Chapter Fifty-Nine - She's Missing

last update Last Updated: 2024-02-12 20:25:26
I entered into the house to find an empty house. The quietness in the air was too alarming, feeling me with a bad omen. The only sound I could hear audibly, was the ticking of the clock. I directed my eyes towards it, to find out that it was half past noon already! Three solid hours have passed, since I left home.

“Roseville! Where are you? I'm back!” I half yelled, as I couldn't feel the presence of any being in large mansion.

Roseville was nowhere to be found. I rushed upstairs, to find out if perchance, she had slept off in the bedroom. I took swift steps, as I walked towards the room, my heart racing.

“Roseville! Are you here?” I wawled in expectation, I pushed the door open.

To my chagrin, I found an empty room. I was filled with dismay.

‘Where could she be? What could be wrong with her? Could she be playing some hide and seek game?’ I pondered, in my mind.

I took some time to look around the room. It all looked so weird. I could notice some items that were formerly there were mis

It cost me a fortune to get a new one. Although I had a collection of various expensive brands of cars in my garage, I just needed a replacement for the damaged one.

I was determined to fight to the very last of it.I got into my brand new black Rolls-Royce SUV and raced down the streets, with no care in the world. All I cared for was my money and Roseville!Swerving to the brighter path of the city, I drove down the road to Carnaby street, where Roseville claimed she loved with her friend.

    Some years laterAlice's POV“Dad! You shouldn't have borrowed that much money! Do you think we'll be able to pay off our debts in six months?” I griped angrily at Dad.“That's the best thing to do, Alice. Look, we can't sit and watch our Café go down the drain. We'd have to try our very best to bring it back to life,” my dad, Mr Robert Ferdinand, replied.“But at least, you should have told me about it earlier! You should have…” I was heartbroken.“I'm so sorry Alice. It skipped my memory to tell you about it. Believe me Alice, we'll pay off the debts, as soon as we bounce back,” he cooed, smiling convincingly.“How about mum? Does she know about it? Did she agree to it?” I asked.“Of course, Alice! We both agreed on this. It didn't really occur to me, I should have told you about it earlier,” he apologized.“So, how do they intend to have us pay the debts? What are the terms and conditions?” I inquired, staring intently at Dad.“On a monthly basis, we are expected to pay about a tho

    Mum… I had really missed you,” I wrapped my arms around her in a warm embrace, as I welcomed her with cheers.“Oh! You're here, Alice! You didn't tell me you were coming,” she smiled, surprised to see me.“Yeah mum, it was a surprise visit! I didn't need to tell you about it,” I teased.“Oh wow! That's lovely, Alice!” She remarked, beaming with smiles.“So, how've you been, mum?” I asked, concernedly.“Very well, Alice! And you?” she grimaced a smile.“I’m doing pretty well too,” I answered, returning the smile.“Dad told me you went down the neighborhood to see Mrs Winifred, your long time friend,” I disclosed, peering into her face, excitedly.“Yeah, I did. Can I go in now?” She smiled at my insensitivenessI just realized we were still standing by the door.“Oh yeah, that's true,” I shrugged, ushering her in.“I'm so sorry about that, mum. My mind was somewhere else,” I apologized sincerely.“It's fine, Alice. Get your mind back! You're home now,” she teased, giving me a funny stare

    C'mmon, Alice! You just finished having lunch. Where are you heading to?” Mum asked, giving me a battered look.“Mum, I've told you I've got stuff to do at home. It's getting rather late already,” I replied, hardly looking at her face.“But can't you at least stay with us for some while? Is it that urgent?” She furrowed eyebrows in dismay.“But I've stayed enough already! Thanks for the meal. I have an important thing to do at home and I have a meeting to attend afterwards,” I lied, tactlessly.“Meeting? What meeting are you talking about? It's a Saturday for goodness sake! Who holds meetings on Saturdays?” She smirked, moving her gaze slightly towards Dad and then back to me.“Mum… I'm leaving please!” I concluded and continued moving, to mum's chagrin.“Come back here! You hungry ass! Stop being an insolent child! You're way too big for that!” Mum barked at me, sending chills down my spines.“Mum, I'd see you later please,” I still proved adamant.I walked away into the living room.

    "What? Charles... How did you get here? You didn't tell me you were coming!" I ranted, as my eyes popped in disbelief.He frowned angrily, as he caught a sight of what I was doing earlier. He kept mum, all the time. I didn't like the expression on his face."What's wrong with you, Charles? It is me, Charles, or are you seeing a ghost? Please talk to me!" I didn't like the silence."I thought I gave you some rules. Have you gotten them off your mind in a jiffy? What the hell are you doing?" he was so pissed off."I'm so sorry Charles, I just..." My statement was incomplete. "You just did what? Felt horny, huh? And you're yelling my name all over the place?" he shut me a dagger glare."I'm so sorry about that, Charles. I won't do that again. I promise," I pleaded with him.He seemed not to be interested in what I was saying. He breathed heavily, like he was going to tear me into pieces any moment from now."I warned you, Alice!

