Chapter 6

Back at the hotel, Kent paced in his room. Herculea had been gone for hours. The memory of Pedro’s smugly handsome features made Kent’s blood pressure soar. Then, he felt foolish. Why hadn’t he confessed to Herculea long ago that he was in love with her?

Kent conjured the image of Herculea the first time they met. Her shiny black hair had been embroidered into a silky French braid that trailed down the middle of her back. She had been wearing a form-fitting beige business suit and high heels to boost her petite stature. Herculea had burst at the seams with enthusiasm and ambition. Kent had fallen in love with her that day. All these years he had restrained himself around Herculea, putting up a front of professionalism.

Kent couldn’t take it anymore. He was sure he would go insane if he stayed one more minute in his hotel room. He walked across the hall to Herculea’s room. Maybe she had returned and he didn’t even realize it. He knocked gently at the door, shocked when it budged inward. It was open!

“Herculea? Are you in here?” Kent called out to an empty room.

When no reply sounded, he walked cautiously inside. Nothing was in disarray. Everything seemed to be as she would have left it. Kent walked towards the unmade bed, startled to see Herculea’s cell phone on the nightstand. She had been in a hurry that morning. Kent found it unsettling that she was out with Pedro without her cell phone. If she didn’t return by that evening, Kent resolved to find her.
