Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Sad Lives.
Its a pretty long drive from the villa but soon enough, they arrive at the company building.Sue gets down and holds Ashley. She gaped up at the building made through and through with glass. She looked up but the early afternoon sun shine directly into her eyes and didn't ler her see the top of the building. It must have been about fifty floors if not more, Sue mused and felt the slight tug from Ashley."Carry." She raised her two small arms towards the sky, waiting for her mum to pick her up. Sue laughs and picks her up, wondering when Ashley learnt to speak words that are not just Mama and Yes and No.Children grow fast, she thought as she made for the entrance. As she was about to enter through the swiveling doors, she catches sight of a woman, a pretty old woman who's shuffling slowly on her feet.She seems to want to cross the road but the green light is already blinking, about to go back to red.Sue hands Ashley to the driver and tells him to wait for her that she'll be back. As
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Coffee and Kisses
At the lobby of the building, a lady smiles at Sue. "Welcome to Mason ma'am. How can I help you?"Sue smiles back easily. "I'm here to meet Ford Mason."The lady looks taken aback. "Who again?""Mr Mason.""Please excuse me..." She steps away for a moment and taps a woman in suit sitting not far away. Sue knows they are talking about her so she smiles their way.The woman in suit gets up hurriedly. "Are you Miss Sue?""Yes... Yes I am." She's apparently relieved that she's recognized by someone at least. "I'm sorry. She just arrived so she didn't hear the news. This way please."The lady leads her to an elevator different from the regular elevators on the side. She presses her key card to a scanner and the elevator opens. They both get inside."If you don't mind, we'll stop on the fifty first floor first so you can leave the pretty girl with a nurse. She was specifically prepared for your coming."Sue smiled in embarrassment.On the fifty first floor, Sue steps out with the suit woma
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Lilacs and Dandelions in a Bouquet
Red and embarrassed, she pours herself a glass of orange juice, hoping it wipes her mind clean of unclean thoughts that seem to encompass her mind everytime she spends with Ford.Stuttering, "Uhm... Uhm... You got Ash a nice playground." She desperately fought to change the topic. Ford understood but didn't want to pursue it when she's so flustered so he plays along."I got the best the company had to offer. I flew her in from Manchester." He bragged and took his seat. Just for her to know how much everything that concerns her make first priority.She smiles, getting the drift. Drinking another glass of orange juice, she leans down and gets comfortable in the soft large chair."Don't you think you're drinking too much of that juice?""Orange juice is never too much to drink from..."Ford's telephone rings on the table. He grunts and walks over to pick it up. "Yes? I told you I didn't want any disturbances?""It's urgent? What is it?"Sue just closes her eyes, though not asleep."EMC r
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Locked In.
Back at the company, things were a bit awkward as Sue kept looking outside, unable to meet Ford's eyes through the ride back to Mason.Sue goes to get Ashley but met her fast asleep with a large teddy bear held tightly to her small body. Not wanting to wake her up, she stays there with her, waiting for her to wake up or something but then Sue sleeps off beside her.Suddenly, Sue wakes up with a start. She wiped her eyes thinking simply that she must have dozed off. But then her eyes adjusted to her surroundings and she sees or rather, she does not see what she expected to see.She woke up at night, she'd been asleep for hours.Ashley was already awake and was bounding with so much energy and rattling toys all around. Sue stood up and went to the door. She tried to open it but found it locked. She gripped it harder and pulled with all her might but the door did not budge nor make any sign of moving or opening for her.Glancing at Ashley who seemed curious as to what her mother was doi
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

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. 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

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.
