Frank's POV
.
I sat with patience at the restaurant booked for our date and the time that we agreed on has passed.
I checked my watch one more time and realised thirty minutes has passed, I keep glancing at the entrance hoping to see her but I was disappointed.
I want to believe that she will come cause she told me that she will and I don't want to think otherwise.
A lots of thought was running through my mind but I keep waving it off, then an hour passed.
' maybe she was caught up in traffic'
' or maybe she forgot'
I pulled out my phone and dialled her number and immediately her phone rang, I waited for her to pickup as it keeps ringing.
The call disconnected and I called again and the same thing happened again, I called for few more times and got the same result.
' is she avoiding?'
' Did she hate me that much that she refused to go out with me?'
' I know what to do'
I picked up my things and left the hotel, I entered my car and drove off.
Few minutes later I got home and parked the car but I noticed something Bella's car isn't in the garage.
' is she still in the office?'
' and here I thought she and I are making progress'
I entered the house and called her again but she didn't pick up still then I called the company's line.
" Good evening, this is Nelson and Richmond Limited, how may I be of service?"
" Is my wife still in the office?" I asked.
" I'm sorry, who is this?" The lady asked.
" This is Frank Nelson, now tell me is my wife still in the office?" I asked again.
" Oh Mr Nelson, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it's..."
" Enough already just answer the Damn question" I said angrily.
" No Sir, she left an hour ago" she said.
" What!, She left?, where did she go?" I asked.
" I'm sorry Sir, I don't know" she replied.
" What about Stella, her secretary?" I asked.
" She just left" she said.
" Send me her contact immediately" I said.
" Okay Sir" she said then I ended the call.
' is she cheating on me? Cause if she left an hour ago then where the hell is she?'
Few minutes Later my phone beeped the I realized it's the contact I asked for and I dialled immediately.
" Hello, who's this?"
" Put Bella on the phone now" I demanded.
" Mr Nelson?"
" Give the phone to my wife" I said again.
" Sir?, y-your wife is not here, she left the office early" she said.
" Where did she go?" I asked.
" She told me she's having a dinner with you so she left early" she said.
" Well I didn't see her, she didn't show up" I said.
" Whaat?"
" Tell me the truth Stella, is my wife seeing someone?" I asked.
" What!.. No, No Sir, your wife isn't like that" she said then my anger turned to worry.
" Oh God, I've been calling her line she's not picking up" I said.
" I'm very sure she's okay. I'll also try to reach her" Stella said.
" Alright then, when you do call me immediately" I said.
" Okay Sir" she said then I hung up.
.
' oh God, what's going on?, Hope it's not what I'm thinking'
I grabbed my keys and went out to look for her, I can't inform the police about it since it's not up to 24 hours.
I got into my car and drove off hoping to see her, I drove towards the road heading to her office.
I drove for about thirty minutes later and I saw a car up ahead parked by the roadside, I can't tell who's car it is so I drove closer.
As I got closer the car started getting familiar and I realised it's my wife's car.
' did her car broke down?, She should've called'
I drove closer and parked beside the car then got down, I looked into the car but didn't see her.
The engine is still running even her phone is in the car which will explain the reason for her not answering.
Even her car keys is right there but then where is she?.
'What happened?'
" Bella" I called looking around.
I looked for her around the place but didn't find her which got me more worried and I have an idea of what just happened.
' Oh God, she has been kidnapped'
{Next Day}
Cynthia's POV
.
I got down from the taxi and entered the compound of our apartment, I just got back from my night shift from work.
I'm very tired and I need a change of work cause this is very exhausting but I don't think that will be anytime soon.
I'm the only one with a job in the house and with fortunate still not even trying to find a Job.
I really don't know what's wrong with that girl, since she was sacked from her previous job she has been acting strange.
I don't know why she won't just let go of her boss, perhaps maybe faith didn't want them to be together.
Her action is what got her fired in the first place and instead of her letting it all go she didn't.
I've been noticing her actions and reactions this past few days, she's been acting strange and I can't help but think she's up to something.
I was about to entered the apartment when I heard her voice speaking to someone, I think maybe she's on a phone with someone.
" Have you got her?"
" Good, hope you make sure you're not followed"
'Who could she be talking to?'
' who could she be referring to?, what does she mean by '' have you got her?"
' oh God, what is this girl up to?'
" Great, don't do anything stupid just wait for me, I'm coming over"
" Text me the address"
" Okay...see you soon" she said and I think she ended the call.
I waited a few minutes not to look suspicious then I entered.
" Heyy girlfriend" I said smiling.
" You're back, And you're kinda early" she said.
" Yeah I know...I had to get home cause I'm very tired" I said.
" Yeah I can see that, you want me to cook for you?" She said excitedly.
" Nah...I'm good I just need to shower first then sleep" I replied.
"...and what got you all smiling?, you got win a bet?" I asked.
" I can't tell you but it's more than that?" She said.
" Oh. so you're keeping things from me huh?" I said.
" Not like that, let's just say what I've been hoping for is about to come to pass" she replied.
" Hmm... okay" I muttered.
" I need to dress up, I'm going out" she said and made to enter the room.
