He Only Married Me For Revenge

Chapter 69: A glimpse of her

Gabriel's POV:

Three years later...

"Thank you, gentlemen, for coming and joining this meeting...blah.blah.blah.blah..."

I didn't hear what's the speaker's next words as I lost my concentration in watching the bypassers passing down the busy street of Am-Phil building in Denver Colorado. I am currently in an important meeting in this city, but since we're almost done discussing some strategies and business investments, I can't help myself not look outside and watch these passing people one by one.

The meeting room is just located in the second floor of the building and it's surrounded by huge and clear glass panels, so I can freely see the happenings outside the building.

It's been three years and I'm still trying to find Madi. And because I am too desperate to see her, I have also been trying to watch every people passing even in this kind of busy streets, while silently praying she can be one of them.

I've been flying from a different country almost every other month, trying my luck to have a glimpse of her. I became addicted to her perfume scent and it made me insane every time I smell the same scent of her on other woman. I also became a fan of entertainment and business news on tv and online, hoping I can see her from one of them even in their every commercials.

I hired different person to watch their house in Florida, and each one for her friends in case one day, she came and show herself to them. But like every day of these past years, the result was the same as my first year of searching... nothing. And here I am, trying again my luck to watch these people pacing their way across each other.

But my eyes widened as my heart started to hammer inside, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar woman. I was stunned in my seat and I don't know what to do.

"Madi!"

I muttered loudly and finally walked towards the glass panel. I didn't notice the stares I am earning from those people inside the room. My heart is pounding loudly as my eyes searched again to crowd down the building.

"Mr. Wilsons?"

-'It's her! I'm sure of it!'-

"Mr. Wilsons?"

-'I saw her!'-

I keep on muttering to myself as I craned my neck in order to see her again, until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I glanced at the owner of the hand. It's Sandy, Madi's friend and my secretary.

"Sir, they're all waiting for you."

I looked around to see them all watching me with different questions swirling in their eyes. I sighed and tried to look again outside before I walked back to the long table.

"I'm sorry gentlemen. I just thought I saw my wife." I explained with a half-smile.

"Your wife, meaning you're married?" asked one of the gentleman in the table.

"Yes, three years ago."

"If that so, where is she? What happened to her and why you sounded so down?"

"Actually, right at this moment.. I don't where she is, and I don't know how I can find her. I made a huge mistake in our relationship before, that's why she left me. And until now, I'm still searching for her. I'm hoping I can still correct all those mistakes and... hopefully, she can give me a chance."

I said with a sad smile but looking in no particular. I'm just looking to the red roses that beautifully arranged in the middle of the long table. How I wished I could turn back all those times and reset what happened. Maybe we are now a happy couple, with one or two kids probably. Maybe she's now with me or waiting for me in our home wearing his beautiful smile just for me.
