Chapter 7 Missing

Dami was really interested in the car ' it looks so lovely, when I grow older I'll request for that car or win it myself ' she concluded with determination after the race Dami wanted to drive a few of the little cars for kids so after much pleading Nema allowed her to drive it, Dami went into the changing room with Freda who had a little interest in driving those kind of toys, Dami changed quickly and left excitedly so she did not see the figure that was staring at her but Freda who saw the figure did not say anything when the person gestured her to keep quiet

Dami was really excited, it had really been long since she drove, she started the car and drove off with Freda who sat in the other chair beside her,

"Freda, do you also love car racing?" Dami asked while steering

"Not much" Freda replies they had a lot of fun till they returned back to the mansion.

(Yera's cooperation)

The next few days flew really fast, in a skyscraper building Malik is seen sitting behind an office desk on the top floor then a ring was heard through the telecom on the desk

"Mr Malik, you have a visitor, Mr Justin Gowa sir" the secretary informed him

"hmm" he replied and ended the call, Seconds later, a knock is heard and his secretary leads Justin into the office and leaves

"Malik it has really been frustrating since" a haggard looking Justin says tiredly while sitting in the office sofa, there had been no leads whatsoever in finding Sasha, it's been two weeks now he really felt exhausted, the driver wasn't even helpful because he looked someone who lost his mind and there was call to show it was a kidnap case, she really disappeared

"bring two glasses of wine to my office"

Malik orders through the telecom before facing his friend "it's obvious she doesn't want to be found Justin, normally finding people had never been difficult" he knows for a fact what Sasha is capable of but if she really disappeared by herself what about the kids?

"You have to inform the kids Malik I really can't face them right now, how would I tell them their mother went missing and he couldn't bring her home?" This really made him feel weak, he knows his wife but this was really heartless of her, how will the children cope with her absence?

"The quadri are starting kindergarten tomorrow, will you leave the kids to school here?, Ikiris might not care but Dami will surely get annoyed since she already has a school, it would be better to tell them" the receptionist knocks and walks in with the wines then leaves

Justin downs the two glasses immediately" how are they?"

"They are fine but Ikiris has grown really quiet these days" he really doesn't know what's going on through that kid's head

"he must feel bored and lonely, he prefers his mother's company to any other, I'll go pick them up, the sooner they know and adjust, the better" saying this he stands up to go

"you've been welcoming and helpful these two weeks Malik, I am really grateful and for this the Gowa family owes you" he showed his gratitude

"what are friends for" Malik says with a fond smile.

(Back in the Yera's mansion)

Ikiris is seen climbing through a ladder to go over the back fence, 'I really have to go back home, Ceda is really a pain in my head' he doesn't like the fact that Ceda talks too much so all this while he had been planning his escape 'it's my house anyway so I'll just stay alone, Dami and Bali can stay here all they want since they are having fun, I don't need baby sitters to take care of me' he manages to cross over the fence, luckily there were flower pots placed on the other side, he walked a little further looking for a taxi and did not notice the man behind the trees,

He then saw a taxi and waved for it to stop, it stopped quite alright before he felt a shadow beside him, the man placed a cloth over his mouth and nose to cover it, Ikiris tried struggling but it was of no use with his little childlike strength and he passed out

"time to go Young Master Yera" said the man who carried him to the car back seat, it was really tough tracking them since they increased their security who would have known the little boy will deliver himself to them, the taxi left as fast as it came.

Few minutes later, a black Bentley arrived at the Yera's mansion and Justin walked out and into the mansion

"Nema, how are you today?" He greeted Nema who was in the living room with a little smile

"Justin, it really has be long since we saw or talked, any improvement?" She knew but still wanted to ask to show her concern, Justin sighs and shakes his head indicating a no

"where are the children, hope they were well behaved?, I am really sorry for the inconvenience" he knows how his children can be sometimes

"nothing I couldn't handle" she already has four kids with different personalities so she could handle three more

"where are they now?" He says while standing up for Nema to lead him.

They arrived at the guest room first where Dami was staying

"she refused to stay with Freda and requested to stay here so I allowed her to do what she wanted" Nema explained before they reached the guest room to avoid Ill thoughts, Justin just laughed a little

"anywhere is fine Nema as long as it isn't the streets" he understood why she explained herself but he did not see the need though but he was happy that she at least saw his children like her own.

When they arrived at the guest room they were greeted with the crying Dami

"what happened to you Dami," Nema went forward first she was surprised to see her crying pitifully she started observing her body thoroughly incase of any injury,

Dami who raised her head up saw her father and ran up to him and hugged his legs "daddy wahhhhh" she kept crying

"why are you crying Dami tell daddy what happened will you?" Justin knelt down to her level

"where is my mommy, is mommy not more with us?" She asked still crying, this question shocked both Nema and Justin

Justin looked at Nema who shake her head as if to say no, she was very sure she did not let that fact slip so how did Dami suspect anything?

"What are you saying Dami, stop crying let daddy hear you better" he tried to stop her crying first before dealing with the question, he did not know how she knew but he knew he had to make things clear, Dami stopped crying after a while and kept staring at her father pitifully

Justin sighed and carried her up to the bed so they both could sit down, Nema decided to leave the room to give them some privacy.

Dami had to ask again "daddy what happened to mom?" She heard Freda telling Jada that her mom wasn't around anymore so Aunt Nema had to take care of them now, she felt heart broken because she did not want someone else to take care of her she wanted her mother only

Justin took a deep breath then hugged his daughter and said while rubbing her hair dotingly "mommy went somewhere else so she can't come back now, we will have to wait for daddy to go and bring mommy home okay?" He says sadly, he knows she might think her mother is dead so he said "don't worry mother will still come back once day okay?" Dami just nods a yes

"where is your brother?" He hasn't seen Ikiris or Bali since he came, Dami just shakes her head to say no because she had been in the room since

Few seconds later Nema enters the room with a little panic

"is Ikiris here with you" she asks Justin

"I just asked about him he is not here" Justin answered with alarm

"just now I went to call the children over but I saw Bali asleep and Ikiris isn't in the house" she said confused, at this time Justin had already stood up

"did you check the garden and playroom?" He said while walking out hastily

"I did check the playroom but not the garden" she called a maid to check the garden "go check the garden for Ikiris" and orders the rest "all of you spread out and look for Ikiris"

some seconds later the maid she sent to the garden came back "he isn't in the garden Madam Yera, but I saw a ladder on the wall" the maid stated in fear

"he might have gone back to the mansion" Justin says and called his mansion "Gaius is Ikiris in the mansion?"

"No master Gowa" the butler answered back before the butler could continue Justin had cut the call

"is he in the mansion?" Nema asked she was already worried
