Jason POV 💋
It had been five hours since I found out Kate had been missing. Five goddamn hours that felt like the longest hours of my life. Running a hand through my hair furiously, I tried to keep my emotions under control.
I was on the garden terrace of my penthouse. The air around me carried the sweet scent of lavender and magnolia. I watched as the light morning breeze ruffled the leaves of the trees around me. Kate and I usually had our breakfast there on the terrace. Grimacing with the pain the memory caused me, I ran a hand on my face, trying to snap out of it but it was no use. I felt broken inside.
Just after leaving Nik's office, I had called Kate's mom and broken her the news that her daughter was missing. It was the hardest conversation I had ever had in my life. She was now on her way to LA with Kate's sister. My parents were in Seychelles on vacation and they were also on their way back.
An arm slipped around me suddenly, startling me. I turned to see Cheryl standing beside me. Her eyes held sadness and understanding and I put my arm around her, glad for her silent comfort.
"Nathan called. He will be here in an hour." She said breaking the silence. Nathan was in New York when I called him with the news. He was there to finalize an important business deal and I told him I didn't want him to come. But I should have known he would fly back home to be with me.
Even Cheryl was supposed to leave for Iceland for filming but she cancelled it to stay with me. At that moment, I was struck again by how lucky I was to have them in my life. They were the kind to drop everything at a moment's notice and come to me if I needed them, as I would do for them.
I became conscious of faint footsteps behind me. We both turned around to find Annie behind us, with a breakfast trolley.
I waved my hand gesturing her to take it back. "Thank you, Annie, but I'm not hungry." I appreciated the concern I saw in her eyes. But food was the last thing on my mind now. If anything, the sight of the extravagant breakfast repulsed me.
She nodded and left but not before giving me a worried look. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat anything until I had Kate safely back. I thought of her, cold and alone, terrified out of her mind. I wondered if she had anything to eat or drink. Would they even bother to feed her? My hands fisted. Was she even alive? The dark thought made my gut clench in denial. No. She couldn't be dead. I refused to even acknowledge the possibility.
Nik was so sure Michael would call me and make his demands clear. If it was money, he wanted in exchange for Kate then I was ready to give him any amount he named. But what if it wasn't about money? What if he just wanted to kill Kate to get me back for Ashley's death? I had never felt such a mixture of rage and fear and my whole body trembled.
"Jason?" Cheryl's concerned voice broke me out of my terrifying thoughts.
"If anything happened to Kate," I didn't bother to hide my emotions from her, "if she is harmed in anyway--"My voice trailed off as horrible images flashed in my mind.

Her arm squeezed my waist. "Nik will find her and bring her back to you safely. You know he won't leave any stone unturned"
"What if he is too late?"
