Chapter 004

Dane:

"James, report to my office immediately" I told my assistant over the cellphone which I just removed from its patch and James, my assistant walked into the office in less than a minute.

"Sir Dane" he bowed.

"Where the hell is Savannah?"

"Mrs. Walker hasn't checked in yet" he responded and I hit my fist against my desk so hard that James flinched.

"She hasn't come in to work at all all morning?" I asked again and James nodded quickly.

"No sir" he said and I scoffed inwardly.

"Go James, check to see if you'll find her anywhere around" I told him and James bowed slightly in affirmation before rushing out. It was only after a few minutes that he came back with no leads.

"I called your home's number but no one's picking up" he explained and I frowned.

That only left me with one option. The fact that she was with another man... Having an affair.

It had better not be the case because I would make her regret choosing to let her prostitution affect her work. She neglected her duties, and there would be a huge deduction from her bonus for that.

"You look so angry, Dane. What's wrong?" Maggie murmured behind me, her hands fondling my chest as she hugged me from behind.

"Is it your wife?" She added when I didn't respond. I sucked in a sharp breath at the thought of that bitch being called my wife. Wife, or a bloody bitch?

"Oh please, that woman is nothing but a bitch! She would return here and explain why she hadn't resumed work by 2pm and I seriously hope she wasn't with a guy because if she was, she would be signing a divorce immediately" I took out my anger on each word that left my mouth.

"Dane sweetie. I'm so sorry about that. I didn't think she was that kind of person but..." Maggie trailed off but I was too mad to even listen to anything else. I grabbed my car keys and made my way to the door but Maggie's arms around mine stopped me from walking.

I gave her a questioning look. "What is it, Maggie? You have to let me leave now. I'll find that whore, bring her back here and give her the right punishment. I'll be right back, I promise. No one can hide from me, I hunt them down no matter what" I told Maggie and she pressed her lips into a thin line. Something she does whenever she is nervous.

What the hell could she be nervous about?

"Dane, do you have any feelings for Savannah? You look so anxious for hours because she is nowhere to be found" She asked, her voice a scratchy whisper and then I faced her squarely, holding both of her hands in mine.

"Trust me, Maggie. I will never fall in love with someone like Savannah. She is a failure as a wife and as a woman. She just... She has to pay for forcing herself into my life, that's all. I can't just let her back off now because she thinks she has had enough. She should pay for every single damn thing she did to me, every single moment she made me spend away from my happiness and I would divorce her right after I get what the hell I want" I explained and I saw her eyes lit up but then saddens again.

"Wait, Dane. I don't know how to say this. I don't even know if I should say this, but in case this eventually hurts your ego to find out later through a different source... Here, take a look at these" she muttered, handing over her phone to me. I took it from her and my eyes widened in shock and anger. It was a picture of Savannah with a man. They seemed pretty too close to avoid a love scandal.

"How dare you, Savannah!" I growled, clutching the phone really tight in my hands.

"You'll destroy it, Dane. And then there will be no evidence to show that you saw her. A woman who can do this would definitely lie to earth to deny it" Maggie reminded me and I released the phone, handing it back to her.

"If you got this from a reliable source, then it means you know where she is, right?" I asked her and she sniffed, wiping two lone tears that escaped her eyes.

"The thing is... At the restroom this morning, Savannah told me to stop crossing the lines with her husband and the father of her child. Indirectly, she was telling me she was pregnant with your child and I felt happy for her because you really wanted an heir but when I asked why she hadn't disclosed the news to you, she said she wasn't going to keep a child for a man who doesn't give a shit about her..." More tears poured out of Maggie's eyes as she spoke and I wanted to scold her so much for not telling me sooner but I couldn't, not when she's crying this much. She really loves me, doesn't she?

"I'm really sorry, Dane. I just didn't think she was serious about getting rid of an innocent child. I thought she's just saying that to be sarcastic to me" Maggie murmured in tears and I scratched my brows in confusion.

"How do you know she went to get rid of my child as she claimed, then?" He asked and she sniffed again.

"Right after this scene, she was found at a hospital with that guy" she explained and my eyes glowed dangerously.

"If anything happens to my child, Savannah, you will not see the light of tomorrow. I promise, I will kill you!" I growled in anger before heading out still.

I got to my favorite hotel bar and drowned myself in countless bottles of alcohol. I couldn't pick any calls, all I could do was think about everything Maggie explained to me. I had always known that Savannah was a despicable evil woman but I never knew she was also a murderer.

How could she even think of taking the life of an unborn child?

I fisted my hands so hard to keep my anger at bay but it only kept rising. I couldn't control myself. The thought of losing my child just because she thinks I'm not being nice to her only made me fume with rage.

I went home earlier and waited for the arrival of the bitch but she didn't arrive even till midnight... then the next day and even the day after...

With each passing minute, each passing hour, each passing day, I felt like I could bring down the whole world with my anger. Savannah would not go scott free. I will find her and make her suffer so much that she'll eventually beg for death and she won't find it.
