Waking up in the morning both Wilson and Rita were expecting to find Purity back as the door was left open but she didn't come back.
Rita got scared, remembering what she found out yesterday, being worried was an understatement.
The day was here, they needed to go for the will reading, she couldn't report to the police as it wasn't upto twenty four hours since she disappeared.
"You mean she isn't back?" Wilson asked as they were having breakfast.
"I wonder where she could have gone," Rita replied.
"Sandy, is there something we need to know?" Wilson asked her.
"Of course not dad, I don't know where she went,"
"I have seen on the internet about the attack at the bar down the street. Did you send her to buy you drinks?" Wilson asked.
"That is a grave accusation. Sandy doesn't drink," Rita intervened.
"You are telling me or are you trying to assure yourself?" Wilson arched his eyebrows and she too was taken aback.
She wasn't sure but it seemed like both reasons were true.
"Just be praying she comes back safe and sound before I start rethinking of you being my daughter,"
"Honey, those words are harsh she is still a child. You want to find her and the fact remains we are going to be humiliated by Greg,"
"Let me remind you that, that same girl you mistreat because of money and wealth is still your daughter. Another thing if you must know, my mom left her the whole hospital and that is why she must be at the will reading and the thirty percent of the company is under her name to. I think you know the way to the family house," Wilson got up and walked out leaving both of them shocked.
Rita shocked because she didn't expect the old woman could give such a young girl a big hospital. It is the biggest and best private hospital in the country.
Sandy was shocked because nothing was left for her. Why was she treated differently, they wanted a strong child and she has proven to everyone beyond doubt that she is a fighter, why then leave her with nothing.
That thought alone grew the hate she felt for Purity, everything seemed to be going her way without putting in a fight.
"Hurry up, let's go," Rita urged her but she had already lost her appetite.
"I'm full mom, let's go," she responded getting up from the seat and for the first time, she carried her plate to the kitchen.
She needed to impress her mom to be helped as there is nothing you won't expect at the family house. Every rich family comes with a handful but the Wilson's came with two handfuls.
Rita picked the car keys and led the way outside. The drive to the family house was quiet as both minds were thinking in different directions. Getting into the house, everyone was seated and they were the last to arrive.
Due to old age and poor health, the old man had a nurse beside him, just in case something happened to him.
"Good morning Dad," Rita greeted and all he did was nod.
"Good morning grandpa," Sandy greeted with a bow.
"Where is she?" The old man asked ignoring Sandy's greetings. He didn't need to mention names for them to know who he was referring to.
"She can't come today, I'm sorry dad," Rita apologized.
"Or maybe because you are embarrassed to show her to the world and think an illegitimate child will cover you up?" Greg chipped in, sarcasm in his voice.
He has never accepted Sandy as part of the family and maybe never will as according to him, in there family nobody is allowed to have two wives let alone having a child with another woman.
"According to Mrs. Magi's last wish, her first granddaughter must be present during the reading of her will," the lawyer said.
"The will won't be read until she is here. The meeting is cancelled till then," the old man said in a low but authoritative voice.
"Wilson, I thought you knew about this, your daughter was supposed to be here, why then waste our precious time?" Greg asked.
"I apologize for the waste of time, I will make sure she is present during the reading next time," Wilson apologized.
The old man looked at him then faced the nurse.
"I want to go in," he instructed her and was helped in leaving everyone there.
"Attention seekers, always wanting the world to revolve around your family. A simple thing, bring your daughter, you can't, now you have spoilt our precious time," Greg said getting up from his seat and walked out.
Wilson and the lawyer left as well. Greg didn't come with his family and Rita was left with Sandy in the living room.
"Do you know where that guy lives?" Rita asked Sandy.
The way things are going, the only way she could be at peace is if she finds Purity and puts an end to everything.
"Which guy?"
"The one you said is dating Purity,"
"No mum, I don't know his place but we can go to the bar later and find out about him,"
"Do you know his name?"
