Daniel's frustration reached a boiling point as he sat in his office, staring at his phone. He couldn't believe he was being stonewalled by someone he used to share his life with. He was a powerful man, used to getting what he wanted when he wanted it, and now he felt helpless.
With no direct way to contact Anabella, Daniel decided to cross a line he once thought he'd never need to. If she wouldn't come to him, he'd find her himself.
He picked up his desk phone and dialed his IT department. "I need a trace run on an old phone number," he said, his voice sharp and businesslike.
The IT head on the other end hesitated. "Sir, is this a legal inquiry?"
Daniel rolled his eyes. "It's a personal matter. Just check the records. I need to find where this person is."
