Chapter 160: Chapter 160

"What happened...Kyan are you sure you didn't see her?"Monica asked as she paced back and forth by the entrance door glancing at the watch around her wrist occasionally. She was agitated and worried about Vivienne.

"Aunt Moni I didn't leave her one bit...the nurse took her to see the doctor while I went to the cafeteria to get some snacks for her"Kyan said for a hundredth time not sure how Vivienne disappeared just like that. He didn't leave her but just gave her some space to see doctor Maverick while he got her something to eat unfortunately when he was done and decided to give her some ice cream. He was told she left a while ago by Justin and Maverick

"Then where the heck is she...her phone was left in the car including her purse" Monica yelled mostly directing anger to herself. She was worried because it was getting late and Vivienne was nowhere to be seen. She already called Victor and he went out looking for her to areas she loved going sometimes to relax but so far she has heard nothing about Vivienne and looking at the time it wasn't so favorable nor was the icy weather outside

"The driver said he didn't see her leave nor did she go back to the car...I went back and searched the entire hospital including the CCTV and we'll...I saw her leaving the building"Kyan added the only information he had was Vivienne. How on Earth did she just disappear from the face of the universe without a trace. The driver was outside by the entrance, not the parking lot so when did she go and why did she leave without taking the driver when she always did in the past

"H...hello...Leo...please tell me you found her, "Monica said as soon as she answered her phone which only rung for a split second and she answered seeing Leo's name unfortunately her expectations were shattered when Leo turned out to be asking about Vivienne or if she came back already

"Please look for her...if possible I'll call the police"Monica said as tears lingered in her eyes. It was really late and cold outside. Snow was falling like no man's business and everyone knew how cold London got and now the day seemed to be the worst

"Please find her...she must be somewhere" Monica whispered as she nearly lasts her balance but someone was fast enough to catch her, not even Kyan who was about to do it but Justin came just at the right time

"You shouldn't stress...did you eat?" he muttered as he guided her to the living since she looked pale and exhausted. Monica did push him away nor say anything as she

"Kyan, get some water"Justin glanced back and ordered Kyan who nodded and rushed to the kitchen. Monica sat down and Justin handed her his white handkerchief which she hesitated before taking and wiped her tears ``please...how did she leave the hospital and where could she be…"Monica said with sobs and Justin looked around blinking away anger. He was the one at fault, he was supposed to go after Vivienne when she found out about the truth they have hidden for 9 months.

He was a fool for letting her go just because Maverick told him, Vivienne needed to be alone to think. She was still angry and confused that if they bothered her then they would have made things worse and now Justin regretted that

He should have acted stubborn and taken her out for ice cream so she could be sober enough to accept what happened

"She...I should have gone with her...why did I go to the bank instead of escorting her to the hospital"Monica continued sobbing as more tears flooded her face. Kyan stood to the sides holding a glass of water which Monica refused to take and saw a different Monica. She was always scolding Vivienne and making her stay here hard but how on Earth did she get this soft all because Vivienne went missing

"I'm sure Vic will find her"Justin whispered and mistakenly tried to wrap his arm around her back but stopped Midway before he could touch her in any way. He forgot about this that even Kyan saw how hesitant his cousin was as he retrieved his hands away and put them on his lap and cleared his throat awkwardly

"I'll call Vic and see where he is"he aside got up and walked away leaving Monica crying as she wiped her tears and Kyan sighed and joined her aunt

"Come on she's not dead...pull yourself together...my brother is Superman... he'll find Vivie in no time don't worry, "Kyan said and pulled Monica in his arms but she ended up elbowing him because he was cracking jokes at a wrong time

"Ouch"  he cried out with a pout and Monica moved away from him and sniffed

"I should go and look for her myself...I'm sure she's feeling cold...or maybe she has been kidnapped"Monica said as she rose from the chair confused as she lost her way and started bumping into things

"Please Monica stop this," Kyan said and shoved her back on the couch and she was crying again. He was helpless as he sighed and sat down not sure what to do. It seemed Vivienne was loved by everyone despite how they behaved in front of her and seeing grumpy Monica crying for a girl she always insulted. Kyan was certain life without Vivienne in the Ellison mansion would never be the same.