"No mum but I know his face. If I see him, I will know him," Sandy assured and Rita nodded.
Opening her eyes, Purity finds herself in a strange room. She didn't need a sooth seer to tell her that this was not her room.
The door opened and Denzel, dressed in all black walks in as the images of the guys in black entering the bar flash into her mind freaking her out.
"Please don't hurt me, allow me go home and I swear you will never see my face. I'm already a dead meat," she rushed her words and all he did was stare.
"What do you want from me? I don't have anything to offer," she asked after a while.
"What were you doing in the bar at such a time?" He asked in a calm voice. Since yesterday he has been having that question in his mind.
"My sister sent me to buy drinks for her, she does that every Sunday evening. Please allow me go, they will kill me,"
"I won't hurt you and I can't allow you go,"
"My mom will find me, I don't want to land you into trouble. Thank you for helping me out,"
"What's your name?"
"Purity Wilson,"
"Wilson sounds farmiliar. Get well first then we will talk about that," he walked out not giving her an opportunity to say another word.
Just as she was about to lay on the bed and rest, she remembered the interview she was supposed to go to.
Checking around the room there was no way she could find out the time. She got down from the bed, limped to the door, opened it and walked out.
She limped to the first door on her left and knocked.
"Come in,"
She pushed the door open and Denzel was on the bed doing something on his laptop.
"Is there a problem?" Denzel asked.
"Sorry to disturb you, what's the time?"
"Eleven fifteen,"
"I missed the interview,"
"You want to go for an interview in your state?"
"You won't understand, that is a life changing opportunity,"
"The Wilson family have a company, I don't think you need an interview to work in your family company,"
"Can you help me with a phone to call my friend, please," she pleaded changing the topic.
She wanted to call Andrew, to know if he is fine and tell him that she is fine. She knew for sure that he must be worried sick about her by now.
Denzel took his phone from the bed and stretched it to her.
"Thank you so much," she appreciated with a smile showing her well set milk like teeth and her cute dimples.
He faced his laptop to avoid the thoughts that had started coming into his mind.
Though she wanted to leave the room, it was painful walking around and she didn't think the call would take that long.
Andrew picked the call after the third ring.
"Hello, Andrew," she called out.
"Hello, who is this?" He questioned.
"It's me, Purity," she introduced herself.
"Purity, where are you? Are you safe? Were you hurt?" He rushed his questions.
Though he was worried, he felt a bit relieved hearing her voice. When he couldn't find her early in the wards, he thought something bad had happened to her.
"I'm fine, I don't know where I am? Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yes, don't worry about me. I'm in hospital but if you find out where you are just give me a call and I will come for you,"
"Thank you so much, can you help me find out if my dad has looked for me? I know my mom doesn't have that time and Sandy is having a victory dance," she requested.
"I will but if you ask me, don't go back home now till you are fully strong," he suggested.
"How will that be possible? No person will allow a stranger in his house for a long time and I missed the interview, that is my home and I will have to go back," she shrugged forgetting he couldn't see her.
"Recover first then we will talk, use this time to relax away from all the family trouble. Forget about all your troubles and add some weight. You are so thin, for my liking," he joked and she laughed.
"In somebody's house?" She asked after the laugh.
"If he or she was a bad person, don't you think he would have hurt you yesterday when you were vulnerable?" Andrew asked and she turned to face Denzel who looked like he wasn't listening to her.
He looked so handsome to be dangerous or so she thought.
