Chapter 41 - Where Is Alex?

When Alex arrived near the two lovebirds, Christopher took the opportunity to chat with her a bit, after all, she was his girlfriend's best friend. And seeing the way his dear friend was looking at her, he could immediately deduce from the twinkle in Eliott's eyes that she was the one who would soon become the centre of his life, in other words, the mistress of Royal Corp.

"So Alex! We have not seen each other very much since the last time we were at the airport. I must say you look beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, you have very good taste, both you and Eliott. I must say I like those dresses, especially Fidelia's," Alex teased Christ. She found him quite entertaining and friendly with his perfect white smile.

"You are welcome!!! We did our best to find those dresses for you!" He smiled, proud of his accomplishment. "Do you like this kind of festivities?"

"I am not a fan of it, but I have been to many parties like this, due to my work, I am sometimes forced to attend such events."

"I also attend because my work forces me to be here and socialise with all these people...."

"But of course, it's really because of your work and not because it allows you to flirt with girls... " Fidelia smirked as she drank her wine.

Christopher did not even know how to respond to that, but to his discharge, he never flirts with them, it's the women who flirt with him! But of course, he would not risk saying that in front of Fidelia. 

All three of them laughed at that remark. They talked for a while longer when Alex was overcome with a bit of nausea. She decided to go out on the balcony to get some air, since she was being crushed by all the people at the party. Fidelia wanted to accompany her, but Alex didn't want to spoil her friend's fun with her boyfriend, so she asked Fidelia to stay and assured her that she was fine.

The balcony offered a magnificent view of the city. Alex was admiring the lights dancing in front of her like garlands decorating a Christmas tree when suddenly she didn't feel well. Her vision suddenly blurred and she could not stand properly, her heart began to beat fast and her instincts immediately told her to return to the room. Unfortunately, before she even took a step towards the door, she was grabbed by two men. She tried to fight back, but she lost consciousness very quickly as she could not stand the touch of these men.

Not far away, in a room of the hotel, you heard two devious voices.

"Brother, it is done, she will be here in a minute. Don't forget to take pictures when you are done. Once those pictures are released, Royalstar will not want a whore like her in their company and her life will be over. I want her to regret coming here as soon as possible. That's the price she pays for strutting around with my Ethan!"

"You are too dark, Kylie... But that's fine with me because if she loses everything, I'll make her my sex slave! I am getting hard just thinking about her, pressing herself under me. I can't wait anymore, where is she? Growled Kevin with a perverted smile.

"That disgusting brother! I don't care how you are going to take her!" She scoffed at her lustful brother's words! "Be patient, they'll be here in a minute. They have to use the stairs to get around the security cameras. And there are eight floors between this room and the party. I will go upstairs before people notice my absence. I am counting on you, brother!"

A few minutes after Alex left for the terrace, Ethan joined Christ and Fidelia, he had finally gotten rid of all the people who were talking with him nonstop asking him to work with them. Since he had not seen Alex with them, he curiously asked Fidelia where she was. She told him that she had gone out on the patio to get some air. So Ethan didn't waste a second and went out on the terrace to ask his date, who he had left alone until now, to do a little dance.

To his surprise, the terrace was empty, there was no sign of Alex. Immediately, a strange feeling came over him. His concern increased when he found the necklace she was wearing broken in a corner of the terrace. 

Realising that something was wrong, he discreetly called Christ on the terrace, who joined him without wasting a second.

"What's the matter?"

"She's not here and I find her necklace there?" Ethan features had already gone cold, making him look even more like his real self. 

"For fuck's sake! I saw her go out on the patio. Sorry, bro, I didn't pay much attention to her because I did not think anyone would dare do something like that here! Do not worry! We will find her quickly." Christ was worried and felt a little guilty. He knew that anything could happen at such a party, but still, he thought that no one would dare to do dirty business here. After all, it was one of the Royal Hotel and they were known to have the best security management. And when he saw the scowl on Ethan's face, he feared Eliott would rip the mask off his face in front of everyone.

"Don't be sorry, it's my fault too, I was busy talking to those vultures, I did not even know she was missing! First of all, there's only one other way in here, and that's by taking the stairs. Look at the security cameras and tell me what you find! I'll go back in, you take the stairs so people won't get suspicious!" 

Christopher rushed to the hotel's security while Eliott found his sister in the reception hall, joined by Fidelia at this point, who sensed something was wrong since Alex was not back with Ethan.

"I can't find Alex; can you tell me who is missing from the guests?" Eliott asked Leila, who knew most of the people in the room. He was still calm, not showing how nervous he actually was.

"Wait, what? Missing? Who has the balls to do something like that in our hotel and in front of me?" Leila was really angry and it did not take long for her to search the room and find the missing.

"A dead man!" growled Eliott as his phone rang.

"She's been taken by two guys, she seems to be unconscious... I am checking every floor to find out where they took her! But the security officer just told me that the camera was being replaced on certain floors, so they might have booked a room on one of those floors!" Christ told Ethan the problematic floor and began looking at the security cameras on each floor while asking the security manager to monitor where the elevator coming from the party had stopped.

Leila looked around cautiously, trying to remember who was invited and who she actually saw coming, "There are a lot of people who are not here! Some people have already left too! Wait... I cannot find Kevin Allen! He was here earlier!"

"He was looking at Alex with vicious and lustful eyes when he greeted us earlier. I hope nothing happened to her." Fidelia was already worried sick, her eyes almost filled with tears.

"Find out where that damn bastard is!" Eliott shouted as he walked back to the terrace, he could not hold back his anger any more! Good thing they were alone on the terrace because he was already ripping off his Ethan's mask. 

"Damn... That fucker took the stairs too, but his sister seems to have gone to the tenth floor! The security cameras on that floor are being replaced right now!"

"I'll join you there!.. That bastard will regret it for the rest of his life if he even touches one of her hairs!" 

"Be discreet and do not let the media know about this. Find her quickly, please. Fidelia will stay on the terrace to confuse people before they come looking for you." Leila knew her brother was already pissed, but was trying his best to remain as calm as possible.

"I know, take care of things here!" He instructed her sister before disappearing down the stairs.
