Chapter 93: Chapter 93
"Why him!."
I cry.
"What's the issue?."
Andrew is worried
I explain what my mum told me.
"Don't bother and trust your mother!."
He consoles me.
But it seems not to be enough to calm me down.
He doesn't know what else to say.
He gently grabs me into his arms.
"If we don't have any information about him by tomorrow evening, I will call for our family detective. He is very efficient!."
He explains, hoping to calm me down.
"Okay!."
I nod, with my head on his chest.
"Now, Let's get to bed!."
He fixes me on the bed.
And he cuddles me till I fall asleep.
.
.
While my parents are having a little fight.
"I have something to tell you."
my mum announces to my father with her trembling voice
My dad is all frightened and worrier at her weird reaction.
"Voice it out!."
He yells out of fear
"I asked for Mr. Jackson's service when Grace got missen!. When we later found Grace, he asked me to pay him back, but I refused!."
My mum tremble
My father bitterly scowls at her.
"Why, why, I warned you!. OMG, and what is that, that he asked?."
He stands weak.
"To make you sign fraudulent documents!."
She mumbles in a low tone.
My dad, scoff.
"We can't confirm that he has our son!."
he gets up from his and strolls around in frustration.
"I don't know what to do!."
He mumbles
My mum, can't stop cursing herself. And dad is very mad at her.
When he notices her pathetic glance, he strides and seats next to her. Clenching her hands so right.
"What can we do now. Or where can we start from?.”
My dad wanders in dismay.
While mum gets relief pleased with his reaction.
They spent nearly the whole night awake thinking about what to do.
.
.
The next day,
"Keep me informed about your brother's case!."
Andrew kisses my forehead.
"Aren't you taking breakfast!."
I wonder.
I'm still in bed. Very lazy to get up.
"No, am fine, just catch some rest!."
He leaves for work very early.
.
.
A few hours later,
I'm still in bed!.
I narrowly get some noise from the big gate outside.
"Andrew left since!. Who can it be?."
I wonder aloud.
I remember my mum asked me to be very vigilant and my heart starts racing.
When I get up to check the from the window, I see nothing. The gate is locked. The gateman is in his room which is by the gate.
I get back to bed.
Then I heed the noise in the main door this time.
This scares me.
With my quivering legs, I gently step down. Gradually stepping my feet on the ground. I peek by the side. With my heart inside my stomach and my body shuddering.
Though of Jordan race in my mind.
"I don't want to be kidnapped, again!."
I perceive someone slowly coming towards me.
This makes me sick, sick of fear with my long, heavy and uncomfortable stomach
Without realizing we jam into each other,
We both shudder and scream at each other's touch.
"Are you crazy?. Why all this?. You really freaked me up!."
I yell. I'm all red.
"Sorry!. I just wanted to surprise you!. Sorry, so sorry... Why are you this appall?."
Izzy shouts back
We both laugh.
For a moment, I felt my heart skipping out of my chest.
“I don't ever do this again. OMG,”
I offer her a seat.
“I'm sorry girl!.”
She cries
“It's fine!.”
I nod.
"I love your new house!."
Stunned, she analysis the house with her sights.
"I know, this is the third time you are telling me this!."
I roll my eyes as I answer her
"I will keep telling it. So what's up?."
Izzy asks
My smile immediately falls.
"Hey, talk to me!. Is it Andrew?."
She gets closer with a worried gaze.
"No!. Frank!."
I whisper
"Frank!!!!."
Izzy exclaims.
"Yeah!."
I nod at her.
Then I begin to explain everything.
"So, sorry girl. He will be found, don't worry!."
She feels weak.
"Very bad news!.”
She takes a deep breath
“Anyway, I'm here to put a smile on your drowsy face. I'm God-sent!. Hahhaha"
She quickly gets up from her seat and drags me into the kitchen.
We are in the kitchen now,
She places me on the small dining table found in the kitchen.
