Chapter 8.

Truth was stranger than fiction; we humans are strange creatures and we still reserve the right to think for ourselves.

Returning again to the current world, the birds were singing and announcing that dawn was approaching, and along with it, the day to day of Patrick Tempus…

The media announced that the mysterious disappearance of the women was something unusual, nothing that could be related, only that many of the patients were in Patrick Tempus' offices and that made him a prime suspect, but that doctor had perfect alibis that left no gaps, and therefore, the case was empty, since nothing could relate him, since he was not there at the time the events occurred… and multiple videos of offices related to him, spread that those days, Dr. Patrick Tempus was on duty, which made it seem as if it were impossible for him to be her kidnapper, but the sensationalist press always wanted something spicy, something new to publish and what else could it be than the case of the sexy and hot Dr. Patrick Tempus, all the newspapers had a scoop with his name, many exposing unfounded and baseless facts; and others, spreading conspiracy theories that they themselves did not believe, in addition, Patrick Tempus himself, took it upon himself to deny these accusations with a captivating smile, stating that all this was just to attract the attention of the national sensationalist public...

There was someone who was not entirely convinced, because she suspected that under that facade of a shrewd and impenetrable man, there was something else; and so, in this way, Ami July began to investigate everything about Patrick Tempus, but all she found were gaps, it was known that the man had a sister, but she disappeared a long time ago, she was kidnapped when she was a child and her body was never found, so the case was closed after six months; her parents were burned alive by a maid named Perry Nelson, but the woman had disappeared from the map, there was no data to locate her... Another empty space in Patrick Tempus' life...

Ami did not understand how no one could relate in a loving or friendly way with a man of this category; It is clear that the man is out of the league, on another level and that nothing and nobody is the same as Patrick Tempus, and that is what motivated Ami July even more to continue digging into the life of this mysterious and sexy gynecologist, suddenly she found on a forum a photo of Patrick when he was twelve years old and was next to his sister a month before she was kidnapped and accompanied by an unknown boy; and apparently, one could assume that they were good friends or something like that by the way they hugged and smiled at the camera... it was magical, as if they transmitted tranquility on a stormy day, that is how Ami July felt, who did not stop digging into Patrick Tempus's past, but everything was empty spaces... it was as if the man had been kidnapped by aliens and had been returned being a complete man.

 Suddenly, on a video server she put Patrick's name as if Ami July had known him all her life, and when she pressed "search" on the server, the surprise she got was to find Patrick Tempus being seen abroad, perhaps in Zaxonia or Inkitt accompanied by the third heiress of the Bardot family, "Brianna Bardot", who as usual had a silver mask, but everything flowed so naturally, that she could read the body language between them; and that genuine smile that Patrick dedicated to the woman was unique, the way he looked at her and moved strands of her hair behind her ear only for her to squeeze Patrick's cheeks as if they were a couple and then they received a man of the same age as Patrick, who hugged them both very familiarly; and when the man turned his face to the angle of the camera, she recognized that this man was that boy in the photo with Patrick, somehow these two beautiful men were related to Brianna Bardot, but it was known that she was a magnate in the business world, in addition, she had her brothers as support and not to mention her parents, they were owners of a huge world empire; and if Ami July wanted to know more about Patrick, she had to meet Brianna Bardot and the mysterious man who remained with them, in this way, Ami promised herself that she would not rest until she found the truth and this implied starting to move through murky waters…
