Mama-Tina had contemplated whether to call Patrick first or not before going to report Tina's disappearance to the police station. As she knew that if Patrick truly came to their village to see Tina, Patrick would've come to her shade at the market to see her first before telling her about taking Tina along with him, as Patrick wouldn't just disappear with her daughter."Mama, I'm fine and doing well; I even wanted to call you just now, and you called me first," Patrick laughed over on her phone as he spoke to Mama Tina."Really, my son?" Mama-Tina asked hopefully as her heart beat calmed."Yes, Mama, I did. I didn't have Tina's number with me, as I forgot to collect it from her the last time I visited. So I wanted to ask you, How is Tina doing?" Patrick was questioned as he explained to Mama-Tina on the phone the reason why he wanted to call her first, and Mama-Tina gasped as she screamed out."Ahh! No, this can't be true. You mean Tina is not there with you?" Mama-Tina questioned out
Patrick didn't know what to do or where to start from either, as he knew too well that Anita could never be the one behind Tina's disappearance, even though Anita was hurt and heartbroken about him leaving her. As she has never met with Tina before, she now knows where to kidnap Tina.And moreover, he has never taken Anita to his village before, let alone to Tina's village.Patrick sat up in his office, still contemplating if Anita could possibly be behind Tina's disappearance, when his phone rang out, and it was Anita calling him.Patrick's heart skipped a beat seeing that Anita was the one calling him, and he hurriedly picked up the call before it would end."Hello, dear," Patrick said first."Hi Patrick, how are you doing?" Anita asked him calmly, and Patrick replied,"Mm, am you fine?.""I'm good, though. Not too fine. So you didn't want to call me to congratulate me on my engagement. Are we now enemies?" Anita asked, and Patrick's jaw dropped as if he had forgotten."No, no, dear.
Patrick traveled to Tina's village first, as he didn't want to reach his own village in Ujunwa, because he knew if he got home, his mother would inquire of him about Tina and her grandson, and he didn't want his mother worrying or getting involved, as she was getting old, and to prevent her from suffering any sort of panic attack.Patrick didn't travel alone, as this time he traveled with some of his bodyguards. He knew Tina's parent house in her village, but it wasn't big enough compared to his mansion in his village, but he still had to be there to stay with them.Patrick had planned on renovating Tina's father's house before their marriage, but he kept that aside until Tina and their son were found.Arriving at Ochanda, Patrick drove straight to Tina's father's house. And when he was passing at Tina's mother's shade, at the market square,Patrick saw that Mama-Tina didn't also open her shade, as she wasn't at the market square, and Patrick sighed as he continued with his driving.Wh
Patrick and Mama-Tina finally arrived at the police station, and they sat down, waiting until it was their turn.Mama-Tina checked in with the police inspector in charge of the missing child report, and the officer in charge said to her,"Madam, so far the suspect arrested has claimed they knew nothing about the disappearance of your daughter and her child, and we will have no other option than to grant them bail. Or do you suspect any other person that might be an enemy of your daughter?."Mama-Tina shook her head, not knowing what to say, and she turned to Patrick, looking disappointed too, as they sat across from the police officer in his office.The police officer in charge stared at Patrick, and he could tell the baby he had seen in the photo somehow resembled Patrick sitting across from him.Although it seemed to him like he knew Patrick from somewhere, he couldn't remember, so he asked Patrick,"Are you the husband of the missing lady and her child?."Patrick looked at the offic
Mella has already hit a soft spot in Chris's heart. And he couldn't bear to see her sad.Chris drew Mella closer to his chest and pet her, telling her to stop crying. Mella felt better, but she didn't immediately stop crying as she hugged him too.Mella knew that if Chris never truly cared for her, he wouldn't even dare pull her closer for a hug. And so Chris took her hand and went to sit on the couch, and he said, "Come, let's eat, as you should be happy and celebrating your promotion. And not crying."Mella sat beside Chris, inhaling his cologne. And then Chris opened the plate of pepper soup that she had prepared, and he took a spoonful of the soup and started eating it while feeding her with his spoon too.Mella smiled sweetly at Chris as she stretched out her hand and took her own spoon, opening up the wine bottle on the table. Mella cocked it open and poured it out into the two glass cups kept.And she said to Chris seductively,"I really love you, Chris; I wish to be your girlfr
Patrick returned to City A, as he had emergency work to do, and it was a multimillion-dollar project that he was assigned to do. The lunch date was the same date he had traveled home to see Mama-Tina concerning Tina's disappearance with his son. And when he got to his office, he could barely concentrate, as he kept on wondering if Tina had truly run away with her boyfriend.Patrick remembered how Tina used to tell him that she had a boyfriend, and she even wanted to call her boyfriend when she was in his mansion in his village.She told him that her boyfriend bought her the phone she was using, which he also wanted to seize.Patrick sighed as he wondered why Tina hadn't told him that she didn't want him and wanted her boyfriend rather. "Why's she like this? Why didn't she open up to me about this? Because she isn't in love with me and already has someone else that she loves more than me. Instead, she melted at my touch, yearning for me to touch her and kissing me too, like she truly lo
