GEORGE. 5 years had passed since Keira disappeared without a trace. Till today, I couldn't fathom what happened. I wondered if she had died or not. I have looked for her everywhere but it was as if she was gone from earth. I missed her so much. I can't tell what went wrong till this day. Life has been messy without her. Most times I felt like something was missing from my body. Why did I feel like everything was done deliberately.. Keira wasn't dead, it wasn't possible. if she was, at least I would see her corpse..Mark had been searching for her till now yet no trace. Again, she left like others, she abandoned me. She left our promises, she left me..I waited for her everyday, I waited for her call and text message like a child but it never came.. she had blocked me..I guess she changed her number.. but i couldn't give it a rest no matter what. I needed to find her. I needed to know why she disappeared. Sometimes, I wonder if she had already started life with another man. Was she
GEORGE My interest was piqued once Mark said he found a footage over the phone. “Is this about Keira?” I asked him.“Yes sir. I think we will find answers to some questions sir” Mark mumbled and I bit my lips in anxiety. I pray I do. I have been restless for the past five years, not knowing the reason behind Keira's sudden disappearance. “Alright. Where is the footage?” I inquired. “At the penthouse sir” Mark answered and I squinted my brows. At my penthouse? Could I really find any answers from the CCTV in my penthouse? “Okay, give me a minute” I told Mark and hung up the call. “Did you find anything?” Sebestian asked me once I cut the call, his gaze fixed on me. “No. But Mark said he found footage. Hopefully, I will find the answers. I know she might not want to be found but I can't help it, Sebs. I feel like I'm losing my mind” I huffed. “I feel you, Man…. I pray you find her soon.” Sebestian muttered. I knew he understood me, if he doesn't, who will? “I have to go to Mark
SEBASTIAN. “Keira had a brain tumor….I didn't even know…” George let out a weird laughter and gulped another shot. He had been drinking for quite a long time now. I can't remember the last time George had so much to drink. Keira's disappearance has been affecting him and yes sometimes we drank but not to this extent. He barely got drunk, he didn't handle cases by drinking but I guess this one was too much for him to handle. I had always felt guilty for the past years when Keira disappeared. I felt guilty for lying to my best friend. I know if George finds Keira and knows I have a hand in her disappearance, we would definitely stop being friends. I broke the loyalty first but at this point, I was done feeling guilty. I never persuaded or forced Keira into hiding from him, she stood firm and made those decisions herself so I have no hand in it. Sometimes when I see George being this much of a loser because of Keira, I hated it. George wasn't this weak even with Isabel. “I feel so s
GEORGE. I slowly opened my eyes, my head pounding like a drum. I squinted my eyes, trying to remember where I was. The last thing I could remember was drinking with Sebastian but I was in a very unfamiliar environment. I darted my eyes next to me, a blurry figure coming in view beside me. Isabel. My stomach churned with disgust.What was she doing here? I quickly stood up and raised the duvet, I was naked and this was her apartment. What the heck is this about? How did I end up in this silly apartment with Isabel? Isabel stirred beside me, her eyes fluttering open. "Hey, George," she smiled,her voice husky. She had the guts to smile. I have warned Isabel severally about these stupid stunts but she never listens. My body was already boiling in so much rage and disgust. My skin crawled. I couldn't stand her. I didn't know how I'd ended up with her, but I knew I wanted to be out of her presence. “What the heck is this all about?" I growled, my voice rough. Isabel's face fell, but sh
KEIRA. A week later. “Mummy, where are we going?” Kevin asked me, fluttering his eyelids. Clara, Kelvin's nanny, was taking out our luggages. “Home. We are going home..” I said, bending over to him. “Home?” He repeated. “Isn't this our home?” He asked and I shook my head..“We have another home.” I revealed. “Is it Daddy's home? Are we going to be living with Daddy?” Kevin asked with an air of anticipation and I got tongue tied. I knew he was referring to Sebastian. He was the one who played a fatherly role in Kevin's life. “Not really. We will….” “But why?” Kelvin interrupted. “I'm the only one that doesn't live with mummy and Daddy together” He added with a pout and I sighed deeply. I brushed my hands through his hair softly, I could see the bit of sadness in his eyes. “Kelvin…I….” I couldn't finish my words as a voice came through. “Ma'am, I'm done with the luggages.” Clara interrupted. “Alright, Clara.” I said to her, standing to my feet from bending over to Kelvin ear
KEIRA. “Ma'am, the dress looks so fabulous on you!” Clara said to me after I tried on the dress that Sebestian sent. I was skeptical about accepting it since it reminded me of my first date with George where he decided to be everything I needed. “You think?” I muttered, turning around over and over on the mirror while checking it out. “Yes, it looks fabulous….” Clara said and I pressed my lips together. I would lie if I said my heart wasn't pounding. I'm finally showing up after five years. I kept on heaving deep sighs. I kept telling myself it wasn't much of a big deal, but it was,it really was. I didn't know how was I going to face George. What would I say? Would I want to run into his arms? Get it together Keira, he is happy with your mom now, they are cool together because he doesn't want a woman who would give birth to a child for him. My face dropped even staring at myself in the mirror. The black one hand maxi dress with a slit, hugged my curves properly. Despite giving bi
GEORGE. My heart skipped the moment I followed Joe's gaze and saw Keira. Keira?! I couldn't believe it, I really couldn't. I'm not seeing a ghost or something right? I can't be hallucinating,right? God, if this is a dream, please wake me up, please. I had seen Keira in my dream countless times but this one felt too real to be a dream. But if it was really a dream, I prayed that God would wake me up. I have been living everyday in agony after finding out Keira had a brain tumour, I have searched for the information of the doctor that performed surgery but found none. Everything concerning Keira's disappearance seemed to be a mystery. A mystery I can't seem to unravel. My eyes were stuck staring at her, my world seemed to stand still,I couldn't move, neither could any part of my body. I stood still until the figure I assumed to be Keira took her eyes off like she never knew me from Adam and began moving. I couldn't just process what was happening, it was happening so fast for me to
KEIRA. I missed him so much. He hadn't changed one bit,he still looked the same from five years ago, those hazel eyes, his dimples, his chiseled jaw and the beards that were flecked with gray. His body structure was firm and strong. If not told, you wouldn't know he had reached fifty five. I wanted to run into his embrace where I felt safe the most but remembering he was dating my mother, I had to keep it together. All the while in the wedding, he couldn't take his eyes off me. He couldn't stop staring. I occasionally tried to steal glances but would find him staring..I wanted to avoid him and his gaze but it seemed inevitable. I knew he had so many questions and I'm not ready to answer any. He was better not knowing, that way we can be happy about our lives. When he approached me after I tried to leave, I was silently praying that I wouldn't do anything silly.. I had to tell myself that I was doing this for my child. We weren't wanted so I have to end it once and for all. “If yo
