Chapter 197

  M I R A N D A

  I take a good look at Bethany while she sleeps peacefully on top of her crib. I kiss her forehead goodnight and walked to Ben's bedroom. He's fast asleep too while he hugs that hot dog pillow in between his thighs and hugs it close to his cheeks. I've been walking around the mansion to look for Landon.

  When I woke up, he wasn't next to me anymore. And I'm worried where he is at this very moment. I stand out of his study and I think he is behind this room. I slowly opened the door as it squeaks open and stood by the threshold.

  "Landon?" I entered his study.

  There he is with a bottle of liquor next to him and a glass half emptied by the golden brown colored alcohol. I wonder what's bothering him. He always comes here and brings with him a bottle of alcohol and drowns himself with it.

  "There you are." I added with a soft voice.