    It was sad how things turned out for me. It was even more sad that I had to lose at both ends. The long breakup note I had sent was intended to make him feel remorseful, but it didn't. And how was it that he was too willing to discard me like some piece of trash? Was this it?‘You can never know with men!’ It was now that the dictum my mum always said dawned on my face. I even had to add mine; you can never know with women. I'd make that bitch pay for what she did to me once I get out of this!I cried my eyes out all night. The days were lonely and dreary. Every day birthed its new problem for me. I found it a hard put to discuss it with anyone, since the only ones I had trusted let me down. I also couldn't tell it to Mum or Dad, because they had their own problems too and I didn't want to bother them.I grabbed a romance book from the bookshelf and thought of reading it. I gave up the idea, remembering what had transpired between me and Charles some days ago. I decided to listen to

    I turned my face towards the left, struggling hard to hide it away from the cameras. The CEO kept mum, with a resolute face. The reporters were surprised at how none of us budged. They soon grew more anxious and continued with their questioning.“Who is she to you?”“How can you explain this to the media?”“And she looks like a pauper. Why would you stoop so low?”That last hurt me so deeply. I gasped suddenly and gulped down hard. I knew I didn't have much money, but it's so bad how they made me feel worthless like some piece of filth. In a normal circumstance, I'd have tried to defend myself, but right now, the circumstances were beyond normal, so I couldn't do anything about it.I wanted to say something to the man beside me, but the noise from the crowd drowned my tiny voice. It now sounded barely above a whisper.“Can we leave this place immediately? I can't take this anymore!” I took an exasperated sigh.“Oh you wanna leave? Isn't this more of a shame to you?” One of the angry r

The netizens weren't taking it lightly with me.“She's a gold digger!” I read the next comment and whimpered softly.From the news headlines, one could insinuate almost accurately that we came out from a hotel room, or something of sort, which was what the majority of the online critics thought.All I could think of right now, was what my parents and close relatives would have to say, if they found out about the scandal. I bothered more about that, than I did about what Charles and the likes would say.It's been barely twenty-four hours since I and the CEO were found together by the paparazzi, yet the news spread very fast.

    Welcoming my first child brought me more joy than I expected. I beamed with smiles as I cuddle him dearly in my arms and reminisce about my past and how serendipity smiled at me. Bernard was now a happy father. I'm so glad and thankful for bringing my child into this world. He was my joy giver and now my joy was complete. The living room was flooded with family and friends, who came around to send greetings and gifts to the new baby. Becky came along with Davis, smiling at each other all the time. I suspected something going on between the two of them, but confirmed my thoughts when I spotted the diamond engagement ring in her finger. “You're engaged?” My popped, as I stared at the beautiful ring in her middle finger. “Of course, I am,” she returned the smile, flaunting her ringed finger in the air. “Wow! Congratulations to you!” I cheered. “Thank you. You too, Alice! You're now a mother,” she replied heartily. “Where’s your fiancé?” I asked, to be sure I wasn't mistaken

    The early morning sun rose steadily, shedding its beams across to my weary eyes. I gently opened them up and stretched lazily, yawning tiredly while I turned my head to my side. Bernard wasn't there. 'But where could he be?’ My heart missed a beat. My head spinned and I felt heavy blocks pushing their weight against it. I cleared the sleep off my eyes and stared around the room, expecting I would find him somewhere close by, but I didn't. I became worried. “Ben!” I called out his name but there was still no response. I stood up anxiously and headed into the bathroom to check if perhaps he'd be there, but I still didn't find him. My heart pounded hard in my chest. ‘Where could he be now? What the hell is going on?’ The fear of being abandoned seized me. I stepped out of the room hastily, as though chased by a monster and went to the next room, his study, to search for him. The study was empty and dumb. “Bernard!” My throaty voice pierce into thin air. “Where are you?”

    Alice's POV Everything seemed to be happening so fast, but at least so perfectly. I wouldn't have believed it if I was told that I'd get married soon, and to Charles as I previously envisioned, but to my boss. That was the very best day of my life, when we stood there, radiantly breathtaking on the altar and exchanged marital vows. Walking down the aisle with Bernard was the best decision I have ever made and there is no going back. Here I am in our private hotel suite, designed for just the two of us, in the cuddle of his arms, while I reminisce about the activities of yesterday. From the church wedding, to the reception party and then to this very bed we slept, last night, it all replayed in my head. We went wild last night. Our clothes were still sprawled across the floor. I could remember almost vividly how he threw me to the bed and undressed me hungrily, like a prey he was ready to devour. He did so many other things to me, so many that I can't even remember. The only on

