Today I had planned I would speak to Kath until I realized I made a mistake, I didn't know where she lived, and neither did I have her contact. I wanted to ask Seb for it at the event while we all stood outside but when she left him behind; he ran after her and left.
Here we are, my friends and I at my parents' house thinking of how we can locate her. Ethan wanted to hire a PI 'private investigator' but that would take days and if he found them then maybe they would have left and gone back to the UK and I wanted to settle this here.
"How about we file a missing person report and announce it to the media and let the people help us find her, it will be easy," Ethan said,
Next to him was Tyson, who was furiously nodding his head indicating that he agreed with what his brother said,
"Are you two seriously this stupid, why would I do that? I'm honestly surprised that your family company is still standing with you two in charge"
I turned to Luke to see if he had an idea and he immediately spoke, please let this be good and helpful
"Your father knows Mr. Anderson right?" He asked. I nodded as I had no clue as to what he was pointing at but still listened
"Why don't we ask him if he knows where he lives while he stays here, maybe he has his address?" then sat back taking a sip of his coffee.
"You my friend, are a genius," I said while running towards the study to ask father if he could help us, we were lucky as he did know a few addresses.
"Damn Earl when you said your father knew a few and he would bring it to us I didn't think it would be this many, this is too much. How are we supposed to find them, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack" said Tyson
When father told me to go to the living room and wait for him to look and write down the addresses I thought it would be two or three but not seven addresses. Honestly, how are we supposed to go over all these addresses, I sighed.
"What is this man doing with all these houses, four penthouses and three mansions he's insane." Tyson went on ranting
We finally decided to start with the penthouses as it was easy since we could call the receptionist and they would be able to inform us if it was occupied or not. Since there were four of us each called the receptionists and the answers were the same, none of the homes were occupied.
"So none of the 4 penthouses are occupied, we are left with the three mansions. How about we split up and check them out" I said to the guys.
"Why don't we check this house, its location is away from the public and secure compared to the other two. So why not start with that"
We all turned to Ethan, I don't know why he decided that but we were not convinced with his plan so we all remained quiet until he spoke again.
"Are you all going to keep on staring at me? We should be on the road; we don't have time to waste."
He said while getting up, Luke and I shared a look as the brothers walked out and we immediately followed them, I don't know why.
"We're actually going with his idea?"
I looked at Luke and nodded yes, right now they were already in the car and when Ethan decides on a plan, he stands firm on it and no one can change his idea, not even his own brother or parents.
We drove out the compound, the brothers in one car while Luke and I left in the other while we drove to the address. After a 30 minute drive, we were at the compound and thank God the guard knew father when I mentioned discussing a business deal, which was more of lying he allowed us in, Luke and I just shared a look.
The house was magnificent and the compound was well kept, as we walked towards the door we noticed it was open and the house helps, I think, we're all looking at something.
"What is happening?" Ethan asked. We just ignored him, if he could tell we all arrived here together so we are all on the same page.
We were now at the door, more like inside the house. I scanned the house for a certain someone and there she was sitting on the last steps with our son eating ice cream enjoying whatever was going on.
"Did you forget you called me old too? Or you just chose to ignore that,"
I heard Mr. Anderson speak and when I turned toward the voice that's when I noticed the father-son duo screaming at each other.
"I did not forget that as it was and is still true, you are old"
Turning to Luke he had an amused face while the two brothers were trying so hard to hold in their laughs, the way Sebastian was shielding himself from his father behind the couch one could see how scared he was of the man.
I then noticed the man holding a vase in his hand please tell me he is not planning on throwing it at him. I guess my friends also noticed that.
"Is he seriously going to throw that at him" Tyson whispered
"I don't think so maybe he's trying to scare him, no father would want to hurt his own son" I answered him
"I hope he does because the only thing we're missing is a bowl of popcorns and drinks for the show" Ty spoke.
Well, the doubts and ifs were cleared when we heard Seb scream, the fact was Mr. Anderson did throw the vase at him with no remorse on his face.
"What the... are you trying to kill me, what kind of a father are you"
That was the last straw for everyone present as they finally laughed.
"Dammit, father you could have ruined my beautiful face. Evil man"
I felt a certain someone's stare on me and that's when I noticed everyone had left leaving just us, the father, son, Kyle and Kathleen. The room eventually grew silent and the stares we received were so intense that I almost shit on my pants.
I then saw Kathleen whisper something in the boys' ear and he nodded, getting up he disappeared up the stairs, going to his room I guess.
"Welcome everyone, come in," suddenly Seb spoke ending the silence.
Ethan and Tyson were the first in, they shook hands with Seb and Mr. Anderson and they took a seat.
"What are you doing here and how did you know where we live?" Kathleen finally spoke and she looked really angry but before I could speak I was cut off.
"Come on Kath, they are guests. Don't be a mean host, please send for someone to get them drinks."
"Seb I swear I will beat you up. I will aim a vase at you and unlike father, I will not miss"
"Why is everyone ganging up on me, I'm only trying to be friendly. Father control her or better yet hit her with a vase instead maybe her attitude will vanish with the little damage she gets on her"
Okay, this is way more entertaining, I can tell my friends agreed since Ethan had his phone out and I think he was recording the whole thing. As usual Luke was his stoic self but the guy was having fun.
She suddenly charged towards him but before she could get to him she was held back by her father
"Father let me go. I will kill him today; I told you he was useless"
"Me, useless. What about you frog?"
Now we were all laughing this was so fun the way Seb hid every time Kath almost slipped from her father's grip or when she would throw anything she could find was fun.
"Seb just shut up already and leave, I am not done with you yet. You are lucky I am holding her right now. Kyle come and take your uncle from here"
Kyle came out of nowhere and pulled his uncle away from his mother who looked like she wanted to really kill him. I guess he was watching all this because he had this big smile on his face. He finally let go of Kath he kept glaring to where Seb disappeared towards.
"Sorry for that, so if I may ask why are you here," he asked
"Well, Mr. Anderson I am here to speak to your daughter, if you may allow me," I spoke
Then some maids came towards us to offer us some drinks to which we accepted, all this while Kathleen remained standing.
"Dear, why don't you have a sit" she just shook her head no and turned to leave but before she left I took her hands.
She refused to speak to me after asking several times and I think Mr. Anderson sympathized with me because she listened to him instead though she did give her father a disapproving look.
She then led me to her father's study room...
