Chapter Ten

“Hi, you’ve reached Fatima Sigel. I’m unavailable to take your call—”

Macy slammed his executive phone down as he heard his wife’s voice mail pick up once again. He had been trying to reach her all night to no avail. Frustrated and fearing the unknown, Macy pinched the bridge of his nose as he tried to calm himself. He knew that she had not gone to the police because no one had come knocking on his door asking questions.

Macy wondered where she could be. He had traced all of her credit card transactions, trying to see if she had checked into a hotel, but he had come to a dead end. Fatima didn’t want to be found, and he would have to respect that until she chose to reach out to him.

From the look on her face, Macy realized that things would never be the same between them. There was no explanation that he could give that would erase the monstrous image that she had of him now. The fact that he had not intended to harm Boomer didn’t matter. The truth was obsolete at this point. She had already rendered him guilty, and Macy didn’t know what that meant for him. Fatima was a woman scorned, and Macy had no idea how to rectify the problem.

Had she been anyone else, he could have handled it easily. One phone call could make the situation disappear; but she was his wife, and despite what they were going through, he loved her. He cherished her and only wanted to protect her, which was why he hadn’t come out and told her the truth from the beginning.

His phone rang nonstop as his secretary tried to contact him. He had already missed his entire morning’s schedule. Macy couldn’t even run his own household. How the hell did anyone expect him to run the city? He couldn’t focus on his professional life when his personal one was in such disarray. The information that Fatima had on him was sensitive, and she needed to know that their family skeletons needed to be kept in the closet. It was imperative that she cooperate. Macy knew that the longer she stayed away, the worse it would be for him in the end. He just needed her to hear him out.

Distracted, he headed out for his office. The expectations that were placed on his shoulders normally would not be an issue, but with Fatima missing and his life in shambles, work was the last thing on his mind. He grabbed his leather briefcase and tightened his tie before he walked outside and entered the town car that was waiting in front of his home.

“City Hall, and don’t take the expressway. I don’t want to get caught up in traffic,” he called out.

Macy closed his eyes and rested his head on the back of the leather seat as the car pulled away from his home. He was abruptly startled when he heard a loud pop as one of the tires burst and the car slowed to a stop.
