"Ok, I will try, let's talk later," Purity replied.
"Take care of yourself and be safe,"
Andrew hanged up and she handed the phone back to him.
"Thank you," she appreciated.
"Have you taken your drugs?" He asked.
"No, I don't even know which drugs I'm supposed to take," she answered.
"Freshen up and I'm coming,"
She nodded and left the room. Getting to her room she headed to the bathroom and as much as she didn't want the water to get to the wounds, there was no way she could achieve that on her own.
Limping out of the bathroom, with a towel on, she had a chance to look around the room.
It was a blend of black and white unlike her room which had blue and pink, her favorite colors.
She didn't have a change of cloth and was scared to check the closet fear of invading his privacy. She sat on the bed and started checking the drugs on the lampstand.
Denzel walks in with another set of pajamas and handed to her.
"Use that,"
"Thank you," She appreciates and goes to the bathroom.
Looking at herself in the mirror she realizes she looks like a scarecrow are the clothes are two big.
"Do I have a choice," she thinks to herself and walks back to the bedroom.
On the lampstand was a glass of water and she picked it, sitting on the bed with it. He handed her some drugs and she swallowed them. As she droped the glass down, the door opened and Venessa entered the room.
"Do you have the ointment?" Denzel asked.
"Yes sir, I will apply it on her," Vanessa answered.
"Hand it over," Denzel instructed.
"Sir...," Her words are interrupted by the look on his face and she swallowed hard the lumpsum in her throat.
She takes the ointment from her bag and handed it to him.
"How do I use it?" He questioned looking at it.
"Twice a day in the morning and evening you apply on the affected area,"
"Any side effects?"
"The area will itch but for a few minutes she should just leave it,"
"You can leave," it was more like an order even though his voice was calm and low the authoritative part of it couldn't be missed.
Vanessa bowed and walked out and Purity faced him.
"Why did you do that?" Purity asked him.
"I did something wrong?" He asked back and she kept quiet remembering Andrew's words.
"If he was a bad person, he would have heart you yesterday,"
Not saying another word, he sat beside her and started applying the ointment on her.
At the door Vanessa was watching them and not being able to take it anymore she ran downstairs bumping into Daniel who was coming in.
"Why are you crying?" Dan asked.
"Who is that girl?" She asked.
"I'm just coming in, how should I know the girl you are talking about?"
"The girl Denzel brought yesterday, he is taking care of her,"
"You are listening to yourself? You are the only girl who has ever been closer to him because you are his doctor, and he doesn't bring those runs girl's into his house. Which girl?" Daniel wasn't understanding anything she was saying.
"Yesterday when you called me, he came in with a girl and she was injured. I took care of her and today I was to bring an ointment for her scars. That is why I'm here but he didn't even allow me close to her, he took the ointment from me and asked me to leave the room. I stayed at the door and watched him apply the ointment on her face so affectionately," Vanessa narrated everything to him.
"I'm trying to believe you. This shouldn't affect you, we all know he can't have a thing with his employees so why hurt yourself?"
"I love him and all I want is for him to love me back, I'm I asking for too much?" Vanessa asked in tears.
"You know I don't like seeing you in tears. I will find out who the girl is. Where is she?"
"They are in the room next to his,"
Daniel nodded and decided to go and find out by himself, if it was true or Vanessa was hallucinating. He won't be surprised, once you are in love with someone you always imagine things about them.
Vanessa remained on the couch crying, hoping that he will come downstairs and explain to her what just happened. Tell her why he chased her out. There must be an explanation to everything.
"I'm hungry," Purity spoke after he was done applying the ointment.
"Give me few minutes I order something," he requested as a knock was planted on the door.
"Who is there?" Denzel asked.
"Dan,"
"Thank goodness it's you, order some food for two," he instructed.
"Ok sir,"
Dan took his phone and ordered for his favorite food. He had stayed with him long enough to know his favorite.
He went downstairs to wait for the food and Vanessa was still on the couch crying.
"I think you should go home, I will find out and talk to you tomorrow when you are calm," Dan suggested.
"Please tell him that I love him," she begged.
"Let me talk to him first then know what next, you are the one supposed to tell him that it's more personal,"
"Find out for me," she pleaded and he nodded.
She took her bag and rushed out still in tears. Daniel sighed on the couch.
"What have I gotten myself into?" He thought to himself.
The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He walked to the door, took the food, paid the delivery guy and set the table for them.
He took the stairs to call them.
"Sir the food is at the table," He called out from the door.
