-Don Jones-

It had been a whole frustrating week without any signs of Eri or Hane(not that I cared about Hane. If I were to see her, Eri would obviously be close by).

I couldn't get myself. I was totally loosing it without Eri.

I had no idea where she could be. She wasn't in her house and the places I'd sent some bodyguard to search.

The stupid driver she took along came back alone, saying she told him to just drop her off in a beach and should get going.

Of course, the beach was thoroughly searched but still no sign.

The fact all this was my fault, made me more annoyed at myself.

"Gosh, I can't believe she's Catherine's daughter." Mom kept pacing the parlor back and forth, her hands on her hip.

Violin's gaze turned to me in irritation. "I knew you'd always be a trouble maker."

She scoffed while I glared at her. This was not the time to start acting childish and stupid.

"I knew it. They have slight resemblance." Mom started. "The first time I saw her, I just remembered Catherine."

"Where the fuck could she be?" I turned to Darien who was watching something on the TV. That only infuriated me.

"You should eat something at least." Mom continued, but that wasn't what I cared about. Food was not in my dictionary at this moment.

What if she hasn't eaten either? What if she's not well? What if-

"No." I ran a hand through my hair. That was probably the billionth time I was doing that.

"You're going to hurt yourself at this stage." She sounded genuinely worried.

Turning to Darien, she added. "Please Darien, talk him into eating. He's going to fall sick."

"He deserves it." I'd expected that from him, but hearing it only infuriated me more. I glared at him. My glare obviously not intimidating him.

"I've been telling him for a week now to talk to her about it, but this dummy thought it best to just not talk."

I sighed in frustration. "This is not the time to put blames on anyone."

"So now that things aren't looking good," he continued like I didn't even talk at all, "you're expecting everyone to pamper you and support you."

I clenched my fist. This dude was not helping at all.

"Shut the fuck up." I said through gritted teeth.

Obviously he didn't heed. "Now Eri found out elsewhere and is no where to be found. If you had just listened to me and told her earlier, things wouldn't have taken this turn."

I stood up from my seat in anger, stumping towards him and grabbing his shirt with so much strength, he was pulled out of the chair he sat on, ignoring the shouts of my name from mom and Violin.

"Shut the fuck up!" I spat. "Eri is no where to be found and I have no idea if she's safe or not but you're here not helping at all."

He was obviously not intimidated by the anger flowing in me. "Do you think I don't want Eri to be found?!"

He furrowed his brows. "None of this would have happened if you had just told her the truth from beginning! Now let go of my shirt!"

That brought me back to my senses.

"Sorry, I didn't-" I let go of his shirt, falling on the chair he was sitting on.

"I understand." Now he looked like he actually cared. "Just give her time, I'm sure she'd come back when she's calmed down and taken it all in."

I sighed, turning to mom and Violin. "Mom, where's dad?"

Maybe I was just imagining it, but I thought she gasped a little nervously, staring at anywhere but me.

"He-He's got some work to do." She didn't sound like she was saying the truth but at that point, I didn't care about my dad but at finding Eri.

The company's stock could have a big flop it were to reach the awareness of the public that Don's wife's mother died because our family refused to give her money to feed.

They might not have cared if she was just sone random person, but she ended up being the anonymous fiancee everyone had been waiting for so of course they'd be interested.

I hated things that affected the company. This company had been flourishing for generations to come.

When my dad gave it to me, he had made me promise not to let anything bring it down and I won't let anything bring it down.

Don might not see this as serious as I see it, probably because he was stupid enough to let love bring him down, but I won't let anything bring my company down. Anything or Anyone.

There was a knock on my office door.

I stared at the door. "Come in." Of course, I had that stern tone I'd been using since I took over the company. With time, it became part of me.

The door opened, a man walked in, sauntering towards me with bowed head.

I turned back to the files I was sorting out. "Do you have any information?"

I was sure he was still bowing his head before replying. "We've found her whereabout."

"Bring her to me." I ordered.

"Yes sir."
