Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Known and Unknown Truths.
Darlene stands beside Sue as she waves Ford off to work. "It's too early to start to miss him you know? He basically just went outside the gate." She teasesSue laughs. "He promised to be back soon and I trust that. Let's just go inside."They both turn around and go back inside the house. Tanya and Ashley are playing together in the living room and laughing quite loudly as Tanya keeps on tickling Ashley's feet. Harry is probably upstairs in his room.The previous day, he had been discharged. Although he could have been discharged much earlier, he chose to stay there but finally, his mum convinced him to come home and that he'll get the treatment he needs from home. They certainly can afford it and even more than that.They walk by and go to the dining room. They tables have been cleared and all that remains on the table is a vase of flowers. Darlene motions Sue to a seat."I love to drink some wine whenever... So I'm going to get a bottle. Would you like some too? It's been a long t
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Anger and Fascination.
It was all fun and interesting for Ashley throughout the weekend spent at her grandmother's place.Darlene's house.On Monday morning, the same routine. Ford dresses for Ashley while Sue prepares their food for the day. Sue will be going to Mason's today because Ford keeps telling her to come with him together. Sue has asked a thousand times about why but Ford is a pretty secretive man and doesn't say anything except telling her that she should come with him that morning.She has accepted but they will drop off Ashley first and then leave for the office together.Also, that day, Sue has planned to go home shopping with Tara. They have compiled so many pictures and addresses of places they want to go visit and check out. This is unexpected but curiosity is what is making her go.What could it be on a Monday morning?Soon enough, they set out of the house to go about their daily activities.*Elise eyes her desk, her eyes heavy with tears that stay at the back of her eyelids. Her fellow

With everything back in order, or seeming like it's in order in Tara's hands, she manages to make her way through the elevator without spilling anything, and then the doors open for her to meet Ford's secretary.She comes to give her a hand with everything she's carrying. "Thank you very much. It's some office wears for your boss. If you could send the package to his house, I will greatly appreciate it." Tara instructs her so nicely."Sure. Let me help you with those. Drop those ones on the waiting chair there. I'll get the delivery man."After everything in her hands have finally been laid down, Tara stretches her back and groans."Can I go in?"Tara frowns slightly. "What else do you have to do? I thought you just needed to deliver the clothes?""I'm not a delivery person." She replies brightly. "I'm also a guest of Miss Sue's.""Oh, I see." She replies drily. "What's your name so I can let them know you're here?""It's Tara. Tell her Tara is here."For a moment, no one speaks and T

"Come on, don't dwell on that past. You gave him the finger, fine. People who work often do that to their bosses" Evans states and pours his sister another shot of vodka. She drinks it in one gulp and sets it down.She glances around, taking in the loud noise in the bar and the amount of men around her. There are only three women in the bar, with her being one.She turns back to her brother and sighs. "You speak quite well for someone who doesn't have a boss. This anger of mine will get me in trouble someday. Come to think of it, I'm now jobless..." Her eyes widen dramatically.Evans laughs. "Isn't that everyday of my own life?""Come on, you have a job. You play basketball and get paid for it. I don't do anything now. I knew one day, Gail will cost me my job." She sighs again"Seriously? Now you blame Gail for your situation now?""Whose side are you on?" She asks him, slightly frowning."I'm on your side okay? Just don't blame Gail. You gave your boss the finger and she wasn't even

"Here's the first house on our list" Tara announces, unable to keep the excitement out of her voice.She's getting her own house, in a different state, with a better paying job and now, she can also afford to buy designer wears and accessories for herself with her salary.When she and Raya and had heard and seen the contract for their new posts, they had squealed, hugged and then squealed again. The lawyer who had brought the documents was entirely confused all through, wondering why they were so happy but he would not understand the kind of change they are going into.She and Raya had met each other at an orphanage when they were twelve and fourteen years old respectively. They had immediately become friends, amidst all of the bickering, and had stuck together.Once, Tara was to get adopted. She cried for them to take Raya as well but they had only finances to adopt only one child. Tara would not give in, even when Raya tearfully tried to persuade her to go on and lead a good life an