The following Sunday morning wasn't a good one for Chris, as Tina became very sick. Throwing up and shivering, Chris had to rush to the nearby pharmacy store to get her drug.Chris feared nothing bad would happen to Tina, as that wasn't why he took her away from the village.After taking some of the medicine that Chris had bought for her, Tina's body finally calmed, and she stared at Chris."What's wrong with you, Tina? Is this how fair people react to malaria, as you are scaring me?" Chris questioned her at noon after her face and body brightened, unlike the early morning symptoms.Tina smiled, having heard what Chris said, and she spoke to him, saying,"Maybe. I don't know, but I feel better now. Thanks for the medicines." Tina thanked Chris, smiling sweetly at him, and Chris replied,"It okay, At least you feel better now, so how about our hangout as of today? I was telling you yesterday, but you already slept off. So will you like to see around town today, like visit some places he
After watching movies at the cinema, it was time for them to go back home.Tina had a lot of fun, and she felt really good and was very happy to know that Chris didn't imprison her with her son in his home, as she had thought before. And she became free with Chris again and even hugged him too as they went back into the car, and Chris drove back to his house as it was already getting late.****Patrick hasn't been himself nor able to focus again as he was very angry that the village police officers couldn't do anything better in finding Tina with his son in the village, and it was already two weeks plus. And yet no call, no text message, or good feedback from her mother. And he frowned, wondering what could've possibly happened to Tina.Patrick's personal office assistant came into his office to see him. As Patrick had told him about his plight before, since the day Patrick returned from village, he had resumed work in his office for the multimillion-dollar project that he had finished
Mella rushed and drove back to the police station, as Chris was already released, and asked to sign the undertaking papers, saying that he would never do anything to Tina or Patrick again, and he sighed the undertaking note.After Chris was through signing and was giving his clothes and shoes to wear, as the police officers had seized his clothes on the day he was arrested, he just returned back from work and hadn't even gone inside to change his office clothes because he was speaking to Tina before he was arrested.Chris collected his clothes and wore them, then he set to leave for home, as he wondered who granted him bail, as he was earlier told in the morning that he was going to court the new week.Chris brother Evan was called by the police officer who informed him about Chris being released from their station, and his brother prepared to go to the police station with Chris Car to welcome Chris, as he knew how to drive, so he decided to use Chris car to pickup Chris and bring him
Finally, it was Mella's turn to see Patrick, as Mella had waited for almost four hours before it got to her turn, as it was already noon.Mella was led to Patrick's office by an assistant who came out to escort her. And the assistance could tell Mella was a big man's daughter from her prestigious look, as Mella loved putting on suits that exposed her full cleavages, and she liked attracting men's attention to herself.So Mella could tell the assistance that came to escort her was admiring her beautiful look and bossom, as her suit perfectly hugged tightly to her body and brought out her sexy shape."Welcome, ma'am. You may go in now to Patrick in his office," Dave said to Mella."You don't need to knock again; just step Dave said, and Mella replied,"Ooh! Thanks."Mella winked at Dave. As it was part of her lifestyle to wink at people as a form of appreciating them, she gently opened the door, pushing it open, and she walked in.Patrick sat in his executive office seat and was facing t
Mella was happy to know that Chris still liked her, as she had thought that probably if she opened up her true feelings to Chris, he would reject her. And she thanked Evan for telling her the whole story and drove back home.Mella planned on visiting Patrick in his office during working days, as she didn't know his house except for his company, and she has heard a lot about Patrick and seen him on trending hot male celebrities in City A who have money and aren't yet married.Mella sighed as she wondered if Patrick would forgive Chris on her behalf and grant him bail too, or better yet, end the case.Mella decided to visit her family house first to rest over the weekend, so she wouldn't worry much about Chris being in the police cell.Her family lived in the heart of City A too, as her father was a billionaire, so she decided to pay her father a surprise visit, as she hadn't seen him to thank him properly for assigning her as the new CEO.Arriving at her father's mansion, Mella went to
Evan calmed down and said, "Fine, I will explain the situation better to you, for you to understand what I meant." Then he paused and looked at Mella's face, and he continued,"My brother is in love with the same lady, Mr. Patrick, whom his friend is also in love with. My brother and her have been in a relationship for up to a year now, and I am only just getting to realize from the police station that the said lady already has a child for Mr. Patrick before she met my brother, and Chris knew about this and still wants her even though she has a child for Patrick.""What!" Mella exclaimed as she stared at Evan in disbelief."Honestly, the situation at hand now is that my brother kidnapped her from the village and brought her here to live with him in the city, even with her son, and that was why Patrick arrested him. Because the said lady and his son had been declared missing by the lady's parents in the village," Evan said."Hmph..." Mella sighed with a deep frown settled on her face."
