Dark Romance: A Cruel Obsession

“Vilem?” Mark smiled, saying casually, “He is Joseph’s capable right-hand man, and we are trying to contact him.”

“He is on a mission,” Alajos said.

“No wonder,” Mark sighed, “we have been unable to reach him.”

“When he finishes his mission and returns to Houston, I will have someone bring him directly to Los Angeles,” Alajos stared at Mark intently, not missing the slightest change in his expression, “He has been away from Los Angeles for a long time, I hope Los Angeles still welcomes him as before.”

“Of course,” Mark’s expression showed no flaws, “Vilem is Bryson’s son, Los Angeles will always be his home.”

Alajos smiled, about to say something, when a hurried phone call interrupted them, and they quickly left the sterile ward.

Mark, who was leading the way, turned back to look at Alajos, only then did Alajos realize that it was his phone ringing.

Frowning, Alajos took out his phone from his pocket.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alajos,” the voice on the other end of the phone told him a piece of unsettling news, struggling, “Vilem has disappeared.”

Hawaii, Oahu Island.

Vivian had just finished breakfast and was walking back, holding a watering can to water the flowers in the yard behind Loomis.

Mare stood not far from them, answering the phone, Alajos’s cousin Keaun also called Mare at the same time. He hesitated for a second, then decisively turned and walked out.

Mare’s mood was similarly heavy; Vilem’s disappearance was a very bad sign. “What has Alajos arranged?” Keaun asked.

“Simpson and Floren have already left for Los Angeles, the situation there is not very good,” Keaun, temporarily taking over some affairs in place of Festus, carefully analyzed the new trends in Los Angeles with Mare. Bryson was greatly compromised, Joseph had the greatest likelihood of becoming Capo, but there were many internal objections, or it could be a good opportunity to elect Vilem as the new Capo.

But just at this moment, Vilem disappeared! They had to temporarily halt their plans to target Joseph.

The same worries were weighing on Mare’s mind, but what he was more concerned about was Vivian. He knew Vivian and Vilem had always had a good relationship, and Vilem had promised to come to Hawaii to see her. Mare couldn’t imagine what kind of frenzy Vivian would be plunged into if something happened to Vilem.

However, as he glanced back at Vivian’s room, he saw Vivian standing not far away, pale-faced.

“Vivian…” Mare’s voice was hoarse.

Keaun on the other end of the phone was puzzled, “What did you say?”

“Something happened to Vilem?” Mare asked.

The voice on the phone suddenly changed, and Keaun, caught off guard, realized whose voice it was, sending shivers down his spine. He cautiously asked, “Vivian?”

“It’s me,” Vivian’s voice shook uncontrollably, she bit her lip, determined not to let her sobbing sound go into the receiver.

“It’s nothing serious.” Keaun chose to conceal the truth in the end.

But Vivian didn’t believe it, “I just heard it, Vilem disappeared, didn’t he? You can’t find him, can you?”

Keaun and Mare’s collective silence told her the answer.

“No wonder,” Vivian covered her face, unable to hold back her tears, “No wonder I couldn’t reach him. But this situation was too common, so much so that Vivian ignored the inexplicable unease deep within her heart.

“Don’t worry too much, Vivian,” Mare reassured her, “Alajos has sent people to look for him, I believe there will be news soon.”

Vivian knew that crying was useless, but she couldn’t control her fear; her hands were trembling with fear.

“I have faith in Alajos,” Vivian repeated to herself in her mind, “He will find Vilem; he wouldn’t disregard Vilem’s safety.” But she couldn’t help but want to know further about the arrangements, “Who are the people going out to find Vilem?”

Vivian suddenly remembered someone, “Does Kasin know about Vilem’s disappearance?”

“Kasin?” The person from Los Angeles sent to assist Houston had a list with Keaun, and after a brief moment, he remembered who Kasin was, but he was Joseph’s man.

Vivian didn’t explain much to Keaun, “Tell Kasin about this, maybe he can find Vilem.” Vivian didn’t have much assurance.

Vivian’s emotions were complex at the moment, silently praying that Kasin could find Vilem while at the same time hoping Vilem’s disappearance had nothing to do with Joseph.

They were brothers, were they really going to go to such extremes?

But deep down, a voice in her heart kept telling her, don’t hold out any hope for Joseph; remember who he is, Vivian!

“I need to go back to Houston… no, I need to go to Los Angeles,” Vivian hung up the phone on Keaun and said to Mare.

“No!” Mare’s immediate reaction was to refuse, “You know how dangerous it is.”

“But I can’t lose Vilem,” Vivian said, “I don’t want to admit that Joseph kidnapped Vilem, but in fact, besides him, no one else has a reason to do so. Is something happening in Los Angeles?”