"You are still in your nightgown. I presume you haven't eaten since morning and I'm very hungry as well!. So I'm making a quick breakfast!."
She decipher's.
“Okay...”
I'm shocked.
I notice a market sack on the shell.
"How did this land her?."
I point at the bag.
She gives me a gaze of victory like to say that "I'm a super girl!."
I laugh at her glances.
"Grace, you have to eat!. Not all this factory rubbish you eat. I mean real good homemade food."
She unleashes the stuff in the sack.
She prepares quick breakfast with bread, scrambled eggs, and a nice milky coffee, thick as I love it.
Then she directly serves.
"It's so delicious."
I murmur out of satisfaction. I'm practically eating my fingers right now.
"I know!."
She nods
We eat, discuss, and laughing.
"I missed you!."
She turns and whispers it to me.
"I missed you too!."
I nod at her with our eyes so much filled with droplet tears of affection.
"How I wish Elizabeth was here!."
We both wondered aloud, spontaneously.
This made us laugh.
"Let's move to the parlour?."
I ask as soon as we were done eating breakfast.
"No!."
She nods.
"I have to prepare for your favourite soup. I will keep it in the fridged in case you get hungry and you are lazy to cook. You will just have to warm it in the microwave and boil some rice.
Then for Andrew, I don't give a fuck!. Ha-ha-ha!."
She laughed at her own words
"Hey, you are speaking of my man!."
I teas her,
I am so flattered with her love and care right now. That I couldn't hold it.
I step down the chair striding to her. I grip her right.
"Get off me!."
She teases me back.
She doesn't pull me off anyway. I stick to her.
We are both laughing.
"Let me help you!."
I offer
"No, no, no!. You sit there, and watch me do!."
She shoves me back to my seat.
"I want to do something!."
I insist
Until she finally gives up.
{knocks on the big gate!.}
The gateman takes care of that.
I glimpse men entering the house. Men with very black suits, black inner shirts, and black ties, with good polished shining black shoes.
I rush to stand in front of the door leading to compound. From the gate door, they move straight to me.
"Good morning madam!.”
They greet, I greet them back.
“We have been sent by Mr. Andrew. We are from the General security club... blah blah blah..."
They introduce themselves.
I'm stunned, Andrew didn't inform me about this.
These men are so scary!. I'm literally shivering right now.
"I'm your new house help!."
A mother pushes out her way and moves out in-between those huge men.
Initially, I didn't notice her.
"Okay... and well come!."
I thank them
{Phone SMS notification!}
My phone is in the kitchen with Izzy.
As soon as the SMS alert gets in, she picks the phone and rushed to me.
"You have an SMS or a miscall!."
She passes me my phone
I quickly check it hoping to get Andrews's text.
"And who are they?."
Izzy wonders aloud, as she sees the three huge men.
They immediately introduced themselves to Izzy.
"We are here to assure Miss, Grace's and the household’s protection!."
They explain
"Oh, I see it!. Fine!.”
Izzy retorts
My smile fades away, my stomach burns. My legs were swollen as I read the text.
I helplessly seat on the ground.
Izzy doesn't notice is she still busy charting. When she turns, she found me seated on the ground, weak and sobbing.
"What's the matter with you again?."
She rushes to me
"Read this!."
I give her my phone
She reads the text messages which say this;
"If you ever want to see your brother again, meet me this evening at...... Don't tell anyone. Your lover!."
End of the text.
"OMG, Grace, I can't believe this. I thought we were already done with all this suffering!."
Izzy yell, not at me but nature. She is mad.
“Let's call your parents or Andrew!. Yes, Andrew!.”
She gets anxious as fears take control over her.
“Are you crazy?. We can't call them!. Didn't you see what is written there?.”
I shout.
“What are we going to do now?.”
She effortlessly seats on the ground, next to me.
She clenches my fist.
I feel shattered words can't explain how I feel right now. When I thought I was having a new life and change, my old demons start appearing.
