Waking up in the morning both Wilson and Rita were expecting to find Purity back as the door was left open but she didn't come back.
Rita got scared, remembering what she found out yesterday, being worried was an understatement.
The day was here, they needed to go for the will reading, she couldn't report to the police as it wasn't upto twenty four hours since she disappeared.
"You mean she isn't back?" Wilson asked as they were having breakfast.
"I wonder where she could have gone," Rita replied.
"Sandy, is there something we need to know?" Wilson asked her.
"Of course not dad, I don't know where she went,"
"I have seen on the internet about the attack at the bar down the street. Did you send her to buy you drinks?" Wilson asked.
"That is a grave accusation. Sandy doesn't drink," Rita intervened.
"You are telling me or are you trying to assure yourself?" Wilson arched his eyebrows and she too was taken aback.
She wasn't sure but it seemed like both reasons were true.
"Just be praying she comes back safe and sound before I start rethinking of you being my daughter,"
"Honey, those words are harsh she is still a child. You want to find her and the fact remains we are going to be humiliated by Greg,"
"Let me remind you that, that same girl you mistreat because of money and wealth is still your daughter. Another thing if you must know, my mom left her the whole hospital and that is why she must be at the will reading and the thirty percent of the company is under her name to. I think you know the way to the family house," Wilson got up and walked out leaving both of them shocked.
Rita shocked because she didn't expect the old woman could give such a young girl a big hospital. It is the biggest and best private hospital in the country.
Sandy was shocked because nothing was left for her. Why was she treated differently, they wanted a strong child and she has proven to everyone beyond doubt that she is a fighter, why then leave her with nothing.
That thought alone grew the hate she felt for Purity, everything seemed to be going her way without putting in a fight.
"Hurry up, let's go," Rita urged her but she had already lost her appetite.
"I'm full mom, let's go," she responded getting up from the seat and for the first time, she carried her plate to the kitchen.
She needed to impress her mom to be helped as there is nothing you won't expect at the family house. Every rich family comes with a handful but the Wilson's came with two handfuls.
Rita picked the car keys and led the way outside. The drive to the family house was quiet as both minds were thinking in different directions. Getting into the house, everyone was seated and they were the last to arrive.
Due to old age and poor health, the old man had a nurse beside him, just in case something happened to him.
"Good morning Dad," Rita greeted and all he did was nod.
"Good morning grandpa," Sandy greeted with a bow.
"Where is she?" The old man asked ignoring Sandy's greetings. He didn't need to mention names for them to know who he was referring to.
"She can't come today, I'm sorry dad," Rita apologized.
"Or maybe because you are embarrassed to show her to the world and think an illegitimate child will cover you up?" Greg chipped in, sarcasm in his voice.
He has never accepted Sandy as part of the family and maybe never will as according to him, in there family nobody is allowed to have two wives let alone having a child with another woman.
"According to Mrs. Magi's last wish, her first granddaughter must be present during the reading of her will," the lawyer said.
"The will won't be read until she is here. The meeting is cancelled till then," the old man said in a low but authoritative voice.
"Wilson, I thought you knew about this, your daughter was supposed to be here, why then waste our precious time?" Greg asked.
"I apologize for the waste of time, I will make sure she is present during the reading next time," Wilson apologized.
The old man looked at him then faced the nurse.
"I want to go in," he instructed her and was helped in leaving everyone there.
"Attention seekers, always wanting the world to revolve around your family. A simple thing, bring your daughter, you can't, now you have spoilt our precious time," Greg said getting up from his seat and walked out.
Wilson and the lawyer left as well. Greg didn't come with his family and Rita was left with Sandy in the living room.
"Do you know where that guy lives?" Rita asked Sandy.
The way things are going, the only way she could be at peace is if she finds Purity and puts an end to everything.
"Which guy?"
"The one you said is dating Purity,"
"No mum, I don't know his place but we can go to the bar later and find out about him,"
"Do you know his name?"
"No mum but I know his face. If I see him, I will know him," Sandy assured and Rita nodded.
Opening her eyes, Purity finds herself in a strange room. She didn't need a sooth seer to tell her that this was not her room.