    A month later, The church hall was tastefully decorated to suit the event of the day. Numerous guests from different walks of life sprawled over the place in their festive attires, wearing cheerful faces. The orchestra serenaded the congregation with soft melodious tones from their instruments. Cheerful indistinct chatters were heard around the hall, all set for the arrival of the bride. I waited patiently at the altar, in my custom made black suit and matching trousers, together with Davis, my best man, who was dressed similarly. I beamed with smiles, in anticipation of the bride. The clergyman also stood at the altar, ready to execute the ritual of exchange of marital vows between me and the love of my life. As if propelled by some telepathic instigation, Alice showed up as expected, with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. She was putting on a sparkling white satin dress that was tailored perfect to fit her figure and accentuate her curves. Her skin glowed brightly, as she w

    Two weeks later. "This has to be perfect for Alice. Are you sure I'm doing it all right?" I asked Davis, pacing around with the ring box with me. He shook his head in approval. "You're going to do just fine Ben, don't bother about it." Davis assured me and I heaved a sigh. “The truth is, I plan on proposing to Alice tonight, I really hope she says yes. I mean she can't possibly say no? Right? We've been together for a couple of months now and Alice has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I love her to bits, and she loves me too, and I think this is the big next, final step for us.” "Hey! Man up! She's here already." Davis said to me and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Do not mess this up, dude!" Davis warned and I nodded sheepishly, nervousness taking over my system immediately. I watched from the corner, as my dear Alice smiled in happiness, in respect of the surprise party thrown in her honour, she radiated in happiness. I'm enthralled with her beauty. There

  • The Billionaire's Mistress   Chapter Ninety-Five - Dinner Date

    Bernard's POV Would I say I was nervous? Or was it just a regular tingling feeling one has when on a date with a woman one has formerly known? Whatever the case may be, that was exactly how I felt right now. She sat graciously opposite me, beaming with enticing smiles that I couldn't resist. I tried smiling back, but each time I did, I ended up blushing openly. It was a dinner date in my personal suite in the hotel. She was putting on a short red sexy dress, with a lowered neckline, exposing a little of her cleavage and high stiletto heels, that she would easily pass for a lady of the night in. Her red tinted lips and mascara that made her eyelashes more prominent further attested to that. Her skin glowed brightly, even in the dimly lit lounge. We had barely started to enjoy each other's company, when the waiter arrived with the menu. “What would you like us to have for dinner?” I asked her, in anticipation. “Cheese sandwich with some grilled chicken,” she answered. I smiled wi

    “Charles!” I yelled on top of my lungs, exasperated at the activity going on in my very presence.Charles was making out with another woman, who moaned so loudly and irritatingly, feeling the entire room with their sounds. Their ripped off clothes sprawled across the floor, giving more details to what was going on.“So, you could do this to me?” I shook my head slowly in regret.Hot tears welled in my eyes while I stared disdainfully at him. My expression saddened at the bitter taste of a painful betrayal. Charles didn't utter a word. He only ignored me and continued with what he was doing, in my presence.“Can you be so shameless? This is all you could think of, huh?” I flared up angrily, watching as the two lovers made love in my presence.Only then did he pause and glare at me, still clutching onto the woman beneath him.“Look Alice, I'm having a great time right now. I'm tired of you. So tired that you've become an obligation to me. I'd appreciate it if you leave,” His words shat

    Alice's POVResigning from work wasn't as easy as it sounded. I've always threatened my boss about resigning from his company, to get a job elsewhere, but I never meant it. Who could have sorted my unending bills, if I had had meant it in the real sense? Did he think I was willing to leave so soon?As I heard about his release, after serving his one month jail terms, I assumed it was a perfect opportunity to follow my heart, and not my head. The wrapped paper in the light brown sealed envelope was already seated on his desk, awaiting his approval. I also noticed that I wasn't the only one following this course, others did too. I smiled satisfactorily, thinking about how our boss was going to react. I was unaware that Mr Bernard had other plans until I found him in my office, kneeling down to plead with me to forgive him. That moment was one of the very best since I stepped into his company. I suspected something fishy, but I decided not to show it, granted that he was remorseful.“I

    I walked briskly along the hallway and incidentally found Alice coming towards my direction. The devastation on my face transformed suddenly to a smile, as my eyes met hers. She seemed to have just walked out of her office. She stopped in her tracks as soon as she noticed I was coming. “You need to sign a document urgently,” Alice said, looking at me with a straight face. I stared at her intently as though finding it difficult to fathom the meaning of the message. My mind wasn't really interested in what she said, but her. “What document are you talking about?” I asked for clarity, as though I had an idea what she was talking about. “The Simpsons, they asked for your approval on an upcoming project,” she replied, leading the way back to her office. I followed her from behind, secretly admiring her well-rounded ass as she walked. A playful smirk played on my lips. We got into her office and she handed me the papers, still standing close to her desk. I sat down next to her an
