Everlasting pain

34.

It's been around a month or so since Elodie was taken and we still haven't been able to find or locate anything about her. Not even a clue or a strand of hair to even know if she's alive

And let's just say it's taking a turn for the worse on all of her close friends and me and Theo

The boys haven't been around as much, except for work they've been filling in for all the lost work that Elodie hasn't been able to complete so that the company doesn't crumble

And well as for me and Theo we've just been working with my uncle Ben and his mafia to try and find any clues to figure out where Elodie is but we're not coming up with a lot

We know the Russians have her but according to my uncle they have a lot of bases and allies who are willing to help them

My uncle has used some of his soldiers already to search some of the warehouses already but to much avail we didn't find her in any of them

I pick up my coffee and some for Theo along with the breakfast wraps I made. I open the door settling them on the office table kissing Theo on the cheek

"Goodmorning my love how are you"

He grumbles a morning back turning around to kiss my forehead "Thank you for the breakfast"

He's clicking away at his computer trying to find something but frankly he's been doing that for a while so I doubt it's going to work. He's not been getting any sleep recently and spends his morning to night at the computer

It's worrying but I know he's trying to convince his mind to do something other than worry and crying over the fact we haven't found her yet

I've heard him crying at night I haven't brought it up to him because well it's Theo. He likes to carry himself in a certain way so embarrassing him will only ruin his pride

I sit in the corner of his office just texting our group chat. Yes we have one with the boys and then all of Elodie's original friends like Ash and Leo, we try to update them everyday of what we've found and if we're any closer to finding her

I hear a door open down the hallway meaning it's either the boys or my uncle. I kiss Theo on the forehead telling him I'll be back and walk out to see who it is. No offence to the boys but I'm hoping it's my uncle

Crazy. Was I partly right maybe however it's not only my uncle but some of his men from the mafia

"Uncle Ben nice of you to drop in and you brought company thanks for the warning" I can practically see him rolling his eyes at my snark comment

"We think we've found something. Now we've checked many of if not all of his warehouses in Russia, but he's got two main underground ones right here which we've overlooked and I think one of them is correct"

He clears his throat signalling to the man beside him "Well I did some researching and according to recent bills the warehouse closer to the east has had recent electric and water bills, causing us to believe there's a form of life"

I smile at them I actually do, I haven't felt myself smile in a while but the thought of getting her back is making me feel a lot better

"So when do we go I mean we have to go now right" I say

My uncle makes a wincing noise "Well I have to suit up many of men, we also have to perimeter the building and just stake it out to understand what we're dealing with so I'm estimating a month or two"

I drop my cup of coffee causing it to spill it's scalding liquid onto my skin but that doesn't even bother me "A month or two uncle is that a joke or something, you want us to leave her there for another month"

I scoff stepping around the broken and walking upstairs to our bedroom, none of us have been in here since she went missing just sleeping in random guest rooms not wanting to disturb her place in bed

But I really need it right now

I throw over the blanket laying down in her usual spot holding her pillow in my arms as if it were her. I let the tears freely run down my face the buildup of my emotions crumbling down from trying to remain strong for Theo and our family

I hear the door open and feel a dip in the bed beside making me know it was Theo. He wraps his arm around my waist and with his chin on my shoulder lightly kissing my neck

"I'm sorry baby for not being there for you I'm so so sorry for being selfish thinking that this only affected me I'll be there for you from now on I promise"

His words of reassurance just make me cry even more I turn around in his arms letting my body relax in his hold, we haven't been able to do this in awhile with Theo's nonstop working therefore causing him to have a random sleep pattern. But this, this is nice

It gives me hope and faith that we'll find her and she'll be okay and happy, and we'll propose to her like we was planning to do on the first opening of her new cafe

And we'll have as many kids as her tiny body can handle, but having Theo with my by my side where he belongs feels nice and I can't wait to get my El back
