Greatest Pleasure

twenty eight - told you

Romeo's pov

I ignore the pain coming from my chest as I notice the ache coming from everyone in the house because of Stormi's absence.

It's a hard blow for everyone especially because Stormi was the sunshine in the house everyday no matter what.

It's only been less than twenty four hours but it still hurts.

I put down my beer as I feel my phone vibrating.

Jullian.

Before I could even say 'hello', Jullian started to ramble on.

"Stormi ran away! She was in the bathroom and disappeared through the window! I can't find her anywhere! I've been looking for hours!" He screams panicking.

He's a dead man.

My heart squeezes at itself and all the air from my lungs are stuck in my throat.

I knew this was going to happen.

I knew she was going to cause a scene when she woke up.

"Have you called Kaden?" I whisper.

"I tried! He was upset earlier because Stormi grabbed my phone and called him. She was so upset." I could hear the tears coming down his face.

"Send me your location. I'll be there soon." I hangup and call Jarred filling him in.

I drown the rest of my beer before telling everyone to get ready and to get the car ready.

I send out a report to let everyone in our network know to keep an eye out for Stormi before heading into Kadens office.

He looks like shit. He's been moving none stop doing everything in his power to find results. Doing everything to bring Stormi home safely.

His blue eyes are a hallow black with black bags underneath his eyes.

I knock on the side of the door frame.

He lifts his head with hope in his eyes but it instantly fades when he sees me.

"Jullian is trying to reach you." I whisper.

He nods. "I'm afraid it's Stormi again. She...uh she....she hates me. You were right."

The regret in his voice is clear as day. I watch his eye gloss over before he looks down.

"Stormi ran away." I whisper taking a step back.

His whole body stills as his eyes widen. It takes a few seconds for it to hit him and he stands up the second it does.

He throws his desk across the room and grabs his phone before rushing downstairs to the car.

I jump in the driver's seat and put the location into my gps. It's over twelve hours away.

"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU LOSE HER?" Kaden screams on the phone.

I look back and forth into the rearview mirror and watch his face harden with each second.
