Chapter 95: You are My Husband, I Can Do What I Want With You
Levi was having another one of those days, at that point it seemed to have become an everyday occurrence. He did not know how to bridge the gap between him and Lyse and it left him frustrated, and unfortunately, his staff got a piece of it.
Every minor inconvenience was magnified, every mistake seemed unforgivable. He was snapping at his employees, his voice sharp and his demeanor cold. As he sat in his office, frustration gnawed at him. He needed an outlet, a way to release the tension building within him.
Just as he was about to explode to Ethan, his phone rang. It was Joel, Lyse’s bodyguard. His voice was urgent, his words clipped. "Mr. Van Doren, there has been an incident. Mrs Van Doren has been... taken."
Levi’s heart pounded and he wondered why of all the women he had to end up with, he was with the one who was most danger prone. She seemed to attract danger just by breathing.
"What do you mean, ’taken’? Where is she?"
"She was having dinner at the ’Elysian’ restaurant, she arrived in her car but I saw her being dragged into a car by a man and she seemed intoxicated."
"Why did you not stop him?" Levi exploded.
"It happened too quickly sir, I am driving right behind him." Joel said apologetically.
"Don’t lose them Joel." Levi warned in a threatening tone. "Stay on the phone and tell me where you are headed."
"Yes boss."
A surge of adrenaline coursed through Levi. He did not hesitate. Grabbing his jacket, he stormed out of the office, Ethan following close behind.
