Vanessa sat on the couch with Mara on her thigh. “ Are you hungry?” She asked and Mara nodded her head. “ I’m so Hungry, they didn’t give me any food Today” Mara cried. “ What do you want to eat?” Derek asked her, he was so mad that those traitors didn’t even give her something to eat. “ Food” Mara said and he left for the kitchen. “ Baby, Do you know who took you from your room?” Vanessa asked but Mara didn’t know. “ No” She said. “ Is it Mandy?” Vanessa asked again. “ I don’t know” She said. Vanessa hugged her again and again, “ I missed you so much baby. Thanks for coming back to me” Vanessa said sobbing. An hour later, Mara’s energy was restored. She ate a lot from the food and Vanessa cleaned her up and changed a dress for her. She was still in the pajamas they took her with. Vanessa lay on the bed with Mara holding on to her, she couldn’t be more happier. “ Mummy, why are you in Uncle Derek’s house? Where’s Daddy?” Mara asked innocently. “ I packed out of that house Baby,
Alfred returned back to the hotel, he was shocked, Confused, Angry and devastated. He couldn’t believe what the man told him at The CBI, He threw the papers on the bed and sighed deeply.“ This is unbelievable, oh God please I hope this is just a dream. Yes it’s a dream, I’ll just wake up and everything would be back to normal” He nodded his head. “ Who an I kidding, this isn’t a dream it’s the reality” Alfred closed his house. “ What Should I tell Vanessa, how would I even tell her?” He picked up his phone to call her but dropped it again. “ Things would get worst even if I tell her now, I’ll wait until we found Mara” He Agreed with his decision. “ Or maybe I should give her a call and ask where she is” He dialed her number and it started ringing. “ please answer” Vanessa didn’t answer the phone, he tried again but she didn’t answer the call and when he tried for the third time, her phone was switched off. “ Oh Vanessa, I’m so sorry. Please Answer my call” He tried again but it
“ Mummy, why did we run?” Mara asked her. “ Because… Because he came” She said and Mara Chuckled. “ We shouldn’t have ran away, we should have stayed here” She folded her arms. “ Why? He will force us to go with him if he sees us here” Vanessa said worriedly. “ But we won’t go even if he force us. We don’t want to live in his house again and we don’t want to see him” Vanessa felt sorry for Mara, Mara loved her Daddy so much but she was acting brave because of her. “ I’m Sorry Mara, I know you love your Daddy and you want to live with him” She said and Mara smiled. “ It’s Okay Mummy, I just want you to be happy and besides, I don’t want to be kidnaped again. It was terrifying” She said and Vanessa smiled. “ I’ll never let that happen again, Come here” She stretched her arms and Mara Hugged her. “ I love you so much Mummy and I want you to be happy” Mara said and Vanessa Smiled. “ I know baby and I love you too” ---“ I wonder where the Boss slept last night” The Assistant said
“ I don’t think it’s only because of her” Mandy Bit her lower lip. “ What do you mean?” she asked Mandy. “ I think he left the house to look for Vanessa and her daughter” Mandy covered her mouth but it was too late, she didn’t want Grandma to find out Alfred had a child or her plan will be spoiled. “ A child? Whose child? The lady have a child?” She asked but Mandy didn’t answer again. Grandma turned to Bella and Mary who were standing closer to the kitchen and gestured to them to move closer. “ That lady have a child?” She asked and Bella nodded her head. “ Who’s the father of the child?” She asked but Mandy signaled to them not to say a word about that. “ I’m talking to you!” She yelled at them and they fell on their Knees. She looked at the Assistant who was Praying she shouldn’t ask him. “ Answer me, you are his Assistant and must know everything!” She yelled at him. “ It’s his child” The Assistant Said in fears. “ Who?” Grandma asked just to be sure of who he was referring
“ I’m Sorry for the Boss, I just wish she could give him a chance to do whatever he likes. She’s controlling his life and he’s no more a kid” Bella sighed. “ I hope she doesn’t find Vanessa” “ Talking about Vanessa, Have they found Mara?” Bella asked. “ Who knows, maybe Vanessa have found her” The Assistant said and Mary sighed. “ I hope so” She said sadly. “ Poor thing but now that Vanessa isn’t in the house again, Do you think the person that took her would return her back to Vanessa?” She asked them and Mary Chuckled. “ What do you mean, do you know who took Mara?” She asked. “ I’m suspecting two people. It’s either Mandy or his ex girlfriend Kiara. You guys saw the way Kiara behaved when she saw Vanessa here” She said. The Assistant and Mary exchanged glances, they looked at Bella who was so sure of what she said. “ But I heard Kiara has left the town and she promised never to come back to his life again” The Assistant said. “ And you believe her? She might be out of town
“ Alfred” She called and he opened his eyes. “ What do you want?” He asked her. “ I.. I’m Sorry” She apologized. Alfred closed his eyes again “ Just leave, I don’t want any disturbance” He said but Mandy wouldn’t leave. “ Are you crying?” she asked him when he Sniffed. “ Alfred, you are crying. Is it because you missed Vanessa or Because you can’t find Mara?” She asked him. He Cleaned his face and sat upright. “ Mandy, please Release Mara” He pleaded. “ I swear Mara isn’t with me, I don’t know who took her” Mandy said and Alfred Sighed. “ Just leave my room” He lay down again and closed his eyes. “ I’m Sorry Alfred, I didn’t mean to put you through this. I told Grandma because you and Vanessa wouldn’t stop Accusing me” She Said sadly. “ Just go if you don’t have anything else to say” Mandy stood up from the bed and left the room looking so sad. She blamed herself for what Alfred was going through and wished she could do something to make him Happy. ---They were in the kitche
“ Do you know Alfred has a child?” Grandma Couldn’t still believe what she heard from Alfred’s house, she called the eldest Uncle who was her second Son after Alfred Father. Grandma was so Angry and she decided to ask him if he knew anything about it. He was so scared when she called him on the phone to come meet him, He knew he was in for it if it’s Anything related to Alfred. “ Answer my question” Grandma said and he looked at her, his hands were shaking and so he hid them under the table as he sat on the floor. “ Mum I…I…” He Stammered.

“ Where have you been?” Mary who was standing on the corridor asked immediately he came out from the Car. “ The Boss sent me” He lied.

How would you explain that?” She asked him. “ Oh My God, he asked of me?
