I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 914

As the sun rose, a firm rap echoed on Abigail's door, disturbing Sean's peaceful slumber.

Grumbling softly, he dragged himself out of bed to answer it.

Standing in the doorway was Josh, his demeanor urgent. "Can you get in touch with Irene? Madam Wright has been searching for her all morning. She's checked out of the hotel without notifying anyone from the office!" Josh whispered urgently.

Abigail, still half-asleep, stirred from the bed, her curiosity piqued. "What's going on?" she mumbled groggily.

"It's nothing to worry about, Abigail. Just a work matter. Go back to sleep," Josh reassured her before turning back to Sean.

"Oh." Abigail nestled back under the covers and closed her eyes.

Sean closed the door behind him.

"I suspect Irene is missing. Madam Wright hasn't been able to locate her, and Luna is growing increasingly anxious," Josh confided in a low voice.

"I recall Abby mentioning that Leon's family disapproves of his relationship with Irene. Could it be connected to Leon's father?" Sean's tone inadvertently softened.

"I'll look into it. You stay here and rest," Josh instructed before hurrying off.

As Sean returned to the room, he noticed Abigail stirring awake once more just as he was about to change clothes.

"Are you getting up?" she inquired, lifting her head from the blankets.

"Yeah, you go back to sleep. I'll wake you when breakfast is ready," Sean responded. Despite his limited acquaintance with Irene, the circumstances urged him to delve deeper into the situation.

"Okay," Abigail replied casually, settling back under the covers and drifting into a drowsy sleep.

Sean proceeded downstairs and promptly instructed Xavien to look into the matter.

He had barely settled in the living room when Kevin's call came in.

Answering the call, Sean's tone was less than pleasant. "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Irene is missing, isn't she? Why didn't you inform me?" Kevin's voice conveyed a sense of urgency, as if his significant other had vanished.

Sean remained silent, feeling that Kevin was overstepping their agreement not to interfere in Irene's affairs any longer.

"I'll handle the situation here—" he began before his words were abruptly cut off.

"Sean, I understand you'll investigate. But as they say, strength lies in numbers," Kevin interjected with reasoning.

After a brief pause, Sean responded, "Then, take charge of the investigation. Begin with Leon, the male designer at L.Moon."

He preferred to keep Kevin out of the loop on this matter.

If Leon and Irene's relationship ended due to this situation, Kevin would slyly believe he still had a chance.

"Understood." Kevin quickly ended the call.

...

Upon awakening, Irene found herself bound in an unfamiliar location.

Despite the darkness, distant car horns could be heard, hinting at movement.

Am I being transported out of Capitalis like merchandise?

She attempted to resist but found it futile.
