It felt very unusual for Richard to spend the whole evening without calling to check on her and she could not shake off the eerie feeling she felt. Once, she had managed track Richard’s phone to his hostel and she found out his room number without his knowledge. Now, his phone was no longer giving off the location signals that usually helped her to know where he was. So, she had to be content with going this hostel to ask about him The following morning, Elise left her house with woolen wrap, tucked around her neck. She also put on her knee high boots and wore a pair of warm hand gloves. When she woke up that Morning, she had overhead one of the home staff complaining about the weather. It had snowed all nights and the news on the radio revealed that the local roads were all blocked so citizens had to stay stuck at home until the road workers came over at noon to clear off the snow.Elise was downcast and she decided not to risk her safety by going out in the snowy weather. She wa
This was his chance to leave this unknown place. Richard reasoned to himself. It was to his advantage that the man outside the bathroom was gullible enough to let him out of the other room so easily.The bathroom was clean. The tub and the towels were dry.The medicine cabinet above the sink had a mirrored door and behind it were over-the-counter analgesics, and toothpaste, and tampons, and dental floss, and spare soap and shampoo.The toilet seat was only short distance away from where he stood. Judging by what he saw in the bathroom, Richard could tell that a lady lived in that house. There was a pink colored towel hung on a small rack behind the door of the bathroom.He bent over and picked up a small hammer that was lying on the bathroom floor. He positioned it between his hands and he pushed the bathroom door open as quietly as he could.The bodyguard had his back facing Richard and he was not aware that Richard was standing by the open doorway of the bathroom. He was completel
Richard watched as she tried to pull off her coat. Somehow, her long slender arms pinned behind her back for a moment. She was stuck. As she struggled to free her arms, Richard eyes fell on her exposed cleavage. Richard swallowed hard and rose to help her. He was still trying to squeeze around the small table, in an attempt to get to where she was when she finally broke free of the coat and pulled it over the back of the chair. He sat back down. She looked down at her shirt, it was a tight-fitting black-and-white striped shirt that clung firmly to her body, she stretched herself and started to push the sleeves to her elbow. “Sorry, I didn’t really know what to wear,” she muttered, embarrassed at what had just happened. “I haven’t really been on a date in a while.” She looked up at him, and he could tell that she was watching him for his reaction. He knew that he should say something – contradict her, raise some sort of objection – but he just sat there, expressionless, unable to
.“Do you think David is not over the breakup?” she asked.He shook his head.“Seeking to get back at me?”Richard nodded.“He lost me. It is such a shame that he can never get me any more because someone way better found me” She winked at him.He smiled. “Someone got you?” “Handsome, tall, very full of mystery…” Elise explained. "I only wish I knew why he disappeared into thin air last week”Richard froze, his smile disappearing. Elise’s last words danced around in his head. That only meant one thing.She was still thinking of the period he did not talk to him for four days. Richard looked down at his cake, pushing his fork into it. “You still have not told me anything about your sudden disappearance " She said, pinning him down with her eyes. She watched him as he picked at the cake, pushing the icing to the edge of the plate. “Don’t you think you should let me know? Do you think I believe that made up story about you falling sick?” she asked.“I don’t know.” Richard said shar
The two of them returned home late that night. It was already 11pm when they arrived at the residence. Despite her husband’s reassurance that their daughter was grown enough to take care of herself, Susan still insisted on staying up to wait for Elise to return home.She was worried. It was more than worry; she was filled with fear that something she could not place a finger on was going to happen to her daughter as it was already late into the night. It was so unlike Elise to go out without letting any of her parents know where she was. Moreover, it was late. Her daughter was not a kind ego kept late nights. Again, Susan called Elise’s personal driver, Mike. He was one of the staff who resided on the staff building at the residence That was her third time of calling the driver that evening. The answer remained the same.He had no idea of where Elise was.It was even worse because Elise had not discussed anything with him since morning. It was only the gatekeepers that mentioned h
“Why?” He asked, surprised as he threw his head backwards to get a better view of her face. “You made it possible for me to see Richard yesterday, Dad” Elise’s words were laced with happiness as the memories of the previous nights filled her mind. “Oh, that?” He sighed, rubbing his forearms. “There’s nothing I cannot for you. I’m glad it made you happy. What was it like? Your mother’s worries almost made me to divulge your whereabouts to her.”Elise giggled softly as she remembered how angry her mother had been when she returned home previous night.. It felt good for her to share a secret with her father that her mother was notgoing to find out anytime soon. When Richard asked her out on a date the night before, she had first called her dada to let him know and he gave her the permission to stay out as late. It made him happy that his daughter was finally falling in love as a result of what she felt and not because of the person’s Financial status.“It was crazy fun” She grinned
“Yes” Elise’s mother’s high pitched voice rang out from where she was seated with her family by the dinner table. She had just announced to her husband and her daughter that she was able to secure one of the biggest contracts of her life. It was a contract that ha given her sleepless nights for weeks. Her husband beamed with pride as she explained how she was able to close a deal with the client.Elise was also pleased by her mother’s wonderful achievement and feat, but her attention was divided. She kept thinking of something else and every once in a while, she would throw a quick glance at the main door, half expecting it to open. Her mother signaled at one of the cook who stood by the corner of the large room with her hands at her back. The cook disappeared. In less than no time, she was back again staggering under the weight of an enormous round chocolate cake on a china platter. The cake was fully eighteen inches in diameter and it was covered with dark-brown chocolate icing
Elise drew in a sharp breath and looked around in the car. It was spotless; almost new. From the outside, one would think that this car had lived a thousand years and survived because of how badly dented it was, but the interior of the car was somethingelse.It was breathtakingly beautiful, Elise thought to herself. The seats were still clean and they looked like the leather had been recently fixed. Elise peered out of the window and caught the strong, muscled figure of Richard as he took long strides towards the car.She headed a deep breath and briefly looked down to her blouse. Her cleavage was showing and the soft flesh of her breasts rose as she breathed heavily.She adjusted the bluse so it would reveal more flesh and she smacked her lips.This was perfect. She told herself. She did not know why but, all of a sudden, she had begun to feel the urge to let Richard see how attractive she was. The car door opened and he slid in. The exotic fragrance of his body spray filled the ca
