A day later
?Marcus’s POV?
I’ve been trying to get across to Nora since she left.
I’ve called and called but its always switched off.
“What is happening?” I mean she said that she’ll always come by.
“Or did something happen to her?” No no nothing happened.
If anything had happened it could have been on net.
My mind wasn’t at rest at the office all day.
I kept thinking about her.
“Oh geez! Am going crazy thinking about what must have possibly gone wrong.”
My phone started ringing and I picked it up without looking at the caller.
Hoping it was Nora on the line.
Hello.
“Mar! I heard Mason’s voice and groaned.”
“Hey man! Haven’t you been able to get across to her?” His voice boomed through the speaker.
No mason and am really worried.
“Maybe I’ll go check at the mansion?” I suggested.
“Really? You’ll go there?” He asked and I signed.
“Of course mason. Its been a day turning to two, I replied.”
“Okay then, notify me if you find her, he cooed and hanged up.”
I picked up my car keys and left the office.
I need to go there right away.
I got to the parking lot and drove off to the mansion.
*
I got to the mansion and the securities discovered I was the one and opened the gate interrogation.
I drove in and wow.
This mansion is one in a million.
Woos! I Parked at a corner and got down.
I headed for the door and before I could knock the door opened.
Mabel her younger sis opened the door.
Her eyes widened when she saw me.
“Hi Marcus! She beamed.”
“Hey! Can I talk to Sylvia?” I asked.
“Oh! she didn’t tell you?” Dad sent her to Manila for a business meeting which will hold for..maybe a week or two. I don’t really no tho, she said.
I exhaled and closed my eyes.
Thank goodness she’s safe at least.
“But wait, she travelled without letting me no and am here dying to no what’s up. ”
Oh OK! I replied and made to leave but she stopped me.
“Come on in Marcus, don’t be like that.” Who knows you might be my in law soon, she chuckled but I was in no situation for any of that.
“No, am sorry but I can’t cause I have somewhere important to be, I replied and left without hearing her reply.”
Why didn’t Nora tell me she was going on a trip for her dad? And why isn’t she picking up her calls? Why?”
I drove tirelessly through the road back to the office.
I picked few things and went back to the car.
I needed to go home to relax a bit – at least.
My phone rang immediately I got into the car.
“Mason I went and she travelled to manila, I said immediately I had picked the call.”
“Manila? For what?”
“Business meeting, I replied.”
“But why didn’t she tell you? Why isn’t she picking up your calls?” He asked.
“I don’t no. Have you tried Calling her?” I asked him.
“No lemme try, hold on.”
He cut the call and I waited for him to call back.
Few minutes later he called back.
“Nothing man. Switched off, he said.”
I placed my head on the car sit and closed my eyes.
I’ve missed her like hell.
“Why is she doing this to me?”
Not a phone call. Not even one.
“She travelled without my knowledge. What’s going on honesty?”
Marcus!
Marcus!! I heard and opened my eyes to stare at the phone I was holding.
“Oh! Mason was still on the line.”
“Hey man later, I simply said and cut the call then toss the phone away”
?Nora’s POV?
I arrived at the mansion a day before yesterday and dad had told me to summit my phones to him – all of em.
He said he had also booked a flight for me to Manila.
I was to go and associate with some of his business partners without Rachel’s knowledge.
I wonder why he doesn’t want Rachel to know tho so I obliged and summited every phone I had.
He had told me not to worry that he was gonna call and inform Marcus of my sudden trip.
I was not even allowed to use a phone as he made such a guard followed me about.
“I no Marcus will be really worried. I wish I can still tell him by myself.”
“I miss him a lot and can’t wait to see him again.”
?Marcus’s POV?
“I got home and parked the car, then got out.”
I walked tiredly and sluggishly into my house.
There was no Nora to prepare meal for me.
I made to go to my room but Lena stopped me.
“Sir, your food is ready.”
“Food? Prepared by Nora?” I asked.
No sir but..
“I don’t want it, I said and went up to my room.”
I opened the door and a nice scent caught my nostril.
I looked round the room and it was so beautiful.
“What?”
I closed the door as I walked in.
There was red light on making the room a bit dim.
The bedsheets were changed to another.
Flowers on the floor.
“What’s all this?”I wondered.
Even a slow romantic music was playing. It wasn’t really loud tho.
I heard foot steps and turned towards my bathroom side to see
What??
Rachel?
She was wearing a red pant, bra and sxy linger.
I stood frozen as I stared at her.
“When did she get in to do all this?”
She walked $eductively towards me.
“How did you get in here?” I asked.
“And what is all this?” I asked.
Come on babe.
“You’re my fiancé remember?” She cooed and behind me.
“You’ll be mine once again my love, I heard her say.”
TBC
