Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 36: Confrontation

Sebastian’s POV

When I read the text message Michelle showed me from her phone I couldn’t control my anger, my body was shaking as if I wanted to punch someone. I saw Stella hold me to calm me down but it wasn’t enough to calm me down so I decided to get up and head to the restroom, I didn’t want them to feel the anger I was feeling. When I got inside the restroom I immediately punched the wall of the restroom and took a deep breath, and then went to the washing area and looked in the mirror, I decided to wash my face to calm myself, after I washed I saw my reflection. I could feel my breathing; I was just looking in the mirror while staring at myself. I held on to my face until I cried completely, not because I felt sorry for myself but because I could do nothing for Louis, I am his brother but I feel like I did nothing to protect him from dad, and now we don’t know if where is he, I took another deep breath and closed my eyes after I closed my eyes I suddenly thought that the person who messaged Michelle was probably working in the company because he seemed to know my family so I thought of hiring a private investigator to investigate that person.

After I woke up, I left the restroom and went back to Michelle’s table. When I got to the table I noticed Michelle was surprised to see me and it looked like Stella and her are talking about something else. I asked what they were talking about but Stella responded and said that what they were talking about was not really important so I didn’t force myself to ask them. I went back to my seat and we discussed that we needed to hire a private investigator which in turn surprised me because Michelle seemed to object to what I said for unknown reasons.

"Maybe Louis is at the Maximo hotel," Michelle said after we talked about hiring a private investigator.

"Is that where you often meet Louis?" Stella asked.

"Yes, this place we often meet because very few people book at this hotel, and not too much traffic," Michelle replied.

"All right, then let’s try to go there, and maybe Louis is there," I replied.

"Okay," Michelle agreed.

"I’ll pay for your coffee, let’s go," I said.

"Thank you. Let’s just meet at the place, "said Michelle.

We got up and left the coffee shop after I paid. Michelle got in her car while Stella and I got in my car. While I’m driving I noticed Stella was quiet as if she was deep in thought.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?" I asked with concern.

"Yes, I am okay," Stella replied.

"It looks like you thinking so deep," I said.

"Oh, sorry, sweetheart... um... I’m just nervous about where we’re going," Stella said.

"Why are you nervous, we’ll just see if Louis is there, you don’t have to worry," I said to Stella.

"Yea, I know. I hope Louis is there so that Michelle and you won’t have to worry about him anymore. "

"Hopefully, I’m really worried about Louis."

"Do you think your dad worried about Louis as well if he knows what happened to him?"

"Um... I don’t know after I saw how they fought... I can’t say... and I also don’t know if he already knew Louis was missing, because if he already knew, he must have called me already. "

"So, does that mean your dad didn’t know Louis was missing?" Stella asked.

"Probably."

"Are you planning to tell him about this?"

"Yes, of course, when we don’t see Louis at the Maximo hotel then I’ll tell dad, he has the right to know about what’s going on to Louis even they are not on good terms."

"Don’t worry, they’ll get along well."

"I hope so."

A few minutes passed and we arrived at the Maximo hotel. We got out of Stella’s car, Michelle followed right away so we didn’t have to wait for her. We walked towards the hotel and we immediately saw a guard so we stopped and talked to him, seems like the guard know Michelle already because he smiled and waved at her.

"Hi, ma’am Michelle. How are you? you haven’t been here for a long time. It looks like you have friends with you, " said the guard.

"Yea, he’s Louis’s brother and his girlfriend is with him," Michelle replied.

"Okay. Hello ma’am/sir, I am Larry the guard at this hotel, " said the guard.

"Hello, Larry, nice meeting you, I am Stella by the way," Stella said while I just shook hands with the guard.

"Larry, is Louis here?" Michelle asked and the guard looked surprised.

"Sir Louis? He didn’t come here, ma’am, I thought you were together that’s why I’m surprised because you are always together every time you go here," the guard said.

"No... we’re not together because we’re looking for him now, he didn’t say anything to me or even to his brother so I’m speculating that maybe he’s just here at the hotel."

"Is that so ma’am, I’m sorry ma’am but Sir Louis didn’t come here. Don’t worry ma’am when Sir Louis comes here, I’ll let you know right away. "

"All right, thanks Larry, we’re now leaving then," Michelle said.

We said goodbye to the guard and left the parking area of ​​the vehicle. We all just stood there and no one wanted to talk. A few minutes later I heard Stella speak.

"Guys, I know all of you having a hard time with the situation of finding Louis but I hope we don’t lose hope," said Stella who looked at us.

Michelle approached Stella and hugged her. "Thank you Stella for encouraging us. But I think we need Mr. Miller’s help. We need to tell about Louis’s disappearance. "

"I know, Michelle. Don’t worry, I will go to dad today, I will talk to him regarding this."

"Thank you, Sebastian. I think I need to go home, I am not feeling good, "said Michelle.

"All right, go could go home now, Michelle, take some rest, Stella and I will take care of it. Be careful when you go home.

"Thanks, be careful too. Just call me Sebastian if you have any information about Louis. "

"All right, I’ll call you once I find any information about Louis."

"Thank you. Bye Sebastian... bye Stella. "

When Michelle left, Stella and I decided to leave. We were quiet on our trip when I thought of taking Stella home to the condo before I went straight to dad.

"Stella, I will take you to the condo first," I said.

"Why? I can come with you. I promise I will behave; I won’t mess with your conversation with your dad. "

"I know but I think, it’s better for you to go back to the condo first and that’s better because you can watch Sebby, maybe Carla was bored in the condo already."

"But Seb -"

"Please, Stella, just listen to me first. I’m not in a good mood right now to argue because of a small thing, after I talk with dad I’ll go home right away, okay? "

Stella looked up and just nodded at me. In a few moments, I dropped off Stella at the condo, and then I went straight to dad’s place. I tried calling dad but he didn’t answer my call so I had no choice but to go straight to his place. When I arrived I noticed a familiar car, if I’m not mistaken it was Edward’s car, I wondered why he was at dad’s house. I parked the car and walked inside dad’s house. When I entered the house I immediately saw Edward and dad talking and drinking alcohol. They noticed me immediately so I approached them.

"Hey, Sebastian. How are you?" Edward greeted me warmly.

"I’m good... I didn’t know that you and dad would meet today?" I asked Edward.

"Oh, really? I thought uncle told you that I am going today, " Edward replied.

Suddenly I looked at dad who immediately turned his gaze away from me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked Edward.

"I got a business proposal from a client. So, I told to your dad about it and he was happy so he offered me to drink some alcohol," Edward explained.

"Oh, I see," I replied while looking at dad.

"Is uncle going to talk to you right now? I can leave, if it’s important. I’ll just come back the next day, "said Edward.

"Yes, we are going to talk, right dad?" I said seriously.

Dad looked at me and turned to Edward, "Yes, Sebastian and I have something important to talk about, Edward."

"Okay, no problem. I have to go now then, "Edward said.

After Edward left, I approached the table and took a glass then poured some alcohol as well then I looked at dad seriously.
