[Meanwhile – Conan POV] Are you comfortable?” I ask her, she is sitting in the car pouting. “Can you just drive and not make small talks,” she snaps making me sigh, ugh… come on why is she still angry about this. [Flashback] “So, I heard Zoey’s parents are returning tomorrow,” Taryn asks me, we were watching a movie, after putting Zoey to sleep. “Yeah, Clayton would never move away from the company for that long,” I reply. “Hope they enjoyed their honeymoon,” she says. "There haven't been any paparazzi photos," I say, "so they probably did." “Um Conan, can we try something.” I look at her anxious eyes, it seems to be something very embarrassing. “Is it another how many girls I have kissed question?” I teased her with a smug. “Well, not quite, just promise to not laugh, and you don’t have to do it if you don’t want." “Okay, you are scaring me and exciting at the same time, what is it? Do you want me to help you hide Mike’s body?” she rolls her eyes. “No, it is quite embarr
[Conan POV] It has been about two months since I talked to Taryn, and it has been torture, like I think I should try the whole dating thing. She comes once in a while to the house to take care of Zoey, but I have been too busy helping Kaleah and Cyan set up their art store. “What are you doing here?” “Well, I am helping your wife…...” “Stop lying Conan.” I sigh, caught in a lie with Clayton Beckett, and possibly the reader, fine I wasn’t busy when she came, I just wasn’t in the house ‘accidentally’. “Just talk to her and stop running away, ugh…. Being in a relationship is not that bad you know.” Clayton the love fool says making me roll my eyes. “I am leaving, you are no help.” I stand up to leave. "Just talk to her already, you are being insufferable," he yells and I cover my ears walking out. I know this is not the best decision, being in a dry spell and all because I can’t admit my feelings, but it is working for me. I decided to go out with my friends tonight, we had ch
[Clayton POV] Waking up early has been my least favorite thing in the world, how dare that paper work take me away from the warmth of my gorgeous wife? “Stop groaning you are the one who set up your schedule,” Kaleah scolds me. “I just wanted to get it over with so I can come home to my family,” I grumble getting out of bed. Kaleah goes back to sleep as I get ready for work. I had taken a shower and changed before going downstairs to make Zoey’s milk, something I was proud of as a father. I had moved to give both my beautiful wife and daughter a kiss on the forehead, a ritual I have done in all the two months of our marriage. I am always the first in the office, usually Cain comes half an hour late but he seems to be earlier than me. “You are here early,” I teased him. “Oh… Mr. Spencer called me early this morning to change a few things in the project,” Cain says, making me angry, it seems Mr. Spencer had forgotten who the parent company was here. “So, he interrupts my honeym
[Clayton POV] We called the police as soon as we arrived home and they went and examined the car, and I called Conan who returned later with Taryn. “So, what is the plan?” Conan asks. “I don’t know, the police will look for the CCTV footage of the parking lot tomorrow morning and we will take it from there,” I say sounding deflated. “Do you have a clue who could it be?” Who would want to hurt my wife, her father, her ex, maybe Hailee. “I have a few, but I doubt they would do that after the punishment I gave them,” I say. Maybe one of my enemies, but my enemies are only business men, could they have kidnapped my wife. “You can never know, we should never leave any stones unturned Clayton,” Conan says, “come on let us visit everyone one by one to see if they really did take her." We first visited her father, who based on his pitiful situation didn’t seem to know. “You ruined my life what makes you think I would kidnap your wife?” he shouts, “I don’t know where she is okay.” “Y
