Chapter 87FINDING SOPHIE....RYANS POVI got ready hurrily as I prepared for work that morning.I was so delighted that I had been called back to work and could barely hide my excitement. Tana seemed to have noticed it as she peered at me suspiciously wondering what I was so happy about." Did something happen?"she asked peering at me, " you seem to be in such a good mood this morning." She added as she sat on the bed watching me. " Nah, nothing happened, I am just excited this morning." I responded as I packed my suitcase to leave. " Breakfast is served, you should eat something." She said standing up to accompany me." I am running late, catch you up later." I said as I raced out of the room to the front yard to leave for work. As I arrived at the office, I headed for Karl's office, I needed to appreciate him for giving me back my job.His secretary was not around when I arrived and I wondered why, she was not one to arrive late to the office, I knocked on Karl's door and went in as
Chapter 88GETTING MY LOVE BACK!!!CASSENDRA POV" He would come crawling back to me." I muttered to myself elated with what I had done. I was confident that he would do away with Sophie and then I would have my place in his life. I loved Karl and this seemed like the possible way of keeping him all to myself.As I left Karl's office optimistic about what I had done, I headed to where my car was parked. I drive home enthusiastic and delighted singing along with the radio on my car.I arrived home and noticed a car parked on my drive way. " Who was it?" I questioned as I parked my car. I was sure I was expecting no visitors so i wondered who would be at my house and not call to inform me. I hurrily walked to my apartment and to my greatest amazement it was Jordan and my mum. " What did he want." I sighed and went on to greet my mum." Hi, mum." I raced to hug her as I got to where she was, I looked at Jordan with a scrowl on my face. " I am so sorry mum, I did not know you were here."
Chapter 89KIDNAPPED..SOPHIE'S POV." We need to get some more groceries." I muttered to myself, after I had checked through the refrigerator discovering we barely had any more food left. As I made breakfast that morning, my mind went back to the conversation I had with Cassey on the phone the previous night. A mischievous smile played on my lips as I thought about what I did after the call, it was childish and it made me laugh as I thought about it. I had blocked her number and deleted all evidence of our call so Karl would not find out and I would have a defense against any accusations when she confronted Karl about it."No more interruptions or reminders of Karl's past." I mumbled as I tried to figure out a way to get her off Karl for good. I was Karl's wife afterall and I deserved some respect." She was going to keep on calling." I smirked as I got the table ready. I called everyone out of their rooms and we all sat as we ate quietly after saying the grace." The meal is delic
Chapter 90SOPHIE IS MISSING...KARL'S POV" Sophie, why aren't you picking up? ...... I need the files I talked to you about." I said as I got out my office to talk to Sophie, I was already furious because she was not picking the telecom and I had to come out of the office to talk to her. Strangely she was not at her desk and when I tried to check, I noticed her car was not parked at the garage either, it seemed she had not been at the office all day. " Sophie, you gat to be kidding me." I muttered, as I walked back into my office to call her." I will not tolerate this act of insubordination." I said as I scrolled through my phone. She had no reason to be late as far as I was concerned and if she was she better had a valid reason for it." Why was she late?" I wondered, when she only had to drop the kids at school which was barely few miles away from the office.I sighed irritated by what was happening as I picked up the phone to dialed her number. The phone rang repeatedly with no
Chapter 91COME BACK PLEASE..SOPHIE'S POV.As the car stopped, I could hear the guys who had abducted me talk in low tones. " We should call the boss to tell her the job is done." As I listened to them, I realised I had been kidnapped by someone who knew me and likely had a grudge against me. Was this about Claire? I wondered, and for a moment there I hated the idea of being Karls wife as I thought maybe I could have been kidnapped because of Claire's enemies."Maybe they thought I was Claire?" I muttered and decided I was going to tell the the truth, I could not die because I was doing a job for money. " It was not a crime to find money." I thought to myself.I took a deep breath and gathered my courage. As the car door opened, I was carried out, my eyes still blindfold and with a determined look on my face, I spoke to them hoping they would listen as the call with the supposed boss ended."Listen," I began, interrupting their conversation. "I think there's been a misunderstandin
Chapter 92DON'T DIE ON MEKARL'S POVI got to the school and it was about time to pick the kids up as school had dismissed when I arrived. I saw Davis and Selene at the entrance waiting for Sophie. " Where is mummy?" Selene asked me staring suspiciously at the car, I did not answer at first. I could not have the kids knowing Sophie was missing just yet till I confirmed my suspicions. " If Sophie was not here, where was she?" I wondered." Mummy has some errands to run darling, she would be back soon." I replied hoping she would not ask any more questions." But she did not tell me she would not be picking us up." Selene said, I glared at her trying to figure out how to respond to her queries. " It was urgent and enough with the questions we should go home." I responded finally, Davis did not mind as he was engrossed with his cell phone, he hopped in and his backpack accidentally hit Selene's leg. "Ouch" She let out a yelp of pain, and I quickly reached over to comfort her. "I'm sorr
Chapter 93OH NO!!!KARL'S POV" Stay with me, Claire." I whispered, holding Claire in my hands. She was still, and I was overcome with worry that she was about to die. "How was I going to tell Davis that his mother had passed away?" Gazing at her and shaking her to check for a reaction, I thought to myself.After the call, the driver came running up to where I was and requested me to stop shaking her. "What happened here, Sir?" he questioned. " How would I know? I met her lying lifeless on the floor when I came in." I responded rather rudely, he stared at her for a moment's gesturing for me to let go of her."Sir, may I check to see whether the pulse is still there?" I halted briefly to observe him after what he said. " What did he know?" I questioned as I hesitated before letting Claire go. "If he could help, he didn't matter what he knew it did not know." I thought to myself.He put her in a comfortable position and reached for her wrist while I watched, wondering how he knew all
Chapter 94HIDDEN TRUTH..SOPHIE'S POVAs I walked up to the front garden, the kids were already with Karl, and although Selene informed him that I had taken them out, the fact was that we had only strolled around the area. I wanted to get my thoughts straight so I could pretend everything was fine and Karl would not notice anything was off. He raised his head to check who was accompanying the children, as if he did not trust the story. " Could I blame him?" after all that had happened. I went missing for several hours, with no one to account for my whereabouts. Karl's expression of surprise and relief upon seeing me was palpable. " Did he miss me?" I wondered in my thoughts as I walked towards them. I was grateful to be back with my daughter. " Did he find out the truth?" I thought as Karl stared at me surprised as I moved closer them. "Hi, dad," Davis remarked as he went into the house.My heart raced as I desperately tried to come up with a believable excuse. I did not want Karl
