Owned By Her Triplet Bullies
Chapter 112

Ximena's POV

It's been two days now. Two days after I found out who I really was, I had a massive fight with Cole. A lot of things happened in those two days. I got an invitation from Luna Lila to come over for dinner. She also asked me to bring my kids and my husband over. Unknown to her that I was unmarried and that marriage of a thing was just a misconception that Hailey made them have. I had wanted to refuse the offer, I never wanted anything to do with their family or that pack anymore. But, she insisted and hung up the phone without waiting for my reply. Hailey also came to my office on those two days for her check-up. Honestly, I never thought she would want me to continue being her doctor. I had thought she would call the director and ask for my service to be terminated. Surprisingly, she came and was oddly polite. After getting her checkup done, she told me not to forget about the dinner her family was hosting and that I should make sure to bring mine along. Totally suspicious and weird.

I was only going to go for that dinner for Luna Lila's sake. I didn't want to seem rude since she invited me personally. Hailey's medical tests. They had arrived and were sitting right on top of my desk. I stared at it for a while before flipping through it with utmost concentration. My eyes widened at the things I was looking at. My phone suddenly rang which disrupted my concentration. The call was from Cole's assistant.

"Hello," I said immediately as I picked it up.

"Miss Ximena, good evening," he greeted politely.

"Evening, how may I help you?" I inquired.

"I called to ask if you've seen or heard anything about the boss. I can't reach him," he responded.

"Isn't he at the office?" I asked.

"He's not. Nobody has seen him for the past two days, we can't reach him either. This is so unlike the boss, has he perhaps been home all this while?" he replied worriedly.

"No, I haven't seen him either," I said in surprise. I haven't seen or spoken to Cole for the past two days after we had that argument where I threw him out. I thought he would probably be staying in a hotel or in his spare room at his office but it turned out he hadn't been going to his office at all.

"Oh, is that so? Please contact me as soon as you hear from him. I had to postpone a lot of his meetings. I won't be able to hold them off any longer. Any further delay might make us lose some important clients," he replied.

"I will call you as soon as I see him," I assured him before hanging up. I picked up my jacket and Hailey's files before heading out of the door. It was getting late and I figured Cole might be back home already. I drove towards our home and I went straight to his part of the house after I parked.

"Cole?" I called out loudly several times but I got no response. The house was clean and quiet. It didn't have any sign of his presence at all. I sighed and walked back to my own side of the house. The kids were asleep so I also headed towards my room. I took a shower and changed into my nightwear before laying on my bed in relief. I picked up my phone and scrolled through it for a while. Cole and I have never gone this long without speaking to each other.

I dropped my phone, walked toward my reading table, and picked up Hailey's files again. I sat down and started to read them when I got disrupted by my phone again. I picked it up and saw that it was Cole. I answered the call immediately.

"I know that we had an argument. Was that enough reason for you to abandon your work? What are you? A teenager? Do you know how worried your assistant has been?" I scolded. He chuckled. I frowned. His chuckle turned into full-blown laughter. "My dear Ximena, y..you sound so cute even when you are angry," he slurred with a chuckle.

"Are you drunk?" I asked in surprise. Cole almost never drinks unless it was absolutely necessary because his alcohol tolerance was very low.

"Drunk? Who is drunk? Are you the drunk one?" he mumbled incoherently. I sighed.

"Where are you? I will come and pick you up," I said.

"What? I can't hear you," he screamed over the loud music.

"Hello? Cole?" I called out but the call got disconnected. I quickly searched for his location on my phone. Thanks to technology, I found his exact whereabouts. I slipped off my nightgown and wore a plain t-shirt and ripped jeans. I pulled my hair into a bun and grabbed my car keys before heading out. I input the location into my GPS. Flawless club. Why did it sound so familiar?

I drove downtown till I found it. I got out and headed inside. Music was blaring so loudly that it was giving me a headache. Disco lights. Drunk and high people on the dance floor. My eyes scanned the room for Cole but I could not replace him. I tried calling him while I headed upstairs but he wasn't answering. I could see the men's gazes on me but I ignored them all. My priority was to replace Cole. Any other thing could come later. I looked at my phone and dialed his number again when I accidentally bumped into someone. "Sorry, I wasn't looking...," I trailed off when I looked up from my phone and saw who it was.

"Doctor Ximena! What a nice surprise," he exclaimed.

"Tom?" I asked in surprise. I remember now. I knew the name of this club was familiar. It was the club Tom told me about. What was Cole doing at a gangster's club?

"The one and only. I never knew you frequented places like this. How come I never ran into you?" he inquired.

"No, this is my first time here and I'm here to pick up a friend," I explained.

"Really? Who is this friend? I might be able to help," he said.

"Cole. Cole Martinez," I replied.

"Cole? Everyone knows him in this club even though it's his first time here. He is one loaded man. He bought drinks for every single person in this club. Come with me, he's in the VIP room," he said as he walked towards a room. "That sounds...fun?" I replied. Cole must be seriously out of his mind. What if someone clicks a picture and this gets to the press? He pushed a door open and we walked in. I scrunch my nose at the strong stench of alcohol in the air. Cole was laying with his eyes closed. He looked wasted.

"There he is. The star of tonight," Tom said with a wide smile. I furrowed my brows, walked toward him, and gave him a hard shove on the shoulder.

"Hey Cole," I called out. He opened his eyes and glanced around the room till his eyes fell on me. He smiled.

"Ximena, you are...," he trailed as he suddenly stood up and gagged repeatedly. He walked towards a waste bin and threw up repeatedly. The only sound in the air was Cole repeatedly throwing up.

"Okay, I should go now. I have a club to run. Call me if you need anything," Tom said before rushing out. He panted and groaned after he was done. I walked towards him and handed him a bottle of water. He gulped the entire content down thirstily.

"Should we leave or do you still have more drinks to buy?" I asked sarcastically. I didn't wait for his response before walking out but I could hear him behind me. I drove us home because he was definitely not in the right frame of mind to drive. We rode home in silence and when I parked, we headed in but still maintained the silence until he broke it.

"Ximena? I'm sorry for the trouble I caused. I know you are angry...," he started.

"Angry? How would you know if I'm angry or not? You are totally out of it. You can't even walk straight. Is this how you deal with your problems? By getting drunk. This is so unlike you," I said, staring at him in disbelief. He stared at me silently.

"We have both been invited to dinner at New Dawn pack. Be ready tomorrow evening. We will talk when you are sober," I continued before heading upstairs. I got into my room and started taking off my clothes when my eyes fell on Hailey's files on my bed. I picked it up and read it without any interruption this time. I covered my mouth in shock as I read the information it contained. Was this why she didn't want me to carry out any tests on her? How long has she been hiding this secret?
