Few minutes later, the meeting started and he left for the hall. Alfred couldn’t concentrate on the meeting so we’ll because his mind was at home. He wanted to go home quickly and share the Good news with Vanessa that Kiara was out if his life for Good. The meeting took longer than he expected and head no choice than to stay until they were done. 7:30pm, The meeting was over. Alfred didn’t stay to exchange greetings with the Delegates sent from The Wendy’s, he was also glad that they didn’t send the Nala the last born of the Family. He quickly left the office because his Assistant didn’t come with him to the company. He entered the house beaming with smile and saw Mandy coming out from Mara’s room. He looked at her from head to toe and Chuckled, Mandy was wearing a short tight skirt with a sleeveless crop top, her belly button was outside and she was wearing a black high heel shoes. “ You are back” She smiled happily when she saw Alfred. “ What were you doing there?” He asked
“ Mandy” He said u der his breath. Mandy didn’t come out of her room when everyone was looking for Mara. She heard their voices but she was so tired from staying out late the previous night. “ Where is Mara” Alfred asked in anger immediately he barged in to her room. “ Why are you asking me that question?” She asked him sitting upright. “ Where did you take her?” He yelled at her and Mandy Chuckled. “ Hey, stop yelling at me. I don’t know what you are talking about” She rolled her eyes. “ And you should have knocked on my door and not barged in like that. I don’t like it” Alfred was getting more and more Angrier, he moved closer to the bed and grabbed her ear. “ Tell me where my daughter is or I’ll get you arrested” He threatened her. “ Did Vanessa told you to come threatened me? I don’t know where Mara is” She said in pains. “ Do not accuse Vanessa of what she doesn’t know, tell me where Mara is and I’ll pretend this never happened” He said calmly. “ or what? What would you do
“ You are interrogating my maid After what I said to you? Are you suspecting me or what?” Mandy asked, she looked at Mona who was shedding tears and hissed. “ And what do you think you are doing?” She yelled at her. “ I…I’m sorry ma’am” Mona apologized. “ Get inside now!!” She commanded and Mona ran inside. “ Stay away from me and my maid” She warned Alfred and returned inside. “ Mandy is surely behind this” Alfred Nodded his head. Tow days passed by but all search for Mara proved abortive. The house became so silent Asif there were no people living there, Alfred was always outside looking for Mara. Vanessa didn’t know where to go looking for Mara and so she stayed at home crying and praying. Alfred had asked and pleaded with Mandy Several times but Mandy stood on her words, he still didn’t believe her because she was the only person that left and returned home that night. Vanessa was sitting down on the floor in a crouch position, She was sobbing. If only she knew that would h
“ Vanessa, calm down. Do not cry again, We’ll surely get Mara back from her. All we have to do is to keep an eye on her” Derek said and Vanessa nodded her head. “ I agree with you, I don’t even trust her” She sighed. “ Let’s go” Vanessa said and they left the room. They went back to the sitting room and Derek sat on the sofa. “ Do you need anything?” She asked him. “ Just water please” He said and Vanessa Chuckled. “ Okay” She entered the kitchen, Bella and Mary were there. They watched Vanessa as she brought out a bottle of water from the fridge, she took one glass cup from the rack and left the kitchen. “ Oh poor thing, I Really feel for her” Bella said sadly. “ Yes I feel for her too, whoever did this to her will never find peace” Mary said sadly too. “ I hope so too. But why would someone Kidnap a little girl? Doesn’t he or she have a heart? Mara doesn’t know anything” Bella sighed. “ But aren’t you suspecting Mandy?” Mary asked her and she shushed her. “ Keep your voice dow
