The night felt very long, and morning showed up several hours laterAlex stood in front the doctor, who was chained in his seat and said “I’m coming to talk to you as a man. Tell me the exact truth and nothing else”His voice sounded very domineering, causing the doctor to lower his eyes in fearHe knew very well his life was in great danger. Yet he wasn’t ready to talkLast night the police did all they could, but he still refused to reveal the actual truth behind Lucy’s missing bodyAlex had a very terrible night. Not just that, he even received a call from his assistant this morning that the media had already gotten hold of the newsThe news of his wife’s missing body was already circulating everywhere in the city. And now people are wondering whether he’s got anything to do with itFrom the look of things, the doctor seems to be the only source of route to Lucy’s missing body. Hence without waiting for the sky to be clear, Alex set out and went to interrogate the doctor himselfEv
“Good job Dr. Carson. You’ve done everything I asked you so perfectly. Now Alex believes I’m innocent. So, I’m going to transfer five hundred thousand into your account. You can choose to leave the county for the next few weeks with your family to ensure their safety”“Alright.”Vanessa smiled and blew out a sigh of satisfaction after the call ended. She has put so much effort in getting all these done. Even still, the work still looks incompleteShe knew things were going to get more complicated for her if Alex continues doubting and suspecting her. Hence, she needed to direct his mind elsewhereNow Alex believes Aaron is the cause of everything and not her. And from the way things are going, she believes its not going to be easy for Aaron to convince Alex he’s innocentVanessa always had this doubt that Aaron was having some kind of lustful feelings towards Lucy. It all started from the day they went to the Whites mansion for the weddingHe couldn’t take his eyes off her. And even a
“You?…” Lucy questioned with surprise “Yes, me. I know you’re surprised but, don’t worry. You’re more safe with me”“Safe? Collins do you hear yourself when talking? You have kidnapped me!” Lucy yelled angrily She had it at the back of her mind that only one person could be behind this kidnap issue of hers. And that’s VanessaBut now it has turned out to be someone else. Someone she had least expect to be the master behind thisAfter the encounter they had at Lora’s wedding few weeks ago, they have never set eyes on each other againAnd now he has suddenly showed up to kidnap her. How on earth did he even manage to do this?“Lucy… Lucy… Lucy! When at all are you going to grow up? So, you think I have any interest in kidnapping you? Haha…. “ Collins moved around Lucy in circles and laughed He knelt in front of her gently and explained “ you’re mine Lucy. I don’t need to kidnap you before having you to myself. Besides, that Green family, they don’t even love you. Neither do they cher
“….” Thunder stroke followed by a very heavy rainfall. The stormy wind blew against Aaron’s body as he stood at the balcony lost in thoughts Whatever happened in the morning between him and Alex still lingered in his mind. And he thought very seriously about what exactly the doctor could have possibly told him to make him act that wayHe tried reaching the doctor earlier but he was told he didn’t show up at the hospital today. Neither is he in his houseThe disappearance of Lucy’s body has affected all of them. And the fact he’s now being blamed for it is just tearing him apart Aaron has always blamed himself for not taking actions early. He has been in love with Lucy for the past few years even before the wedding showed upThe first time he saw Lucy, it was at a restaurant. He had gone there to meet someone for a business meeting where Lucy happened to be the waitressAaron couldn’t deny the fact that Lucy is indeed very beautiful. And quite respectful alsoShe had on her face a ve
“Alex! Alex stop!…” Vanessa chased Alex down the hall and held tightly onto his hand to stop him from going outIt was still heavily raining. But Alex seemed to care less about itHe has been fooled by the doctor. And now he’s got to make things right before they get out of handsThe last time Collins told him he will take Lucy away from himAnd now because he didn’t take his words so seriously, this has happenedWhat at all could be happening between the two of them right now? Could it be possibly Collins is kissing Lucy at the moment? Or they’re having fun somewhere far away?What if they’re even making out?….“Damn it! Damn all of you!” Alex roared angrily at the thought of all thisLucy and Collins used to be lovers. He doesn’t know so much about their love story but the thought of it just hunts him like something The last time he saw them kissing each other. Which means it’s possible they’re still in love with each other ‘No!’ Alex worried. He ran his hand through his hair desp
Staring down at the screen of the phone, Collins sighed out helplessly and turned to look at Lucy who was lying quietly on the mattress Her mind seemed to be lost somewhere, and so she hadn’t notice Collins’ presence yetSo many things swept through her mind. And in the cause of this, a plan suddenly popped up in her mindEven though she wasn’t so sure about it, Lucy still felt it would be best to try it. Who knows? Maybe it might work“Good morning…” Collins cleared his throat slightly to wake Lucy upHearing Collins’ voice, Lucy slowly sat up on the mattress and smiled slyly. She carried herself up and stepped closer to him with a calm face“good morning. Actually I’ve been waiting for you to… apologize for how I behaved towards you last night. I thought Alex would come looking for me, but …”“….” Collins’ brows arched with surprise. What suddenly changed? Why is Lucy now being polite to him?“I know you must be wondering what changed over night. But don’t worry. I don’t mean any ha
“Hello, I just received a call from Lucy. She claims to have been kidnapped by her ex boyfriend and that he’s taking her out of the country. Please send your men to the airport right away. I’ll meet them in the next few minutes” Vanessa explained in a breath and hanged up the callThe feeling of victory rushed through her bloodstream. And her face lit up with so much joyCollins has made her work quiet easy somehow. And now all she needs to do is to get to the airport as soon as possible to stop him from sending Lucy awayThere’s no way Alex is going to find out about this ever. Because he will continue to think Lucy is with her ex boyfriend and they’re both nowhere to be foundVanessa smiled devishly to herself at the thought of this and turned to head upstairs for her car keys. But just as she took a step, Alex showed up from nowhere looking so anxious“Alex..““I know. Let’s go together” Alex cut Vanessa short and quickly rushed outsideWhat does he know?Vanessa followed Alex outs
“Hey Jeff, pick me up at the airport right now. I’m waiting for you by the roadside” Collins spoke anxiously on the phone as he headed to the roadside “The Greens haven’t found you have they?” Jeffery asked worriedly from the other side of the phone“Not yet. But if you delay so much they might find me. And you know what’ll happen if that happens. So please hurry” Collins hanged up the call and walked in the fastest pace everAfter contemplating on what to do earlier, he finally came to a decision of saving himself over his love for Lucy He should have known everything was a trick. But now here he is, running for his lifeThe love he has for Lucy blinded him. He trusted her completely, thinking they were about leaving the country for a new beginning But who was he kidding?However Lucy was able to contact Alex still remained a mystery to Collins. He thought very seriously about it, but nothing seemed to making sense to himLucy has chosen Alex over him. But that doesn’t mean he’s g
