A MAN TO HATE

chapter forty three

Jungkook

I stand up when I see Lohan coming towards me

" So ? " I ask

" It's not him sir, it has been proven that he went directly to his hotel room and spent the night there...he...he was with a man and they were..."

" Spare me the details Lohan " I say, annoyed

" My bad Sir "

I sigh heavily as I run a hand through my hair

Another wrong lead in this investigation and I'm really starting to lose my shit

A few minutes later I see Jacky coming out from the little room where my team was questioning him

" This is ridiculous, do you really think I would kidnap my friend? Are you nuts ? "

I kinda feel like I am, honestly

" I'm sorry, you were the last person seeing with her before her disappearance, that's why..." I try to apologize

He frowns

" That doesn't make it less ridiculous "

" I'm sorry "

I feel really embarrassed right now

He is Bellatia's childhood friend and she is very close to him

It literally feels like I just got Suki or Kailah into that interrogatory room

But I honestly don't know what to do

I don't want to sit here and only follow my first suspicion cause maybe Warren is not the guilty

My wife is still missing and the investigation keeps leading to absolutely nothing

My head is about to explode

I only have caffeine in my blood and not even three hours of sleep since she disappeared

I already made all the worst scenarios in my head, if I don't find her, they'll have to put me in a psychiatric center cause I'll lose it for real

" It's okay...I know that you are probably lost right now, you're not the only one ravaged by this news, find her Mr Jeon, please " he says to me

" That's what I'm trying to do " I reply

" Bellatia doesn't really have any enemy, do you think a business deal could go so wrong that they had to kidnap her or something? "

" I don't know, it's easy to know when Bellatia is annoyed, I would have noticed it if there was something wrong at work, and...we just came from our honeymoon so..."

" Yeah, not wrong...but still check, don't leave any trail untested "

I nod and he nods too and pats my back as he walks away

I walk to the coffee machine and make another cup of hot coffee

I usually drink iced Americano as the true Korean I am...but I need something stronger to deal with all that these days

Bella please, where are you Love?

" Do you think there might be any business men or an elite family that could want harm to Bella and her brother? " I ask Lohan

He takes a minute before he replies

" Actually...the only family known to hate the Montgomery is...the Jeon... Sir "

Fuck my life...

I take a deep breath before I drink my coffee

" Well, keep working " I say quietly before I grab my leather jacket to leave
