TWENTY THREE
Past nine in the evening and I am still here outside the building where my condo is based. I almost walked around the area that Hailey might go to but there is no sign of her. I no longer knew where to look for her.
I hit the steering wheel of the car. I don’t know where else I’m going to find Ley. I need an update about her before she can be declared missing or else tomorrow morning I will sleep in jail if someone knows what happens between us.
“Province,” I said softly. I don’t have any choice but to go home to her place. I need to talk to her parents and get ahead of them before they think bad things against me.
I decided to go to the condo first to get things. I’ll go out even at night for tomorrow morning I can talk to her parents and we can file a report at the same time that Ley is missing.
Somehow I will prove I am innocent. In the loss of my wife.
When I got out of the elevator I saw Kyla frowning as she stood outside the condo.
“Where have you been?” She asked angrily and immediately turned away when I tried to kiss her.
“I called you how many times but your mobile was off. I’ve been waiting here in front of your condo for more than an hour. ”
“I broke my phone and I am sorry, I’m searching for Ley.” I gently answer her.
“What, why, where is she?”
I would have opened the door for us to talk inside but the door of the condo next to us opened just in time. I remember that this was where the siblings Ley knew were staying. The siblings hurried out with their bags in hand.
“Lock the door Agatha, faster we don’t have enough time.” I heard the man say, the one who I saw hugging Ley.
Suddenly a thought and conclusion crossed my mind. The siblings leave with Ley’s disappearance.
“Wait,” I shouted at the two who immediately stopped and looked at me. Kyla followed me also.
“Yes?” The woman faced me.
“Did you have anything to do with the loss of my wife?” I asked the two who raised an eyebrow. I don’t know where that idea came from.
“Excused me?” asked the woman who didn’t seem to like my question.
“Did you have anything to do with Ley’s disappearance?” I repeat. They looked at each other. The man was shaken and then released the bag, the woman laughed out loud and when she stopped she waved her hands in front of me.
“Are you accusing us Mr?” Then, she snaps her fingers repeatedly as if she thinks about my name.” God, I don’t care. Mr fuck you, just for cute.”
“Agatha.” The man rebuked her.
“Whatever, Mr. Hunter Lewis right? What did you say again, your wife is missing? So what do we care if she’s missing?” The woman asked annoyed. I would have answered when Kyla suddenly interrupt.
“She only knows you here, and I guess there is something special between Hailey and your brother.”
“Fittings don’t count opinions.” Kyla’s face went up. “Then, don’t feel like a saint, and excuse us, don’t blame my brother for your wife’s disappearance. You created a story easily, why are you a writer, ah no, it’s just a picker, oh that’s rhyme ah. Homewrecker. ”
I was about to answer to rebuke her but her brother rebuked her again. Why is the woman’s temper so hot with Kyla? It was the first time they met at the bookstore, but she was really fighting Kyla.
“Enough Agatha.” The man whispered to his sister.
“No, Asher, I still enjoy belittling this flirtatious retouch that precedes us.”
“We’re in a hurry remember?” The woman suddenly fell silent and then picked up the bag.
“Listen, Mr. Lewis. We don’t know about the loss of your wife. Well, I care now that I know she’s missing because somehow she became close to me. Even though I only saw her a few times. But sad to say, I don’t have time to help you because we have something more important to prioritize as siblings,” He said then finally carried the two bags. “I don’t know where she is.”
Then he prompted her sister who struggled even more with us before following him.
But suddenly he stopped and faced me.” And please erase on your mind that there is something between me and your wife. Both of us knows how faithful she is to you, I hope did you see that before she went missing, as you said.” Then head for the elevator.
“Damn!” I whispered softly when they were completely gone, I opened the condo and left Kyla outside. Why did I think they had a relationship?
“Is it true that Hailey is missing?” Kyla asked.
“Yeah,” I answered simply then went straight to the bedroom. I suddenly lost my appetite and I feel I am too exhausted.
“How?” I lay down on the bed then played with the top of my nose. I’m really not in the condition to talk right now. My mind is full of thoughts not because Hailey is missing, but because of the consequences. “Are you worried about her?” Kyla asked like she is disappointed in my actions.
I stood up and I grabbed her closer to me. “I was worried, yes, because of what could happen to us, to me, our annulment is in process and if something bad happens to her, I will fail in jail.” Then I told her everything that Atty. Cruz said. Kyla was surprised by everything I revealed to her.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Babe.”
“Don’t worry, there is no update yet. Tomorrow morning, I will visit Ley’s parents and I will hear about Ley, I will talk to her parents first so that they will not think that I am guilty of losing Ley.” I assure her.
“Can I come?” she asked.
“No, we couldn’t be seen together.”
I wasn’t worried about being incarcerated, I was more worried about what her daddy could do. not just to Kyla and me, but also to our family.
“I want you to come with me but Hailey’s family is known her place. Ley is also known and they know that Ley is my wife. What if we just enter and the people there get to know us? especially everyone knows that you were my fiancee. ”
“I got it, babe,” she answered kiss me. “But update me every now and then,” she added.
“Sure, I will,”
“I’m worried about Ley, where is she right now. I know she’s madly in love with you. What if—”
“She’s ok. We’re ok.”
She nodded then laid her head on my shoulder.
