2. Yun's disappearance

*Few days ago*

RYAN'S POV

I sighed as I stared at the divorce document on my desk once again.

*Divorce agreement between Yun Blake and Ryan Rivers.*

My fingers caressed the part of the paper where her name was, while her words to me few days ago after I had signed the documents, reoccurred to me.

"Ryan, it's important I leave. But as you've pleaded, I would stay a little while until you've accomplished the task you must carry out as your father's son. Afterwards, I would leave."

Yun had said to me.

We were married for six years, she was only twenty one at that time, and her career as an actress had only just began. We'd met at a gala seven years ago, fallen in love and had gotten married one year after.

However, our relationship and marriage had been a private one only known to our close friends and family, because Yun wanted it that way.

Because she was married to me, Yun had given up a part of her dream just to be with me. She had gotten pregnant few months after we were married, and because of the nature of her job and our relationship, she had to stay off set for a really long while.

This broke her and for the remaining years we were married, after the birth of our kids, she suffered emotionally and although I tried to understand and be there for her, my efforts weren't really enough to heal her.

What she wanted was to be back to the woman she was before she had gotten married to me. And although I loved her so much that it was difficult for me to come to terms with her leaving me, when she brought up the idea of us divorcing, I had to let her go so that she could be happy.

However, at the moment, I needed to stay married at least for a couple of months until my father's desire had been granted. And Yun had been understanding enough to agree to my terms.

'Well, at least she's still around, I could still see her for a little while before she finally leaves.' I consoled myself mentally with this.

"Mr. Rivers, there's an emergency."

I raised my gaze to see Jose, my PA, rushing into my home study.

Seeing the question in my eyes, he wasted no time in relaying the information that came as a bomb blast to my ears.

"Ms. Blake, has disappeared."

"What do you mean?!" I thundered, jumping off my seat immediately.

My heart pounded furiously against my chest as I pushed the door to her room open. It was empty. No trace of her was left in sight, her important belongings were gone.

Yun wouldn't do this to me, right?

I retrieved my phone from my pocket and began calling her phone, but it wasn't going through.

I never wanted to part with her this way. This wasn't what we talked about. What of our kids? How did she expect them to take the news of her disappearance?

"Mr. Rivers, I think she left a note." Jose said, pointing towards her bedside drawer.

I hurried over and retrieved it.

*Ryan, I'm leaving. Please don't look for me. I'm sorry I did this in such a time when you need me. But there's no better time than now for me. Zach and Zara are in your care.*

Tears pooled in my eyes as I walked out of the room, that was hers.

"Jose, get someone to check the CCTV, confirm her disappearance from the footage and send it to me. Also, I'm leaving for now. Please make sure the nannies keep an eye on my kids," I paused on my hurried strides at the hallway and sent a glance in the direction of their rooms. "More than ever before." I added, continuing my exit afterwards.

"Yes, Sir."

If I should hurry down to the airport now, perhaps I would be able to catch up with her before her flight takes off.

With this thought, I increased my steps.