The door opened and Denzel, dressed in all black walks in as the images of the guys in black entering the bar flash into her mind freaking her out.
"Please don't hurt me, allow me go home and I swear you will never see my face. I'm already a dead meat," she rushed her words and all he did was stare.
"What do you want from me? I don't have anything to offer," she asked after a while.
"What were you doing in the bar at such a time?" He asked in a calm voice. Since yesterday he has been having that question in his mind.
"My sister sent me to buy drinks for her, she does that every Sunday evening. Please allow me go, they will kill me,"
"I won't hurt you and I can't allow you go,"
"My mom will find me, I don't want to land you into trouble. Thank you for helping me out,"
"What's your name?"
"Purity Wilson,"
"Wilson sounds farmiliar. Get well first then we will talk about that," he walked out not giving her an opportunity to say another word.
Just as she was about to lay on the bed and rest, she remembered the interview she was supposed to go to.
Checking around the room there was no way she could find out the time. She got down from the bed, limped to the door, opened it and walked out.
She limped to the first door on her left and knocked.
"Come in,"
She pushed the door open and Denzel was on the bed doing something on his laptop.
"Is there a problem?" Denzel asked.
"Sorry to disturb you, what's the time?"
"Eleven fifteen,"
"I missed the interview,"
"You want to go for an interview in your state?"
"You won't understand, that is a life changing opportunity,"
"The Wilson family have a company, I don't think you need an interview to work in your family company,"
"Can you help me with a phone to call my friend, please," she pleaded changing the topic.
She wanted to call Andrew, to know if he is fine and tell him that she is fine. She knew for sure that he must be worried sick about her by now.
Denzel took his phone from the bed and stretched it to her.
"Thank you so much," she appreciated with a smile showing her well set milk like teeth and her cute dimples.
He faced his laptop to avoid the thoughts that had started coming into his mind.
Though she wanted to leave the room, it was painful walking around and she didn't think the call would take that long.
Andrew picked the call after the third ring.
"Hello, Andrew," she called out.
"Hello, who is this?" He questioned.
"It's me, Purity," she introduced herself.
"Purity, where are you? Are you safe? Were you hurt?" He rushed his questions.
Though he was worried, he felt a bit relieved hearing her voice. When he couldn't find her early in the wards, he thought something bad had happened to her.
"I'm fine, I don't know where I am? Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yes, don't worry about me. I'm in hospital but if you find out where you are just give me a call and I will come for you,"
"Thank you so much, can you help me find out if my dad has looked for me? I know my mom doesn't have that time and Sandy is having a victory dance," she requested.
"I will but if you ask me, don't go back home now till you are fully strong," he suggested.
"How will that be possible? No person will allow a stranger in his house for a long time and I missed the interview, that is my home and I will have to go back," she shrugged forgetting he couldn't see her.
"Recover first then we will talk, use this time to relax away from all the family trouble. Forget about all your troubles and add some weight. You are so thin, for my liking," he joked and she laughed.
"In somebody's house?" She asked after the laugh.
"If he or she was a bad person, don't you think he would have hurt you yesterday when you were vulnerable?" Andrew asked and she turned to face Denzel who looked like he wasn't listening to her.
He looked so handsome to be dangerous or so she thought.
