“ 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
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
