Wayne Anderson

       "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?"

      "Vanessa called me that she has knocked on your door but nobody has responded. But that is not important, your dad called, he has been trying to get to you on the phone but to no avail...," Dan explained but he interrupted him.

       "Just go straight to the matter what is it?" He asked getting irritated.

Nothing good comes from his father's calls and that was why he didn't pick.

       "He wants you to attend a family dinner tonight. Your brother is back in town and your dad wants his whole family home," Dan informed him and he closed his eyes to calm himself. 

The old man had guts to still refer to him as family? Who does that? After treating him like the black sheep of the family, his brother always picked on him and nobody said anything now they miraculously became family?

       "Have heard," Denzel told Dan.

       "Will you be going?" 

       "Your work is to give me the information but what I do with it, is none of your business,"

     "I'm sorry, I have to go now," Dan hanged up. 

He wasn't angry, this was Denzel's character ever since they met and he wasn't surprised.

 Purity woke up and checking the time, she knew for a fact, he wasn't home. She made up her mind to cook her favorite for him while he is away as he didn't know his favorite.

As she was about to head to the bathroom, the bathroom door was opened and he walked out with only a towel round his waist.

        "Goo...good morning," she stammered. 

His tattooed, six pack chest with few droplets of water was tempting that she had to face the door. He chuckled at her reaction. 

        "You slept well?" 

        "Yes, I trust you did to,"

        "Yeah, do you feel any pain?" 

       "No, I'm fine,"

       "Give me few minutes, then I will apply the ointment,"

She nodded got down from the bed and rushed to the bathroom, washing her face. 

       "Control yourself Purity," she scolded herself walking to the shower. 

Coming out, he was already dressed and she sighed with relief. He handed her one of his shirts to use and with her slender body it was more like a dress top reaching her mid thigh.

       "I'll be going out in the evening, I will get you some clothes," he promised sitting beside her on the bed.

She was a bit uncomfortable as she has  never worn something so short but beggars can't choose, she just nodded.

        "Are you okay?" He asked.

        "I still have your hot image in my mind," she imagined herself saying.

       "I'm fine can I ask you a favor?"

      "If I can why not,"

       "If anybody from my family calls you can you please say you don't know my whereabouts except if its Andrew," she requested.

       "He is your boyfriend I guess,"

       "He is just my friend, the only friend I have ever had and that is why I know they will look for him. There is a possibility he may give you number, I used it to call him. My family is capable of tracking his phone,"

      "Sure no problem," he nodded and smiled.

     "Let me apply the ointment then order breakfast," he added.

      "Don't order, I'm strong enough to cook. That is the least I can do for you after allowing me stay in your house," 

The day went well and he did enjoy her company but he had to leave for the family dinner. He knew perfectly well that their was more to that dinner than a family reunion, the main reason why he was going was to find out. 

        "Should I tell Daniel to come and keep you company while I'm gone?" He inquired ready to leave.

         "What? I'm not a child, I will be fine. Go or you will be late," 

        "I'll try my best to come back in time," he promised picking his car keys. 

Once he was out, she locked the door and went to watch a movie.

It has been long since Denzel went back to his family house and alot had changed with a new set of maids except one. 

Emily has been working for them since he was a young boy and she was the only one he could talk to. 

He ignored all the greetings and headed to the kitchen to meet her. She was happy to see him after such a long time. 

         "Somebody remembered I exist," she feigned angry.

       "I can't forget you, I was just held but I'm here," he hugged her.

      "My boy, you are all grown and so handsome. I prepared your favorite," 

      "You don't say. I was told something about family reunion but I think I came quite early," 

      "Not really, your brother is in his room with his wife and your mom and dad are in the study with your wife to be,"

      "Wife to be?" 

      "You didn't know about it?" 

      "I knew this dinner had something more to it but wife to be, I never imagined," 

      "She is the only daughter of Gregory Li'endre Wilson and the second granddaughter of the Wilson family. Georgina Li'endre Wilson. If you ask me, marrying that spoilt girl is the worst mistake you can do in your entire life," she whispered the last part of her statement and he sighed.

         "How many daughters are in the Wilson family?"

        "Three, the first son has two daughters but the first one is not always in the limelight, I heard that she used to be sickling when growing up that she attended homeschooling. Then his second daughter her name is Sandy. She is always seen with the wife though they said she born by another woman. Then the second son, he has two boys and one girl, he is the one who runs most of the family business," she narrated to him.

       "The first granddaughter do you know her name?" 

       "I don't know, but I heard she was the old woman's favorite when she was alive and she even said that that girl must be present during the reading of her will but I overheard your dad say the girl didn't show up abd there is a probability that she may be missing," 

       "What? I'm hearing movements, I think they are downstairs. We will talk later, you should also come and me,"

       "My off is this weekend, give me the address and I will be there," 

He got a pen from his pocket and she handed him a piece of paper. He wrote down the address to his pent house and handed it back.

        "Thank you, I will come and cook for you," he chuckled heading out. 

As he closed the kitchen door, Georgina who was coming downstairs saw him and ran jumping on him, he pushed her of him immediately losing her balance and fell. 

One of the maids who was close helped her up and she was in tears. 

         "What is the meaning of that?" His dad yelled at him.

         "Meaning? I hope that question is not for me," he pulled a seat for himself.

        "So my dear brother hasn't changed? You should treat her right, she is your wife to be," 

        "You are starting to polish your comedy talent, I'm happy for you," 

        "Why am I here, we all know this dinner thing is just a show?" He asked his father.

        "I asked for you to be here to meet a new member of the family. She is Georgina your wife to be," his dad introduced and he laughed.

        "Dad if you are interested in having a second wife then go ahead and never use me as an excuse,"

       "Excuse me. She will be coming to your house tomorrow," 

       "Wayne Anderson if I see this lady hundred metres close to any of my properties, you will be responsible for anything that happens to her," 

        "Is that how disrespectful you have become?" Wayne yelled back.

        "Dare me," he threw the seat across the room and walked out, no one dared to stop him except Emily who ran after him.