"Ok, I will try, let's talk later," Purity replied. "Take care of yourself and be safe," Andrew hanged up and she handed the phone back to him. "Thank you," she appreciated. "Have you taken your drugs?" He asked. "No, I don't even know which drugs I'm supposed to take," she answered. "Freshen up and I'm coming," She nodded and left the room. Getting to her room she headed to the bathroom and as much as she didn't want the water to get to the wounds, there was no way she could achieve that on her own. Limping out of the bathroom, with a towel on, she had a chance to look around the room. It was a blend of black and white unlike her room which had blue and pink, her favorite colors.She didn't have a change of cloth and was scared to check the closet fear of invading his privacy. She sat on the bed and started checking the drugs on the lampstand.Denzel walks in with another set of pajamas and handed to her. "Use that," "Thank you," She
Denzel didn't have a reply or maybe he didn't know what to say. "Why was he even helping her?" That was the same questions he has been asking himself since yesterday. "Maybe because she is too innocent for this wicked world," he thought trying to convince himself. "Stop talking nonsense, what could I be hiding or am I not supposed to help anyone?" He asked Dan back. "I didn't mean it that way just that your enemies won't think the same way, I will be on my way now I have something to sort out. Should I send a girl to your hotel room tonight?" "No, I'm not interested. Call me if it is urgent," he declined the offer and informed him.Dan nodded and walked out of the study. Denzel remained in the study thinking. He had to set his mind straight and know what he was really doing before things get out of hand. Purity took the plates to the kitchen and washed the dishes. She was finishing up drying the dishes when Denzel walked in. "You shouldn't have
"Just do your best," William responded getting up ready to leave. He had other things to do in line with finding his daughter.After he was gone, Andrew took his phone and called Denzel's number several times but he didn't pick. "Does that mean, she left the house?" He thought to himself as he dropped his phone on the table beside him.Denzel and Purity were watching a movie before Purity slept off. He wasn't really a fan of watching romance movies and didn't know why he even accepted to watch in the first place. He carried Purity to his room and laid her on the bed tacking her to sleep then he went to his laptop to work maybe they will try the challenge tomorrow when she is strong. Denzel was woken up by his ringing phone and for the first time he woke up at eight. He cursed himself as he quickly got down from the bed. "What is it Dan?" He asked heading to the bathroom. "Are you home?" Dan asked back. "I'm I supposed to be somewhere right now?"
"Son," Emily called out as he headed to his car and he stopped.She always called him that anytime he was angry something his mom never did and he wasn't surprised. "Don't drive in that state," "I'm fine, you will come over to the house," "I love you as my own," he smiled and she waved as he went into the car. Emily went back into the house and bumped into Millicent, Denzel's mom who was watching them through the window. "What did you give to my son?" She questioned her eyes digging boreholes into her skin. "Nothing ma'am," "What she gave him doesn't matter, he listens to you so tell her the benefits of marrying this girl," Wayne spoke. "Sir, I'm just a maid and in no position to tell him what to do," Emily replied facing down. "Wow, you got some guts. It seems you don't like your job. You have to options, convince him to marry her or lose your job," Ian his brother threatened and she looked up to face him.She has been work
Sitting up on the bed Purity was surprised to find herself on the bed, remembering quite well that she was on the couch waiting for him then she fell asleep. It only means he came back, where could he be? She got down from the bed, went to the bathroom and after she was done she went to check the closet for something to wear. "Maybe he forgot to get me the clothes he promised," she thought to himself taking one of his shirts to use. She took the stairs heading to the living room and he was there setting the table for breakfast. "Good morning, do you have guests?" She asked walking closer and he looked up to face her then chuckled. "I don't bring guests here and I don't cook for guests. I call someone to cook, I cooked for us," he shrugged. "Wow this is amazing, thank you," she smiled and appreciated. "What time did you come, I was waiting for you," she added. "I'm sorry but next time just go to bed don't wait up for me. Have a seat," he pulled up
Greg gave everyone twenty four hours to find Purity but seemed like she disappeared in thin light, no trace left. The surveillance cameras in the bar only showed her get in and the rest was deleted but the question was who did it and why? "Sir nothing about her was found, I think the attackers did something on the cameras to avoid being seen," One of his men reported and he dismissed him.He took his car keys and left for the family house, he would have called but there is a lot to be discussed about this. Maybe their enemy has her but how come nobody has called to make a demand?He wasn't in the mood for all the greetings to this morning, so he ignored all of them and headed for his father's room, meeting him reading a file. "Dad the doctor said you need rest to get strong faster," he told him sitting in the couch in the room. "Rest, I'm not working, I'm only going through a file. Any news about her?" "More reason why I came, it seems like the surveillance