She had won everyone's hearts with her simple personality. She was easygoing and rarely got angry. She didn't shy away from certain things and thought about all the countless times she helped him with his school work. Kyan too felt hot liquid dripping down his face as he quickly wiped the salty water with the back of his hand

"S... she'll come, aunt, don't worry...I'm sure she's somewhere stuffing her face with more ice cream," Kyan said as tears flooded his eyes uncontrollably. He thought this didn't affect him but now thinking about the girl. He found himself crying like a baby as they waited for some good news from Victor

***

Meanwhile, Victor was driving through the familiar streets his Surrogate always came to. First, he started at the fast-food eating place just by the roadside..it was busy like every time he came to get her even when the snow was falling heavily

"No sir...today she didn't come...it has been a month now," the old man rolling up a dough said shaking his head when Victor showed him his Surrogate's pic

"Are you sure...maybe she came and you did see her?" he asked, still showing the man that unfortunately his attempts were in vain. Vivienne was not here and of what the man said she hasn't been here for a month and he understood that because he forbade her from leaving the house

"Damn it...where could she be!"Victor muttered angrily as he kicked the car Tyre so hard that he didn't even feel the pain. His hair had turned white from all the snow landing on him. His coat was wet from the melted snow and his shoes were something else. For four hours he had been looking around for his Surrogate and so far he had nothing. She was nowhere to be seen

"Where are you Vivienne?" he murmured as he scrolled through his phone checking the pictures he had of his Surrogate. Now what, where was he supposed to go when he searched every corner he knew she would go to but hell no. He stood by his car watching as the people in the streets slowly started leaving. The tiny shops were closing due to the heavy snow and when he shifted his eyes to his car. It was covered up

He didn't waste time as he got in his car. He wasn't going to stop until he found her no matter what hence he drove away from there. He already informed the police even if the detective refused to take his case saying unless the person had gone missing for 24 hours only then would they file for a missing person

"Did you find her damn it!"Victor yelled over the phone while he tried to find where to park unfortunately he couldn't since he was a little distracted

"Find her or else I'll burn everything you own including that filthy police station!" he growled out holding his phone with one hand and the steering wheel with another. All his anger channeled to the wheel as he gripped it so tight that it would snap if he continued unfortunately that wasn't it when

"Damn it" he cursed when he hit someone's car and stopped the car switching off the engine right away and threw his phone away angrily

"Look what you did...come out" he heard the fat man's voice as he knocked at his car door brutally. He caused an accident due to being careless and now

"I'll pay for it" he simply said when he got out of the car but the fat bald man was still yelling

"Do you know how expensive my car is...how dare you damage it and see this your stupid…" the man continued as he hit Victor's car but soon stopped when he saw the brand. Victor didn't bother seeing the shock on the man's face and dug in his pockets searching for any cash.

"You have such an expensive car and you drive carelessly," the man remarked this time he didn't sound so angry which Victor knew he was intimidated by a simple car

"Here buy another one" he gave the man the only cash in his wallet. Shoved him aside and walked back to his car. It was getting late and his Surrogate was still missing. He had no time to argue with anyone about cars hence he got in and drove away from there leaving the fat man screaming in happiness

"I'm rich!" he heard his voice echoing around the dark area but Victor was not even concerned about him as he drove away and when his car disappeared from there the man walked back to his car and started checking the damage made to his vintage old trunk

"Damn baby I'm buying a new one...did that loser even count the money he gave me?"  the man said, scanning the notes in his hands and getting in his car. He was damned to head the same way the tall scary man we went to. What if he came back and demanded the money

"Hell no,"  he said turning his car around and driving back to where he came from

"Holy shit !" he exclaimed when he suddenly looked up only to stop the car because he nearly hit someone but to him,  he stopped just in time only to see some girl standing there. He didn't see her face because her red hair was covering her face but she walked away before he could scold her

"Stupid girl" he cursed and drove away.
