AIDEN'S POV:

"Fidel, you've got half an hour to find out about everything that happened with or around Helena yesterday. I need every single detail be it small or big."

"Yes boss."

After ordering to Fidel, I was thinking of the possibilities that might come up to me after Fidel's investigation when my phone rang with Diana's call.

"Yes Diana."

"Well okay I'll be there in a minute."

She had called me to inform about a meeting regarding next collaboration so I rushed towards the meeting hall. My eyes fell upon the chair straight in front of me which was empty.

"Where's Mr. Henry?" Every one shook their head as in they wanted to tell that they have no idea about it. Strange, such a big investor isn't in this important meeting.

Well the meeting started with the presenters starting their ideas and they seemed to be dedicated for the collaboration as well. Just then, I got a call from Fidel which was important than anything to me right now.

"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen. It's an urgent call." I walked out of the hall and received the call.

"Sir, we've got some major information about yesterday night. Madam was drugged on the party."

Damn it! I knew it, I freaking knew it. All I want to know right now is the person behind it, I swear I'll make sure he or she doesn't live a good life ahead.

"Who's behind it?" I could feel my nerves popping out as my body was extremely hot with blood rushing out and around every cells.

"It's... it's Mr. Henry Mathew."

"What did you say?"

"It's Henry Mathew who's behind everything. We inquired the waiter that served her drink and he spilled out his name. I couldn't believe upon his words so I started digging up about him and his actions. It was hard as he had kept everything secretive. But then I got to know about someone who was behind him since ages. Here, he wants to have a word with you."

I didn't know who it was but I was curious to know the person and the motive of him getting behind the bloody Henry Mathew.

"Hello Mr. Aiden." That was a deep hoarse sound coming from the next side. He started talking, explaining every thing. And with every word he was speaking, my heart was having mixed emotions rising in it.

I was as angry as hot lava which could gulp that bastard down as soon as he comes in front of my vision, I was also scared at the same time. He was close with us all these times when we shouldn't have. And he even tried to drug her with such drug which sexually intrigued her! She's not safe around that scum and I need to make sure she stays safe until we get him.

After discussing everything, I ended the call with him and dialled Helena's number but to my surprise, her number was not reachable. She was supposed to rest at home today, what wrong with her phone? Even after trying for numerous of times, I couldn't get in contact to her.

"Mom, where's Heli? Why's her phone not reachable?" As soon as mom picked up my call on second ring I bombarded questions in front of her. Thankfully she's at home today or else I'd have gone insane for sure.

"It's been half an hour since she left for the office. Didn't she reach to you?"

I felt my heart turning heavier, my fear was overpowering my brain.

"No she didn't, she was not supposed to come for office today." I almost screamed at her over the phone.

"What are you talking about, she was looking scared and worried so I thought some emergency called up at the office. She left telling me that she'll come back as soon as she finishes her work."

"I'll call you later."

I dialled Helena's secret bodyguards's number but none was picking up the call. God damn!

"Fidel! Helena's missing and her bodyguards are out of reach as well. What the hell is going on? Why aren't they picking up my call?"

"I'll.. I'll checked up on them sir."

While he started his work, I just couldn't sit still and just wait. Her ring, yeah right. I need to track her down with the help of her ring.

"What's the matter Aiden, what took you so long? Everyone is waiting for you in the meeting hall." I turned out to see Diana walking towards me.

"Diana, there's something urgent I need to sort out. You please end the meeting soon and come to me, I might need your help as well." She seemed to understand my panic so she left without a word more. I rushed back to my cabin and turned on the tracking system. The last location showed by the tracker was the dense forest behind the city.

"Fidel, check upon the forest behind the city. I'm coming there in few minutes." I was about to cut the call while getting my car keys but his words stopped me.

"Sir I'm already in the forest, in front of lifeless bodies of those bodyguards assigned after madam."

"I'm coming there. Find out about her right away." I don't know how did I do that, but after almost hitting five cars in a row, I reached to the forest within fifteen minutes.

"Sir, there's nothing here in the forest. We've tried searching for every clue but.... dead end."

"Shut up! If you dare to speak anything before finding about her, you'll not be able to speak again for whole lifetime. GET BACK TO WORK, NOW!" As Fidel and his men started checking around, I was trying to think of a way to get to know about her. That's when my eyes fell upon some thing.

The ring I gifted to her was on the floor, broken. "Ahhhhhh!" Helpless with the fact that she's in danger, I screamed out to release my stress. That's when a voice came from behind.

"I think I might know where she is."