"We are coming," he said from the inside and Dan walked back downstairs.
He was so eager to meet this mysterious girl who miraculously found her way into Denzel's house, something nobody else had ever done.
As they walked downstairs Denzel was even helping her. Dan pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming. On second glance, he noticed how beautiful and innocent she looked but too innocent to be in there world.
Her long silk like hair that had covered part of her face made her look more cute.
The big clothes made her look funny but still beautiful. Her looks didn't fit for a call girl then where did they meet? Could she be the reason he didn't come to the warehouse?
He was thinking and didn't hear Denzel talk to him till he was thrown by one of the pillows.
"Is it urgent?" Denzel asked again.
"What?" He asked back.
"What brought you here, is it urgent?"
"I'll wait in the study,"
"Good morning," Purity greeted him.
"Good morning, I'm Daniel, his friend," Daniel introduced himself expecting her to follow the same format to give him a hint on who she was.
"I'm Purity," she said calmly with a smile.
He nodded and took the stairs. Denzel was used to having his meals alone or sometimes even miss meals but having company didn't seem bad.
"You stay alone here?" She asked and he nodded.
"This house is to big to be alone don't you think?"
"I'm used to that, but you will keep me company for a while?" He questioned and she chuckled.
"I think by now my dad knows I'm missing he must be looking for me,"
"I have never seen you, why is that yet you are part of the Wilson family?"
"I'm the family's shame, I don't like talking about it. Let's eat, you are not eating and your friend is waiting for you," she smiled urging him to eat.
After the meal he left her still eating and went to join Dan in the study.
"How is the man? Has he spoken?" Denzel asked.
"We haven't done anything to him, we were waiting for and that is why I'm here,"
"I'll be there tomorrow, the police are investigating more on the attack, did you leave any trace?"
"No, everything is under control. Who is that girl?" Dan questioned.
"I heard her tell you her name,"
"I know, who is she to you?"
"No one to me?"
"Is she one of your flings? You know it's dangerous for her to be here? Carl promised to do something, remember?"
"I'm supposed to be scared of Carl?"
"Not of Carl, but for her. She can easily be broken. Why are keeping her here if she is nothing to you? I don't want to meddle on your affairs but I have a question. Do have feelings for her?"
"I think I have given you so many privileges that are starting to get to your head. I met her yesterday and she was in bad shape, I only wanted to help her,"
"You need to be careful, she is pretty though and if it was just a one time help, she is fine now, allow her go home. One more thing, Vanessa is in love with you,"
"What nonsense is that?"
"She has been for as long as I remember and you know it. She has been crying downstairs after seeing you taking care of that strange girl,"
"Arrange a blind date for Vanessa, and I will take care of Purity myself," he instructed confusing Dan.
He has nothing to do with her yet he wants to take care of her?
"Is there something you àre trying to hide?" Dan arched his eyebrows at him.
Denzel didn't have a reply or maybe he didn't know what to say. "Why was he even helping her?" That was the same questions he has been asking himself since yesterday. "Maybe because she is too innocent for this wicked world," he thought trying to convince himself. "Stop talking nonsense, what could I be hiding or am I not supposed to help anyone?" He asked Dan back. "I didn't mean it that way just that your enemies won't think the same way, I will be on my way now I have something to sort out. Should I send a girl to your hotel room tonight?" "No, I'm not interested. Call me if it is urgent," he declined the offer and informed him.Dan nodded and walked out of the study. Denzel remained in the study thinking. He had to set his mind straight and know what he was really doing before things get out of hand. Purity took the plates to the kitchen and washed the dishes. She was finishing up drying the dishes when Denzel walked in. "You shouldn't have
"Just do your best," William responded getting up ready to leave. He had other things to do in line with finding his daughter.After he was gone, Andrew took his phone and called Denzel's number several times but he didn't pick. "Does that mean, she left the house?" He thought to himself as he dropped his phone on the table beside him.Denzel and Purity were watching a movie before Purity slept off. He wasn't really a fan of watching romance movies and didn't know why he even accepted to watch in the first place. He carried Purity to his room and laid her on the bed tacking her to sleep then he went to his laptop to work maybe they will try the challenge tomorrow when she is strong. Denzel was woken up by his ringing phone and for the first time he woke up at eight. He cursed himself as he quickly got down from the bed. "What is it Dan?" He asked heading to the bathroom. "Are you home?" Dan asked back. "I'm I supposed to be somewhere right now?"
