What did you say? Mills asked.My lord, Stella trembled, your wife is nowhere to be found. Mills stood up from his bed after hearing this news. His demeanor showed confusion.It’s a mansion, Stella, she might have wandered off. Ask the maids and ladies to search for her. Mills commanded.Even though Stella had asked all the maids and a few guards to search all the nook and cranny of the house before coming to mills, she scurried out of the room in other not to annoy Mills by saying she already had.Mills put on a shirt and marched out of his bedroom irritated at the possible childishness of his wife.He got to the main living room and sat down, thinking of all he would say to put her in her place when they found herA few hours later after he had become restless and there was no news as to his wife’s whereabouts and it was becoming obvious that Gabby was not in this large mansion, Mills himself joined in the search.It’s a large house, he kept thinking, she must be somewhere. Mills
The household spent the rest of the day ransacking the mansion. By the end of it, it was obvious the good wife of their beloved boss was definitely missing.They all went to bed on an empty stomach with more work to be done the following day and Olivia was no longer a member of the house.Mills refrained from making any conclusions, he was brewing with anger, if he made any rash decision now, it would be detrimental so he too decided to sleep on it even though what he did all night was pace around and wonder where his little woman had run off to. He knew she was tough, and very stubborn too, but she was far from her parent's home, the way back to them might be dangerous for her without an escort. He believed that if she was gone, then it had to be that she was on her way back to her parent's house.Mills sighed, seemingly satisfied with his speculations, he decided he would send Rolland and another guard to his little woman's parents' house before dawn.……..Back in Billoway, everythi
“How could she do this to me?” Olivia cried.“How did I manage to get fooled?” ““She lied to me, to my face.” “I thought I was her friend Stella, I can not imagine it, wake me up, please wake me up for I must be in a dreadful nightmare, Olivia lamented, feeling sad but above all feeling abandoned.” “Oh child, it is all too real, are you sure you truly have no idea about her whereabouts?” Stella asked.“Noo, for Chris's sake Noo, I do not.” “I am fond of her, I am, and now that I think of it, if the good lady had proposed for me to run away with her, I would have refused and rebuked her, although if she had persisted and I ran out of luck in changing her mind, then I would have run away with her,” Olivia explained.“Hush and say no more, the walls of this mansion sure have human ears, what if someone hears you and tells the boss?” Stella reprimanded.“What does it matter? I have been fired remember?”“I will beg on your behalf to the boss, he should at least let you work in one of
“This is as far as I go today lady, ya have to come down now,” the old fruit truck driver said to Gabby.It was late now, everyone who boarded the truck with them had alighted, with no money and no one to trust, gabby decided to stay with the old man who had given her a free ride.“Where are we?” Gabby asked.“Oh lady, are you running away?” “Where are ya headed to anyway?” The old man asked rubbing his mustache.“Errm, I’m on my way to Oak Townhill.” She replied.“And who is in Oak Townhill for you?”“My au..my aunt leaves there, she expects me,” Gabby replied as cautiously as she could knowing she was vulnerable.“My last supply is at Oaks, young lady, you have somewhere to stay for the night?”Gabby hesitated for a while before faintly nodding a no.The old man seemed lost in thought for a while before he responded.“Alright, I’ll drive us to a nearby hotel, you sleep in the truck while I book a room.” “Is that good enough for ya?”Gabby smiled for the first time. “Yes please, you
Jack came down from his car, embraced his partner Jack and they both walked into the hotel to go straight to business.“How’s your wife mill?” “Fallen in love ye?” Jack asked as they both sat down.“How are the girls?” Mills asked ignoring Jack's question.“Straight to business huh?” Such a bore. “Like I told you on the phone, I have them, wasn’t even hard too, I did the bare minimum, I just need to make sure you cleaned every trace of my involvement, I don’t like public attention.”“That’s not for you to worry about.” Jason replied. He motioned for his guard to drop a suitcase full of dollars to Jack who opened it and gasped even though he knew exactly what was inside the suitcase.“All this for me?” “ Awwwn,” “ mill’s darling you are such a sweetheart,” Jack teased, hoping to get a smile out of his friend whose face was ever stone cold.“Can I see the girls?” Mills asked. “Yeah, they are right upstairs, told your staff to cater for them, so they are in good shape too.” Jack said.T
“Hello Lukas, it’s good to see you.” The young lad greeted, genuinely happy to see Lukas, a friend who had given him a good sum of money to help a beautiful maid in distress.“Where’s your pa?” Lukas asked, going ahead of the boy and looking around at the barn the boy had come out of.“His away to supply his farm produce, and should be on his way back, I believe he should be back by tomorrow.” The lad replied.“Is everything alright?” “You seem so serious.”Lukas faced the young lad with a devilish look on his face. “Thing is.” Lukas began, your aunt suddenly wants to see you, i spoke with your pa already and he sent me to be the one to help him put you on the next ride to her. “Really? The boy seemed excited. “I’ve dreamed of seeing my aunt for the longest time and now she wants me to come over to her?” “Yes boy, as a matter of fact, you have to be on your way now,” Lukas replied.The clueless boy went ahead to gather some fruits and dried meat for the impromptu journey, he trusted
After they had buried old Papa and the heavy rain had subsided, they both began to walk back to the car in silence.“He had it coming, Lukas's accomplice says, he could have shot you, you should be grateful I took him out before he did.”“You fucking bastard, we weren’t supposed to kill him, what am I to tell the boss?” Huh? Lukas barked from behind his accomplice. He was furious.“I had a gun with me, but I didn’t use it, the old man would have never been able to pull the trigger,” Lukas continued, am so pissed right now.“I guess you have to come up with a story for the boss,” the accomplice replied.” “Yeah, I guess I have to come up with a story,” Lukas responded, retrieved his gun, and fired twice into his accomplice's head. The guy fell face flat on the ground, and as though the weather was on cue, thunder rumbled and it once again began to rain.Lukas cussed out the weather again and began to drag the dead body into the woods to bury it not so far from old Papa’s grave.He coll
It’s been a whole long week since Gabby went missing, Mills had to assign his men to look for his wife while he attended to urgent meetings that could not be disregarded because the woman he had married for less than two months had decided to run away. It pained Mills that his grandfather had made him take on this role of a husband, but even his grandfather would agree that work was more important than women.Mills had only gotten back to the mansion yesterday and was now preparing to go see his grandfather who had demanded to see him more than three days ago, Lukas was yet to report the incident that took place with the lad's father but had made it clear that they could not get anything out of the boy nor the old man, mills was irritant about the whole situation. Rolland had continued to search for her after it was obvious that she was not back to her parent's house, and Lukas had given him nothing.“I am more displeased with you than I imagined I would have been,” Mills said. “Am