" You going out?, where?" I asked.
" Not far, a friend of mine told me to come concerning a Job" she said.
" Really?" I asked.
" Yeah" she replied then entered the room.
Maybe she's not lying perhaps maybe I was too busy worrying about her.
I'm just glad that everything is about to get back to normal.
A message came to her phone which she placed on the table, I picked the phone and realized it's the address she asked for earlier about the Job.
I returned her phone and went to the room to shower as well and I really need to sleep.
After the shower I changed into a comfy cloth and ready to begin the journey to dream world.
" Hey babe, I'm ready to go...come lock the door" fortunate said.
" Alright" I said then followed her to the door.
" Good luck" I said as she left.
" See you later" she replied then left and I lock the door.
As I was heading back to the room the news on the TV caught my attention and I stopped on my track.
I saw who looked to be Fortunate's boss on the news, I picked up the TV remote and increase the volume.
" Oh God, could it be?...No, No., Fortunate definitely and can't possibly be capable of doing something like that'
' The fortunate I know who has been my friend for a long time can't be behind this, I'm definitely wrong about her'
' could she be the one?, Could she be that desperate to do something like this?, There's only one way to find out'
Author's POV
.
Frank is pacing around in his living room along with some people, then the police officers came to him.
" Mr Nelson" the officers called.
" Officers, any news...any news about my wife?" He asked.
" My men are still on it, I'm very sure it's only a matter of time before she's found especially with her pictures pasted around the city" the officer said.
" She has to be found officer, I want her found no matter how much of resources you need. I'm willing to spend it" Frank said.
" Mr Nelson, do you have any idea who could do something like this?" The officer asked.
" No, no one, she doesn't have much friends and definitely not enemies, I don't know who would do something like this" Frank said.
" Okay, And you haven't received a phone asking for a Ransom?" The officer asked.
" No... nothing" he replied.
" Okay. I don't want you to be worried, just try to be calm" the officer said.
" Calm?, calm?, Are you seriously hearing yourself right now?...who will be calm in this kind of situation?" Frank said angrily.
" Mr Nelson, you have a call" Stella said as she got to him.
" Not now Stella, I'm not taking any damn call" Frank replied.
" Sir, she said she have information about your wife's whereabout" Stella said then Frank ran to her and took the phone from her.
" Hello, Hello who's this?" Frank said hurriedly.
" Mr Nelson?" Cynthia said.
" Yes that's me, just tell me where my wife is" Frank said anxiously.
" Okay, I'm really not sure but I think you should check out this address, I will text it to you" she said.
" Are you sure she's there?" Frank said.
" I will text you the address, Good luck" she said then hung up.
" Where is she?" The officer asked.
" The person didn't say but she's going to text me the address" Frank replied then the phone beeped and he the address.
" I got the address" Frank announced.
" Alright Mr Nelson, you wait here and me and my men will check it out" the officer said.
" You must be joking cause there's nothing you can say that will stop me from going" Frank said.
Then he picked the car keys and went out and the officers have no choice but to follow him.
{An hour Later}
Bella's POV
.
I still couldn't explain or believe what's going on, I was kidnapped last night by some strange men.
I mean who would want to kidnap me, what have I done to anyone to deserve this, what could be their motives.
Since yesternight that I'm here none of them attended to me so I don't really know who I'm dealing with.
Oh Frank, he must've been worried sick for missing the date yesterday and not coming home.
" You're here" I heard from outside the room.
" I told you I would be" the second voice seems to be that of a lady.
' who could she be?, What did she want with me?'
" Where is she?" The lady asked.
" In here" I heard then the door opened and I see a grumpy looking man and a lady my age.
" Oh my, She's beautiful" she said coming closer to me.
" Who are you?, What do you want?" I asked.
" Hmm not bad, no wonder Frank decided to stick with her" she said and I was surprised.
' Frank'
" You knew Frank?" I asked.
" Yeah, and if not for you he and I will be married by now" she said then I realized who she is.
" Oh, then you must be the girl fortunate" I said.
" Oh I see he told you about me" she said.
" Yeah he did told me about how a girl was crazy about him, I never believed him but now I do cause you're indeed crazy" I said then she slapped me.
" F**k you b***h, I see you're not afraid of what might happen to you here" she said.
" At least I know now that Frank love me, and he dump your sorry A** just to be with me" I said grinning then he landed me another slap.
" I see you're enjoying this but not to worry, I'm here to set some things right and you will never be a problem"
" And Frank will be mine" she said.
" I never dreamed of being in a situation whereby I'll be killed because of a man, and for you to actually be doing this. you're a disgrace to womanhood" I said.
" Oh darling, I never said I'm the one to kill you, they will" she said then went to the grumpy man.
" Get rid of her" I heard her say and my heart jumped.
" If you don't mind, the chick look so hot...my boys and I will like to have a feel of that juicy a**" the man said and my heart started beating faster.
' oh no, oh God no,...F-Frank where are you?'
" I don't care what you do to her just make sure she's dead, and when you're done send me her dead pictures" she said.
" No Problem, Miss" the man said then she left.
" Heyy Boys. Let's have some fun"
