Chapter 15
…0
On the fifteenth day since Yunia left, Matteo still hadn’t received any news of her.
She had vanished like she’d evaporated from the world, disappearing completely from his side.[]
During this time, Matteo had exhausted all his connections and resources, sending people to search everywhere he could think of day and night, but still made no progress.]
How had Yunia managed to leave not a single trace?]
Unless… she was deliberately concealing her whereabouts, not wanting him to find her.[]
At this thought, Matteo suddenly felt a wave of helplessness.]
These past days, his close friends had been urging him to let go of this somewhat absurd relationship, dragging him out to meet many new people.
They had even brought Joannie over, trying to cheer him up.
But Matteo always felt something was missing.
He felt he couldn’t live without Yunia.[]
Even when he went out with them, he rarely spoke, just drinking one glass after another. No matter who came to toast him, he ignored them all, his expression terrifyingly cold.[
Later, Matteo simply stopped going out altogether, locking himself in his room and staring blankly all day.
His friends couldn’t stand watching this and came to persuade him:[]
“She’s just one woman, isn’t she? With your conditions, what kind of woman can’t you find? Why fixate on Yunia alone?”
“She’s different from other women.“]]
Only when Yunia was mentioned would he respond.
“What’s so different? Didn’t you say before that she was always controlling you, making you uncomfortable? Now that she’s gone, why don’t you just bring Joannie back?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room started laughing.
But only Matteo showed no reaction. His face darkened, and he directly swung his fist at the speaker, knocking him to the ground.[]
But Matteo still wasn’t satisfied and kicked him several more times.
Only then did everyone react, rushing to restrain him.]
But they clearly couldn’t hold him back. They had to continue earnestly persuading him.
“Matteo, calm down! We’re all friends, we’re all looking out for you. Don’t take it to heart if someone said the wrong thing.”

“Yeah, what’s important now is finding her together. Don’t bother with him anymore.“[]
Hearing these words, Matteo finally stopped.[]
He glanced at the man on the floor, his voice chillingly cold.[]
“Take him to the hospital.“[]
His friends didn’t dare delay, immediately taking the man to the hospital in a large group. Soon, only Matteo remained in the large room.
Suddenly there was another knock at the door-[]
His assistant walked in, placing the repaired phone on Matteo’s desk.[]
“CEO Jackson, the phone has been mostly repaired.“]]
Matteo took it with trembling hands. The password was still his birthday.[]
His finger suddenly froze as he scrolled through the screen.[]
WhatsApp was filled with videos from Joannie, mostly showing them embracing, with sickeningly intimate captions.]
In the last video, Joannie was pretending to doze in his arms, but the camera deliberately focused on the scrape on her wrist, with the caption:
“With Matteo here, I’m not afraid no matter how much it hurts.“]
“Yunia, are you feeling desperate now? Matteo’s heart is all with me.“]
“But don’t be too discouraged. If you beg me nicely, I might let Matteo go home more often when I’m in a good mood.”
Each time he scrolled down, Matteo’s anger intensified.]
He never imagined Joannie would do such things behind his back.
“Bang!”
The phone shattered against the hard wall, breaking into pieces again.]]
“Bring Joannie to Twilight Bar!”
The bodyguard was about to ask for specific arrangements when Matteo’s icy gaze cut him off: “If I don’t see her within an hour, don’t bother coming back.“]