He had lost everything so there is nothing he could lose now that will hurt him. "We'll see about that, time will tell," he responded. It didn't mean he was trusting her but giving her the benefit of the doubt won't be that bad, he had even planned to run away with the child immediately it's born and even leave the country so if she gives him or not, he will leave. "I'll be in my room," she walked out. Finally the awaited day was here, everybody who beared Wilson as the surname was seated in the living room waiting for thel lawyer to arrive. Since that day the images were still fresh in her mind and everytime she remembered she was legally tired down to him, it hurt her more.Heaven knew she had done her best in acting to be fine and she should actually win the award of the best actress of the year. Denzel broke her into pieces she didn't know if she will ever recover and to add on that she hadn't been feeling well.She didn't want to be here but according to Papa that wa
To pass time they had to go do some shopping but it was boring as nobody talked to the other unless need be. "Why are you silent? What happened in there?" Purity decided to break the silence not wanting Gina to suspect anything. "He didn't forgive me," "Was it because I burged into you guys? I'm so sorry," "It's okay, I actually wanted you to do that. Everything is fine. Let's just go home we will come back next time to do some shopping," Gina said walking towards the counter to pay for what she had picked.Denzel tried so many times to call purity but she didn't pick neither did she respond to his messages.He couldn't concentrate on his work anymore as all he could see was that face filled with shock and those eyes that were teary breaking his heart.As Purity walked into her room, she locked the door behind her then dropped on the floor in tears, her heart was busting with everything she had persevered the whole way. He lied to her and broke her heart into a
Not wanting to get her angry, he decide to wake her up. It won't be a good idea going with her without her consent. "Princess," he called her gently several times till she opened her eyes "We are here," he announced and she rubbed her eyes looking outside. "What's the time?" "Three," he responded. "I have to go," He took a bottle of water and handed it to her. "Thank you," she appreciated, took her handbag and removed her hair brush. He took it from her and brushed her hair. "Let me know once you get home," he said and she nodded. "You can go, nobody is around," he told her.It's always hard to say goodbye and he never thought it will happen to him. He removed the chain on his neck and wore it on her. "It's beautiful," "Never take it of," She nodded, he kissed her and opened the door helping her down, she waved and started walking away and he started driving the car at a low speed till she entered the gate then he drove off.
She flipped her eyebrows then closed her eyes embarrassed, what her mind was thinking, she also couldn't believe herself.She couldn't think straight and all the questions she wanted to ask him just evaporated through the window, she also wanted to tell him to stay away but didn't think it was okay again. He was about to kiss her when a car horned behind them reminding him that he wasn't really out of the road. He got off her making her frustrated but he only smiled getting down from the car to move, he didn't want be interrupted later but she was angry and wanted to get out and leave.Greg was heading to the family house and he saw Denzel going to drive off, he wanted to go and talk to him but his wife stopped him. "What are you going to do?" His wife asked. "Talk to him, he treated our daughter so badly and since then I have not been able to talk to him," he responded. "Let the sleeping dog lie, we both don't know what he is doing around this area, he has never b
Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours as he waited for her response but she didn't reply. At around midnight, he couldn't hold it anymore, he dialed her number.Remembering she tried to reach out to Andrew but couldn't talk to him, she thought it was him when she walk to the ringing phone and saw a new number. "Hello," she said sounding sleepy and he felt happy hearing her voice even though it was nolonger close to him. "You are still awake at this time, do you miss me," he flirted and her heart stopped pumping blood.What was she thinking, that she would just leave and everything will go back to normal? Seems she was wrong. "Stop calling me," in her mind she said it so boldly and courageously like she meant it but who was she kidding, her voice let her down and he chuckled. "Are you sure about that?" He asked making her start doubting herself.Was she sure he wanted him to stop? She hasn't been able to sleep well since she laid her head down all because
Sitting on the bed, Purity couldn't help but miss him. Was it a rational decision that she made? What if she listened to what he had to say? "He is a murderer," she comforted herself. "Why don't you report him to the police if he really is a murderer?" Her subconscious mind asked her and she sighed.She loves him so much that she didn't think she could see him suffer in the hands of the police let alone being locked up.And what if they jail an innocent man? She wasn't even sure if he was the one that murdered those men that were laying on the floor. There were other people around who even had guns but he didn't. "Did I judge him so quickly?" She asked herself. "But he was beating up someone and he had so much blood on himself," her subconscious mind reminded her and she laid on the bed facing the wall. Come to think of it, her family aren't saints, if she starts counting the offences her family members have done, then it will take ages before she complete
