“ Mummy, why did we run?” Mara asked her. “ Because… Because he came” She said and Mara Chuckled. “ We shouldn’t have ran away, we should have stayed here” She folded her arms. “ Why? He will force us to go with him if he sees us here” Vanessa said worriedly. “ But we won’t go even if he force us. We don’t want to live in his house again and we don’t want to see him” Vanessa felt sorry for Mara, Mara loved her Daddy so much but she was acting brave because of her. “ I’m Sorry Mara, I know you love your Daddy and you want to live with him” She said and Mara smiled. “ It’s Okay Mummy, I just want you to be happy and besides, I don’t want to be kidnaped again. It was terrifying” She said and Vanessa smiled. “ I’ll never let that happen again, Come here” She stretched her arms and Mara Hugged her. “ I love you so much Mummy and I want you to be happy” Mara said and Vanessa Smiled. “ I know baby and I love you too” ---“ I wonder where the Boss slept last night” The Assistant said
“ I don’t think it’s only because of her” Mandy Bit her lower lip. “ What do you mean?” she asked Mandy. “ I think he left the house to look for Vanessa and her daughter” Mandy covered her mouth but it was too late, she didn’t want Grandma to find out Alfred had a child or her plan will be spoiled. “ A child? Whose child? The lady have a child?” She asked but Mandy didn’t answer again. Grandma turned to Bella and Mary who were standing closer to the kitchen and gestured to them to move closer. “ That lady have a child?” She asked and Bella nodded her head. “ Who’s the father of the child?” She asked but Mandy signaled to them not to say a word about that. “ I’m talking to you!” She yelled at them and they fell on their Knees. She looked at the Assistant who was Praying she shouldn’t ask him. “ Answer me, you are his Assistant and must know everything!” She yelled at him. “ It’s his child” The Assistant Said in fears. “ Who?” Grandma asked just to be sure of who he was referring
“ I’m Sorry for the Boss, I just wish she could give him a chance to do whatever he likes. She’s controlling his life and he’s no more a kid” Bella sighed. “ I hope she doesn’t find Vanessa” “ Talking about Vanessa, Have they found Mara?” Bella asked. “ Who knows, maybe Vanessa have found her” The Assistant said and Mary sighed. “ I hope so” She said sadly. “ Poor thing but now that Vanessa isn’t in the house again, Do you think the person that took her would return her back to Vanessa?” She asked them and Mary Chuckled. “ What do you mean, do you know who took Mara?” She asked. “ I’m suspecting two people. It’s either Mandy or his ex girlfriend Kiara. You guys saw the way Kiara behaved when she saw Vanessa here” She said. The Assistant and Mary exchanged glances, they looked at Bella who was so sure of what she said. “ But I heard Kiara has left the town and she promised never to come back to his life again” The Assistant said. “ And you believe her? She might be out of town
“ Alfred” She called and he opened his eyes. “ What do you want?” He asked her. “ I.. I’m Sorry” She apologized. Alfred closed his eyes again “ Just leave, I don’t want any disturbance” He said but Mandy wouldn’t leave. “ Are you crying?” she asked him when he Sniffed. “ Alfred, you are crying. Is it because you missed Vanessa or Because you can’t find Mara?” She asked him. He Cleaned his face and sat upright. “ Mandy, please Release Mara” He pleaded. “ I swear Mara isn’t with me, I don’t know who took her” Mandy said and Alfred Sighed. “ Just leave my room” He lay down again and closed his eyes. “ I’m Sorry Alfred, I didn’t mean to put you through this. I told Grandma because you and Vanessa wouldn’t stop Accusing me” She Said sadly. “ Just go if you don’t have anything else to say” Mandy stood up from the bed and left the room looking so sad. She blamed herself for what Alfred was going through and wished she could do something to make him Happy. ---They were in the kitche
“ Do you know Alfred has a child?” Grandma Couldn’t still believe what she heard from Alfred’s house, she called the eldest Uncle who was her second Son after Alfred Father. Grandma was so Angry and she decided to ask him if he knew anything about it. He was so scared when she called him on the phone to come meet him, He knew he was in for it if it’s Anything related to Alfred. “ Answer my question” Grandma said and he looked at her, his hands were shaking and so he hid them under the table as he sat on the floor. “ Mum I…I…” He Stammered.

“ Where have you been?” Mary who was standing on the corridor asked immediately he came out from the Car. “ The Boss sent me” He lied. Mary Scoffed, She looked at him from the head to toe and Chuckled. “ The Boss sent you?” She asked with her arms folded. “ Yes” He lied again. “ Okay, The Boss Have been looking for you for hours now. How would you explain that?” She asked him. “ Oh My God, he asked of me? I better hurry to him now” She grabbed his wrist as he walked past her. “ Are you cheating on me?” She asked him and he Chuckled softly. “ Cheating on you, with who? Of course not. You are the only girl that I love” He fling his hand from hers and hurried inside the house. Alfred was coming down the stairs when the Assistant Entered the sitting room. He hurried to Alfred and bowed his head a little with his hands in front of him. “ Where did you go?” Alfred asked sitting down on the sofa. “ I.. I” He interrupted him. “ Do you hear anything from Vanessa? Do you know where I c
“ Hey! You promised!” She banged the Door really hard. “ I shouldn’t have tell you anything!” She turned around and saw the Assistant trying to hold back his laughter and she went downstairs. “ You fool, Do you think I don’t know what you guys did?” She asked him Angrily. “ I did nothing” He said “ Really? Then I’ll expose you and Mary. Do you think my Maid won’t tell me anything? She saw you two taking Mara out of the house. An innocent man is in the Prison because of you, Be careful with Me or you’ll find yourself in the Court” She warned him and went to her room. “ Oh My God! She saw us?

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.
