Chapter 69

Author: RACHEAL DENNIS.

RACHEL’S pov.

“Perfect” I said as I checked out myself one last time in the mirror.

I’ve been checking out myself one last time for the past twenty minutes, I always end up not being satisfied with my outfit, and changing either my blouse or my skirt or my p.ant.

I don’t seem to find the right outfit to wear, because my baby’s bump is making every single piece of cloth I try on look so odd.

Hold on a sec, why am I getting all worked up over what to wear? Aren’t I just going over there to end things up with Duncan for good?

Why am I feeling, or behaving as if I’m actually going on my first date with my crush instead? I rolled my eyeballs at the weird thoughts, that were running a marathon in my head.

I snatched my bag from the dresser, reached for my phone and checked the time, then gasped when I realized it’s already 6pm, and quickly dashed towards the door, but stopped abruptly when I noticed I was wearing heels.

Now, don’t try to lecture me about pregnant women aren’t supposed to wear heels, because I already know that. I just wore it, because I miss the feeling of wearing heels.

I quickly changed into a pair of flats, and rushed out, but stopped outside Asher’s room and knocked on his door a few times.

“Asher, I’m leaving!” I shouted so he could hear me, you know in case he was sleeping -but got no response from him.

He’s been sulking and haven’t stepped out of his room for three whole hours, which I’m guessing was because I kinda shunned and warned him to get his bvtts outta I and Duncan’s affairs.

Well, if he’s angry just because of that, then that is very malicious of him, because he has no right whatsoever to get involved.

Now, I understand why Duncan was angry because I’m staying in Asher’s home, it seemed like he’s got the wrong impression about our relationship, and I’m so gonna fix that when I get back later.

“Asher, I gotta go now or I’m gonna be late”

Really? Gonna be late?
That sounds so much like going on a date, wait, why am I thinking about dating so much this evening?

Asher still didn’t reply me, so I sighed softly and hurried out.

Few Minutes Later

From Asher’s place to the main road was about fifteen minutes walk, and I couldn’t help but took a few breaks on the way, until I made it to the road.

Lucky for me, I secured a cab immediately I arrived at the road, and I handed the card Duncan gave to earlier, to the driver.

“Do you know where that place is?” I asked.

The cab driver stared at the card for a moment, then nodded in affirmation.

“Yeah”

“Good, take me there, please”

“Alright, let’s go there!” he said in a enthusiastic tone.

“Thanks” I smiled at his energetic personality.

THIRD PERSON’S pov.

Baldwin’s Penthouse, New Orleans

Mr Baldwin checked himself in the mirror, he fixed his tie and smoothened his perfectly gelled and combed hair, then nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, the door open and Lucas rushed in with a file.

“You forgot to knock” Mr Baldwin said, with his back facing Lucas.

“Sorry” Lucas replied.

He quickly stepped out of the room, and knocked twice on the door.

“Come in”

“Thank you, sir” he said and walked in.

Mr Baldwin walked towards a couch in front of his bed, and sat down.

“Sir, there’s an update from Mr Ferrari’s doctor about his condition” Lucas said.

“Yes?”

“He said Mr Ferrari has woken up, but he couldn’t speak and it seemed as if he’s having a short term memory loss, because the accident was too fatal, hence it affected his vital brain parts” he reported.

He arranged some papers on the table, and Mr Baldwin quickly glanced through with a small frown.

“Tell doctor Matteo to keep trying his best”

“Yes, sir”

“I need Ferrari’s testimony so bad, I need him to show me who the bitçh that had my mother klled is..” he glared maliciously at the empty space in front of him. “… and I swear, I’ll make her pay with her life!” he promised.

Lucas shuddered when he imagined how the scene of Mr Baldwin t®rturing his mother’s mvrderer, would look like and he took a step back.

There was a brief silence, until he cleared his throat and continued.

“We have also found the waiter who served the wine you had at Wetland Holiday Inn… ”

“Son of a bçh!” Mr Baldwin gr®wled. “Where’s the id!ot?!”

“Our men brought him back to base”

“T®rture him for a while”

“Sir?” Lucas raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Mr Baldwin snapped his head towards him, and Lucas took another step back.

“I’m at the verge of losing my wife, and it’s all because he served me a spiked wine”

“Oh”

“Let him suffer the pain he’s caused me for four months!”

“Yes, sir. Oh, the boys interrogated him and he said Tasha isn’t his boss, he was paid by a mysterious woman”

“Did he meet with her face to face? Can he describe her appearance?”

Lucas shook his head.

“He said they never met, they only spoke on phone, and he accepted the job because he needed the money urgently”

Mr Baldwin frowned.

“He’s lying” he narrowed his eyes. “T®rture him until he’s ready to recall her face, she’s definitely the bçh I’m looking for!”

“Yes, si… ”

Lucas’ words were interrupted as he listened to someone on his bluetooth, he nodded and faced Mr Baldwin.

“Sir, Mrs Baldwin has arrived”

Mr Baldwin grinned, and sprang up at once.

“Is everything ready?” he asked.

“Yes, sir”

“Check me out, do I look ok? Is my tie a little bit crooked?”

Lucas nodded.

“You’re perfect, sir”

“Good, let’s go”