“ And who told you Mandy is behind this? Your suppose Boyfriend I think” He Snapped. “ wow! Stop pretending you don’t know she’s behind this. I’ve been observing you all this while, you are always going to her room. What are you doing there? Are you having an affair with her or you are interrogating her?” Vanessa asked and he became speechless, he didn’t know Vanessa Was observing him all those while he was going to Mandy. “ Mandy is my sister and I have the right to go to her room” He said and she Laughed. “ But why did you start going to her room when Since Mara got missing? You know what, I’m so fed up already. Tell your sister to give me my daughter and we’ll be out of your lives. You don’t deserve us, I made a mistake by agreeing to stay with you” Vanessa said in tears and left the room Angrily. “ You can go wherever you want to go I don’t care!” He Said after her. Vanessa ran to the room, she locked herself in and started crying.----“ This is becoming serious” Mary said to
“ I know Mara will return, they’ll bring her back” She said and he nodded his head. “ Yes I know that too. Do you want to eat your food here while you wait for her?” He asked and she nodded her head. Derek went inside the room , he carried the plate of Noodles and a juice and came out of the house. “ Here, make sure you eat everything” She took it from him and started eating. “ I’ve missed your food a lot” Vanessa Said and he smiled. “ Really, I know. I’m the best chef ever” They both laughed. “ It’s good seeing you laugh again” Derek said. They stayed outside for hours but no sign of Mara, It was already late in the night and everywhere was so Cold. “ Vanessa, let’s Go inside” Derek said standing up. “ But what if She comes back after we went Inside?” She asked him and he smiled. “ I don’t think they’ll bring her back Today, She will come back to you tomorrow” He persuaded her but Vanessa wouldn’t listen. He kept on and on and at last, she followed him inside the house. ----Next
Vanessa sat on the couch with Mara on her thigh. “ Are you hungry?” She asked and Mara nodded her head. “ I’m so Hungry, they didn’t give me any food Today” Mara cried. “ What do you want to eat?” Derek asked her, he was so mad that those traitors didn’t even give her something to eat. “ Food” Mara said and he left for the kitchen. “ Baby, Do you know who took you from your room?” Vanessa asked but Mara didn’t know. “ No” She said. “ Is it Mandy?” Vanessa asked again. “ I don’t know” She said. Vanessa hugged her again and again, “ I missed you so much baby. Thanks for coming back to me” Vanessa said sobbing. An hour later, Mara’s energy was restored. She ate a lot from the food and Vanessa cleaned her up and changed a dress for her. She was still in the pajamas they took her with. Vanessa lay on the bed with Mara holding on to her, she couldn’t be more happier. “ Mummy, why are you in Uncle Derek’s house? Where’s Daddy?” Mara asked innocently. “ I packed out of that house Baby,
Alfred returned back to the hotel, he was shocked, Confused, Angry and devastated. He couldn’t believe what the man told him at The CBI, He threw the papers on the bed and sighed deeply.“ This is unbelievable, oh God please I hope this is just a dream. Yes it’s a dream, I’ll just wake up and everything would be back to normal” He nodded his head. “ Who an I kidding, this isn’t a dream it’s the reality” Alfred closed his house. “ What Should I tell Vanessa, how would I even tell her?” He picked up his phone to call her but dropped it again. “ Things would get worst even if I tell her now, I’ll wait until we found Mara” He Agreed with his decision. “ Or maybe I should give her a call and ask where she is” He dialed her number and it started ringing. “ please answer” Vanessa didn’t answer the phone, he tried again but she didn’t answer the call and when he tried for the third time, her phone was switched off. “ Oh Vanessa, I’m so sorry. Please Answer my call” He tried again but it
“ Let’s live in the same house with Everyone, with Aunt Mandy, Little Daddy and Grandma. I want to stay with everyone” She Said happily. “ Okay then, let’s do that” Vanessa said to Alfred. “ That’s Good, I like that too. But are you sure you can stay in a family house?” He asked and she laughed softly. “ Of course I Can” She said and he smiled. “ I can’t believe this is happening, it’s just like a dream. Vanessa, I can’t thank you enough” ----- The Day finally came, The Day of Vanessa and Alfred’s wedding. It was such a beautiful sight to behold. Everywhere was so beautiful, decorated in Colorful Flowers. Vanessa was dressed in a beautiful white gown embroidered with White Crystals and petals, Her hairs was parked in a Bun with a Crystal crown on her head and a very big Veil that Streamed on the floor as she walked. In her hands was a beautiful pure white Bouquet with Crystal beads decorated on them. She was Sitting in the waiting room when Mary came in, Mary And Abby and Bella whe
