She didn’t know where to start from, Kira wasn’t specific on where to check. She held the phone in her hands, confused on what to do. If only Ella was with her. Strangely, a knock was heard on the door and she wondered who was knocking at that time of the night. It was late for goodness sake.“Who is it?” She inquired loudly.“It’s Wendy.” A familiar voice replied. Her brows furrowed, what did Wendy want at that time?“Come in.” The door opened and Wendy walked in dressed in her night wear.“What do you want?” Rebecca asked calmly. Wendy didn’t reply, her gaze was focused on something, and when she trailed the gaze, it landed on Eric’s phone in her hand.“What?” She asked again, a bit louder this time.“I have something important to tell Mr Eric.” Wendy spoke up.“He’s asleep as you can see. You should wait till tomorrow.” Rebecca replied. Even though she was curious about what the thing could be, she didn’t want anything to ruin her plan.“It really can’t wait, trust me

The last sentence sent shivers down her spine, but after rethinking the whole thing, she bursted into laughter, and strangely, Wendy joined her in laughing.“It’s so funny how you guys think I’m so naive to believe this tale.” She said, after laughing.“Yeah, it is.” Wendy smiled. Rebecca’s brows creased. “If all this is true, which isn’t, why are you telling me about it? Do you think I’ll want to stay with Eric after hearing all these?” She questioned. If it was indeed true, then she thought it was meant to be kept a secret. Why were they telling her?“Because there’s no use lying. After what happened last night, we have no reason to continue the act cause you discovered I have a connection with Eric.” Wendy replied.“I still don’t believe you.” Rebecca said.“If I was in your shoes, I wouldn’t either. Imagine waking up one morning and being told your loving dad who looked like he couldn’t kill a fly was a mafia boss, how unbelievable.” Wendy stated, chuckling. Silence crept i

As she cried, she saw Eric chuckling, he wasn’t even moved by her tears and it hurt her deeply. It felt like her heart was on fire, she couldn’t breath properly. She used to think he was a nice person, she thought he loved her, she thought he cared. Tears washed the blood from her nose to her lips and when she tasted something salty, she wiped her face with the back of her palm. Her fear increased when Eric got closer and took off his shirt. She looked at Wendy who stood unshaken, not bothering to at least give them privacy. Her gaze moved from Wendy to Eric and she cast him a pleading stare as soon as her eyes came in contact with his.“Please don’t.” Her teary voice muttered. Eric scoffed as he took off his belt. “We’ve done this several times, why are you acting like a virgin who is afraid to have her first sex?” He said, accompanied with an eye roll.“Maybe because back then I look at you with eyes filled with love, but now all I see…” She paused, her gaze getting darke

For a moment, she was dumbstruck, she kept staring at the phone till it stopped ringing, and immediately, it started ringing again.“She’s with her phone?” It was surprising. She picked the call and didn’t speak first, she wanted to confirm who was on the line.“Hello?” A female voice was heard, but she could swear it wasn’t Rebecca’s voice.“Hello.” She muttered back. “Who’s this?” She asked afterwards, a way of letting the caller know she knew it wasn’t Rebecca.“This is Rebecca’s friend… She left home since last night and she’s yet to return… I checked her phone and found lots of missed calls from you, so I was wondering if you know where she is. I’m worried about her, her husband is also worried.” The voice spoke up. Kira scoffed quietly, ‘What a dumb trick’ “No, I…” She paused when she thought of something. If Rebecca’s phone was with someone else, that means the person might have gone through her chats with her and Axel, except Rebecca was smart enough to clear the ch

Wendy kept pacing to and fro in the big bedroom. She had gone through Rebecca’s phone and she couldn’t find anything that could be of help. She read all the texts messages there and there was nothing special, just texts from the hospital asking why she had been absent. She had called the number that called Rebecca last and it still didn’t lead to anything, she was frustrated.“Fuck it! Eric is going to kill me.” She muttered, dipping her hand in hair. Earlier, she had returned with the lasagna specially made for Rebecca, only to meet the room empty. She saw the shattered window and the makeshift rope, and it was then realization dawned on her. She had tried running outside, but there was no sight of Rebecca. She was doomed. Eric was yet to know about it, he was still downstairs busy with what he was doing. If Eric didn’t kill her after finding out, then she was sure his dad would do. He was the mastermind behind the plan, and he was desperate for the properties, more t
