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 cameras stooped working twenty minutes before the attack and started working forty minutes later," Greg informed him.
"What?"
"Could it be one of our enemies has her?"
"She has never been in the limelight of the family. So many people don't know her let alone as part of this family, I don't think so. If it was Gina or Sandy, I would have thought in that direction but her, no way," the old man responded.
"Let's assume one of them has her, why haven't they called to threaten or demand anything?" He added.
It has been four days since she disappeared, and nobody has called, that made the situation more complicated. If this matter gets out, considering how she disappeared, alot would be put at stake.
"On my way here I have been thinking, this all seems like a plan and there is only one person who will tell us where she is,"
"You think Sandy knows?"
"Dad, I don't think, I know that. They have been enemies since childhood, it's normal if Sandy has a hand in all this. We all know what she is capable of doing,"
"Call Wilson to come with his family for dinner, your family should come to," he instructed.
"Ted won't make it, he went to deal with the project in the province but the rest will come,"
"He is really committed with business,"
"Of course dad, being the first grandson, he took it from you," Greg bragged.
"I'll take my leave dad," he walks out.
Purity was in the kitchen trying to fix lunch as she waited for Denzel to come back. He got a call from the office that something came up that he needed to deal with alone.
She heard a knock on the door but didn't act immediately. She has only seen two more people in the house apart from them and they don't knock seems like Daniel has the keys and she didn't expect to see Vanessa as she was okay and back on her feet again.
When she heard the knock the third time she headed to the living room to see who it was.
Looking through the door hole she saw Vanessa and though unwillingly she opened the door for her.
"Good afternoon," she greeted calmly but Vanessa walked past her and sat on the couch.
"Is Denzel in?" Vanessa asked scanning her with her eyes from head to toe.
"He went out but will be back in no time, you can wait for him," Purity suggested heading back to the kitchen, she was done cooking but needed to tidy up the place.
"I came to see him but it's also good he isn't here. Let's talk woman to woman, who are you? What are you doing here?"
Who she was? How does that concern her in the first place? Purity looked behind her just to make sure Vanessa was talking to her.
"I'm Purity," she introduced herself.
"What do you want from Denzel?"
"Nothing, he is my friend and he helped me out is there a problem?" Purity asked back.
"Cut the crap, Denzel doesn't have friends, he doesn't associate with females so answer my question and stop tempting me,"
"He doesn't associate with females and yet you are a female,"
"I'm his doctor and the only female in his life,"
"Then you are in the right position to ask him a this questions because I don't understand what you want to know,"
"Stop messing with my head and if you know what is good for you, leave this house after all you are well now, aren't you?" It was more of a statement than a question and the look in her eyes could kill and burry someone.
"I don't understand you, do we know each other from somewhere or do you just hate me for no reason?"
"Hate, hate is an understatement, I don't want to see you here,"
"As who?"
"Denzel's fiancee," Purity opened her mouth to speak as the door opened and Denzel walked in with some shopping bags.
"Yours," he said and handed the bags to Purity.
"Thank you, I was doing something inside, I will leave you guys to talk," she walked out as Vanessa remained behind clenching her fists in anger.
The shopping bags were from the best and most expensive boutique in town, seems like he spent a lot on her to get whatever it was he got for her. Yet she (Vanessa) has been with him for years and never for once has he gotten him anything even for appreciation.
"What are you doing here Vanessa?" Denzel asked in a cold voice. She didn't remember him using the same tone on Purity few minutes ago.
"I came to see if she has recovered or if their is a complication," she answered.
"If there was a problem don't you think I would have called you?"
"Sir don't take it wrongly, I didn't mean it that way,"
"Is there something you are supposed to tell me?" Denzel asked remembering what Dan told him about her.
"Sir...,"
"Vanessa you were at my house yesterday in the morning, you had something you wanted to tell me?"
"Who is that girl to you?"
"How is that any of your business?"
"I'm sorry sir, I'll be on my way now," she bowed and rushed out.
She really wanted to tell him how much she loved him but she was scared, scared that he may fire her and she will nolonger be close to him to see his handsome face.
Purity dropped the bags on the bed then went back to the kitchen to tidy up the place. After he was done with Vanessa he went to the kitchen to join Purity.
"You didn't get bored?"
"No, I'm fine, I'm used to staying in the house alone," she shrugged.
"You guys reached an agreement? You didn't tell me you had a fiancee," she added.
"Fiancee?"
"She told me you are her fiancee,"
"Really? Vanessa my fiancee? Don't mind what she said,"
"Lunch is ready, I will set the table immediately," she changed the topic.
"What did she tell you?"
"Nothing important some girl talk never mind,"
She picked the dishes and headed to the dining table.
"Come or have you eaten where you were?" She asked seeing him still at the same spot.
