   Julius's POV

"She just went inside boss"
One of my men informed me from the other end of the phone

"Okay.
Just stay at your posts and keep me updated"

"Yes boss"

I had installed security to keep a close eye on Vera.
It's been easier ,seeing as she spends most of her time in the garden within my men's reach and eye range.

Yes it may be creepy but I couldn't risk it.
They may plan to ambush home while I'm at work ,although their attack will be futile. My house was built like a fortress but still, I couldn't take any risks.
I couldn't risk her.

I found it very difficult to do basically anything when I remembered I had kissed Vera last night under the influence.
I wasn't heavily drunk,I remembered small pieces, but the kiss was the part I couldn't forget.

I had no idea what she thought about me now.
It would be so awkward now.

I was stressing over it and not paying attention to work matters; why Cyrus decided to stay home yet again.

He has been doing it alot lately and I'v been suspicious of him.
What I was suspicious of him about I had no idea. I just had this feeling something was not right.

A few hours had passed and I was finally able to sign papers for our goods departure and review some other documents.
I decided to check up on the guards.
Non of them were meant to enter the house but one. He was my head of security ,Lionel.

"Lionel.
How is everything going?
Where's Vera now?"

The other end was silent for a while before I heard a shuffling noise

"Boss.
There's a big problem"

I stood up remotely, my heart thumping in my chest with anticipation.

"What problem Lionel?"

"Vera has been kidnapped"
My heart sank.

"Are you sure!
Check everywhere!
Hell!!
Check her room if you have to!"

"Boss.
Mrs Juliette and I have checked the whole house but she isn't here and the living room is a mess"

My blood was boiling as my mind went through different experiences she could be going through right now

"How the fuck did this happen!
Your units were all standing guard so how the fuck was she kidnapped and non of your morons noticed!"

"Sorry Boss.
There was just no mischievous or odd activity going on."

"What happened in the last fucking hour.
Did anyone leave the house!?"

"Yes boss.
Cyrus left the house about two hours ago"

"Okay!
Send out search cars.
Cover the area.
Vera has to be found!
Half of your men should stay back and watch the house"

"Okay boss"

My mind was racing as I dialed Cyrus's cell