“ Wow! Really? And you didn’t tell me” Jonah rolled his eyes. “ She told me earlier when I visited her in the hospital” Alfred defended himself. “ Wow! Vanessa and Alfred are finally getting married. I’m so happy for you girlfriend” Derek hugged Vanessa but Alfred pushed him away. “ Don’t hug her again” He said and they all laughed. “ Alfred is already getting jealous” Mandy teased. “ I’m Jealous” They all turned to Jonah “ You missed. Your chance and I found your brother” Vanessa stuck out her tongue at him and they all laughed. “ Yes I missed my chance and I’ll never repeat that again.” He promised. “ Then you should live back the girl who is in love with you” Alfred said and he sighed. “ If only I could find a girl that likes me, I’ll Marry her” He said sadly. “ Of course there is” Alfred said smiling. “ Who?” Jonah asked. “ Bella of course, I told you already” He said and turned to Vanessa. “ I’ll Come back tomorrow, we’ll be getting Mandy’s things move to my house today” He
“ See.. our parents are gone and so are yours but yours is different because your Daddy is still alive” He reminded her. “ But it’s just like he’s gone. I’ll never see him again for the rest of my life, Grandma Warned us not to go anywhere closer to that prison” She cried. Alfred hugged her and patted her back softly. “ Mandy, look around you. Your love ones are here with you” He said and she lifted up her head. “ But they all left, they would have stayed when I wanted them to if only Dad was here” She cried. “ No not them, I mean us. You have grandma, you have me, you have Jonah and there’s Also Vanessa and Mara” “ Did Grandma approved of Vanessa and Mara?” She asked and Alfred smiled. “ Yes, you are the first person to know about this” He said and Mandy sighed. “ Lucky you, you now have someone to live happy with for the rest of your life. But look at me, I’m all alone” She sniffed. “ No girl, don’t say that again. Have you forgotten there’s someone else apart from us?” He asked.
“ I’m Ready to get Marry” He said and she smiled. “ Wonderful! That’s My Favorite grandchild” She said and Alfred Chuckled. “ I’m Not your favorite Grandchild. Where’s Mandy?” He asked. “ She’s Angry with me and has refused to come visit me” She sighed. “ Anyways, let’s talk about your marriage. I’ve find you a girl to marry, don’t worry, she’s a Good girl” Grandma said smiling. “ A girl? But I’ve already found who I want to marry” He said and she shook her head. “ Alfred , don’t tell me you still hand around that Girl” She said and he nodded his head. “ Yes, she’s the mother of my Child. Grandma please allow me to marry Vanessa or I go away from this City and never returns” He said. “ You can go wherever you want to go I don’t care. All I know is you must marry the girl I found for you” She said and he sighed. “ Tell me who the girl is” Alfred said and her face brightened up. “ I found her from the WENDY’S. What’s her name again?” She thought. “ Don’t tell me” Alfred said surpris
“ Vanessa, The Boss is here” Vanessa came out of her room with a swollen eyes. She has been crying for three days non stop. “ What do you want?” She asked him and he Stepped forward. “ No stay there, Don’t move a step closer” She said to him and Alfred Stopped. “ Vanessa, I know what you are going through right now. Please, forgive me, Forgive my family for what we did to you” Alfred apologized. “ Tell me, what did my mum did to them?” She asked and Alfred Shook his head. “ I’m Sorry Vanessa” He Apologized. “ Just tell me” “ My Uncles said they found your mum trying to run into a moving truck. They saved her and she told them she wanted to kill herself because she was tired of this world, she said the man that promised to marry her ran away after you were born. She was hopeless, Her parents had Disowned her and that was when they used her against my Parents” He explained sadly. “ Wait, if I understand you correctly. You mean your Uncles staged your parents Accident using my Mum. Lik
