2. After Losing Her

After Celine's disappearance, Alex finds his life in chaos. The only thing on his mind was her. He immediately leaves his penthouse in pursuit of his beloved.

The handsome man with blue eyes contacted his men to find out his lover's whereabouts. He was worried because she could not be contacted.

Before leaving the penthouse, Steave Jo was suddenly at the door.

"Oh, you," Alex said past him.

That nonchalant attitude made Steave suspicious. He held his partner's hand. "Is there a problem?"

"Sorry, I have to go."

"Are you crazy?! We have an important meeting today."

Alex let out a heavy breath.

Reluctantly, Alex spoke up, "Celine is missing. I need to find her."

"Missing? What do you mean?"

"Celine just left when I was going to drop her off. She can't reach either."

Steve could see the obvious anxiety on his friend's face. Alex, who always looked cool and unfeeling, seemed to be melted by the blonde woman named Celine.

Steave tapped Alex on the shoulder. "Your men are already on the move, aren't they? Why did you bother going?"

"Because she's my girlfriend!" snapped Alex.

Steve chuckled. "If your enemies knew about your shortcomings like this, they'd take you out right away."

"What do you mean?"

"Ah!" Steve snapped his fingers. "Or maybe Celine's disappearance is a trick because your enemies already know your weakness?"

"Damn it!" Alex tugged on Steave's shirt collar.

But the man with the sweet black eyes just smiled calmly. "Look! You were blinded by Celine. It's not the first time, Alex. You frequently ignore me in favor of that woman even though we've known each other for much longer before Celine came into your life. You don't even remember this friendship."

The words spoken in a calm tone were quite striking to Alex. He then released his grip from Steave's collar as he began to think randomly.

"Celine is a bitch who just enjoys everything you have. Your body, your wealth, your power. All you want!" added Steve, again trying to wake up his partner. "If she wasn't like that, she would have stayed by your side. She wouldn't just disappear after receiving a lot of benefits from it."

"She went to her sister's graduation!" Alex was still making other possibilities.

Steve laughed. "Do you believe that?"

Alex didn't even give a meaningful response.

"It's better to play around with different women, so you know which one to date since you've seen them all instead of going straight for one. Or be like your youth. Just fool around with different women, then leave the money behind. You'll be satisfied without being squeezed."

Alex looked at his friend meaningfully while digesting his entire sentence in silence.

"Come on, let's have some fun at the club. We can also book a woman for this morning."

A woman in a coat and tight leggings came out of a room while taking off the coat, leaving only her bra and long wavy blonde hair. Her body looked like that of a model. She was also 170 centimeters tall. She has a slim waist, beautifully curved hips, and firm breasts.

"Here, Miss Irene." A staff member handed her a glass of wine, and she took a sip and then turned to her cigarette.

She leaned back casually on the back of the chair and exhaled so that his cigarette smoke filled the air.

"Irene!" A man approached her breathlessly.

"What's wrong?" asked Irene, casually enjoying her cigarette.

"You should go to the bar this morning."

"What?!" Irene straightened her seat in shock. "You said I should go there tonight."

"No! It is sudden."

"F^ck!" Irene swore in annoyance. "No! I don't like sudden things!"

"How can you not? In the case of an investigation like this, we can't avoid unexpected situations." The man named Jeffrey, dressed in a suit, tried to persuade Irene. "That cop will pay us double. Are you going to refuse?"

Irene stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. He rose from his seat. "I haven't even finished my sentence."

Jeff chuckled. He already knew how to win her over. "Here's the shirt."

Irene received a paper bag. "But... I'm curious. Why didn't the police do their investigation?"

Jeff exhaled heavily. "You haven't read the file? I told you that the target is a powerful person."

"Ah!" Irene snapped her fingers. "Alex Matthew?"

"Yes, he is. Hurry up and change your clothes!"

"Ugh!" Irene complained as Jeff squeezed his ass.

Irene's performance became even more spectacular. Since it was still lion's day, she didn't wear a sparkly dress. He wore a tight pink and white sports dress that molded his sculptural curves, leaving half of his chest exposed.

The reason Irene hates suddenness is because she has to mentally prepare for two things: reading unwanted memories and acting like a stupid bitch dealing with perverts.

Argh! That's annoying. Especially if Irene wasn't tempted, it felt very uncomfortable to do it just for the sake of information. But as long as it was overpaid. It wouldn't be a problem. Roughly speaking, Irene would do anything for money.

Irene carried a tray with several bottles of drinks and two glasses to a sofa. "Please enjoy yourself, gentlemen."

Irene's arrival interrupted Alex and Steve's conversation. Both of them stared at the woman without blinking, scanning her from her long, wavy blonde hair to her toes. Everything was captivating.

Blonde.

Celine's image suddenly crept into Alex's mind, her blonde curls bouncing gracefully every time she threw her head back in laughter. Damn! Alex had not only given her his heart but also his life and now here he was, vowing not to think about her but doing just that after much discussion with Steve.

It just so happened that Steve was leaving Alex alone as he was going to the toilet.

"Yes, this is the Narcotic Unit," answered Danni-one of the police officers at the other end of the line. She was listening to information from across the room amidst the meeting. "Okay, we'll be right there."

"Mr. Commandant, we have to go!" he said, closing the call.

Even the whole team had understood the directive. They all followed quickly to the location that was sent.

The seven drug unit teams had arrived at a swimming gym. There was also a unit under the Criminal Investigation Unit that was taking samples and related matters.

A dead person lying on the edge of the swimming pool, covered with a sheet. Danni opened that. He saw the body lying very close to the edge of the pool.

"Is there something strange about the late Mr. Ben?" Dani asked the pool attendant. "Did he teach swimming today?"

"Yes, he always taught with enthusiasm. But lately, he seems weak, like a dehydrated person who keeps drinking. But I don't think that's normal. She also drank the pool water."

"What?!" Danni and The Commandant were shocked.
