A missing wife, a desperate husband and a rich billionaire

Chapter 1 The beginning

It all started like any other day.

Darren woke up to his second alarm 6.45am. He had just over an hour before he had to leave for work, he turned over looking for Grace but the bed next to him was empty and didn't look like it had been slept in at all.

Grace so often fell asleep at her desk nowadays since the promotion.

Darren walked to the garage saw Grace's phone and keys on the floor but no sign of Grace. The feeling of dread and nauseous spread through Darren as he dropped to his knees in the garage. He stayed there for what seemed like forever until his phone ringing in his hand broke the trance.

'Yeh Darren, dude what's wrong you don't sound to good?'

'Tell Paul to start the meeting without me I won't be there today'

'Darren you could loose your job for this your already an hour late. What's going on?'

'Listen Matt, I don't know what to say or how to explain it but Grace she's not here man I think she's missing'