Alfred and Jonah visited their Uncles in prison, they were taken to a room to speak with them. Alfred Forced Jonah there if not, Jonah didn’t want to go. He didn’t want to see the faces of the murderers but Alfred told him there was something he wanted to hear from them. “ Alfred, please Help us seek for Mum’s forgiveness. We regret what we did to your parents, Please forgive us” Mandy’s Dad pleaded. “ You want us to forgive you after all that? No way” Jonah said “ Jonah, please calm down” Alfred tapped his shoulder. “ There’s nothing I can do for you, I didn’t come here to listen to your pleas. There’s something I want to hear from you” Alfred said and Jonah Smiled. He like that spirit. “ What is it? Ask and we will tell you everything. There’s No need hiding anything from you again” One of the uncle’s said. “ It’s About my Assistant” He said and Jonah looked at him. “ What did he do?” He asked but Before Alfred could say anything to him, The Uncle took over. “ Your Assistant is
“ She saw the cops Taking them away and she asked me why. You know Vanessa was an orphan right?” He asked and Jonah Nodded his head. “ Yes” He said. “ Vanessa isn’t an orphan. I investigated for her parents too and found out her Mum’s death is connected to my parents death” He Said pitifully. “ Oh No, Did you tell her?” He asked and Alfred nodded his head. “ Yes, I made a very big mistake”. “ You did what you ought to do. She will find out someday about this even if you didn’t tell her” Jonah told him and he sighed. “ Do you think Vanessa would want to be with me After this?” He asked and Jonah Smiled. “ She will” He patted him on the arm. ----The next day, Vanessa and Derek left the house in search of Vanessa’s Father. Derek Carried Mara on his arm as the walked out of the estate to find a Taxi. As soon as they stepped out of the estate, They found a taxi and Derek gave him the Address. He sat in the front while Vanessa and Mara sat at the back. Derek tried to engage Vanessa in a
You were so jealous of him and his wife that you killed the both of them. How dare you! You should have at least tell me you need the Company instead of killing him. Did you manage to get the company after that? No! His first son took over. You all are a shame to me and this family!” Grandma said in tears. “ Mum please forgive us” The eldest of them begged. “ Keep shut! I don’t want to hear your voices” She turned to the cops who were already waiting for her order. “ Take them away, Do not Release them. They must rot in jail. From now on, their names are erased from my Family, I disown them!” She said In Anger and the cops handcuffed them. “ Grandma please, please Forgive them” Mandy and the rest of the family except Alfred and Jonah pleaded. They were all crying to see their Dads and husbands taking away by the cops. “ Please Grandma” Mandy cried. As the cops were taking them out of the emergency room, Vanessa bumped in to them. She was so confused to see so many people in the ro
“ Okay I heard you, But Please you should have a rethink.” Vanessa turned off the dryer and put it down on the Table. “ Derek, I’m going there to confess to Alfred I love him too” She said for the fifth time that day. “ I’m Not against it but What would happen between the two brothers? That’s what I’m scared of” Derek was so worried. “ I don’t care, all I know is I love Alfred and I’m going to his house to tell him the truth. Jonah’s return is what gives me the confidence” She opened the closet and brought out a set of clothes. “ This will do right?” She asked him smiling. “ Yes Mummy, you’ll look so good in it” Mara said Happily. Mara has been so happy ever since she heard Vanessa telling Derek that she was going to confess her love to Alfred that morning. She was so glad her Mum and Dad would be back together again like before when she was the happiest Girl ever.. “ You Two Should go out of the room, I want to dress” She said pointing to the door. “ Okay Mummy” Mara said and r
