Phoenix Sterling

"Where the hell is she?" I mumbled as I paced in front of the door because she hasn't comeback from work and it's already past midnight. I couldn't even reach her phone or her office number.

Her secretary said she left already but there's no trace of her. Her phone was turned off since this morning and I couldn't trace it anywhere. I already asked some of my men to find her. What if there's something wrong with her?

My heart was pounding hard thinking the worse scenario that could happen and I quickly threw those thoughts away. I ran my hands through my hair and couldn't help but stressing out.

"Mr. Sterling, we found her in the Four Seasons hotel. She checked in about an hour ago." My PI said as soon as I answered his call.

"She's alone right?"

"Yes, she's alone and she looked so drunk." What's with her lately? She's been drinking a lot and I think something is wrong with her. I grabbed my car keys and went straight to the basement taking my car out from the building.

I drove towards the hotel and my PI sent me her room number. He already got the room key and as soon as I arrived at the hotel lobby. He gave the room key to me and I thanked him.

I got into the lift and pressed her room floor. I can't believe I'm taking care of this woman to another level. I really hate this kind of shit but I'm asking myself why am I doing it for this woman? She's really handful and I really hate when it comes to taking care someone else's shit.

I got out from the lift and tried to find her room. I rang the bell of her hotel room but there's no answer. I knocked on the door really hard but still no answer.

"Lana, if you don't open the door, I'll come inside whether you like it or not!" I said loud enough for her to hear it.

"Lana!" I banged the door again and again but still no answer. I used the room key to open the door and I walked inside slowly. She was laying in bed completely drunk and still in her work attire. Did something happen at work? What happened exactly?

I looked at the wine bottles on the ground. She was drinking 3 bottles at the same time and she just passed out on the bed. I took all the wine bottles from the floor and put it on the table. I turned to her and fixed her position on the bed. I put the blanket on her and sighed.

Did something happen? Did she fight with her father?

I decided to turn on her phone and all my missed calls notification popped up. Not only that but I saw Finn text her wanting to meet her and why the hell is that fucker wants? Some texts from Gaston, Eric and Hugo. I found myself not liking what I'm seeing and decided to throw the fucking phone to the wall.

"What the?!" Lana woke up and her eyes widen when she saw me. She rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn't dreaming when she saw me. She sat up straight and looked at me weirdly.

"What? How did you get here? How do you know?!" She panicked and I sat on the edge of the bed looking at her angrily.

"Did you forget that I'm a fucking billionaire and that I have a lot of sources to find you? Where were you?" I asked coldly and she raised her eyebrows.

"Why are you angry at me?"

"Do you know what time it is? You're really going out and got drunk for 2 days in a row. You have an addiction to alcohol now? Because of Finn? You're jealous that he's with Julie? Who did you go out with? Adrian? Finn? Gaston? Eric? Or maybe that Hugo?" I bursted angrily at her and she just looked at me like I was some kind of joke.

"Why are you yelling at me? I'm not your girlfriend or your real wife! I can do whatever I want and hang out with whoever I want. We can date other people and that's in the contract. Did you forget about it?" I'm guessing that she's sober now. I sighed when I realize that she was right.

"I can date whoever I want. I can fuck whoever I want. I can be with whoever I want and you can't protest about it. Now get out from my room and go back to your penthouse!" She hissed and she laid on the bed.

"Did something happen?" I asked.

"It's none of your business, I can take care of myself. I'm a grown ass woman who doesn't need you to baby sit me." She snapped.

"You're really acting like a mad woman, Lana." I said and she sat up on the bed right away.

"Why are you protesting? You're the one who came in here and I never even ask you to come or to take care of me. You will be the last person on my list that I would call if I need anything. I don't need you, Phoenix. I will never will." She looked straight into my eyes and I felt my chest getting heavy and heavier.

"Just go, I'm tired and I'm not in the mood to argue with you." She said as she threw her body to the bed again. I looked at her phone on the ground and the glass cracked.

"Your phone." I said.

"Let them be, I won't be needing it. Just go and leave me alone." She said coldly and I sighed. I got up from the bed and I walked towards the door. I opened it and walked out from her room. My heart was heavy but I don't want to go back there demanding her to tell what happened today.

I will let her be, I don't need to take care of her. She's a grown ass woman and why should I care?
