Chapter 146 Matthew Is Missing
- He didn't want to believe Matthew had left, without congratulating him, without a kiss, he didn't even wait for the ceremony to be over. Was it work? Was there an emergency? He left without any of his men. How is that even possible? Maybe he was still in the toilets. Maybe he's locked himself in. His mind went over a million and one scenarios as he ran, sprinted even, the sounds of his heels echoing in the empty halls, eyes scanning every corner and by the time he reached the men's rooms he had started walking faster than a normal human being can walk, his steps were heavy and fast. As soon as he reached the men's room he slammed the door open, startling the poor guy inside, who looked shocked at Alexander's sudden entrance but Alexander didn't seem bothered by his hateful questioning glares rather he pushed past him, running straight for the stalls and yelling for him.
- "Baby, you in here?" He would ask with each stall he invaded. His lungs burned from lack of oxygen but he ignored it as tears blurred his vision. Matthew was nowhere. The only faces he saw were of other men doing their business and yelling cuss words when he would force their doors open or try to look under the stall. The more time passed the more hopeless he felt and the more desperate he got to locate Matthew. Since Allison's kidnapping, he has had problems looking for any of them, if they were to do as little as wandering off without informing him, he would lose his mind. He knew that they would be fine, they always turn up somehow... someplace but knowing this wasn't helping and neither were the anxiety attacks or the constant headaches he gets during. Alexander knew it was going to take all his strength and effort just to keep his sanity together until he saw Matthew. When he reached the end of the stall and still no sign of him, he dug into his pocket and pulled out his phone once again, dialing Mattew's number but just as it has done the last one hundred times, it went straight to voicemail.
- Once again Alexander left him a message. "Where are you?! Please pick up! Call me back! I'm starting to be very worried here..." He kept repeating himself but eventually gave up. Sighing he put his phone back inside his pocket and began pacing the bathroom. Just as he walked back to the entrance, he collided with Easton's broad shoulder, nearly knocking him over, the latter yelping a little bit before steadying Alexander.
