He spun around and kicked his bodyguard in the gut . " Where is Elise ?! Didn't I tell you to get her out ?! " The bodyguard hunched over , voice trembling . " S - Sir , we ... we don't know what happened . She just vanished . The firefighters said they didn't find a body . " " We tried to report to you , but the signal kept cutting out . " " And before you left , you told us not to disturb you and the Miss Hawthornes ... So we waited , thinking we'd tell you when you came back . " Just then , a mailman called from outside the door . " Mr. Langley ! You've got a letter ! " The bodyguard practically sprinted to the door like it was salvation , then returned and handed the envelope to Travis with both hands . Travis tore it open with a cold , impatient glare - Only to find divorce papers . His fingers trembled uncontrollably . He muttered to himself , " I forgot ... I never went to cancel it ... Elise must've seen it . She must be heartbroken . " Then he quickly tried to reassure himself , " It's fine . I'll find her , explain everything , and we'll remarry . Easy . " He gave the ruins one last glance and walked back upstairs . But the moment he stepped into the bedroom , he froze again . Everything - everything that had belonged to Elise - was gone . The bed had been replaced with a pink princess canopy . The curtains were pastel . Even the rug was new . Travis's expression twisted into fury . " Get this trash out of here ! " " Where are her things ?! I want everything brought back , right now ! " The housekeeper rushed over , pale and panicked . " Sir , the day the Miss Hawthornes moved in , they ordered us to throw all of Mrs. Langley's belongings away . They said it was on your orders . " Chapter 6 Wanna watch the rest of " Office Girl " ?

" The man lowered his head and didn't dare say another word . Travis pulled out his phone and refreshed the screen again . Still no reply . He tried calling - again . Straight to voicemail . His shoulders slumped as he typed , hands shaking . " Elise , I'm back . I thought we were done playing these games . Please ... stop hiding from me , okay ? " " I swear I'll only love you from now on . Just come back . " But this time , the message wouldn't send . She had blocked him . With a roar of anger , Travis hurled his phone at the floor . Then he turned to the circle of bodyguards standing behind him . " FIND HER ! I want Elise Whitman in front of me within THREE DAYS ! " Meanwhile , Julian Hart sat beside my bed , quietly peeling an apple . " How are you feeling today ? " I nodded and smiled faintly . " Thank you . He chuckled and sliced the apple into bite - sized pieces . " No need to be so polite . We're about to get married , remember ? " His words made my cheeks warm with embarrassment . After Travis had handed me the divorce papers , I felt completely empty inside . Then Julian - my childhood neighbor - sent me a message asking how I'd been . Without thinking , I'd asked , " Will you marry me ? " The typing bubble stayed on screen , but no reply came . I panicked , already regretting , and was scrambling to type out an explanation .
