Hundreds of miles would not matter, the only thing that does is that someone is constantly having you as a visitor on his mind and know that every second is worth it. The sadness would not last long, for your beloved would be the one to cheer you up.

It's been five days since Scarlett had called him, since that night there has been no peace, it not because of the blood banquet he has been having or the multiple bottles of liquor and whiskey he has been having in a spun of a day or the fact that his enemies are becoming more bolder these days or Scarlett's men storming into his home three days ago demanding to see her nor was it the shareholders meeting he had few hours ago where those old fat fools were trying to take advantage of his depleted state.

It was the sheer volume of photographs scattered across the living room floor, combined with the shocking events he had witnessed with his own eyes the previous night, had sent his mind reeling into a state of numbness. The lurid headlines in the news and magazines only added to the chaos, their sensationalized stories and grainy images a constant reminder of the maelstrom that had engulfed his life.

And then there were the frenzied reporters camped outside his home, their cacophonous shouts and camera clicks a relentless assault on his frazzled nerves. The resulting pandemonium had transformed his world into a living hell, a never-ending cycle of torment that threatened to consume him whole.

He thought that he was dead without her, he thought everything was fine as long as he doesn't hear that she is hurt or worse dead. He thought he would never let her go but now he didn't know where he stood in her life, he actually did not know what to do, should he be relieved or angry about the turn of events? He truly doesn't know.

"Call back every search team. All of them, I don't want delays. I want everyone back to their original positions before the end of next tomorrow," Tristian's exhausted voice said quietly, he was tired. He needs a moment to think, this situation was out of hand and he has to think about his children before further procedures.

"WHAT??" One of Scarlett's men exclaimed in bewilderment, was it Eli or El, whatever his name was, Tristian has forgotten.

"Why?" Grant asked calmly but Tristian was well aware that he was anything but calm yet he didn't find it necessary to answer to him.

"She is in danger. Withdrawing back would mean you are willing to do anything that bastard says, whoever it is," Amelia said taking a seat across her boss who has a bottle of whiskey in his grasp. His wild hair covering one of his eye, giving him an untamed look.

Leonardo and his brother shared themselves a helpless look, they didn't know what to say, the pictures before them were something they never imagined or saw that coming and, what they had witnessed with their own eyes was shocking and repulsing, "Just do as he says". Cole spoke after a while. He didn't know what Tristian was thinking but he also felt as if they've exposed themselves to the enemy too much.

"I agree as well," Lucio said calmly, "I think we should rethink about everything before acting again because this is not as simple as it looks," He said pointing out the scandalous photos on the floor.

"Call back everyone, um, I think we should call back half of them instead and let the rest be," Tristian said again with a strange light flashing in his eyes, everyone knew what that look meant. It means more blood until he gets what he wants. Whatever he wants now was unknown to the others.

Sudden rush of footsteps approached the living room, "Boss, it's the boss lady. She is in labour". Eva said frantically as she connected the tablet she held to the large TV which flash a video of Scarlett sitting in the bathtub with water surrounding her, she was wearing a black sports bra, her hair was in a messy bun while Jaden started bringing in what was needed to deliver the babies.
