And she passed out she wakes up on her couch with an FBI agent holding a glass of water while she lay her head on her husband lap sitting up right she started laughing. "Honey I think I had the weirdest dream, you were watching the game and a breaking news update popped up on the screen saying our baby holly is missing and that her boyfriend Riley is actually a Duke of some kingdom, and that holly was kidnapped and FBI agents and royal gaurds showed up at our door."
"Yes honey but it wasn't a dream this is Marcus is a an FBI agent , Marcus nodded. Please have some water Mrs Von Hiest."
A look of shock and dispear washed over Emily face . "What you mean my baby is actually missing." Emily replied hyperventilating and passed out once more when she awakened she asked "what they doing ?" "Don't worry Ma'am we have the suitaton under control these are Lucian, Cyrus Kyle And Stephan they are your personal royal gaurds and more coming. we fear that since the parents of the duchess They may try to kidnap, you so his highness has instructed that we watch over you as goes in search of the duchess, he told me to tell you he won't rest till he finds her and I should protect with my life." Caleb the head of royal Guard said
"I don't care about that, what of our baby, Riley lied to us but about his identity what makes sure he will keep his word." Mrs Emily von Hiest questions
"Because its the word of Duke Henry John William the third to him his word is law, known to you as Riley Clemons he never makes a promise he can't keep, he will find your daughter even if the last thing he does." Caleb said with a matter fact look

The following day Riley woke up to throbbing headache and suken eyes he had not slept a wink ever since holly went missing and he couldn't help but blame himself for what happened he wasn't there to protect his muse pet and submissive they was no way he would rest until holly was back home
Sir you haven't slept , I mean you're Highness you haven't slept for days you're literally falling apart and you have delegation conference to attend tomorrow please reconsider and sleeping today we shall look for duchess
Shut up Benjamin, you are the reason she is missing in the first place, your are supposed to be her shadow but you let her be alone now she is not ok and you have the nerve to talk to me . I don't know where she is but who ever has better not touch or toy with what's mine, cause they wish they were never born and don't tell me how to feel and act am broken and she is my world can't you see I can't function without her." Riley said meaning every word a venomous beast and fire had been released inside Riley and nothing was going to stand his way not even the devil will the nerve to get in his way because it would be crashed
"But you're highness if keep drinking like this you will drink yourself to stupa and don't forget the kingdom needs you, more than ever before."
"Fuck the kingdom and fuck you for loosing her ,you kinkapoop now, I can't function I can't think cause holly is gone and you nerve to talk to me."Riley's angry deposition was clearly seen
"Am sorry your highness but this metting urgent and decides the fate of the people."
"I don't care." Riley hadn't slept in weeks he had swollen eyes eye bags an over grown beard He had been His pijamas for past weeks left over pizza slices were scattered all over the royal bedding and bed room dirty socks were all over the wooden finished floors
I it had been weeks since he smelt holly's perfume and felt the softness of hollys hair as it caressed his skin lonely and lost without his love Riley didn't want to keep living what was piont of his title as Duke of chesiks if he couldn't even save his love from kidnap he was most powerful king yet he couldn't help holly tears follows from his eyes knowing holly must have struggled , he was convinced it was his fault and Riley wanted to die from the pain and just end it but he couldn't give up he had made promise to holly's mother and he had fulfill it by returning her daughter to her no matter the cost getting off his bed Walked over to mirror they could clearly see pizza stains on his silk pajamas the over grown beard with food stains stuck in them and his dirt covered face looking at himself he couldn't believe he had become a bam and decided to clean himself up he rescued holly he need to look his best
Finally clean he decided to hire a private investigator along with the police every day hey passed pictures of holly around the neighborhood hoping that any one with news and information could call and reach out Riley went as far to set up a toll free hotline to ensure they find holly very soon thousands of people started calling claiming to have seen holly And every single lead was followed and tracked down but nothing came of them it was like as if holly had vanished from the face of the earth and was no where
Days turned months , months turned This drove Riley to deep depression. He couldn't sleep eat or drink all he could think about was finding holly But nothing was working he had
Already searched everywhere but no nothing came from it he wanted to give up. On love may be he was cursed all women he has ever come into contact with him either cheated, stole , used him drugged him but holly was different she was the one but now she is gone they kidnapped her it had already been 6 gruilling months of endless pain and suffering but Riley was determined to find holly No matter the cost
"Your highness we need to stop this madness the royal treasury is nearly depleted we have used all the funds to find holly it has been six months she should just give up and cut the loss."
" Riley on hearing this just stood from his throne and slit the gaurds throat , any one else with an objection ."
"No your majesty ."Caleb replied
"Good , now find her or be next."
"Of course."
Every day since then Caleb and the team have known no rest in search of holly but to no vail Riley hadn't done anything else other than mop cry and look for holly like madman it was coming to 8months and he had fall ill his mother asked him to move on With new girl cause thrown had been vacant for so long
I don't care mother holly will be my only queen due understand
"Of course dear but she is not here and hasn't been for months, but Jessica has she has helped rule the kingdom supporting you at every turn she can replace holly and you get married." Riley mother said
It was true that ever since holly disappeared Jessica Was there at every turn to give emotional support and comfort but Riley could see through the fake concerns for him he knew that Jessica always had a hidden agenda behind everything she did she had been trying to tempt Riley to sleep with her even before holly went missing undressing herself infrequently infront of him showing up In his bathroom naked but Riley knew she did all that cause she envied holly and wanted to be his queen but Riley had no intrest at all in her she had been sexually tormenting Riley and harassing him every since holly went missing but Riley refused to fall for her tricks he only had eyes for one girl it was true that he was only being every sexually active man to the point that he Always changed his girlfriends like he changed clothes but holly was different from the others
ever since he met her no other woman compared to her even if hasn't slept with her he was totally obsessed and no else would be his wife except holly so the kingdom could go to hell as far as he was concerned if holly wasn't his bride he was ready to step down as king cause according to the laws govern Chessiks a king has to be married before his crowned as king failure to do so will force him to denounce the throne and the next line takes over and Riley's mother knew this so he tried to convince him
"Riley please marry Jessica my son or our family will lose it all, we shall become commoners, please Riley the throne has been vacant for eight months and Lord Claymont has been getting support from the subjects of kingdom, he wants your throne, honey please marry Jessica it's the only way my son." Riley's mother says holding his cheek
You are worried but the throne mother but me I rather die than marry such hypocrite, vindictive , carclus monster like Jessica she is the devil mother, but don't worry am confident I find holly soon be patient mother I won't give up I just hope where she is she is ok."Riley said meaning every word
Where ever holly was Riley was going to find her he just hoped she was being treated right and hoped she was fine and still alive cause who ever had her was so careful it made finding holly every difficult but Riley wasn't a quitter and would find holly no matter making a silent prayer he prayed that God should keep holly safe until he finds her and prayers that captive treat her well the question kept asking himself was where was holly and who was holding her captive
