CHAPTER 74: HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
It had been three months since Ella had been accused of orchestrating the attack on Victoria’s house. Ella had since disappeared without a trace and several people were looking for her.

She had agreed with the authorities that clashing with individuals within diplomatic circles was not feasible. The agreement reached had been to leave Victoria out of the report that mentioned Ella’s release, on condition that Ella’s whereabouts were observed at all times.
On the morning when Ella left Eddie’s house, several people were supposed to be keeping watch. Victoria had posted several men at all the exits and she was sure that Ella would not leave undetected. However, Ella had observed these strangers the night before and made note of their faces. He

“You’ve been quiet for too long,” Tracy said to Tokodi. They were still seated on the floor and Tracy had confessed everything to Tokodi, but excluded the part where she once thought of ending Tanasha’s life.

She explained her situation and how she had accepted Blake’s extra work in exchange for the large amounts of money she needed to maintain her sister’s lifestyle plus the blackmailer's constant demands.“How much have you paid your blackmailer so far?” Tokodi asked.“A little over two million. Maybe more. He would trick Tanasha many times when she was drunk so she paid him double in some months.”“What makes you think giving him more money will satisfy him?

She had showered and changed into fresh clothes and she was explaining what events had led her to this point.“It's a tragic comedy. I’m just glad I carried all my work gear today. I would be budgeting for new tools now,” she said. Ella was watching Eddie lay out the array of food that they were to have for supper. They had both brought over take away .

“What is going on? Why does it sound like there are dozens of children here?” Blake asked as he walked into the house after work. Both children were crying while two adults were shouting. No one seemed to hear Blake so he walked up the stairs towards the nursery. The noise got louder as he came closer and closer. He opened the door while the cries of Clara intensified.“Why are the children crying while the two of you are bickering like market women?” Blake asked. He picked up Clara whom Jason was rocking gently. She was wrapped in a towel while Jason was only wearing a pair of shorts. Jason was also crying and he hugged Blake’s leg while sniffling silently. Clara had started calming down and her breathing was slowing down steadily. She held onto Blakes shirt tight and lay on his chest.“Someone had better say som

The end of Ella’s contract was drawing closer and closer. Her team was exceedingly efficient and it looked like they would be able to finish everything before schedule. Ella was feeling pensive about this because she was getting accustomed to Eddie’s company every evening. He would come over after work and they would have dinner together. Their conversations were long and intense and their friendship had blossomed further. Ella would miss these social interactions because they were rare. Her team only interacted socially during lunch breaks and the one time celebration once each contract was over. The other girls in the team sometimes went shopping together and Ella joined them once in a while. Ella always felt uncomfortable as the girls were younger than her and they displayed some youthful exuberance. Ella was also not interested in the nights out in the club. That was why Eddie’s wholesome company was precious to Eddie.

He couldn’t find anything there so he came to the living room. Eddie glanced at Bryer as he looked for the documents on the dining table..“I put some files in that drawer,” Bryer said to Eddie.