"Tara, this is the fifth place. Can't we continue tomorrow?" Sue groans, very tired from moving all around the city all day along with Tara who has not stopped talking for a second."Aw boss. You seem tired." She commentsSue raises her eyebrows in disbelief. "I seem or I am? I am tired." She clarifies, leaning deeper into the plush leather chair of the car as the driver enters a parking lot, subtly signifying that they have arrived at another location.Sue looks out of the car just before the car goes inside the underground lot and registers the subtle resemblance to the apartment she lived in Dallas with this one. Sue does not know much about buildings but when she sees one that looks alike she can tell without been told.Thinking of her apartment back in Dallas reminds her of her landlord. She smiles, remembering he told her to call him when she returns to Dallas. She wonders if she ever will although she still kept paying for the apartment. She wonders if she should tell him about
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. This is Reality.
Sue thinks for a moment and then speaks. She touched Tara's hand very lightly. "This is Tara, the Atlanta branch's executive director. We don't have a lot of people just yet. You could apply. We'd seriously consider you." She informs her as the elevator doors open.Ella and Evans side step the other two and exits the elevator, but not before Ella responded to Sue's offer. "I'll take you up on that offer." She smiles warmly, just as the elevator closes and then descends into the basement where their own car is parked and waiting."But she was working in B&F before..." Tara lets her words trail off but Sue knows the entirety of everything she wanted to say.Sue smiles. "Yes. I got to know her because of that particular scandal, but something in me just likes and trusts her."Tara chuckles. "Don't you just trust everyone?""No, I don't."And then her mind wanders to Elise. Now that one is gone too, how will she ever find her again? It's only normal to make mistakes, sometimes, the mistak
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. James Greene.
James Greene escorts Mr Trelawney out of the his hospital room, and then to the entrance of the hospital as bows slightly to say his byes.It had been a long discussion after he got the document in his hands. Seeing everything, seeing the clauses and what to do and what not to do, all the advice he got from Mr Trelawney, he faltered for a bit.Considering becoming a divorcee is simpler thought in the hand than being faced with the decision to do it.Mr Trelawney did not say anything to persuade him to sign it or dissuade him at the same time, just answered his questions as they came.He decided on his own to leave the hospital on his own, without telling his to be ex wife and daughter and just move to one of his houses in the bustling city, on his own, with his own money and live his life the way he wants it to be for once.Ever since he got married to Sharon, everything became filled with responsibilities, which considering it, is quite normal but in her case it was not.

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.

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

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

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

"You know it is not your fault right? Those bastards must have known one way or the other that whatever happened was a result of their own choices."Sue tries to smile. "It's not that actually but thanks for being here with me..." Sue glances at Ashley as the girl snuggles closer to her, putting her head on her inner arms. Sue turns to Tanya and smiles appreciatively. "You know, I never had the opportunity to adequately thank you for what you did even after you got beaten while doing it. I really owe you a lot."Tanya smiles widely. "You don't need to thank me. It's what any human would have done,

James picks up Ashley from the ground, trying to calm and stop her from crying and at the same time, noticing the soft bump on the door.The door opens and out comes Marshall, who barks at one of the two men who came up with him. "Call the authorities! Immediately." He goes back in and closes the door behind him again.James tried to peep in through the open crack but he didn't see anything other than Marshall's body blocking the door and the light in the room.Who had been shot?No one knows, all except those inside.*Holly laughs excitedly as she licks off the upper part of the ice cream she's holding, and Darlene cracking jokes jokes beside her."And then I go, oh my goodness, I didn't switch on the electric cooker after putting the water on for over two hours..."Holly only laughs the more.

Terribly shaking and nervous as she stares at the dark muzzle of the gun pointing at her head, Angela walks straight for the door after pulling the key out of her chest.Shakingly, she puts the key in the lock and turns it open."Open the door."Angela pulls down the knob and opens the door just as Marshall and two men enter the boutique.All the noise and ruckus has attracted people who weren't there just minutes before and now there were people peeping in through the boutique's glass windows.Angela steps out first, Sue follows behind her and then James.When the crowd sees the gun, there's a collective gasp.Marshall walks to meet her.
