Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Orange Mall
Angie reads the message sent from Sue over and over again, puzzling over something.She looks at the little girl still strapped to a chair in the small place they now are. On the chair, her neck is tilted in what has to be the most uncomfortable position in the whole world, and she's asleep, her hands clasped together like she's praying. Every once in a while, she shivers and then sleeps off again.It's in the early hours of the morning so in there, with the curtains drawn is quite dark and cold.Angie nurses the thought of covering the child with her long coat but she decides against it, steeling her mind against helping or showing anything like weakness for as long as she'll be able to get her revenge.Edward, the man she loved with all her heart, body and soul, was shot because of her and she didn't even do anything to take the shot for him, although to everyone who saw it, it was pretty obvious that the gunshot was meant for the nonsense woman but she let her to be husband and he
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Ashley Comes First.
Angie stands up immediately. "I'll be right back. No funny stuff with the kid." She warns as she walks across the room.Ashley's awake and wondering where she is at that moment.Brian nods wryly and watches her as she exits the room, what he's going to do on his mind.As soon as she closes the door behind her, Brian stands up, laughing maniacally. "Did you hear her? Who's she to give me orders?" He walks very close to Ashley. "No funny stuff with the kid." He mimics and pinches Ashley hard.Ashley whimpers but she doesn't cry. "Where am I?" She inquires."Look at the kid asking me questions too. Do you want to give me orders as well?""Where Aunty Tanya? Take me to Aunty Tanya." Ashley whimpers sorrowfully, scared that she doesn't know anyone there at all. At least before, Tanya was there to assure her that all was well but now there's no Tanya anymore, she's nothing short of scared and terrified.Brian isn't helping matters either, him being up in her face."Well, Aunty Tanya is no m

Angela takes the elevator to get down faster and as soon as her eyes land on James in the middle of the mall, looking around, confused and clueless, she approaches him."Hi there. You look lost?" She asks sweetly, offering him her best smile.James smiles right back, inwardly happy to see someone who easily offered him help without him asking for it. "Hi. I'm not completely lost, at least I know I'm in the Orange mall but now on the inside, I'm a bit lost.""Okay. So it'll be best if you locate places with relations to what you've come here for." Angela looks him over and over and then nods. "Are you here to buy anything for your wife or daughter? Most men who comes here are after gifts for a loved one... Or maybe a lover?"James laughs easily. "It's for none of those reasons... But in a way, I'm here with regards to women's fashion items.""Let me guess... You're here to sell?""Absolutely. I have a ton of shoes to sell for a start. And I assure you they are all in good condition."A
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. The Middle
James looks at Angela curiously, wondering what it's all about. Still clueless, he continues as he stands up from his chair and wraps Sue in a hug. "It's so nice to see you again. I didn't see you since the funeral. How have you been?"Sue smiles forcedly and hugs James back. "It's really been long. What are you doing here?""I came to sell some of Alexa and Sharon's so many fashion items and since I had no need if them, I came here and found this woman who offered to help me so why not? So here I am.""Did you know her before now?""Nope. She approached me herself downstairs."Angela tuts. "Seems like Daddy two hasn't had the gist yet.""Daddy two?" James asks her, still trying to be polite.Sue turns him back to face her. "You have to get out of here Dad. You should not be here at all..."Angela shakes her head and walks to the door, locking it from the inside and tucking the key in her boobs. "Unless you'd put your hand in there, I don't see how he'll leave here..."Sue and James j

"Would you like me to handle that?"Sue smiles at him, "Don't worry, I've got this. I'm sure if I don't kill her, I can at least ruin her pretty face."

Sue remarks as she hugs Darlene.Darlene tips her hat, "what can I say? I've been out traveling the world with my husband. All my children are old enough to take care of themselves so I deserve some respite.""Speaking about that, where's Wade?""I'm guessing he's fighting with the baskets we came with. They are yours by the way and my babies. Where are they?""Inside, with their Dad. He seems to be the only one they take clothes from these days, just like Ashley when she was little.

Mommy! Daddy is Missing. At the End...
At the party after the wedding ceremony, everyone puts on their dresses according to the theme as decided by Holly and Darlene.And Egyptian times were known mostly for the gold in their clothes and fine linens so there was a flash of gold coming from everywhere.But when Sue came in, there was no gold that matched hers, none was as luxurious and elegant as her own, along with the modest yet exquisite accessories laid in her hair.And none shone the brightest.It was really giving the Cleopatran vibe as everyone expected.As they will say, Sue ate and left no crumbs.When it comes to the time to throw flowers, every single person was arranged behind Sue, all, or most, eager to catch the flower and decide their future for themselves in marriage.At the back, it included Tara, Raya, Marshall was forced there by Ford against all his own wishes, Tanya and Harry, forced in there by their mum, Darlene and Holly too, giggling like children how they would not mind a man at their age, Ella, Ear

Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Facepalms and Laughter.
It's Ford's turn to facepalm, although there's a hint of hidden laughter on his face. "We'll deal with you two later. Let's attend to the reporters so we can get some rest, what do you think?"Sue nods, agreeing. "Please.""Attention please. Come this way if you have questions. We'll answer them to the best of our abilities."This grabbed all attention towards the couple who stand side by side, Ford's large hands enclosing Sue's in his. "So we heard you have questions for us?""Is a wedding really happening? I mean you're two influential families. Don't you want to give a chance to others?"They all laugh."Well, what can we say when fate drew us to one another? I can't swap her for the world and I'm sure it's a mutual feeling." Ford responds, gently squeezing Sue's hand.Sue nods slowly by his side, her smile infectious."Another question. What will happen to your businesses when you marry? Ms Sue has her own company and you do yours and Ms Sue's family has hers too. It's a lot. Woul
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Mis-sayings.
For the next few weeks, all Holly and Darlene saw of their children and grandchild was video calls and posts on their social media accounts.They had tons of fun, not wanting it to end.They visited many states, including Dallas where everyone got to go to a Cowboy festival where they had rodeo drives and roasted pigs and kicked up as many dusts they could on themselves and others while riding horses and when simply running around, having fun.For the first few days after the incident that shook the whole family so much, Ashley was a little sad and scared. Every minute, she would shake without reason, like a sudden gust of wind was blown on her and it worried everyone so much until they went on their vacation where Ashley was always within eyeshot. Everyone had eyes on her and others, ready to make another lesson of anybody who tries to try shit with them as an individual and as a family as a whole.For a whole month, they visited every amusement park, every theme park, every Five Mi
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Love and Light.
Ford stands with the Chief of the Police Force as they both watch the body get covered and the ambulance leaves with the other.The chief barks out orders to his men and they respond with gusto and then he faces Ford and smiles warily. "What really happened here?""They both had kidnapped my daughter and sister. I wanted to teach them a lesson but I didn't even get to. Brian got his hand shot off by Angela while she fell through that window all on her own. I guess the guilt from shooting her partner was too much but I don't think she'd want to die so the falling must have been an accident." He explains, meeting the Chief's eyes very bravely and squarely."Hm, I see. So that's what happened. We'll get the body to the morgue while the man will be taken to the hospital. I never thought I'd see a severed hand like that, it looked so roughly pulled or torn apart. Do you know about that?"Ford shakes his head. "As soon as Angela fell, I and my assistant both left the room, hoping we could s
