"Luke," I heard myself mutter, although I knew he didn't hear me say his name.
He was dressed in a jean trouser and wore a hoodie. It almost felt like I perceived the smell of his perfumes, although I didn't. The memories were only racing in my head.
He was far from where I sat. I looked at him carefully, recalling what Ethan had told me_the news Matthew and the rest of the men gave to him days ago in his office.
He was with a girl, I noticed for the first time since I was staring. Who is she? I wondered, recalling the fact that the young man may be into human trafficking.
_girls trafficking.
What on earth does he do it for? I thought, my eyes still on him. I brought out my phone to quickly take a picture when someone tapped me.
"Do you know him?" It was Pamela's voice. I turned to look at her,

Scarlett's POVThings went from bad to worse in the house I live with Luke. I no longer have a say in my house, I am scared to do anything again as the woman of the house.The last time Luke left the house, he came back two days later. I called his lines over and over again, afraid of something bad happening to him. If it hasn't happened already.I considered going to the police station to report a missing case to them. I was ready for all their questions_"when was the last time you saw him?" "What was he wearing?" I was ready for them all just to see Luke again. But my conscience wouldn't let me go as I planned, I know very well that the man has gone to one of the women he is seeing. He probably spent two nights in her house, with her on the bed.Whoever Isabella is? I wondered as I sat on the couch, waiting for whatever was going to happen. It is either I see one of the citizens drag Luke's corpse into the compound or he returns from wherever he has gone to. Did he even go to

Ethan's POVIt was good news to me when I heard that my wife, Amelia and the maid, Pamela, were successfully conveyed to Spain. Although, no conversations have been held since the day they left the house via phone calls.We only talked via WhatsApp texts and never over the phone. I, myself, have become too busy at the office with my work. My pocket is almost drained, the expenses made for the leave of my wife, the car and the visa I prepared for her trip in advance.Including the house in Spain, the apartment was worth it but too expensive, almost costlier than my mansion here in New York. I am not too worried, though. I am certain that they are safer in Spain than here in New York.On the day they left, I received a new while at the office.Amelia saw Luke.Again! I heard myself scream back at her over the phone, I was shocked

"I'll be back," I threw my words at Scarlett who did not even bother to look or nod at me. It was very obvious that she was still surprised at me over nights ago. What is so surprising in what I did? I collected something rightfully mine, by force. It is no big deal, I wondered, opening the door of my car and hopping in, almost immediately.It was the evening of that day, I returned from work and left the house again. I was on my way to the mall. I should let Scarlett do it but I don't want her touching my money anymore, neither do I want her to be seen walking that way.I noticed she stopped walking properly ever since that night. I expected such, she obviously was in no mood to be touched that night, and her neck.Her neck still has a mark on it, slightly reddish and at the same time, brown. The neighbours will definitely question her if they saw her in such a mess, and Scarlett on the other hand, can not tell a lie."Good day," I reached the mall, greeted the man at the gate while

Amelia's POVIt was in the early hours of the morning_not too early but was the right time to still have some rest before finally preparing for work when a knock came in at the gate. I still snored in my room, same as Pamela who was yet to leave hers.It came on and on, until Pamela rushed into my room to announce the presence of a stranger at the gate."Who could it be?" I asked, sitting up on the bed. "It is barely a month since we arrived here, right?" I asked, looking at the wall clock hanging on the wall. "I have no idea," the scared lady said, sitting next to me on the bed. "A thief, perhaps."I laughed, hugged the small woman to myself and touched her beating heart. "Are you sure this is the house?" I asked, she nodded, claiming she heard the noise and confirmed moments ago by checking out at the veranda upstairs."Let's go," I told her, jerking the duvet off from my body. "It's still too early to invade people's privacy," I complained. The knock came again and I hastened

Ethan's POVThe day to track the criminal arrived, I woke up from my sleep with an upset stomach. What did I eat the previous night? I asked myself, recalling I had mashed potatoes I prepared by myself.I only boiled and did the necessary things. What else did I do to the potatoes to cause an upset stomach for me?Was it that bad? I thought as I made for the bathroom to poop. It wasn't easy reaching the room, but I did. My phone beeped several times, I overheard from the bathroom where I was.I sat on the toilet seat for almost an hour, doing nothing in particular before getting up again. I walked back into the room and got naked the next moment, this is something that never happened with Amelia in the house.How will I get naked in front of a woman? I can go naked in front of any woman, but not Amelia. She should and will definitely run away or yell at m

Their calls came in days ago, asking me to visit the house.I know mother is at it again, it is either she wants me to see a part of the house that got renovated or she has something else to show to me.Maybe she got some nice slippers from the boutique, who knows?Father's reason for asking me to come is pure, I know. He wants to see my face and have a small moment with me, his daughter.We barely talked these days, after all and I, myself, miss them so much. Including Amelia who has gone on a break from po

Ethan's POVMatthew, myself and the rest of the men have visited the airports more than three times since the last event.Three times is less than how many times we have gone, almost six times in the space of two weeks."I am angry!" Matthew yelled, hitting the seat belt around his waist. It was the last time we agreed on going to the airports, we saw nothing to hold against Luke and it freaked the young man out._including myself."Did that hurt?" I heard myself asking, looking at his face for a sign of pains, and his stomach to see if that part of him was breathing heavily."No," he told me, shaking his head."Why is he not showing up?""I have no idea, I should ask you, and your fellows for doing a bad job," I told him this time.I was already angry at him

Amelia's POVThe clothes from Dubai, after so much anticipation, arrived about two weeks ago, coupled with the decorating team. All my plans happened the way I wanted it too, leaving me with no choice than to prepare for a brief visit to my country.Now was the right time for me to leave for New York, at least, to see the doctor and check on my baby's health._and maybe it's gender.I had barely seen a doctor here in Spain, not any at all. It should not be so. As a pregnant woman, I have been too busy and lazy to do this responsibility which is very necessary.

Ethan's POV I slept soundly that hour, almost dreaming when a hand hit me. At first, I thought it was in my dream, or a mis-thought. The hand butted me again, and I jumped up on the bed. “What is it?” I asked Amelia, she held onto the edge of the bed, gasping for air. “What is it?!” I asked again, holding her hand. “I think the babies are coming.” I thought I didn't hear the words clearly until she repeated them again, Pamela's name filled my mouth the next moment. I was more confused and hurt when Amelia burst out crying, it was in the early hours of the morning and definitely not the right time for this. Whatever it is that she felt must have hurt, deeply. “Pamela!” I screamed the young lady's name again, higher than the former pitch and tone. I heard the door of her room creak, and footsteps were heard. She was on her way. “What is it?” The confused woman asked, rushing to Amelia's side. “I think the babies are coming, uncle.” Of course, I know. The only thing I d
