"Bullshit."
There is no way that Amelia left me. We are in love. We're going to get married. All that time we've spent together. I know it was real. I felt it. There is no way she's left me.
"Where the fuck is she?" I scream, feeling the veins on my neck throbbing.
"Stefano, Amelia has made her choice. I wasn't happy to have her leave, but she made her choice. I don't know where my daughter is, and I have no way of contacting her. She made this choice." His eyes are full of fear and defiance. But in them, I see no lies. I see a father who looks like he is saddened to have lost his daughter's company.
I shake my head, my finger playing across the trigger of my gun.
"She chose another man?" I ask in disbelief.
"She did."
"When?"
"Two days ago."
"Who?"
"I don't know."
"Fuck." I scream.
I can't take this. I don't understand what the fuck is happening. It's like I came home to a nightmare. Why didn't I send one of my guards over to her house the moment she didn't answer my calls? Why didn't I think ahead, so that I could stop her from doing this?
I storm out of her father's house before I shoot him in the head out of sheer blind anger.
I am livid. I am fuming and raging and storming inside.
I am broken and torn and shattered.
It feels as though someone has dug their sharp bony claws into my chest and ripped my heart out.
I remember that day, years ago, in another life when I vowed never to love anyone again.
I remember the pain I felt then - and the pain I feel now.
I called her phone three more times on my way home, but the line has definitely been disconnected.
At home, I call my head of security and a private detective.
I won't leave this alone. She has to talk to me. She has to answer me.
I have to see her no matter what.
I want them to start looking for her right now. Because I will find her. I will find her, and I will have her back with me. She is not leaving me. She is not disappearing with another man. I am the only man for her.
She belongs to me.
I'll get her back and lock her inside my mansion. Whatever choice she made to leave me was a mistake that she will forget about, and she will fall in love with me again.
For weeks my team searches and I push them, day and night, hiring more and more people, but I find nothing. Not a trace of her or this man she ran away with.
It's as though she has disappeared into thin air -- a whisper in a breeze that I can't hear well enough to follow.
I lay awake at night questioning everything.
I don't know if any of it was real for her. Why did she lead me on and taunt me like that? Why did she make me believe in love again only to rip it away from me?
