I want her back

After trudging along for about 15 minutes, Henry finally spoke up, his voice laced with exasperation. "Aren't we supposed to take a taxi? We can't continue walking like this," he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Knoxville chuckled, a low, husky sound, and continued walking without breaking stride. "I told you to let me be, you should have gone with them," he replied, his tone dismissive.

Henry's concern deepened as he struggled to keep up with Knoxville's brisk pace. "How many miles are you going to go? You're going to get tired," Henry said, his breathing growing heavier.

Knoxville didn't slow down, his eyes fixed on some point ahead. "That's my business. It's all my decision," he said curtly, without waiting up.

Henry stood there, mopping the sweat from his brow before taking off after Knoxville. "I need water! I'm thirsty," Henry said, his voice tinged with desperation.

Knoxville finally stopped and turned around, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at Henry. "What kind of PA are you? Are you supposed to want to drink water when your boss is still very angry?" he asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Henry scoffed, his face reddening. "Boss, I'm going to die if I don't get water," he said, breathing heavily, his chest heaving with exertion.

"There's nowhere to get water around here, so you better gather your strength," Knoxville said gruffly.

Henry's expression softened, his concern for Knoxville's well-being evident. "So tell me, why are you behaving like this today? You keep getting mad at every passing minute," Henry asked, his voice gentle.

Knoxville took a deep breath, his tone tinged with emotions, his eyes clouding over. "I want to be mad at myself. In fact, I wish I could punish myself so hard. I left Electra, I let go of the woman who loves me so much. That's why my father was able to tell me I should get married to someone else," he said, his voice cracking.

He paused, his chest heaving with suppressed sobs. "I hate waking up every day thinking of my father trying to match me with someone else. I'm tired, I think I should just end my life," Knoxville said, his words hanging in the air like a challenge.

Henry's eyes widened in alarm, and he quickly covered Knoxville's mouth, his grip firm but gentle. "No, no, no, don't say that! You can't mean it, Knoxville!" Henry exclaimed, his voice laced with panic.

"You're not going to kill yourself, boss," Henry said firmly, his grip on Knoxville's arm tightening.

Knoxville shook off Henry's hand and started walking again, his strides long and purposeful. "And who told you I want to die? I have to stay alive and beg Electra for forgiveness, and I can't even let Maxwell take over everything. Never," he muttered, his jaw clenched in determination.

Henry hurried to keep up with Knoxville's pace, his eyes fixed on his boss's tense profile. "We haven't find her, it being almost six years. Did you think we can be able to find her. I don't think she's in this country" Henry said.

"I don't care, then we have to double the search. Tell my private investigator to start looking for her out of the country," Knoxville said, his voice firm and resolute.

Henry's eyes widened in surprise. "Don't you know her family? You should be able to get her through her family?" he asked, incredulous.

Knoxville's expression turned grim. "I don't know any of her family. We met and got married after two weeks, without the consent of her parents," he replied, his tone laced with regret.

Henry's jaw dropped. "That's crazy! Just two weeks and you both got married?" he exclaimed, stunned. "Sir, I thought you were a rational person, but this...this is impulsive, even for you," Henry said, shaking his head.

Knoxville's gaze flashed with defensiveness. "I know it was impulsive, but I loved her, Henry. I still do. And I'll do whatever it takes to find her and make things right," he said, his voice low and intense.

"I know this sounds crazy, I was so madly in love with her, the first time I set my eyes on her I loved her, I proposed to her after a few days, I married her because..." Knoxville's voice trailed off, and he paused, taking a deep breath.

Henry's expression turned stern, his voice firm. "Why did you have to pause? You got married to her without your father knowing her, you ran away from home for years, and you only come back to tell me you divorced her, and we should search for her? You keep me out of many things, Knoxville. You always do this, you always keep me in the dark, and then you expect me to help you pick up the pieces," Henry said, his tone laced with frustration and hurt.

Knoxville's eyes dropped, his gaze avoiding Henry's accusatory stare. "I know, Henry. I'm sorry. I was wrong to shut you out. But I was afraid, I was afraid of what my father would say, of what would happen if he found out. And then...and then I lost her, and I didn't know how to face you, or myself," Knoxville said, his voice barely above a whisper..

"You left home to avoid an arranged marriage, I get it. But what I don't understand is why you divorced Electra. You say you love her so much, so why did you let her go? And now, suddenly, you want her back. There must be a reason for all this, Knoxville. I'm not just your PA, I'm your best friend too. Talk to me, what's going on?" Henry asked, his voice firm but concerned.

Knoxville's eyes flashed with pain, and he turned away, his voice cracking. "I divorced her because. please can we not talk about it, it's just difficult for me" he said, his words tumbling out in a rush.

He turned back to Henry, his eyes pleading. "I want her back because...because I realized that I was wrong to let her go. I was wrong to think that I could live without her. I love her, Henry, I love her more than anything, and I need her back in my life," Knoxville said, his voice shaking with emotion.
