Second Chance-In the mist Book 1 novel Chapter 62

As soon as I stepped onto Indonesian soil, I immediately felt myself boiling, and my nerves stretched to the breaking point. It was like I boiled in my own hatred. "Well, what do we do now?" 

"We go find the Majestic Hotel and check in!" I replied, briefly looking at my watch. A few hours to go before the big party. 

"You are crazy, my friend," he whispered, like it was just for him. I did not have the slightest patience. Time seemed to stand absolutely still. 

After checking in, we went to our rooms. The hotel was huge, so I couldn't feel Rebecca. Especially since I hadn't marked her. I was looking forward to it, but also with anger knowing that Rebecca would be in the company of that man. I didn't think she was aware of the harm she was doing to me, nor did that ridiculous cartoon realize how much danger he was in around me. 

It looked like the party was being held in the hotel reception room, but first it was going to be the fashion presentation. So, as soon as I had arranged the last details, I called Declan.

"Are you ready?" I asked him straight out. 

"Yes, I'm ready. I'll be right down" 

As soon as I arrived, it surprised me at how many people were in the place. Some faces were familiar, others didn't ring a bell. But probably most of them were from the fashion world. "How do you expect to see her in this sea of people?" Declan asked as he approached me.

"Even if I didn't mark her, I feel something when she's around, so stop worrying about me. I'll find her."

"Okay, if you say so..."

After shutting my friend up, I took him to the nearby bar and ordered a drink. It didn't take long, and I saw her, the most beautiful of them all, my Rebecca. Before making eye contact with her, I wanted to contemplate the most perfect creature the Mood Goddess created. The body of a deity which I knew like the back of my hand, and I explored every inch of it. I awakened every part of that perfect body to life.

She wore a nude dress that fit her every curve perfectly. Her breathtaking beauty mesmerized me. Her chocolate hair caressed her bare back. Every time she moved, her curls seemed to dance. I felt like I wanted to bury my face in her hair and inhale her full being.

Then again, she wasn't alone. I expected Logan would be here, too, in her company. Watching him with my hawk eyes, I could see him a little too familiar with her. Or was it my imagination?

"You really are paranoid, then. But whatever. Let's at least have a drink while we're at the bar, eh?" For a few moments, I relaxed and ordered two whiskeys on the rocks. It was enough to take my eyes off Rebecca.

"You had to have whiskey? Rebecca's gone!" 

"What do you mean Rebecca's gone?" Declan suddenly looked worried. I wish I had an explanation, but I didn't. She was just by the catwalk and now she wasn't. 

"I mean, she's out of my sight. Let's go!" I nervously urged him because along with her was also missing that rascal, Logan. 

Somehow my footsteps and her scent carried me to the back of the hotel, after I had concentrated hard on finding her. But no one was there. It was dark. 

"Dominic, I don't like this atmosphere at all..." Declan whispered, following me closely.