"I appreciate everything you have been doing for me but I shouldn't get used to all this, this is not my home," Purity replied. "You can make this your home, what do you think?" He arched his eyebrows. "Sooner or later my grandpa will know I'm missing and you will be in deep trouble if they find me here," "You care about what happens to me?" "Yes, the same way you cared for me when you helped me. If not for anything at least I should return the favor," "After lunch, we will go to my pent house, then allow me handle everything," he said tasting the food. "How is it?" She asked nervously. "Let me eat, you should also eat to add weight, is that not what your friend said the day you talked to him?" "I would have wanted to talk to him but I guess by now they are tracking his every move," she shrugged. "Can you tell me more about your cousin, Georgina?" He requested. "She didn't study in the country and I rarely go to fam
"How did you know?" Wilson asked, he really didn't want to believe Sandy can go that far remembering the fact that he sends monthly allowance into her account. "Big bro don't be naive, you don't know what your daughter is capable of? You called Aaron to investigate the matter, he works for the family but he wasn't the one who found out Dave is connected to Sandy. Don't you know you are dealing with a criminal?" Wilson was using all the energy in him to keep calm but deep inside he was boiling in anger and wanted to strangle her to death. "Send me every detail of that guy and I will deal with him and you, I need my money sent to my account in the next two hours. No money will be sent to you for six months and you will not leave the house neither will you have your phone,"Sandy's face fell, she was grounded at a point where she needed her phone and money the most, in two hours where will she get $2M. The money was transferred to Dave's account and he wanted t
He had lost everything so there is nothing he could lose now that will hurt him. "We'll see about that, time will tell," he responded. It didn't mean he was trusting her but giving her the benefit of the doubt won't be that bad, he had even planned to run away with the child immediately it's born and even leave the country so if she gives him or not, he will leave. "I'll be in my room," she walked out. Finally the awaited day was here, everybody who beared Wilson as the surname was seated in the living room waiting for thel lawyer to arrive. Since that day the images were still fresh in her mind and everytime she remembered she was legally tired down to him, it hurt her more.Heaven knew she had done her best in acting to be fine and she should actually win the award of the best actress of the year. Denzel broke her into pieces she didn't know if she will ever recover and to add on that she hadn't been feeling well.She didn't want to be here but according to Papa that wa
To pass time they had to go do some shopping but it was boring as nobody talked to the other unless need be. "Why are you silent? What happened in there?" Purity decided to break the silence not wanting Gina to suspect anything. "He didn't forgive me," "Was it because I burged into you guys? I'm so sorry," "It's okay, I actually wanted you to do that. Everything is fine. Let's just go home we will come back next time to do some shopping," Gina said walking towards the counter to pay for what she had picked.Denzel tried so many times to call purity but she didn't pick neither did she respond to his messages.He couldn't concentrate on his work anymore as all he could see was that face filled with shock and those eyes that were teary breaking his heart.As Purity walked into her room, she locked the door behind her then dropped on the floor in tears, her heart was busting with everything she had persevered the whole way. He lied to her and broke her heart into a
Not wanting to get her angry, he decide to wake her up. It won't be a good idea going with her without her consent. "Princess," he called her gently several times till she opened her eyes "We are here," he announced and she rubbed her eyes looking outside. "What's the time?" "Three," he responded. "I have to go," He took a bottle of water and handed it to her. "Thank you," she appreciated, took her handbag and removed her hair brush. He took it from her and brushed her hair. "Let me know once you get home," he said and she nodded. "You can go, nobody is around," he told her.It's always hard to say goodbye and he never thought it will happen to him. He removed the chain on his neck and wore it on her. "It's beautiful," "Never take it of," She nodded, he kissed her and opened the door helping her down, she waved and started walking away and he started driving the car at a low speed till she entered the gate then he drove off.
