Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Ash's Glam Atlanta.
The few days after are quite uneventful apart from the notes James manages to send everyday to Sue's room using the nurses as some sort of courier service, Ford flitting in and out, visibly impatient, waiting for Sue to be set freein Ford's words, or in more appropriate terms, discharged from the hospital.Ashley has taken a temporary base with Darlene and Tanya including going to school and going back home. Once in a while, Ford will bring her to visit her mum in the hospital. She'll play for a bit and then go back to Darlene's or even Holly's.Bored out of her head and restored back to health, at least most of it, she plays scrabble with Jean whenever she's around and they chat for sometime before it's past visiting hours and stuffs.Finally, Ford signs the form for her discharge and Sue is allowed to leave for home.For days on end, Ford had been somewhat busy, all around the place, always talking to someone on his phone and most times, Marshall and then sometimes other people that

"I have you with me."His words warm her heart and she blushes. She gives him a small hug and he places a light kiss on her forehead."I would have loved to stay right now but I'm expected in the kitchen. Would you like to eat?""Anything you make, I'm sure it'll be delicioso."Sue laughs. "Delicioso? Cute."She leaves the room, happy that there doesn't seem to be any secrets between them anymore.What could she possibly wish for again? She had her family, immediate and extended, her own happy daughter, a loving man by her side, a beautiful booming business with her as the CEO and Founder and many more joys more than she could wish for, somehow she feels that as long as she has Ford alongside her, she'll be quite fine.She walks into the kitchen the women chopping and chatting away. She joins them and soon, the whole house smells of something delicioso cooking. Ashley is wide awake and disturbing everyone she can and when she laughs, she's so cute with the little teeth in her mouth ju
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. New Work means New Responsibilities...
"Come on, not again Ash..." Sue groans while trying to get Ashley into her cloth for the day. Almost like the little girl knows she's frustrating her mom, she keeps running around the room, throwing stuff around and jumping around.Sue sighs. "I wonder why she's in such a good mood today." Ford comments by the doorway. Sue had not seen him come in so she turns around to face him."Good morning." She greets him and Ford pecks her lightly on the lips. "I would have said my own good morning back to you but it's starting to seem like it's stressful morning instead. Let me help you, go sit."Ford grabs Ashley with one hand as she tries to evade him."My little ninja. Come on, don't you want to see Chris today?"Sue furrows her brows. "Chris? Who's Chris?""Oh, she's your daughter's new best friend. He's a he." He whispers as he pushes down the gown atop her head while she fusses. "I'm sorry I didn't say this up till now but she was pushed up a class."Sue looks pleasantly surprised. "Rea
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. An Invite that needs to be Honoured.
It's as usual with Tara, Ford's office Tara, except that she doesn't come to escort as she always does and somehow, Sue appreciates it so there won't be anything to dampen her mood at that particular time.Also, she learned some very hot gossip about Tara from Elise. The whole company knew when she broke up with her boyfriend and that she had looked so miserable the past week but when Sue saw her, she didn't look like she had any rough moments at all.Sue just passed it off as being that Ford is back to work now means no slacking off in any area. Tara eyes her as she passes by but Sue doesn't even give her a glance.As soon as Sue opens the door, someone blocks her entrance immediately so she sidesteps to give him a little space to exit the office.Ford raises her head as she comes in. His tie loose round his neck, his suit hanging neatly hm behind his chair, his hair perfect, he's leaning down and arranging something on the table.She smiles upon seeing him and walks over to give him
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Nervous to meet Her.
The next few days were a breeze.Raya took the airport back home to her new apartment and official car in Dallas after signing contracts with Sue, all drafted by Ford's lawyer, same with Tara who couldn't help but shed one or two drops of tears after Raya's departure.Now down in Dallas, she's able to go work on behalf of Sue on most days, while Sue also goes to work and sometimes end up at Ford's place, her mum's place all of them with Ashley.The day of the party crawled closer and Sue feels like she's physically prepared to face the boss of the Mason family, Darlene Mason. About being mentally prepared, she's not sure yet, she will know whenever she arrives at the mansion where the party is to be held.With the theme of the birthday party, it'll be done outside in their garden. It's going to be an outside affair so Sue doesn't have to ruminate so long on what to wear.Basically, Sue made her own cloth to wear to the party and bought other accessories, neckless, shoes and bag from h
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Meeting with Darlene Mason
To say that at that moment, Sue is nervous is a big understatement. She is worse than nervous."Would you walk with me?" Darlene asks, fixing her wide light brown coloured eyes on hers, almost like she's daring Sue to say no and run away.Sue swallows and throws Ford an offside glance. Having no choice in the situation, she nods. "Of course ma'am."Darlene turns around almost with a soldier like stance that read nothing more than "follow me bitch." Sue manges to fall into step with her and slowly and slowly, they leave where the party is being held.They enter the house and Darlene leads her to what looks like a dining room. It had a deep brown brushed wooden table in the table and chairs designed with the same wood but pillows on the chairs, arranged neatly around the table.Darlene takes a seat and motions Sue to also have a seat opposite her. Darlene does not say anything for a moment and an attendant dressed in the party officiating clothes bring them two glasses on wine on a tray
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Staying Overnight
Almost like everyone had been waiting with bated breath for them to emerge from the house.Darlene and Sue emerge from the backdoor, Darlene's hand still draped on Sue's shoulder. Everyone turns to look at them and then they started to clink glasses and laughing.Sue glances at Darlene, wondering if she knew what is going on but neither of them know what it is.Ford is in the middle of everyone, laughing and collecting money from some people who were also laughing and clapping hands, glancing at Sue and Darlene from time to time. Ford sees them and keeps the money in his pocket, looking guilty.Darlene walks to him and pulls out all the money he had his in his pocket. "what is this?""It's nothing Mum."Tanya clears her throat on a microphone, her words sounding slurry. She's obviously very tipsy. "Mic test mic test." Darlene facepalms and then turns to Sue. "Leave your children for a minute, one becomes a gambler and the other is drunk. Tanya! Get off that stage now." Darlene orders
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. That Bitch, Sue.
After they have eaten, everyone reclines on the lounge outside the house, getting some air or something really close to that. They all have cute plates of fruits, mixed fruits in front of them all.They eat in silence and quiet which is almost kind of weird. And in this sort of silence, It is silence gotten watching something.Ford is being a little playful. He keeps trying to feed Sue who keeps on rejecting and then going red and then the cycle all over again. Tanya is sniggering where she's sitting, watching it happen. Darlene just shakes her head.Finally, Sue takes the fruit from him just to let him leave her alone. She turns red when she meets Darlene's eyes and hurriedly looks away."Don't feel embarrassed darling. You're among family although my son can be a little overbearing. You'll get used to it."Sue smiles. "Tomorrow is Saturday. Why don't you stay till Sunday? I like having you around and maybe you can tell me a few things about yourself."Sue understands what she mean

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?

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.
