“ you have a lot of works ahead of you” She turned to leave and she saw Alfred watching her from the veranda upstairs. He smiled at her and she Scoffed “ He’s been standing there without saying a word. I wonder what kind of a Boss he is that he won’t even control his house” Vanessa shook her head and went back to the kitchen. She entered the kitchen and stood beside Bella who was cutting the Carrots, Vanessa cleared her throat and Bella looked at her. “ Thank you ma’am” She said and Vanessa smiled. “ It’s okay Bella, I’m sorry that’s the only thing I can do” She apologized. “ You did a lot for me, Thank you so much” She thanked Vanessa. “ Don’t worry okay, you won’t lose your job” She looked at Mary. “ None of you will lose your jobs” they nodded their head. “ But ma’am Vanessa, please be careful with Mandy, she’s a Dangerous girl” Mary said and Vanessa smiled. “ Just forget about her, She’s not up to my match” she said and they all laughed. An hour and some minutes later, the f
“ Just forget about him and enjoy yourself in the Billionaire’s home” Derek Advised. “ Yea that’s what I’ll do but there’s another problem. Not even one” She sat upright on the bed to gist him. “ A girl came days ago claiming she’s his girlfriend, I heard she was his girlfriend until his Grandma separated them because she’s a model” Vanessa said and Derek Chuckled. “ what does her career have to do with her Love?” He asked but Vanessa didn’t have an answer to that. “ I don’t know either” She said. “ then what about the second problem?” He asked her. “ I think this is the worst of it all. Another girl who calls herself his girlfriend moved in to the house today” She said and he gasped. “ And you didn’t do anything about it?” He asked. “ no, she’s his cousin. We’ve been in problems since she moved in hours ago. I’m tired of living here, Derek. I just want to return back to your house” Vanessa said sadly. “ Hey don’t even think about coming here because there’s no room for you. Sta
Few minutes later, the meeting started and he left for the hall. Alfred couldn’t concentrate on the meeting so we’ll because his mind was at home. He wanted to go home quickly and share the Good news with Vanessa that Kiara was out if his life for Good. The meeting took longer than he expected and head no choice than to stay until they were done. 7:30pm, The meeting was over. Alfred didn’t stay to exchange greetings with the Delegates sent from The Wendy’s, he was also glad that they didn’t send the Nala the last born of the Family. He quickly left the office because his Assistant didn’t come with him to the company. He entered the house beaming with smile and saw Mandy coming out from Mara’s room. He looked at her from head to toe and Chuckled, Mandy was wearing a short tight skirt with a sleeveless crop top, her belly button was outside and she was wearing a black high heel shoes. “ You are back” She smiled happily when she saw Alfred. “ What were you doing there?” He asked
“ Mandy” He said u der his breath. Mandy didn’t come out of her room when everyone was looking for Mara. She heard their voices but she was so tired from staying out late the previous night. “ Where is Mara” Alfred asked in anger immediately he barged in to her room. “ Why are you asking me that question?” She asked him sitting upright. “ Where did you take her?” He yelled at her and Mandy Chuckled. “ Hey, stop yelling at me. I don’t know what you are talking about” She rolled her eyes. “ And you should have knocked on my door and not barged in like that. I don’t like it” Alfred was getting more and more Angrier, he moved closer to the bed and grabbed her ear. “ Tell me where my daughter is or I’ll get you arrested” He threatened her. “ Did Vanessa told you to come threatened me? I don’t know where Mara is” She said in pains. “ Do not accuse Vanessa of what she doesn’t know, tell me where Mara is and I’ll pretend this never happened” He said calmly. “ or what? What would you do
“ You are interrogating my maid After what I said to you? Are you suspecting me or what?” Mandy asked, she looked at Mona who was shedding tears and hissed. “ And what do you think you are doing?” She yelled at her. “ I…I’m sorry ma’am” Mona apologized. “ Get inside now!!” She commanded and Mona ran inside. “ Stay away from me and my maid” She warned Alfred and returned inside. “ Mandy is surely behind this” Alfred Nodded his head. Tow days passed by but all search for Mara proved abortive. The house became so silent Asif there were no people living there, Alfred was always outside looking for Mara. Vanessa didn’t know where to go looking for Mara and so she stayed at home crying and praying. Alfred had asked and pleaded with Mandy Several times but Mandy stood on her words, he still didn’t believe her because she was the only person that left and returned home that night. Vanessa was sitting down on the floor in a crouch position, She was sobbing. If only she knew that would h
“ Vanessa, calm down. Do not cry again, We’ll surely get Mara back from her. All we have to do is to keep an eye on her” Derek said and Vanessa nodded her head. “ I agree with you, I don’t even trust her” She sighed. “ Let’s go” Vanessa said and they left the room. They went back to the sitting room and Derek sat on the sofa. “ Do you need anything?” She asked him. “ Just water please” He said and Vanessa Chuckled. “ Okay” She entered the kitchen, Bella and Mary were there. They watched Vanessa as she brought out a bottle of water from the fridge, she took one glass cup from the rack and left the kitchen. “ Oh poor thing, I Really feel for her” Bella said sadly. “ Yes I feel for her too, whoever did this to her will never find peace” Mary said sadly too. “ I hope so too. But why would someone Kidnap a little girl? Doesn’t he or she have a heart? Mara doesn’t know anything” Bella sighed. “ But aren’t you suspecting Mandy?” Mary asked her and she shushed her. “ Keep your voice dow
“ And who told you Mandy is behind this? Your suppose Boyfriend I think” He Snapped. “ wow! Stop pretending you don’t know she’s behind this. I’ve been observing you all this while, you are always going to her room. What are you doing there? Are you having an affair with her or you are interrogating her?” Vanessa asked and he became speechless, he didn’t know Vanessa Was observing him all those while he was going to Mandy. “ Mandy is my sister and I have the right to go to her room” He said and she Laughed. “ But why did you start going to her room when Since Mara got missing? You know what, I’m so fed up already. Tell your sister to give me my daughter and we’ll be out of your lives. You don’t deserve us, I made a mistake by agreeing to stay with you” Vanessa said in tears and left the room Angrily. “ You can go wherever you want to go I don’t care!” He Said after her. Vanessa ran to the room, she locked herself in and started crying.----“ This is becoming serious” Mary said to
“ I know Mara will return, they’ll bring her back” She said and he nodded his head. “ Yes I know that too. Do you want to eat your food here while you wait for her?” He asked and she nodded her head. Derek went inside the room , he carried the plate of Noodles and a juice and came out of the house. “ Here, make sure you eat everything” She took it from him and started eating. “ I’ve missed your food a lot” Vanessa Said and he smiled. “ Really, I know. I’m the best chef ever” They both laughed. “ It’s good seeing you laugh again” Derek said. They stayed outside for hours but no sign of Mara, It was already late in the night and everywhere was so Cold. “ Vanessa, let’s Go inside” Derek said standing up. “ But what if She comes back after we went Inside?” She asked him and he smiled. “ I don’t think they’ll bring her back Today, She will come back to you tomorrow” He persuaded her but Vanessa wouldn’t listen. He kept on and on and at last, she followed him inside the house. ----Next
