“I’m sorry, sir, her flight just took off.”
“W–what?”
“Mrs. Miller just left” He said, which made me shake my head; there was no fucking way she left. This. this was a joke.
Pushing Noah out of my way, I walked up to the receptionist and asked for her name.
“Their fight took off five minutes ago.
“Excuse me?”
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“No, you’re fucking not. How dare you let her leave?”
“Sir. I didn’t-
“Excuses, of course, it’s always excuses. When are you ever going to get to do your job right?”
Mr. M
Miller, I think you’re mistaking me for someone else because I don’t work for you.” The woman said, making me chuckle.
“You don’t?” I reached for my phone in my pocket, and her eyes widened in shock, she probably thought I had lost my mind. “Oh, what’s the name again, Annabel? Good name, by the way.” I said as I read the name on the name tag before pressing the phone to my
“Mr. Miller?”
“I’m standing inside your establishment right now, and I want a girl named Annabel; yes, I want her fired”
“Um, Mr. Miller, did she do something-”
“Tmn waiting”
“Alright, sir.” I ended the call and turned to the girl, who still looked confused. Then the telephone rang, and she looked nervous.
“It’s for you,” I said, and looking at me, she picked up the call. I couldn’t hear what she was being told, but I could tell she was fired as she started pleading, apologizing, saying she needed the job.
I didn’t waste time as I turned and then left, ignoring the girl who was now torn between speaking on the telephone and chasing after me to beg as she asked me to forgive her.

Noah followed behind; he kept clearing his throat as if wanting to speak.
“What?”
“Sir, she hasn’t done anything, I think-
“I didn’t ask for your opinion
“Of course, sir.
“Have them take the car, you’re driving me to the club,” I said as I pointed to the guards who were standing in front of one of my cars. the one Noah came in.
1 walked to my car and got in the passenger’s seat, as I knew driving at this point would be very dangerous; I was already struggling earlier when I drove to Irene.
Inside I took out my phone and searched for Patricia’s contact; I stared at it for a moment. If I called her, she might think I was regretting the divorce. I didn’t want to seem desperate for her return when she was the one who needed me.
I don’t know what got over me as I was about to press the call button when the phone started ringing in my hands, it was Irene, so I pressed the ignore button. It rang again, and I again pressed the ignore button. I couldn’t speak to her now,
The phone was beginning to irritate me, so I threw it in the backseat. I turned to Noah, who was silent
“And why the fuck are we still here?!”
“I was waiting for your instruction, sir.”
“You didn’t hear me when I asked you to take me to the club?” He was also getting on my nerves, “Out of r
myc
“I said out now“” I raised my voice, and he quickly got out. I also got out and walked to the other side. “You know the club, find your way there because I will be too drunk to drive,” I instructed before I got in, and without turning back. I started the car and headed to the club
Reaching there, I was taken to the VIP rooms, and there I asked to be left alone with strong liquor. I took a whole bottle of scotch, but still, the conversation I had earlier with Patricia wasn’t going away.
How she served me divorce papers, how she asked if I wanted bleach or vinegar as a drink, I mean, what had really gotten into her? What made her think she could manipulate me into loving her when she knew well that our marriage was not of love?
I was going to order another bottle when a familiar figure appeared.
“Noah, you made it.”
“I have news, sir.”
“If it’s not Patricia’s location, then save it. Im not interested,”
“It’s about Mrs. Miller, sir
“Mrs. Miller? Patricia?” I asked, and he nodded his head, “You found her?” I sounded hopeful, which was really not like me at all, as | sounded like I cared.
“No, but we might know someone who will help us. Mrs. Scott, she-
“Poppy”
“Yes, she was seen with Mrs. Miller at the airport,” he revealed, which made me run my fingers onto my jawline as I recalled the call I received from Poppy earlier. Of course, she knew where Patricia was; she was with her at the so–called hospital
Poppy knew where my wife was!