Denzel didn't buy anything Vanessa said and adding to what Dan had said he knew what she could do and he couldn't imagine Purity in harm's way.
"We will move to my pent house tomorrow, you will be safer there," he spoke pulling a seat for himself.
"It's fine, I have been thinking since I'm fine, I should stop burdening you and go home instead," she informed him and it immediately clicked.
He didn't need someone to tell him that this was Vanessa's doing.
"Why do you want to leave?" He asked maintaining eye contact with her to make sure he notices her reaction and expression not knowing he was making her uncomfortable.
How on earth was she going to tell him that Vanessa asked her to leave? She wasn't going to allow herself look like a coward but better the devil you know than the angel you don't.
She is used to Sandy, she knows how to deal with her but Vanessa seemed more dangerous, her eyes communicated more than her mouth uttered. She wasn't going to risk her life, she did enjoy Denzel's company but as always good things never stay with her.
"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
"There is no food in his fridge and you are scared to tell me? I know my son and I understand if there is no food, give me what is there," Emily said with a smile and she smiled back. "I was thinking if preparing some noddles that's what is available and there is milk, not forgetting water," "Give me the milk. I'll just call him as you get the milk for me," Emily said. "Ok mom," she responded as Emily walked out but she heard her quite well, she called her mom, could she br the girl he is in love with? No way, she should have known. She won't mind if this lady becomes his wife, she looks better than the rude, proud and arrogant girl they brought home for him. "I'm in the house and there is no food, are you on a mission of starving someone's daughter to death?" Emily asked immediately he picked. "Hey, who am I starving to death?" Denzel asked back. "This pretty damsel in your house, a is she anyway?" "I'm on my way home and I'm coming w
It was too tempting, what he will benefit from Wilson family is mouthwatering and knowing his son perfectly it will be hard convincing him, how will they survive without money? "Let me see the document," Wayne requested with a calm voice, he can't lose everything in one day.Denzel has always been fast with the computer and he quickly typed a document with all the conditions he wanted, put in his electric signature, printed it out and handed it to her.Reading the document, Wayne was shocked, there was no room for negotiation and if he goes against the contract he loses including the house, the cars and any privileges they got from being his family. "What is this?" "Last I checked, you understand English perfectly so are you in or out?" "I'll be losing everything because of your good? Do you know what you will benefit by marrying from that family?" "You lost right over my life long ago so what I do with my life is nolonger your business. If I get mar
How was he supposed to explain to her that two bottles can't have that great of an impact on him and all he wanted was to ask her without questions.In his life every person he held dear just disappeared and he wanted an assurance that if he opens his heart to her, she won't leave. "Some work matters, I only wanted to get my mind from all the stress," He lied. "Come and sit hear," she requested patting beside her and he did. "Ever since I came into your house, you have made sure am comfortable. I know maybe you don't trust me that much to tell me your company problems, but I'm not stupid, I can help you. If anything is disturbing you, alcohol is not a solution, they say a problem shared is a problem half solved. You can share it with me at least I won't tell anybody, we are just the two of us in this house. Friends are supposed to have each other's back, you have always had mine, let me have yours," she added.He looked at her and smile though it was forced, he didn't wa
Sandy was confused since she woke up all she was receiving were glares that for a moment she thought she had died and she was receiving those glares from angels who were shocked to see her in heaven after everything she had done but when the door opened and Dave was brought in with two guards, the heat in the room changed.Dave stood before all of them with his head bowed awaiting judgement. "What do you have to say about that thing growing in her?" Greg asked and Sandy felt like she was just dipped on ice. "What thing?" Dave asked not wanting to believe what he was thinking was true. "Young man, I hate repeating myself, what do you know about that pregnancy?" "Nothing sir," Greg laughed. "Wilson you see," Greg commented sarcastically. "According to our family, no child is born out of wedlock and since you are man enough to impregnate a girl then you are man enough to take care of your responsibility. Your wedding will be at the end of the month and
He stares at her picture on his phone and smiles. He took the picture yesterday unawares and it was a good capture. For the first time in his life he had this wonderful and fun weekend in the house. Unfortunately Emily had to leave so early to go back to work but Purity was still there. Someone knocked on the door disrupting his thoughts and his expression changed. "Come in," he said and his secretary entered the office. "What is it Alex?" "Sir, a granddaughter from the Wilson family is here to see you," Alex responded. "Her name?" Denzel asked though he knew who it was. He just wondered if that lady understood English because last he checked he warned her from coming any close to his property. "Georgina Wilson," "Let her in," Denzel authorized and he bowed walking out.Georgina cat-walked into the office her head raised high. "What do you want?" He questioned in a cold voice startling her. "I came to see you," "What do you want f