She flipped her eyebrows then closed her eyes embarrassed, what her mind was thinking, she also couldn't believe herself.She couldn't think straight and all the questions she wanted to ask him just evaporated through the window, she also wanted to tell him to stay away but didn't think it was okay again. He was about to kiss her when a car horned behind them reminding him that he wasn't really out of the road. He got off her making her frustrated but he only smiled getting down from the car to move, he didn't want be interrupted later but she was angry and wanted to get out and leave.Greg was heading to the family house and he saw Denzel going to drive off, he wanted to go and talk to him but his wife stopped him. "What are you going to do?" His wife asked. "Talk to him, he treated our daughter so badly and since then I have not been able to talk to him," he responded. "Let the sleeping dog lie, we both don't know what he is doing around this area, he has never b
Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours as he waited for her response but she didn't reply. At around midnight, he couldn't hold it anymore, he dialed her number.Remembering she tried to reach out to Andrew but couldn't talk to him, she thought it was him when she walk to the ringing phone and saw a new number. "Hello," she said sounding sleepy and he felt happy hearing her voice even though it was nolonger close to him. "You are still awake at this time, do you miss me," he flirted and her heart stopped pumping blood.What was she thinking, that she would just leave and everything will go back to normal? Seems she was wrong. "Stop calling me," in her mind she said it so boldly and courageously like she meant it but who was she kidding, her voice let her down and he chuckled. "Are you sure about that?" He asked making her start doubting herself.Was she sure he wanted him to stop? She hasn't been able to sleep well since she laid her head down all because
Sitting on the bed, Purity couldn't help but miss him. Was it a rational decision that she made? What if she listened to what he had to say? "He is a murderer," she comforted herself. "Why don't you report him to the police if he really is a murderer?" Her subconscious mind asked her and she sighed.She loves him so much that she didn't think she could see him suffer in the hands of the police let alone being locked up.And what if they jail an innocent man? She wasn't even sure if he was the one that murdered those men that were laying on the floor. There were other people around who even had guns but he didn't. "Did I judge him so quickly?" She asked herself. "But he was beating up someone and he had so much blood on himself," her subconscious mind reminded her and she laid on the bed facing the wall. Come to think of it, her family aren't saints, if she starts counting the offences her family members have done, then it will take ages before she complete
Denzel saw her at a distance and just as he was about to get to her, a car stopped and she got in. He panicked, not knowing who it was then he remembered that guy that claimed to be in love with her. What if she called him, and he came to pick her up, that thought alone, of her being in another man's house made his blood boil.He followed the car and though he calmed down seeing the car drive into the Wilson's villa, he still wanted her, they still needed to talk, to make things right.He parked his car at a distance, watching and hoping she will come out, he was willing to abduct her if need be.Minutes turned into hours and till evening, he didn't catch a glimpse of her that he had to go back. Arriving home since yesterday, Vanessa was a bit worried and him reaching home tired increased to her worries. "Just change, you are coming with me," Dan instructed taking the stairs. "Don't you think I should know where you have been since yesterday?" Vanessa asked and he sighed.
She closed her eyes but the images, images of blood, dead bodies and his face kept on flashing in her mind. He only got shocked when he saw her and not by what he was doing, tears streamed down at that thought.He was so kind, caring, loving and tender or so she thought but what she saw today changed everything, she felt hurt.Why did he lie, if he could kill those men what about her? She is only a grasshopper Infront of him and with a snap of his finger she would be gone. Opening her eyes, she was surrounded by Denzel's men and as much as they weren't planning to hurt her, the sight of them alone, was scaring the hell out of her and she collapsed. Seeing her fall, he rushed into action before any of his men could and caught her right in time and turned to Dan for the car key but he was so shocked to even utter a word.All this while he was just watching like some kind of show. He knew something like this was going to happen but not so soon. Knowing his boss very well, he saw the
The last week was so busy for him but Denzel was grateful that finally, everything about their marriage was settled and according to the law they were legally married.It was weekend and they decided to go and have fun that evening. It was fun and she was really enjoying herself as he drove the bike.It was the outskirts of town and the road was empty giving the authority on the road. She had the helmet on but he never follows rules so he had nothing. On the mirror he saw this black carin a distance and seemed like it was tracing them so he took the next junction and stopped.He would have faced them to know who they were and what they wanted but with her his hands were tied. "Why did you stop?" She asked. "I remembered I have to send someone a message urgently but we will go on," he smiled assuredly as he hugged her then sent Dan a message to get backup as he thought of how to get Purity out of there.He knew who it was, the only person who has nothing to do but to med
