Mark POV:
"There's no way I'm going to The Santiago masquerade today without Zuri" I get up pouring myself my 5th glass of whiskey for the day .
We haven't found Zuri and honestly my threats aren't getting me anywhere its Friday now and she has been missing since Wednesday.
"Mark I'll stay behind go with Alex , Blake and Xavier as planned I'll find her " Seb says trying to assure me but nothing is going to assure me until I see Zuri right here in front of me
"Its still a n-" I get cut off by a knock at the door
"Come in" I look towards Seb then back to the door
"Sir w-"
"Hi Mark" her sweet innocent voice is heard behind the 6ft man
"Stephan move" I whisper out and he does . Behind him Zuri stands with her head hang low and I rush up to her
"Oh my gosh Zuri ...baby I'm so sorry please forgive me I should-" I say picking her up but she cuts me off
"Mark its okay it's not your fault" she giggles wrapping her arms around my neck .
"Are you okay" I put her down grabbing each side of her face checking if she's fine
"I'm okay" she whispers
"Hey Seb" she rushes over to him
"How are you, love" he grins embracing her into a hug and I glare at him
"Well as you can see" she does a 360 turn and stops putting her hands on her hips
"I'm perfectly fine " she smiles looking between us
I look at Seb and he nods excusing himself out of the room
"Zuri I know you hate me and that I'm probably the last person you want to see right now and I just want to say I'm sorry ...I uhm have this very important function that I have to go to today" I put my hands in my pocket . Looking anywhere but at her
"I was wondering if you'd uhm please accompany me" I look at her just to find she's already staring at me
"I would love too but on one condition" she sighs sitting on my arm chair
"Anything princess" I lean onto my closet door watching her
"I-look I need to tell you somethin-"
Stephan barges into the room and I glare at him before he speaks
"Uhm sorry sir but the little boy ....Amir's kid is gone" he says almost breathless .
"What" I growl out as I clench my jaw
"Sir I-"
"Get out " I sigh turning my gaze back to Zuri and he nods leaving the room
"Zuri I'm so sorry but can we finish this conversation" I look at the time on my watch "- in 3 hours and we'll talk on the way to the ball I just need to fix some things" I open the door for her to leave and she nods getting up
"Uhm yeah sure we'll talk later" she smiles looking up at me and I can't help but to smile back
I was about to reach in to kiss her but I just closed the door instead . I mean shit was I supposed to. Opening it again I see she's no longer there and I sigh walking towards my closet . Picking out a black dress shirt and wearing the ring that I usually brand people with . I switch off my lights and I go towards the cells
Zuri POV:
Panicking is an understatement right now I don't know what to do . I mean I want to tell him but I can't....I honestly can't and its eating away at me . Oh god I'm gon- rushing to the toilet I start throwing up . Wiping the side of my mouth I get up to go towards my drawers . Fiddling around my hand stops at the touch of something I wish I didn't have to think about
