"Jacqueline, what is it?" he asked realizing she wasn't her usual self."Nothing just woke up sick," she replied and Ethan looked at her questioningly. "Hangover?" he asked "I guess," she replied shrugging her shoulder She excused herself and headed for her room, leaving Ethan in the corridor. Ethan was happy she was not throwing her usual advances and seductive actions at him today but it seemed like too abrupt an end."Did someone say something to her?" he wondered looking in the direction of her door She exited her room after a few minutes and walked towards him looking down. She wore a loose crop top and a flared skirt which was long enough to cover her knees. Noting like her usual body-con outfits which were always ten inches above her knees yet she still looked beautiful. They both headed for the restaurant and had their breakfast in silence. Ethan noticed she was unusually quiet. It was the third day of their second conference and even though he was happy she was not bothe
"How is Camilla not answering her phone connected to something I did years ago," he asked with a frown"Your daughter is trying to do something for herself. That is your job," he yelled at him surprising him."What are you talking about?" Mr Garcia questioned her wondering how Camila's phone being off is connected to him sleeping with a maid years ago when Camila was not even born. "It is your fault, Matthew. I am a mother and I can feel within me Camila is in trouble. And if my motherly instinct is right, whatever happens to Camila is your fault," Mrs Garcia whined "Eva, I think I have condoned you blaming me for years for one mistake I committed which you played a role in. For how long must I apologize for that?" he blurted out "Until my soul is appeased," she said facing him squarely "Eva, I accept I acted foolishly under the influence of alcohol but I would be in my bed sleeping and would not have drunk myself to stupidity if you had not sent me away from my home because of y
"He is about to fall into another trap?" he reported "What do you mean?" he asked "My first encounter with Mr Green was at a conference in California," he began as they both sat down in the small office. "He seems like a nice person. We talked about business and he suggested a partnership which did sound like a good idea after telling me what he said he was into. I had an idea for an entrepreneur training centre. I decided we can go fifty-fifty on that but I visited him unannounced and found out something shocking," Mr Carter narrated. "What did you find out?" Andrews asked "He is a con artist. That is how he earned his wealth," he replied "He was giving instructions to someone on the phone and he didn't know I was there. His security man allowed me in because it wasn't my first time coming over to his apartment. And his guards didn't bother about me either. I left the same way I had come in. I suspect he may have seen me," Mr Carter narrated "Why didn't you call the police on h
"You are the worst thing that happened to me. I am sure you will soon add Jonathan to the list of people who have to pay for your stupid mistake," she added looking at him behind the wheel.Mr Garcia remained silent behind the wheel as he drove towards home."You are a disgrace. I regret the day I stood on the altar and said I do to you. My life would have been better off without you. I wish you never fathered Jonathan and Camila. You good for nothing piece of shit," she cursed, yelling at him at the top of her voice."I am sure your parents are turning in their graves cursing the day you were born," she said and the car came to an abrupt stop almost throwing her off if not for the seat belt."Enough woman. Nineteen years and you still throw the same thing up my face. How long are you going to bring that up anytime something bad happens? Camila pooped in her diaper and it was because I slept with the maid, Jonathan broke his leg at a football game and is my fault because I slept with
Isabella tried calling Camila's phone one more time on her way to the station and this time it went through. She found a place and parked the car waiting for the phone to be answered "Hello Camila," she said as soon as the call was answered. "Hmm," came the voice from the other end of the phone."Camila, are you alright? Your parents are worried sick about you. They even went to the police station to file a missing person's report. Where are you?" she said and the call was disconnected. "Camila," she called her name but heard the disconnection tone.She tried calling again and it went through but no answer. She tried again and it went to voicemail. "Why will Camila do that?" she thought and put the car into motion heading for the police station Mrs Garcia had mentioned to her. At the police station, Mr. and Mrs. Garcia were with Inspector Davis answering some questions about their daughter"Okay, just to make sure I have everything here to begin the search. You said the last time
The man spoke to his wife and left the house with the officers. They sat in his car and they headed for the destination, where he had dropped Camila off four days ago.Meanwhile, Jonathan with the help of some connected friends has also found the location where Camila was dropped off and was already on his way there. He arrived at the location and parked his car a distance away from the apartment which was very visible from where he was. He studied the environment for a while. The environment was serene and aside from one small house sitting on a vast land with a very short fence, all the other houses were far away."Looks like someone bought this land for a project and maybe decided to put this small house on it," he thought and planned on how to go inside without being noticed. There were some planted bushes around the huge compound almost the same height as the fence. Jonathan after slowly getting close to the fence lay down on his belly and and hid himself behind the bushes. He
Dr Chloe typed a message;[You know what to do with the guard outside]She sent it and smiled at the acknowledgement. She drove away from the location.At the hospital, Jonathan and Camila were both sent to the ER. Jonathan was the first to come out with a plaster on his nose bridge. His parents arrived at the hospital and he frowned seeing them."Jonathan, please let's talk about this later. Let's take care of your sister first," Mr Garcia said seeing Jonathan was about to leave the moment they walked in.He stood there with his father holding him but said nothing. He shifted his gaze to his unusually silent mother. "I will wait in the car," he said and headed for the exit."Inspector Davis," Mr Garcia said when he saw Davis walking towards him."Did you find the one who had my daughter?" he asked. "There was no one there. It looks as if they knew we were coming and ran off. The call made by her friend alerted them. But not to worry, we will keep investigating until we find who was
"Perfect. Finally, I will get what I want," she said with a smile as she hugged Ethan and Jacqueline later. She didn't know what Mr Green had in mind for her. "So how was the conference?" Mrs Carter asked once they were all seated in the living room. Jacqueline was sitting next to Ethan with both hands stretched over the back of the sofa. Mrs Carter sat on the sofa adjacent to them. "It was great. Ethan was just amazing. The people learnt a lot from his presentations and they asked good questions indicating they were listening to everything he was saying and were ready to put them to action," Jacqueline replied with a smile while Ethan just stared at her side profile. "Was it all work or was there time to tour the city?" she asked to find out if they were able to spend some time alone. "The schedule was very tight but we had the chance to visit one of their amazing restaurants before returning to New York," Ethan replied and Jacqueline smiled. "Well, it is good to be back hom
