“ That’s what we were discussing before you came in” Bella said. “ Mandy will never let us be in peace again unless she’s not around. I don’t know why they’re all after Alfred” He shook his head vigorously. “ I know right? Mandy is so stubborn and…” The Assistant interrupted her. “ Oh I almost forget, Vanessa is in the kitchen and said I should call you to come help her” He said and Mary stood up. “ I’ll go” She left the room. “ What’s wrong with Mary? She’s been acting weird these days especially if she sees me with you” Bella said worriedly. The Assistant smiled, he stood up too and looked at Bella. “ I’ll take care of it” He left the room. Bella was surprised , she followed him out of the room but when she got out he was nowhere to be found. Bella was so lost in thought as she walked out of their quarters, she entered the sitting room and bumped in to Mandy’s Maid. Mona was holding a plate of Chips and it fell to the floor and broke in to pieces. Bella came back to her sense

“ Just forget about him and enjoy yourself in the Billionaire’s home” Derek Advised. “ Yea that’s what I’ll do but there’s another problem. Not even one” She sat upright on the bed to gist him. “ A girl came days ago claiming she’s his girlfriend, I heard she was his girlfriend until his Grandma separated them because she’s a model” Vanessa said and Derek Chuckled. “ what does her career have to do with her Love?” He asked but Vanessa didn’t have an answer to that. “ I don’t know either” She said. “ then what about the second problem?” He asked her. “ I think this is the worst of it all. Another girl who calls herself his girlfriend moved in to the house today” She said and he gasped. “ And you didn’t do anything about it?” He asked. “ no, she’s his cousin. We’ve been in problems since she moved in hours ago. I’m tired of living here, Derek. I just want to return back to your house” Vanessa said sadly. “ Hey don’t even think about coming here because there’s no room for you. Sta

“ Mandy” He said u der his breath. Mandy didn’t come out of her room when everyone was looking for Mara. She heard their voices but she was so tired from staying out late the previous night. “ Where is Mara” Alfred asked in anger immediately he barged in to her room. “ Why are you asking me that question?” She asked him sitting upright. “ Where did you take her?” He yelled at her and Mandy Chuckled. “ Hey, stop yelling at me. I don’t know what you are talking about” She rolled her eyes. “ And you should have knocked on my door and not barged in like that. I don’t like it” Alfred was getting more and more Angrier, he moved closer to the bed and grabbed her ear. “ Tell me where my daughter is or I’ll get you arrested” He threatened her. “ Did Vanessa told you to come threatened me? I don’t know where Mara is” She said in pains. “ Do not accuse Vanessa of what she doesn’t know, tell me where Mara is and I’ll pretend this never happened” He said calmly. “ or what? What would you do

“ Vanessa, calm down. Do not cry again, We’ll surely get Mara back from her. All we have to do is to keep an eye on her” Derek said and Vanessa nodded her head. “ I agree with you, I don’t even trust her” She sighed. “ Let’s go” Vanessa said and they left the room. They went back to the sitting room and Derek sat on the sofa. “ Do you need anything?” She asked him. “ Just water please” He said and Vanessa Chuckled. “ Okay” She entered the kitchen, Bella and Mary were there. They watched Vanessa as she brought out a bottle of water from the fridge, she took one glass cup from the rack and left the kitchen. “ Oh poor thing, I Really feel for her” Bella said sadly. “ Yes I feel for her too, whoever did this to her will never find peace” Mary said sadly too. “ I hope so too. But why would someone Kidnap a little girl? Doesn’t he or she have a heart? Mara doesn’t know anything” Bella sighed. “ But aren’t you suspecting Mandy?” Mary asked her and she shushed her. “ Keep your voice dow

“ I know Mara will return, they’ll bring her back” She said and he nodded his head. “ Yes I know that too. Do you want to eat your food here while you wait for her?” He asked and she nodded her head. Derek went inside the room , he carried the plate of Noodles and a juice and came out of the house. “ Here, make sure you eat everything” She took it from him and started eating. “ I’ve missed your food a lot” Vanessa Said and he smiled. “ Really, I know. I’m the best chef ever” They both laughed. “ It’s good seeing you laugh again” Derek said. They stayed outside for hours but no sign of Mara, It was already late in the night and everywhere was so Cold. “ Vanessa, let’s Go inside” Derek said standing up. “ But what if She comes back after we went Inside?” She asked him and he smiled. “ I don’t think they’ll bring her back Today, She will come back to you tomorrow” He persuaded her but Vanessa wouldn’t listen. He kept on and on and at last, she followed him inside the house. ----Next
