Chapter Thirteen

Ráj Manor, Caledon, Ontario

“Find her, dammit!” The glass he threw shattered against the wall and Butler took a deep breath trying to regain control. The guard in front of him, Thompson, had flinched. Weakling.

“We don’t know where to look, sir.” Thompson kept his voice even, but his muscles were tensed.

“So you keep saying. If she disappeared into thin air, someone took her who was able to do that, because she would have used that particular skill before now if she’d had it.” Butler grabbed a new glass from Nikola’s collection and poured himself another drink. He threw it back and hissed a breath through his teeth as the alcohol burned its way into his empty stomach.

“Yes, sir, but all we have is a loose description from the men. She didn’t speak to him, or say his name. How can we possibly know where he took her?”

“You keep questioning anyone involved, that’s how.” He took another drink and rolled his shoulders. “Have you tracked down the guest who had such an interest in her? The one who left that night.”

“Ah, him.” Thompson took out an iPhone and started tapping away. “We found the flight he took out, it was a private jet back to the US. We’ve sent a few of our guys to encourage him to come back and stay with us again.”

“Good.” Butler was nodding, but he wasn’t able to think straight. He still wasn’t sure what had happened that morning, only that things were out of control.

He had to get it all fixed before the heir arrived or he was out of a job, and out of the lifestyle he had become accustomed to. No one was going to take this away from him, not after all the years he’d put in. Especially not her.

“Sir, what do you want us to do next?” Thompson was standing at ease and had tucked his phone back into a pocket.

“Where are the idiots who let her get away?” Butler set the glass down and picked up a bottle of vodka, taking a drink from it.

“Evans, Cooper, and Hernandez are currently scrubbing the entry way tile by hand. Cooper is having a particularly difficult time with the broken arm.”

“Good. If they finish that today, send them to me.” He took another drink and Thompson nodded to him.

“How long do we have before the new master of the house arrives?” Thompson needed the answer, and the question was a valid one, but it made Butler’s blood boil. Nikola had handled the business side of things, but the house, and all those inside it, had mostly been under Butler’s control. Nikola should have left him the house. Should have left him the slaves. He should have passed on ownership of all of it to him. He would keep
