Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Homicide Without A Corpse

Rhett stood there for several minutes, staring blankly at the door while several thoughts flashed through his head.

He wanted to go after her. He wanted to force her to reveal what was really bothering her while looking into his eyes. But then, he had to let her go.

He couldn’t force anything. It was obvious that she’d begun succumbing to all the pent-up sadness and despair she’d been hiding all this while. If she wanted space, he’d give it to her. But why did he feel so pained?

The usual control he had over his emotions faltered at that moment, allowing a wave of overwhelming frustration to wash over him. He gripped his chest, his heart feeling like a heavy weight bringing him down.

He struggled to catch his breath, as he made to sit on one of the beds.

Argh! What was this he felt? Was this how it felt to get one’s heart broken? Was this the feeling he heard young people talk about?

It felt like his heart had been shattered into a million tiny pieces. It felt like his whole world had come crashing down. But it wasn’t like he’d been dumped by Isleen or anything.

Isleen had regretted what they’d done. Even after he’d marked her, even after he’d tried showing that he was willing to take their relationship further, even after he’d let himself feel vulnerable around her... she still chose to break his heart by avoiding him like a plague after they had a night of pleasure. freewebnøvel_com

"Moon goddess, please make this pass." Rhett prayed silently, gritting his teeth. He brushed his hands through his hair, his frustration only increasing.

Just then, his phone rang, but he barely paid any attention. But when he heard it ring again, he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

Oh well... this might just be the perfect distraction.

"Hello?" Rhett picked up the call, after checking and seeing that it was Farkas. He did his best to make his voice as stoic as possible—not wanting Farkas to worry about his emotional state.

"Rhett, there’s a case that needs your attention here." Farkas’s tone at the other end was laced with solemnity, and more serious than usual.

Rhett couldn’t help frowning. A case that needed his attention? Could that mean...

"There’s been another murder. And let’s just say, this one has us scratching our heads." Farkas supplied, confirming Rhett’s suspicions.

He knew the murderous vampire wouldn’t resist killing someone again. But it also felt a little too sudden. As if he wasn’t cautious about being caught anymore.

"Alright, send me the address. I’ll be on my way." Rhett uttered as he got up. This was no time for him to sit down lazily, like some defeated dog.

He’d deal with his situation with Isleen later. Right now, duty called and he needed a distraction from the annoying feeling he felt in his chest.

He freshened up quickly in his room’s bathroom, his worries washing away for a moment under the warm water of the shower. When he got out, he checked his phone and saw the address sent to his message box as he’d requested.

He quickly got dressed and rushed out of the hotel, driving off to the address.
