MIAI held Vicky's hand, pouring my discomfort into my hold as their eyes moved to us. "Morning," Marcel said, chewing something. " Come on in." I walked into the room and moved towards the empty side which is Marcel's right-hand side. I don't know why all the women and their kids sat on the left where there are empty seats here. I took out a seat for Vicky and she sat on it. I took out mine which is the second seat after the first seats close to Marcel. "Glad you could join us," Marcel said, smiling. I felt eyes on me, making me look at them. The women are staring at me. Maliciously. The first one is seated next to the kid who seems to be Vicky's age. The second has a few-month-old baby next to her and the third one does as well. They are both feeding their babies but throwing unpleasant glances at me. I lowered my gaze, wondering who they were. And why are they looking at me like I came to steal from them or something? "Ladies," Marcel spoke up, making me look at him.

BIG KAI "I....I don't know, sir. She is not back yet." I lost my soul again. "Vicky too," she added. "Sir," Caleb called, taking my attention. "You need to go to bed. You need rest." "Why haven't I seen Mia since yesterday?" He exchanged a look with Coco. "Caleb." He looked at me. "Where the fuck is she?" "Sir, she....." "Kai!" Imani's voice sent adrenaline to my fucking brain. The door closed as her heels approached the living room. I clenched my knuckles as she came into sight with her maid standing behind her. Both were still dressed in funeral attire just like the rest of us. "Caleb, take the kid away. I need to speak to my brother about something important." She ordered, moving the white envelope in her hands. "Is this a fucking joke, Imani?" I asked calmly. She shook her head. "You should take your things and leave in one piece. I'm calm right now cause I don't wanna defile mama's memory this early. But that can change if you keep pushing your fucking luck."

BIG KAIWEEKS LATER.......NIGHT HOURSALONG THE ROAD.,..."Talk to me," I said to the person at the other end of the line as I stared at the busy road and passing flashlights as we drove. "We haven't found her yet." I gritted my teeth. "It's been fucking weeks and nothing about my fiancé. How fucking useless are you all, Caleb?" "We are trying our best, sir. We will definitely find her. Trust me." ."You have been saying the same damn shit for the past two weeks, Caleb. You all are fucking useless." "We are going to find her. I assure you." "Forget it." I hung up, locking my phone. I moved my eyes to the window. "The fuck you at, shawty? Two fucking weeks, girl. How could you do this to me? Where the fuck are you?" I gritted my teeth, as the slow motion of the car made my fucking skin crawl. "Step on this fucking shit!" "Sorry boss." the damn driver said, increasing his speed. Not long later, we pulled up in front of the event hall. Today is an All-Hood social event and I

MIA “Oh yeah? We gonna see about that," he said, replaying his smile with a frown. He attempted to move towards Big Kai. My legs moved before my brain could command it. They quickly ran and stood in front of Marcel, stopping him in his tracks. "That's enough," I ordered, void of where the courage came from. He raised his brows. "You are making a scene," I said, feeling people's eyes on us. He raised his hands playfully in surrender, chuckling afterward. "See, Kai. This white slut is fucking your rival." I heard Imani say. I closed my eyes, feeling anger building up but before I could turn to her, I got grabbed by my arm, my back hit his hard chest and a familiar scent hit my nose. The scent I have missed so much. I turned my head to him. My heart raced as I locked eyes with beautiful icy blue ones. "What the fuck is going on, shawty?" he snarled. My heart fluttered at the name. It shouldn’t because I know he is angry. But I have missed everything about him. T

MIA NEXT DAY......."Are we going back to Jay Jay and uncle's place?" I didn't respond but closed the door. I picked up our bag and held Vicky's hand. "Mia?" "Yeah?" I looked at her as we walked. "Are you mad at me?" she asked, making her usual guilty face. I stopped in my tracks. "No, no. Why would you ask that?" "You look upset." I moved a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I am not upset, okay. I am just tired. I didn't sleep much last night." I said, resuming our walk. "Was the party good?" she asked. I nodded. "Mm hmm." "So are we going to see Jay Jay and uncle? I really missed them." My heart ached but I forced a smile. "Me too." She jumped happily as we walked. I have no idea where to go from here. I guess I will have to think about where to go on the road. It is almost nine AM and no sign of Big Kai yet. A part of me is relieved. I have more time to leave. Another part of me is unhappy. I told him to stay away from me and he let me go that easily? He accept
