Billionaire's Betrayal: My Ex Beg Me To Love Him Again novel Chapter 89

William’s POV:

CRASH!

“Haven’t you found them yet?” I roared in fury, watching them all cower at my voice. My attendees flinched as an ashtray smashed against the far wall. They had a right to be afraid, because at the snap of my fingers, I could have them all replaced with people who actually knew how to do their jobs.

“It’s been several days since they disappeared,” I growled, digging my fingers into the palms of my hands. “What have you all been doing? Twiddling your thumbs?”

Only one of the men, a security guard, had the guts to speak up. "We’re very sorry, sir. We're trying our best, but it’s like they just disappeared completely off the map! Please, give us some time." The others nodded along with lowered heads, and some of them even trembled under my wrath.

My blood was boiling and my chest was heaving with rage, but there was nothing I could do to hurry things along other than to reprimand them for their idiotic behavior and expect that they’ll bring results sooner rather than later. As they all filed out of my study, I tiredly sunk in my chair, letting out a sigh of exhaustion.

Hundreds had been spent tirelessly searching for Caroline and, more importantly, my son. Yet without the video cameras functioning that night or any witnesses besides Laura, I may as well have been looking for a ghost. I searched high and low, shelled out all the money necessary, and scrutinized every little detail surrounding the case, but there was no luck.

My irritation waned when I felt a small hand on my chest.

"Oh, William, calm down,” Sophia whispered with a calming voice. “Our son will be fine." She rubbed my chest in an act of reassurance, playing the part of a kind, gentle wife.

By now, however, I long since knew she wasn’t that. I detested how she thought to act as though she were Mrs. Anderson, instead of the woman who had uncaringly cheated on me and betrayed my trust.

As of now, she was just the biological mother of my son.

It didn’t change the fact that her pregnancy and George's birth was never supposed to happen, but I’d rather not think about that…

Even when I was deeply in love with Sophia, she had never truly been someone I could see by my side as my wife. I was reluctant to admit it, but when I thought of taking a woman as my wife, I could only imagine Caroline in that role.

With a shake of my head, I endeavored to leave all of that behind me. If I thought of that now, I would only be stressing myself out all the more.
