Hell Of A Marriage {18+}

Chapter thirty eight - Lost years

One week later,

“Why am I hacking into their system again?” Rory asks Keenan with a curious tone of voice as he opens and accesses some information on the computer screen.

Keenan, who realises Rory has accessed the bank security information, moves closer to him. “Because it’s one week and two days since Vary left and I have to find out where she is that way. I’ll be okay.” He answers with honesty in his voice.

After Vary disappeared from the hospital a week ago and Keenan had no other choice but to try looking for her, in the best way he can.

He pays a visit to Alian, Vary’s good friend, but she told him she hadn’t seen Vary since the birthday party and Keenan went to meet with Levi, but he also said he hadn’t seen her, but would also be on the lookout for her.

After a long unyielding search, Keenan returned home that day, and as he walks over to the nightstand, he sees a note on the lampstand close to the bed. He gingerly picks up the note and notices it is written in Vary’s handwriting.

“I need time to be alone. There are a lot of things I have to do to reset my life. Please don’t look for me, this is better for both of us.”

~Vary.

When leaving, Vary took Keenan's credit card along with her and Keenan was very sure the police investigating her whereabouts could track it and he can get to know where she is, but he purposely withheld the information about his missing credit card when the police were asking if he knew anything about her disappearance. He didn’t care if it would end up implicating him, but he knew he didn’t want them to find her or to arrest her and he also didn’t want her in handcuffs again.

He loved his wife so much and he was ready to do anything that would protect her, even if it was the wrong thing.

Rory looks up at Keenan from the computer. “Didn’t she specifically tell you not to look for her? How do you even know she’s the one who took your credit card?” Rory asks his question, which is completely reasonable.

Keenan places a hand on Rory’s shoulder, making Rory look up at him. “If Taylor tells you to stay away from her when you know what she needs the most is that, would you let her stay away?”

Rory remains quiet because though he is concerned about Keenan’s wellbeing, he knows he would do the same thing if he was in the same shoe with him, “I guess you’ve got a point, but there is no guarantee that she took your card.” He still argues his previous point.

Rory is right, there is no certainty, but Keenan knows better, “I know because she’s the only one who knew where I kept it and she came here first to write a note, so I know it’s hers.”

He sighs in defeat, “I guess you are right.” He replies and without another objection, Rory helps Keenan track down the location Keenan’s credit card was last used.

He taps on the keyboard and sits back as the information comes on the computer screen and draws closer to read it, “According to this, the credit card was used at this motel with the name Christy along the fiery road, about a week ago and it says here that the occupant’s signed in with the name Andrew Klean.” Rory reads out then finally looks at him, “who is Andrew Klean?”

“Vary.” He says, happiness returning to his being for the first time in more than a week now, running to his study table and grabbing his car keys.

He is going to meet her, and there is nothing else on his mind. He doesn’t even know what he’s going to say to her or what he will do, but he knows he’s glad as long as he will get to see her again.
