Ryan's POV
The search for Vivian's ex was not bearing any fruit and that was frustrating for Ryan. He barely got any work done, instead focusing most of his energy on trying to find that awful human being. But no matter how many people Ryan got on the job, they just could not seem to track him down.
Finding Bryce should have been as easy as plucking fruit from a tree. Ryan had never had trouble finding anyone when he really, really wanted to get his hands on them. And yet when it came to Vivian's ex, he was struggling to do so. He had even gone as far as to suspect that Gwendolyn Stuart the fourth might have somehow been involved. She was the only person other than Bryce, who stood to benefit from Ryan not getting his hands on the man.
But when he'd had people track her movements, he had found nothing linking her to Bryce's vanishing act. In fact, around the time that Bryce had gone missing, Gwendolyn had not been in the city. She had been off enjoying herself in another country.
