Sugar Dating with CEO-Chapter 188 - 188 I Found You
188 I Found You
Soon the sound of the door being unlocked was heard. The door opened with Elena there, staring coldly at Dante.
Dante looked up, trying to speak even though whatever he said would not be clear because his mouth was duct-taped. Elena approached her husband without the loving expression that had been given to Dante. Because it would never be there again.
Bad rumors had already spread in the family company she was leading. Dante had really embarrassed her. She did not plan to file for divorce in court. With all the reasons she had, she decided to keep Dante at home.
“Dante, have you admitted your mistake?” Elena asked, looking coldly at the man who was still her husband. Dante did not respond at all, returning Elena’s gaze sharply. It had been two days that he had been locked up like this, and two days that Elena had not given him food, only a little drink. “Why are you silent? Didn’t you keep yelling in annoyance earlier? It could be heard outside, you know.”
Dante’s hands were clenched tightly, the veins on his face visible again because he was so emotional with the woman in front of him now. Dante began to rebel again wanting to escape, even though his energy was getting less and less because he did not get energy intake, but his emotions were still very much.
“It’s useless for you to rebel, you won’t be able to escape, Dante,” Elena said as she removed the black duct tape from the man’s mouth.
Dante’s breathing was up and down, at least he was allowed to talk now. “Elena, let me go, this is too much, you shouldn’t be treating me like this!” Dante growled in annoyance, glaring at Elena.
“Then what do I have to do to deter you from all your foul deeds?” Elena retorted, bringing her face even closer to Dante’s face. She lifted the man’s chin with her index finger, then continued, “Do you think I knew nothing about you having so many mistresses behind my back?”
Elena smiled wickedly, looking quite horrible especially since Dante had never seen that expression on his wife’s face. And also, he was surprised because it turned out that Elena had known all along with all his rotten games. “I know everything, Dante. How many women you have, how much money you give them. I know Zeline, one of your sugar babies too, right?”
.....
Dante’s heart seemed to stop beating when Elena mentioned the girl’s name. Elena really knew everything.
“But I stay quiet, like a moron every time you lie to me. Because I pity you. A man who has just tasted great wealth, ends up doing such a disgusting act. Disgusting, you’re so disgusting, Dante,” Elena continued and slapped the man hard on the cheek. It was as if her accumulated hatred was all in that one slap. “Don’t you know how much people talk about us? I’m called a stupid woman because I’m the only one who seems to know nothing and continues to love you.”
“Since when did you know that?” asked Dante, the more he felt it, the more Elena’s slap hurt.
“It’s been a long time. I only kept quiet because I wanted to know how far you’d gone. But you don’t seem to care, because it just increases the number of young women who are hungry for money, right?” Elena replied with a mocking smile.
“Then what do you want? I’d rather you scold me right then and there than keep it all bottled up!” Dante snapped in annoyance, but Elena was not afraid of that.
Dante was confused when Elena actually laughed loudly even though he did not think there was anything funny here.
“Didn’t I catch you cheating on me once or twice? But you lied to me. Do you think I believe you that easily?” she retorted with her eyebrows lowered and a smile on her lips. It looked terrible. “I’ve been amused by your games ever since, Dante. Well, despite being sick of having to pretend to love you in front of our child.”
“You... didn’t love me from the start?” asked Dante in surprise.
Elena glanced lazily at Dante, a lopsided smile growing on her face. “I love you, Dante. But not after knowing you keep playing women behind my back.” Elena stroked Dante’s hair like she would a street cat. “Dante, you should know better. I made you a man with a lot of money, even though none of my family approved of our relationship. Can’t you just sit back and run my family’s business? You can’t do anything on your own, Dante. All you have is a handsome face. And you know, what I like about you is just your face,” added the woman and took the duct tape, about to cover Dante’s mouth again.
“Elena, I’m sorry! I won’t do it again, please give me a chance! Elena, I love you very much. I wanted to stop doing it from the start, please believe me. Elena, Ele- mhhm!” Dante continued to rebel, his mouth already duct-taped by Elena who again looked at him very cold and sharp.
