A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 110

ALEXANDER

Raina was missing.

I could barely focus when I saw Dominic’s name flashing on my phone screen. The panic in his voice made my blood run cold. I’d been seconds away from leaving the office for the night, but now all I could think about was where she was. I heard Dominic’s voice crack as he said it: “She’s not at her office. She’s not at her apartment. I’ve checked everywhere.”

“Where is she?” I demanded, my voice hoarse with tension. My heart slammed against my ribs, threatening to break free.

“I don’t know, Alex,” Dominic’s voice was desperate. “I’ve looked everywhere. I don’t know where she is. I should’ve been there for her. I was too upset—too... I don’t know—she probably feels like I’m mad at her. I’ve messed up.”

I took a deep breath, pushing my panic aside. Dominic sounded like he was falling apart, and I couldn’t let that happen. Not when Raina’s safety was hanging in the balance.

“Dominic, calm down,” I uttered, trying to keep my voice steady. The words felt useless even as they left my mouth, but I had to say something. I could hear the panic rising in his tone. “We’ll figure this out. Just take a deep breath.”

“How am I supposed to calm down?” Dominic snapped back, his voice suddenly loud, frantic. “I don’t know where she is! She’s not answering her phone, Alex—she’s gone, and I don’t know where she’s gone!”

I could feel the panic rising in my own chest now, gnawing at me, threatening to take over. “Listen to me,” I mouthed, keeping my voice calm even as everything inside me screamed. “We’re going to find her. We don’t know what’s going on yet. Don’t jump to conclusions.” I could feel my own hands trembling, but I kept my grip tight on the phone, trying to hold onto some kind of control. “Just stay with me, Dominic. We’ll figure this out.”

But he didn’t hear me. The call ended abruptly.

I stood there, staring at my phone. I couldn’t breathe. What if Nathan had finally found out we were onto him? What if he’d taken her? My mind raced, images flashing before my eyes, none of them good. I couldn't wait any longer. I had to find her, and I had to do it now.
