365 Days To Love-Chapter 86 - EIGHTY-SIX:Who Is She Killing Tonight?
"Your mother is missing"
These four sentences seemed to do the trick on Nathan because he left the chatty female without giving any further utterances to her before he left for his car.
This time he felt those emotions which he detest,those emotions which he had called weakness, but that wasn’t the problem here,he could go ahead and feel whatever it is that he didn’t like as long as it meant that his mother was alive and safe.
His father didn’t give him any other words to make it possible for him to look for her aside from those words,he was on edge and felt like his world came crashing down the moment his dad told him that.
His first love was missing.
His mother had always been the only woman in his heart,who he would bring heaven to her feet if she asked,though she wasn’t in her best health this also made his heart palpitate faster with the thoughts of someone else finding her before they did.
He won’t let his grandpa take her away from him if eventually she gets caughts in her not so best attitude,he wondered what actually happened to her for it to result in this, was it his father’s fault this time?
He knew his mother can be a handful and really frustrating when she wants to be,which made his curiosity soar higher than before,what was she up to?
He remembered her complaining bitterly about Hazel,was she planning on killing her?, with these thoughts,he over crossed his limit,racing home dread forming upon his face when he saw his dad outside with an umbrella.
The rain wasn’t helping the matter at all,making it hard to look for her, if actually she was still in the house,they needed to act fast and carefully,really careful without attracting the attention of these other family members, especially Grandpa.
He knew how heartless the old man could be,if everyone agreed on not sending her to the hospital he knew the old man’s opinion would be different,because he would be the first person to rush her there due to his hatred for her.
"Son?"Elijah called,his face wass contoured with different expressions that wasn’t worth talking about,he was in the verge of losing his sanity here,he was so stupid to have fallen for her trick this time.
Waking up to see the room empty without any trace of her,he rushed out and searched everywhere carefully but that was in fruitless effort.
Sophia was smart and cunning,the last thing she would do was leave a trace for her to be found or make it any easy for him to find her,luckily the sedatives she injected into his system wasn’t a strong one but regardless the damage was done because he slept for a while thirty minutes which gives her enough time to go ahead with her plans.
What made the matters worse was that he didn’t know which guard exactly made her angry so that he would find her easily,she loves playing these types of games,it gives her immense joy leaving him on edge,and knew it won’t be long if this continues without him doing anything before she comes for his father and Hazel.
Not that he cared about the old man,he wouldn’t mind if she did him the honors of eliminating him but this wasn’t the time to do so,he still needs him for some important role in his plans.
Hazel too was another problem here,he hasn’t actually thought of what to do with her as long as she stayed in her lane and do not to annoy or frustrate him,he was good,but that wasn’t the same with Sophia,she disliked the girl with every fibre of her being making it obvious to him that it was just a matter of time before she kills her.
Which made him have difficulties in who exactly she was after tonight,she was still in the house that he knew of,but the question was,who is she after?
The guard was a sure thing, but his father and Hazel?
Was she going after them too?
Who is she killing tonight?
"Dad"Nathan called coming down from his car while his father stayed at the farther end in the garage while looking all over Incase someone might be eavesdropping on their conversation."what really happened, where’s mom?He asked,his voice more like a whisper while Elijah dropped the umbrella down his sides while sighing.
"She drugged me Nathan,I didn’t actually know she was up to something,because she acting normal them the next she started acting as if she had lost it,it’s getting worse son,what are we doing to do?"He explained to him,getting scared about keeping her here in the house.
"We do nothing"Nathan retorted back with a firm decision,it was obvious his daddy was already getting antsy about her stay here,what was he trying not say?
Moving his mother to another house was only going to attract more suspicion on their part,the old man was definitely going to find out about her if they did that.
"Nathan"He called.
*What are you trying to say? Moving out of the house is only going to make your father get more suspicious of us,she’s staying"Nathan said with finality laced in his tone, his father nodded his head ,he was not in the mood to argue with him tonight not when they still have far more important things to handle.
"I will check inside,you check outside on a low key"He added,tugging at his tie in frustration while he nodded his head before leaving him while he strode inside trying to keep his calm and act like the normal Nathan.
When has he ever been calm?
How does the normal Nathan behave?
This was one of those times he wished no one would stop or give him any attention because he really wasn’t in the mood for anyone but his prayer wasn’t answered because his grandpa was in the sitting room watching his favourite show.
"How was the dinner appointment?"
So much for trying to act calm,and calm he wasn’t when the first statement he dropped,it seems as if he was waiting for him to be back so that he could talk about it with him,but this wasn’t a good time grandpa, definitely not a good time.
Be Calm Nathan,be calm!
"It went well grandpa"he said,a forced smile resting on his face to hide the fact that he stood Mary up.
But his grandpa was no fool,he could see through his facade that he was acting unusual avd unlike the Nathan he knew.
Time is running out Nathan!
"Then I will be up,I need to shower,it’s cold you know"he laughed nervously when his grandpa sent a sharp gaze at him,making his heart race,who was he trying to decieve? The old man knew he was lying but felt relaxed as if nothing was happening.
He was out before he could drop more profanities and rushed to his room,tugging it open to be met with darkness,he turned the light on, going through his bathroom and office Incase if she might be hiding away from his father.
He threw his jacket and tie on top of his bed,rolling the edge of his shirt up his arm. He was having a headache already and left the room,checking the verandahs and met Ma Lee in the kitchen.
"Young master"Ma Lee smiled,her head raising up from what she was doing,it was Sophia’s turn to make dinner but she wasn’t here with her but she couldn’t ask her son about her so as to not incur her wrath.
Avery was Kind,Sophia was heartless, knowing that, she had worked for the family for years since they were kids without any hassle on her side.
"Hi"he smiled leaning ontop of the counter which surprised her,this was the first time he talked to her since he came back"have you seen my mom?"
"No,isn’t she in her room?"
"I think so,I will be back"he said leaving before she could ask further,he walked towards her room,surprisingly the door was a bit opened.
She’s back.
Turning the lights on,he walked further while taking careful steps,his heart beating loudly in fear of what he might find,as his dad had told him earlier she was in her best mood and might hurt him if she needed to do that.
And that was when he saw the blood on the door handle in the bathroom,looking down to see more staining the floors,his heart stopped for a bit when the thoughts of what might be happening inside the bathroom came through his mind.
Taking his phone out of his pocket,he heard the water from the bathroom running,it was no secret that she was hiding in there,but why would she do that?
Unless, she’s back to her senses and is regretting what she did.
"She’s back"He told his dad when he picked up,and cut the call immediately while taking careful steps towards the door.
Whose blood is that on the door handle?
Hazel?
He opened the door with force,his feet glued to the ground,what he saw made his stomach turn and he felt the urge to spill every contents in his system.
What the fuck!
His mother is a....
