Chapter 3 Disappearing Into Thin Air

In the tall Monaghan Building…

The president’s office on the 66th floor was dead silent. The atmosphere there was so tense that it could make people suffocate.

“Do you mean you haven’t found anything after all these times?” Radley looked up at his assistant as he questioned. His tone and gaze were calm, but he was still terrifying somehow.

“Yes, Mr. Monaghan. It was… It was as if Madam had disappeared into thin air.” The assistant didn’t even dare to speak at his usual volume. He was so nervous that he sweated as he spoke.

Disappeared into thin air?

“How can a person disappear into thin air?” Radley asked, narrowing his eyes.

The assistant dared not reply. At that time, he found himself in the most helpless situation throughout his working years. He had been unable to find any information about Freya despite searching for years.

“Keep looking,” Radley ordered in a deep tone as he was feeling increasingly impatient, and the assistant wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead before he left.

On the other hand, Radley was annoyed by the news. He tugged at his tie, picked up his suit jacket, and went home.

It was just as quiet as his office in the villa. Radley vaguely remembered that the warm yellow lights would always be on in the living room whenever he returned home while a beautiful and obedient woman would be resting on the couch, waiting for him.

However, it was pitch black now.

Radley reached out and switched on the lights. He felt uneasy as the light suddenly brightened up the room, and he closed his eyes. Then, he opened his eyes and glanced at the empty room.

No one would be there waiting for him anymore… No one would be taking off his coat and preparing a table full of food.

At that moment, he pressed his hand against his heart, and that was the first time he felt such coldness in his home.

…

Meanwhile, Freya felt like she was going to bore herself to death after recuperating at home for almost half a month especially when everything she needed would be prepared and handed to her nicely.

On the other hand, Braxton had already done cleaning up. Even he couldn’t bear to see her in such a state at that time. “Why don’t you go out and have some fun?”

Freya’s eyes immediately lit up, and she made a phone call to her best friend.

Isabella Parker was surprised when she received her call. “Why did you suddenly decide to call me?”

At that moment, Freya was sitting on the rocking chair in her own garden with her feet up, soaking up the sun. “I’m calling you to hang out and have fun,” she said.

However, Isabella found it even stranger. They had been keeping in touch over the past two years, but Freya had never taken the initiative to ask her out. Her excuse would always be she wanted to stay home and cook for Radley, and she wouldn’t stop talking about him in front of Isabella.

It was driving Isabella insane.

Then, Isabella tentatively asked, “Well, where do you want to go? A bar?”

To her surprise, Freya replied without any hesitation, “Sure.”

Inside the bar, there were colorful lights flashing relentlessly.

Isabella was waiting for Freya at the entrance, and an eye-catching sports car pulled up in front of her before long. Then, a woman in black high-heels got out of the car. She lowered her sunglasses with her finger and smiled when she saw Isabella. “There you are.”

Isabella was stunned.

What was wrong with Freya today?

Wasn’t she supposed to be a dutiful wife for Radley? Yet, she was properly dressed and she looked so confident and sexy today.

“You really came out today. What about your…” Isabella couldn’t finish her sentence.

Freya shrugged as she interrupted, “My what? My brother allows me to hang out, alright. Oh, so, I want to tell you that I had a car accident that damaged my brain, and I lost two years of memories.”

“What?”

Isabella’s eyes widened as she couldn’t believe what she had heard.

No wonder.

However, she suddenly felt it was a blessing rather than a tragedy for Freya. This was a perfect opportunity for Freya to forget that sc*mbag, Radley.

It was a good thing indeed!

Isabella immediately hugged Freya by her shoulder and almost celebrated out of joy. “Let’s go, I’m really in the mood today. Let’s have some fun!”

The drum set on the stage was empty when they walked into the bar, so it was very quiet inside.

“Do you want to show what you can do?” Isabella raised her eyebrows and looked at Freya before saying, “I’ll go dance instead.”

Isabella paused for a moment before leaving. “Do you still remember how to play it?”

Then, Freya smiled as she cracked her knuckles. “Watch this.”

At that moment, Radley happened to see that scene when he stepped into the bar.

Freya, who was on the stage, had a wild and carefree look. Her thick black hair that swung with her movements along with the sunglasses on her head made her appear even more gorgeous.

She skillfully played the drum set in front of her with her red lips curled up. She exuded a proud and confident energy all over at that moment.

Radley immediately stopped when he noticed Freya.

The people next to him saw his expression turn ugly and followed his gaze. They were shocked by what they saw as well. “Oh my, isn’t that Mrs. Monaghan?”

At that time, Radley’s eyes were as dark as night. They were completely black like spilled ink. He had been looking for Freya for several days, and it was as if she had disappeared into thin air.

He never expected to see her in a place like this!
