I've called her a couple of times and she still wasn't answering. Well, I'm home now.  The house seemed like there was no one around when I got into the living room drenched from the rain. "Stella?!" I called scanning the whole place with my eyes... I went upstairs and rushed into our bedroom. She's not here neither. Where is she? I called her a few more times.. Why is she not picking up? • • • • • • STELLA • • • • • •After helping Kelvin with

Jeremy is hurting me for peace sake!I was in my room when I heard the sound of a car drive in. It must be Jeffrey!I went out to the hallway and hid close to the stairs railings watching Jeremy open the door for him."What the f***k are you doing here?" He asked and returned to sit on the couch."I came to say hi to Stella. I can't stop thinking about her" Jeffery replied and licked his lips.What? What's he doing? He's adding more fuel to the fire!Jeremy didn't say anything as he dropped his legs on the table before taking his laptop and keeping it on his th

It's creepy that we are so close and it's also creepy that we are starting to get along though I feel like killing him sometimes.He was awake though, staring at me as I yawned."What time is it, huh?" I asked looking around the room."6pm" he replied and I stretched myself the furthest it could go."I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry?" I asked and he smirked."Yeah...I'm famished" He paused and took his eyes to my legs.I scoffed rolling my eyes. "You must be delirious to think that I would let you in again. I thought you said I wasn't good at all for you so why are you taking your eyes down there" I groused and locked my hands together."Gosh! You're a pain in the as.s. I knew you were gonna get cocky once I touched you. Don't flatter yourself. I was just g

"You were the one wasting time infront of the mirror"."Me? When did I ever do that?" He asked enthusiastically and I raised my hand to slap his face and he chuckled."Fine, I admit it. I just wanted to look good for work. It's not a crime, is it?" He chimed and I scoffed."You're so unpredictable!" I blurted.He sped up and the car went faster. We got to the building and he parked by the parking lot.We alight from the car and walked into the building. I was carrying Jeremy's briefcase. The whole lobby became dead quiet the moment we stepped in.The stares were so much people as murmured amongst themselves.As we walked to the

• • • • • JEREMY • • • • •I stood by the balcony holding onto the railings. I stared into space almost breaking down.Two weeks gone and Stella's still missing. I really don't want to believe that I'll never see her again.She's my wife. I am nobody without her. It's like there's this void in my soul and she's the only one that could fill it up.Who could do this??I've done everything I could. The waiter never saw the person who hired her but I had her locked up though.The CCTV camera at the resturant didn't get the face of the nan cause he wore a mask. No trace at all!I wonder who's got her and what they're doing to her right now?"Sir...sir" I heard a faint voice behind me and I turned to see Ava, the maid mom hired to cook for me. She's a super shy lady and is always looking down."What?"
