Mommy! Daddy is Missing. "THIS"
Ford stands up, embarrassed but hiding it well.He picks up Ashley with one pull of his left hand and holds out his right hand to Sue again who raises on eyebrow."You want to fall again? You haven't learnt your lesson." She teases and takes his hand. "Ah you should be ashamed of yourself. Using this much strength for a woman when all you want to do is to pull her up. Disappointing."Ford laughs and is quite relieved that both of them are okay although he still plans to figure out how and why they were locked in.And how the latch that opens from the inside was locked although that was supposed to always be open.Apparently, Sue didn't see or know about it so there's no way she could have locked herself and her daughter inside the room and stayed there till late at night.They hadn't even eaten lunch or dinner."Penny for your thoughts." "Do people still say that?" Ford genuinely wonders. "Well, I still say it. What were you thinking?""There was latch you could have opened above the
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Arrested for Conspiracy to Kill a Baby
Her eyes red, her cheeks an angry red and a dot of split lip, short hair stomps over to where Sue is seated, along with her cohorts.Sue rolls her eyes at seeing them.Just then, the elevator doors open, Ford steps out, with Ashley still asleep on the width of his shoulders. He sees the three ladies and they see him.They are dumbstruck by the handsome man in front of them and momentarily forgets the situation they are in. He just passes by them and settles down in the chair opposite Sue.Seeing him sit there with the woman who slapped her, short hair takes a step back. Ford looks up at them at all three of them."Can we help you?" He asks, looking at them like he's examining something disgusting."Uhm... No. Not at all. We were just looking for a table.""Fine then. This one is taken." He states and turns to face Sue who's acting all innocent and ignorant of the situation."I hope you didn't wait long. You haven't ordered yet?""Oh, not yet. I wanted to admire the place first."To Sue
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. If a man could Blush...
The whole restaurant watched in awe how the girls were taken away, fighting and scratching, by the police officers.After the elevator closed, the restaurant burst into an uproar. "What? They were arrested?""What did they do?""I overheard the police officer say conspiracy to commit murder.""That lady is lucky then. She could have been roped up with them if anything had happened.""Did you hear that slap? The lady who was slapped looked hilarious." Ford and Sue hear everything but just ignore them. Soon, they were done eating and they just walked out without paying.Inside the elevator, Ford turns to face Sue."Since they are gone now, will you tell me what really happened that had them thinking of doing terrible things to you?"Sue laughs. "You never let go do you?""It's what got me this far.""Fine then. When you left earlier, they picked a fight with me in the elevator until we got to the restaurant where I was forced to slap the short haired one so they will leave me alone whi
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Ella and Evans Steele
As is the routine, Ford leaves for work first, this time, taking Ashley with him to find her a suitable school, while Sue takes the land cruiser downtown to the B&F headquarters, to discuss about further compensation.Actually, Sue wasn't the one who contacted them, they had been the ones to contact her, hoping she stops by their office to clear every misunderstanding that had arisen between the two brands and Sue had made it a point to go so they won't think she's been snobby or anything like that.On getting there, she goes into the building and walks to the receptionist, different from the one there the other time as Freya is back in Dallas, filling up for her absence.Sue makes it a point to call them before the end of the day."Welcome to B&F Atlanta. How can I help you ma'am?" She smiles and Sue suspects its a fake one, just the kind you give to everybody to secure your job, but she smiles back anyway."I'm being expected. Sue Greene.""I see. Please take the elevator to the fif
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. An admirer who has to give up admiring.
"No. I don't serve alcohol in my office Evans. Neither do I drink.""Is that supposed to please her?" Evans asks, nodding subtly at Sue's way"Fine. I drink just a little bit. What about you Sue? Should we really get a drink?""I haven't drank in a long while so I'd love to get back on my feet on my own so I know if my alcohol tolerance is still as it used to be, unless you want to talk to me with me hiccuping every three seconds."Evans laughs. "Don't worry, I'll drink coffee then."Ella looks knowingly at Evans but says nothing. "Bring in three cups of coffee for us, with the usuals."Since most of the meeting had been gone through, Sue didn't not see any reason to remind her that she had chosen juice earlier."What are the usuals? They sound sketchy.""Why do you always doubt my reasoning? You're the most suspicious one here. The usual is milk and sugar. Fine?""Well, you could have said with milk and sugar."Ella shakes her head, possibly wondering what she had done in her last li
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. At the Mason Mall
Balancing her little butt on her laps, Sue sits straight and looks over at Ford who seems to want to pass out."I'm sure you had a lot of fun with her." Sue teases him"I'm sure she did. I'm not sure about myself though." He sighs and sits up straight."So... How did the preschool hunt go?""I found a good one. It's a little over ten minutes away from the villa. It's a really great school. And I know the foundation that owns the school. She's to start tomorrow. I wonder why they couldn't have let her start today"Sue smiles in understanding. "Really? How about we go drop her off together tomorrow morning?""Sure. We'll leave home early together in that case.""Yes. There's a little something we have to do anyway.""What's that?" Ford asks and sits up, adjusting his tie and going back to the CEO mode."When we came down here, to Atlanta, it was supposed to be be a two day one night stay so I packed light. Really light. I'll have to go shopping if she's to start school and I need more c
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Situation in the Mason Mall
Holding the pair of pink shoes with shining stars around it in her hands, Sue knew it was something she wanted for her daughter. It matched perfectly with the lacy cuffed gown she had picked earlier.Still looking through it's design, the shoes are rudely grabbed from Sue's hands. In the process, one of the edges of the sharp tipped star on the back of the shoe scratches Sue's hands and the skin there is red immediately.Sue pulls back her hands with a sharp gasp at the sudden pain that passed through her hands. "I want to buy that shoe for someone." The person who had snatched it said, without any apology for the wound she caused, and to top it off, her rude manner.Sue raised her head, aiming a glare at the rude woman but is quite surprised when she sees Alexa looking back at her. Both of them are quite surprised to see one another."What are you..." Alexa starts but Sue cuts in. "Where are your manners? Are you allowed to take something like that from someone?"Alexa scoffs. "You
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Respected and Ridiculed
Leaving the boutique with Ashley clutching her hands, Sue is smiling from ear to ear.She could remember all the times she had ever come to the shopping mall with Sharon and Alexa. She had always been the one to carry all the bags. She hadn't seen much meaning to it back then but now, everything is been done on a platter of gold for her, just because she knows someone. Someone really powerful and special.Special...Sue sighs heavily, still conflicted whether she should be covetous and stay with Ford or she should just forgo everything and just decide to stay with him. As soon as she thought that, Ashley squeezed her hand, as though she was leaning into the right thought at that second.Sue smiled and picks up her daughter and they get into the land cruiser waiting for them outside.As soon as they settle, her phone rings.An unknown number.Sue groans. "Who's this now...?"She picks the call though, knowing surely that it wasn't Ford, Alexa or Sharon because she already had their nu

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

"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,
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Revenge (Brian)
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.

"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."
