✨AALIYAH POV✨
I made a drawing of Ric’s house and dropped my art journal on the table. I looked down at my necklace, too happy seeing my Dad alive. I wouldn’t believe it until I saw him. We speak daily, and I enjoyed his interesting berceuse every night
Then I picked up my art journal again, drawing my Dad’s portrait for thirty minutes. Truthfully, I do sometimes miss being able to wander the city everyday, shopping, watching movies, eating chocolate and pizza. I fell asleep on the couch waiting for Ric and Kohen to come home.
I woke up suddenly when a hand tapped me on the shoulder, with my heart pounding many times I glanced up. A Sentinel stood as close to me as he could and I looked at him with wide, terrified eyes.
“I’m sorry if I frightened you. Your Dad is waiting for you outside” He said
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, I was glued to the spot, terror-stricken. Briefly paralysed with shock. I just had a dream of getting shot in the head and I was scared
“Why am I usually in trouble in my dreams?” I looked out the window at the blue pure sky, and feel light breaths of fresh air coming from the half-closed shutters.
“Now that my Dad is alive again and survived, hardest part was over. Right?” I asked myself and followed the Sentinel out of the house, but where I got confused was why Dad decided not to come inside the house
I hesitated, unsure of what to do. So I hung back for fear of being seen outside because honestly I didn’t want to upset Ric. I was in two minds whether to go back or to follow him when he spoke up
“We have to get out of the gate — we can’t get pinned down” He said, smiling
I nodded and I walked closed behind him. He opened the gate and I saw an unknown man standing, he seemed strange to me and I couldn’t recognize him.
When I looked back, I was filled with sadness because I couldn’t find the guard again
In a blink, a handkerchief was pressed to my nose and immediately I breathed in the scent, I knew that the handkerchief was dipped in chloroform which caused instant unconciousness.
☯ ALISA POV☯
I was sitting at my desk in my office and thought about all the history that happened there, then I realized how much I appreciated Rhoda for her role in my life. She listened when I speak, she was generally kind, confident, inspiring, bold, truthful, dedicated, and honest. She was indeed a woman of high value
Rhoda had two Shopping Malls in her name and she willed one of it to me and told me never to depend on my husband for financial support. She taught me how to get to know myself, to make my own decisions, set goals for myself, learn to love myself and take responsibility for myself.
I would have called Rhoda to tell her whatever I was feeling whenever I felt confused. I had lack motivation to do things since I found out that my husband had a mistress and just didn’t care about what was going on around me
“Madam your telephone is ringing” One of my workers, Betsy said. She took my bag and handed it to me
I answered the call and Kohen informed me that Aaliyah was kidnapped from Ric’s home few hours ago. I sat dumbstruck, I became scared as I slowly sat up and put my phone inside my bag with a trembling hand. I rushed out of my office and Betsy closed my office door.