Patrick helped Tina strip her of her clothes, leaving only her pants and bra. As the dim lights were still brightly on in his room, he could clearly see her body.Tina didn't seem to have lost too much weight, but she already forgot that her stomach had grown out a little over the past few weeks of staying at Chris house, as her protruding stomach was now visibly showing that she was pregnant.Tina was shy, as was standing to Patrick's view, and she didn't want to turn around for Patrick to see her stomach or to face him either.She already brought her medicine with her, and the pregnancy test result was in it, but she didn't even remember all that when she was in Patrick's car, except now that she was with Patrick in his bedroom.Patrick pulled Tina closer to himself as he had already pulled off his top and was now slightly bare with Tina, with his bare chest facing her.He pulled off his trousers and was left in only his shorts, as he wanted to help Tina take her bath. Then he unhook
Mama-Tina continued speaking to Tina on the phone, and she said, "It's okay, my daughter. I'm just happy that you are found. I hope nothing happened to you and Godsent?" Mama-Tina sounded a bit worried, and Tina replied,"No, mama, we are fine. We will soon come home to see you and Papa. How're Papa, Richmond, and Jude doing?.""They are all fine, Tina, and I am also happy to hear that you were found. Take good care of yourself, and please give the phone back to my in-law."Tina sighed as she heard her mother call Patrick her in-law, while she gave Patrick back his phone and continued feeding her son, as she didn't have the appetite or strength to eat much before, not after all the things that Chris had said to her, but now she felt better and could feed her son.Tina wanted to leave Chris house immediately, so she went in and packed only her things that she used to bring with her the first time Chris brought her from the village, leaving all the things behind that Chris had bought for
"Freeze! don't move!" The police officers ordered Chris to stand up. And Chris was so shocked as he stared at the police officers, wondering what was going on in his home."We're from City A, Police Command, and you are Mr. Chris Douglass. You are under arrest for the kidnapping of one Miss Tina Praise and her son, Godsent, so you have the legal right to remain silent as anything you say shall be used against you in the court of law." The police officer said all in one go to Chris, and Chris stared at him in shock. As he was speechless, he wondered who could've found out that he was the one responsible for Tina's disappearance. Chris thought the last time he had visited Patrick, he never told Patrick anything to make Patrick suspicious of him, and he was still wondering who fished him out as the villain behind the mask and got him arrested.Just then, Patrick walked in just as the police officer handcuffed Chris and wanted to drag Chris out. Patrick stared at Chris with dagger eyes,
Tina stared at Chris in shock. She couldn't believe her ears and thought she was so stupid to think Chris wouldn't know who Patrick was.She never thought of this at first, as she knew Chris was from the same village as Patrick, and Patrick was also well known even in the city. Only by searching his name on the internet did she see him, so how would Chris not know so much about Patrick too?Tina stared downward, as she couldn't meet Chris again. So Chris was even friends with Patrick and close to Patrick; why didn't he tell her all these years?.Chris knew Patrick well and knew everything about her, and as he watched Patrick tell him how he made love to her and how she was craving his touch, Tina felt disgusted as to how some men could boldly tell their friends about their sexual lives.She couldn't even tell her best friend or her mother, as she couldn't discuss something as private as that with anyone."So was that why you brought me here to the city, out of jealousy?" Tina suddenly
Mama-Tina couldn't believe her ears when Patrick told her that he knew Chris well, as Chris was his boss's friend.Mama-Tina was speechless even more when Patrick also said that Chris even visited him last week before he traveled home, and she became worried."What if he is not the one who took Tina away?" Mama-Tina asked Patrick, getting more worried. As she assumed, if truly Chris came to visit Patrick and Patrick told him that his girlfriend and child were missing, then that means Chris wasn't the one behind Tina and Godsent's disappearance.Patrick stared at Mama Tina, and he gave her back her phone and said,"Mama, if Chris is not the one behind Tina and Godsent's disappearance, then we will find out. Don't call his number, as I already left my village and I cannot drive back there to go check in his family house, to know if he took Tina there, but I will go to check his house in the city, even if it means me arresting him. As he can't take Tina away and take my son away too, it c