"Son," Emily called out as he headed to his car and he stopped.She always called him that anytime he was angry something his mom never did and he wasn't surprised. "Don't drive in that state," "I'm fine, you will come over to the house," "I love you as my own," he smiled and she waved as he went into the car. Emily went back into the house and bumped into Millicent, Denzel's mom who was watching them through the window. "What did you give to my son?" She questioned her eyes digging boreholes into her skin. "Nothing ma'am," "What she gave him doesn't matter, he listens to you so tell her the benefits of marrying this girl," Wayne spoke. "Sir, I'm just a maid and in no position to tell him what to do," Emily replied facing down. "Wow, you got some guts. It seems you don't like your job. You have to options, convince him to marry her or lose your job," Ian his brother threatened and she looked up to face him.She has been work
Sitting up on the bed Purity was surprised to find herself on the bed, remembering quite well that she was on the couch waiting for him then she fell asleep. It only means he came back, where could he be? She got down from the bed, went to the bathroom and after she was done she went to check the closet for something to wear. "Maybe he forgot to get me the clothes he promised," she thought to himself taking one of his shirts to use. She took the stairs heading to the living room and he was there setting the table for breakfast. "Good morning, do you have guests?" She asked walking closer and he looked up to face her then chuckled. "I don't bring guests here and I don't cook for guests. I call someone to cook, I cooked for us," he shrugged. "Wow this is amazing, thank you," she smiled and appreciated. "What time did you come, I was waiting for you," she added. "I'm sorry but next time just go to bed don't wait up for me. Have a seat," he pulled up
Greg gave everyone twenty four hours to find Purity but seemed like she disappeared in thin light, no trace left. The surveillance cameras in the bar only showed her get in and the rest was deleted but the question was who did it and why? "Sir nothing about her was found, I think the attackers did something on the cameras to avoid being seen," One of his men reported and he dismissed him.He took his car keys and left for the family house, he would have called but there is a lot to be discussed about this. Maybe their enemy has her but how come nobody has called to make a demand?He wasn't in the mood for all the greetings to this morning, so he ignored all of them and headed for his father's room, meeting him reading a file. "Dad the doctor said you need rest to get strong faster," he told him sitting in the couch in the room. "Rest, I'm not working, I'm only going through a file. Any news about her?" "More reason why I came, it seems like the surveillance
"I appreciate everything you have been doing for me but I shouldn't get used to all this, this is not my home," Purity replied. "You can make this your home, what do you think?" He arched his eyebrows. "Sooner or later my grandpa will know I'm missing and you will be in deep trouble if they find me here," "You care about what happens to me?" "Yes, the same way you cared for me when you helped me. If not for anything at least I should return the favor," "After lunch, we will go to my pent house, then allow me handle everything," he said tasting the food. "How is it?" She asked nervously. "Let me eat, you should also eat to add weight, is that not what your friend said the day you talked to him?" "I would have wanted to talk to him but I guess by now they are tracking his every move," she shrugged. "Can you tell me more about your cousin, Georgina?" He requested. "She didn't study in the country and I rarely go to fam
"How did you know?" Wilson asked, he really didn't want to believe Sandy can go that far remembering the fact that he sends monthly allowance into her account. "Big bro don't be naive, you don't know what your daughter is capable of? You called Aaron to investigate the matter, he works for the family but he wasn't the one who found out Dave is connected to Sandy. Don't you know you are dealing with a criminal?" Wilson was using all the energy in him to keep calm but deep inside he was boiling in anger and wanted to strangle her to death. "Send me every detail of that guy and I will deal with him and you, I need my money sent to my account in the next two hours. No money will be sent to you for six months and you will not leave the house neither will you have your phone,"Sandy's face fell, she was grounded at a point where she needed her phone and money the most, in two hours where will she get $2M. The money was transferred to Dave's account and he wanted t
Drops of sweat were on her forehead with few strands of hair. He bent down on her level finding her cute with guilt in him. Guilty for leaving her alone in the big house that she had to sleep in the cold, but she is stubborn how could she sleep in the cold leaving all the comfortable beds in the house?He touched her face to wipe away the sweat and help push back her hair to find out she was burning with fever. "Damn it!" He cursed picking her up. Fear built up in him, fear that something bad may happen to her. Looking at her face it was clear that she cried herself to sleep making him blame himself for leaving and being the cause of his tears.Whatever she did on him, she surely did succeed. He laid her on the bed and rushed to the bathroom to get water and a towel.The last thing he needed now was to allow Vanessa into this house, he has just had enough of her and needs a new doctor, a male would be better this time.He wiped her with the wet towel till the temperature re
