When Conner woke up the first thing that came onto his mind was to search for Ashlyn. He frowned when she wasn't beside him. He had hoped to wake up today with her in his arms, Or maybe it's because he already started having fantasies of their perfect married life. Him not wanting to go to work and staying by her side snuggling all day.
Although he couldn't understand why he felt like this he just played along with it. The warmth in his heart, he loves it. Thinking she's probably already eating breakfast he got up and headed inside the bathroom. When he entered he saw the toothbrush already wet and his theory was confirmed. She indeed got up first and is eating breakfast downstairs.
He took a shower again and cleaned up for the day. When he came out he saw that the closet looked weird. As if something was taken out of it. He shook his head and left to take some of his clothes.
Once he was in front of the mirror and was putting on his tie he noticed the little note on his nightstand. He frowned and walked over. He then finally realized there was breakfast on the table. How come he didn't notice it or smell it earlier? He wondered.
Once he read the note his eyes widened in surprise. "What is that supposed to mean?" He spoke out loud. He rushed downstairs to look for her but she wasn't anywhere. "Where is she?" He asked the old butler but he only shook his head in response. "Where the hell is she?" He asked again.
"The Young Miss is gone." He replied. Conner cursed under his breath and took out his phone. He wanted to order his men to get her location but the old butler stopped him. "Young Miss is being protected by your grandfather. You won't be able to find her." He informed him.
Conner got himself ready and rushed inside his car. The old butler sighed as he watched him leave.
Inside the car Conner called his grandfather to ask about the situation. "Calm down already." His grandfather ordered him. "Answer me where is she!" He told him desperately. "I'm not sure either." His grandfather responded.
"What do you mean?" He asked. "She'll be everywhere. It might take a month or two. Who knows the Diaz family has always been complicated." His grandfather started explaining.
"She's the heir now. She must settle down now. Apart from that she will start her career. Her mother always hoped for this and she will make sure it happens." He continued. "Why can't I be by her side then? Does she have to be apart from me to do that?" He questioned.
His heart felt like it was being squeezed and ripped out of his chest. 'Is it hard to include me in your life?' He asked in his thoughts. "I can't answer that but if you want her back just be patient with her." He told him.
Conner stopped the car and parked it. He placed his shoulder above his head and cursed. Two months? How is he supposed to handle that? Couldn't she at least wait for him to wake up before leaving?
Conner's grandfather sighed and hung up the call. "Did you find out what happened?" He asked his men. "Sir it was very hard. The Young Miss erased every piece of information about that incident. I'm still not sure how she was able to do that." The man responded. "We were only able to find a few pieces but it will still be hard to figure out." He added.
"Continue searching!" He ordered. He had been doing his best to find out about what happened between them so he could fix it. Nobody knows except for Ashlyn and this girl has accumulated a lot of power during the last three years. While everyone looked at her through different sides she was already scheming.
She was already with a plan in mind. The fact that she waited two years to make everyone believe she was some pathetic mute is astonishing. He knew what she was doing but he stayed quiet because he wanted to know how far she'll go. He didn't expect her to be thinking of divorcing his grandson.
At Least now there is a higher chance that they get back together. Even if he wants her to explain everything herself he knows she won't do that. This is why he has been investigating but he got nothing out of his efforts. For now he can only let her plans unfold.
After his men left he sat down in his chair and sighed. "Thalia your daughter is ten times more complicated than you. What am I supposed to do?" He wondered.
….
At the same time Ashlyn entered the VIP lounge of the airport. Since her uncle is a pilot they would be taking his jet. The best way to get herself prepared is to be with her mom's part of the family. This is why she will meet up with her uncle, aunt, and her twin cousins. Along with them her manager will also be there.
Thinking about her schedule for the following month she became excited. "This is going to be interesting…" She mumbled as she passed the security check.
I'll be updating more later today : )
