Natalie's pov.

"Alex, It has been full three days and she still hasn't returned" I say in between sobs which don't seem to stop. After our fight I haven't been able to sleep peacefully or even live peacefully. I am so worried about her. She just left and hasn't contacted me. I tried my best to contact her but it all goes to voicemail.

I keep convincing myself that maybe her phone is battery low cause I don't want to think of the worst. Every time I sit and wait for her by the door but she never shows up. The plan was to support her but now it turned out to be the end of us. "Shh, we'll look for her okay" Alex takes his car keys and we both go out.

"Mommy, where's aunty Brittney?" Little Reece asks me. I hold his hand and kiss it. How do I tell him what happened. Alex picks him up "She's just gone for a few days.. a holiday" he tells Reece who seems convinced.

We need someone to look after Reece and also need all the help we can for the search of her. So we decide on Lorraine and Vally. They the only people whom we can ask for help. Pressing the bell the door opens. "Hey Lorraine" Alex greets her while I stand behind him and clear my face that's a mess.

"Hi, come on in?" She says and we enter her home.

"What's wrong is everything fine?" She asks me after seeing my face condition. I look at Reece and then back at her. I can't let him know what is it that is going on. "Oh, boy Sasha is outside in her doll house. Go on and join her tea party" Lorraine kisses his little cheeks and he runs out.

"Brittney is missing and now we need help to get her back.. can we keep Reece here while we search for her please" I tell her. I feel very bad for what happened. All of this is because of me. I am the big bad wolf. And she is right I will always be the bully.

"Oh my.." She puts her hand over her mouth in shock. I look down as I feel the tears coming again. "Lets go. Vally is upstairs I'm pretty sure he can help" she tells us and we all go upstairs with her. She leads us to a room with blasting music and danger signs on the door.

"Vally open up" Lorraine knocks and opens the door.

"You know how much I hate when you disturb my peace" Vally groans but the look on his faces changes when he meets my watery swollen eyes and red nose.

"What's wrong?" He asks lowering the music and stands up.

"Brittney has been missing for three days now and...." I swallow in order not to cry.

"We need help can you?" I finish my sentence and watch how his face turns into a worried one.
"What are we waiting for, let's go" he grabs his jacket and we all hurry downstairs.

"Don't worry about Reece I'll look after him. Just keep me updated" Lorraine tells us as we enter Vallys car. We decided on his since its a sports car which drives faster then Alex's. "Hi, Kristen. How you doing?" I ask her.

"Hello, Nat. I'm good and you?" She answers. I really hope she will be worth it. I know I should've thought of this long ago but Alex told me to give her space to think also which is why I hadn't gone to the police station. "Have you seen Brittney?" I ask her.

"No, she hasn't been coming to work also. I was about to call you and ask you about her.. is everything okay?" She asks and I feel my heart ache again.

"Yeah. Thanks for your cooperation" I say and cut the call before she can ask more questions.
"Kristen hasn't heard or seen her" I sigh and hold my head while closing my eyes.

"I'll find her... I promise" Vally whispers to himself while driving faster by the minute. "Lets go to Kevin's.. maybe she's there" I suggest. I'm pretty sure she must have run off to him. Within minutes we parked outside his mansion.

"Hi...I'm looking for Kevin Brown?" I ask this guy in black suit standing outside. It feels like I'm in a action movie. "Is it urgent?" James bond asks in a deep voice. 

"Yes please" I beg and give him my best puppy eyes. He is going to be throwing me bombs next. He takes out a walkie talkie from his jacket and gives a code. "His coming" James bond informs me and goes back to being all serious.

"Hi Nat. What a lovely surprise. Did he give you any trouble...This is my sister in law, you should've just let her in...Zack You fired"  Kevin comes out and starts shouting at James bond who turns out to be Zack bond.

"No, please he didn't know me.. don't fire him." I tell him and he looks at Zack then shakes his head. Zack goes and stands inside to give us privacy. "What happened? Look at your face. Nat you look horrible" Kevin says while holding my arms.

I explain everything to him including the fight. He starts pacing up and down. "Fuck, fuck, fuck" he curses then takes out a bottle of some pills which he drinks without water.

"Lets go look for her.. NOW" he demands and while running towards Vallys car.

"What the fuck?" Vally shouts looking at a already seated Kevin. "Not now okay" Kevin panics and puts on his seat belt. Vally clicks his tongue and starts to drive. I never knew they know one another. The ride goes fast and bad because of Vally and Kevin's arguments.

They have tension and it's so visible. "Lets try the hospital's?" Kevin suggests.

"Why hospital.. She ain't dead unless you know something which we don't?" Vally says. Kevin snaps his head at Vally.

"I was just suggesting. Unless you Mr know it all knows where we can Fucking start?" Kevin says all furiously. I don't know What is it that happened between them but it's bad. Very bad.
"How about hotels?" Vally says.

I never thought of that. Of course she must be living by a hotel somewhere. "I agree. Lets have a look at them" I say and shake my head repeatedly.

"I know your girl better then you" Vally smirks and starts driving. Kevin Is upset and looks at Vally with murder on his face. They better keep they hands to themselves until I find my sister.
We go hotel to hotel and nobody has checked in by the name of Brittney.

"I won't give up" I say as we slid inside the car.

"There's one more hotel I know of. But it's very far" Kevin says and we all look at him anxiously. He starts giving Vally the directions and it's good to see them working together.

"How may I help you'll?" A lady at the reception asks us.

"I'm looking for this girl?" I take out my phone and show her a picture of Brittney that we took on my anniversary. "Sorry but we don't give out our guests private info..." She is cut of by a anger Vally.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND TELL US HER BLOODY ROOM NUMBER" he shouts at her. We all turn to face a frustrated Vally and a really scared receptionist.

"Room 604, third floor" we all run to the elevator and go to the third floor. Kevin knocks on her door but there's no response.

"Move" Alex runs towards the door and kicks it open. Oh my handsome, strong husband.