The woman stood up, staring haughtily at Dante who could do nothing on the floor. “I’m sick of all your bullshit. You’re going to rot to death here, Dante. I’m not going to care about you anymore,” Elena said and began to walk out of the room leaving Dante who continued to rebel like a mouse caught in a glue trap.

Dariel stepped into his resting room. Zeline was still there waiting for him to finish working. Once there, he smiled amusedly at the sight of his beloved seemingly fast asleep on the sofa with a magazine that Zeline was still holding. Dariel walked over to the girl, carefully picked up the magazine and placed it on the table. He intended to wake Zeline up but the blonde girl woke up first, still with her life not fully gathered.
Zeline rubbed her eyes, trying to focus if the one in front of her now was really Dariel. “Are you done?”
Dariel nodded slowly. “Let’s go home. Or do you want to stay here?”
“I’m sleepy.”
The elder gently ruffled Zeline’s blonde hair. “You can continue your sleep later at home.”
“Don’t leave me. You must stay with me for now,” Zeline pleaded hugging her lover’s burly arm.
“I’ll stay with you forever, Babe,” Dariel replied as he kissed the top of Zeline’s head.
After saying goodbye to the nurses and other hospital staff, they went to the parking lot. Where the man’s car was kept, Dariel also asked his subordinates to drive Zeline’s car later to the girl’s house. During the trip, Zeline was mostly silent and chose to focus on looking at the road ahead.
Dariel became worried, afraid that something would happen to his lover. Dariel held Zeline’s hand, gently stroking the back of his hand. “Are you okay?”
“Hm? Yes, more or less.”
“Then what are you thinking about?”
“Lea. I really don’t know her news at all. Is she still alive, or not,” Zeline replied, leaving Dariel at a loss as to how to respond. He could not do anything, because Arthur had not been able to find his sugar baby. Whether the sugar baby title still applies or not, Dariel does not care about it. “Can’t you help Arthur? I want to see Lea,” the girl pleaded. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖
“You know I’ve been helping him even now. Lea also no longer controls her pregnancy with Doctor Yolan.”
“Doctor Yolan?”
“The doctor who handled Kalea’s gynecological examination.” Dariel was saddened to see Zeline getting more and more gloomy. Even though his lover had just experienced something terrible, Zeline was more worried about others.
Until finally they had arrived at Zeline’s house. Dariel decided to stay there to accompany his lover. Even now, Zeline is still moody. Dariel is worried that this will further worry his lover’s condition, which has not really recovered.
Dariel took off his seat belt and Zeline’s. He hugged the girl affectionately, then said, “Believe me, everything will be fine. You better think of yourself first. I don’t want you to get sick, honey.”
“I’m afraid that Lea is going through the same thing as me. Who will help her? She must be alone,” Zeline replied, returning Dariel’s hug.
“You have to think positive, then what happens will be positive. Lea will be safe.”
Not long after, the cell phone in Dariel’s pants pocket vibrated. The man picked up his cell phone, wondering who the person was who interrupted their time together.
And it turned out to be Arthur.
“Who? You didn’t pick up?” asked Zeline confused because Dariel only looked at the cell phone briefly and intended to ignore it.
“Arthur.”
“Pick up, idiot. Why are you ignoring it? What if it’s important?” Zeline grumbled.
Finally, Dariel could not help but pick up the call. “Hello, what’s up?”
[Dariel! You should know, Lea’s location has been found! I know where she is now!]
Both of Dariel’s eyebrows raised, he glanced at Zeline who continued to look at him curiously. Dariel did not activate the loud speaker because of that Zeline did not know what Arthur had said earlier. “Ah, is that so? Thank goodness. You should be there soon.”
[Of course. Well, I just wanted to let you know about this. And I don’t think you should tell Zeline right away, I’ll check it out first].
“Yes, about that take it easy. You better go see her right away.”
