Did you kill her?

"What do you mean you haven't found her??" he asked in a demanding tone standing up from his chair and walking towards his assistant, who had his head bowed down from fear of meeting his angry eyes.

"I'm so sorry sir, it's been confirmed that she passed out at a subway station and was rushed to the hospital two weeks ago, I've also confirmed that during her time there she was confirmed three weeks pregnant...but ever since she left the hospital that day we haven't seen a trace of her. She didn't even go for her antenatal care." he explained still not lifting his head to look at him.

"If it's been two weeks since she was confirmed three weeks pregnant, that's a total of five weeks now, right?!?" He questioned standing in front of him and looking more intimidating than ever.

"Yes sir, which means the baby she's carrying is likely to be yours" he stated.

"Likely?!? No Chris, I'm very sure the baby is mine. That will explain why she's been off the grid since then, she must know that I'm searching for her, that's why she's hiding. You must find her, Chris, there's no way I'm letting my child bear another man's name," he stated while placing his hands on Chris's shoulder.

"You have to help me, Chris, if I decide to find her myself, I might spill blood, and that's why my grandfather hired you as my assistant, right?!? To stop me from doing that, like hiring you would stop me," he stated while giving a menacing smirk, "so help me. You need to find that woman at all costs." He pleaded, but his pleading sounded more like an order. He released Chris's shoulder and went back to his seat to light a smoke.

"Yes sir...I'll do my best. I won't stop until I find her" he affirmed while turning to leave the office. On his way out a thought crossed his mind.

Did the cold-hearted Mr. JIMMIE HENDRIX fall in love? Why does he want to find this woman so badly?!? Is it only because of the baby?!? But when did he ever care about kids?

Finding out will only give me a headache, I'd better go do my job.

"Are you sure it wasn't you and Sophie who set her up with the man at the hotel?" Ethan's mother asked him with a stern look on her face.

"What?!? Mom, what are you talking about? Why would I..." He was cut short by his mom

"Oh, please, you can't fool me, I know you and Sophie have been going out before and even after you got married to Samantha." Ethan couldn't form a reply; he didn't think anyone would know about him and Sophie's affair.

"Mum...I..." His mum came closer to him on the chair they were both sitting on and placed her hand on his.

"Don't worry my son...I won't tell anyone about it, it's not like I have anyone to tell about it anyway. I'm in support of this relationship, you made a great choice by deciding to date your boss's daughter Is this some strategy to go up the ladder or do you love her?" she asked while beaming a smile at her son.

"Mum how did you find out about Sophie and me? We made sure to be very secretive about it" he questioned still confused as to how his mother found out.

"Sammy told me..." She stated plainly like she didn't just drop a bomb that could ruin Jessy's friendship with Sophie and also their marriage.

"WHAT!!!???, Sammy knew about us?!? But then why didn't she say anything...but how?!?" Ethan was confused, there was a look of horror written on his face. He searched his mother's eyes for answers

"Of course she doesn't know...there was a day she complained to me about you always working late and how she wants to talk to Sophie if she could do anything to help you, and you told me you finished at work by six so you going home late...it had to be something else stopping you from going home. So I hired someone to follow you around and they showed me tons of pictures of you and Sophie in her house, in hotels, bars, restaurants. Trust me, I have a lot of them." She listed while taking sips of her coffee, "but why do you look so scared anyway, you don't still consider Sammy your wife, do you?!? If you still do, you'd better stop now because there's no way I'll let you continue a marriage to that cheating woman. And even if she finds out about your affair what can she do about it" she added.

"Wow, mum!! You are amazing. But where did you get the money to even hire someone to do all this stuff? Because as far as I remember we don't even have a penny in our names and we've been surviving on my salary so far" he queried in a suspicious manner

"Oh didn't I tell you, I started a very legitimate business...and it's paying off. I'll be sending you the divorce papers next week, so make sure to sign them and send them back to me," she said with a sinister smile appearing on her face.

"Mum, you look scary when you do or say stuff like that," Ethan said while moving a little away from her on the chair they were seated on.

"Whatever...now whatever it is you are doing with Sophie just continue, that might be our only way to become wealthy once and for all. You can even get her pregnant while at it to make sure she can't escape your grasp. How dare that slut, Sammy, how dare she cheat on my son and bring the baby to my house...I'll take care of her you have nothing to worry about" she added while taking more sips of her coffee

"Where is she anyway?...you said to drop her off two weeks ago and she never came back home, and I've been here for over two hours now and I haven't seen a trace of her" Ethan asked more out of curiosity and not concern.

"You don't need to worry about that...I told you I'll take care of her" she said, still not ready to divulge Sam's whereabouts, now this made Ethan shiver a little on the inside.

"Umm...mum...you didn't kill her did you?!?" He asked, looking back to see if there was anyone there, even if it was only the two of them in the entire house.

"I mean, I don't mind if you do, but please make sure you are very discreet about it, because if you get caught, I won't be visiting you in jail."
