There was a commotion at the Soma's mansion, they had not set their eyes on their son for two days and his phone was unreachable.
This had never happened before, even though Max had his house he always dropped by for lunch, and his mum, Mrs Mitchell was having a bad feeling, that something was wrong.
She had decided to go visit him, 'maybe he's unwell', she thought. She had her fingers crossed all through the drive to her son's house.
On getting there, she knocked on the door, when no one responded she pushed it and it opened.
"What? The door is open?"
She ran inside the house searching for any trace of her son, but none was found, his bedroom was messed up as if a fight had happened there, there were dried blood stains on the bedding, shattered bottles on the floor and the bedside lamp was shattered too.
Mrs Mitchell's mind was in chaos, she didn't want to believe what her heart was telling her, but her eyes weren't lying, tears gushed out of her eyes as she wailed loudly, she knew that someone had taken him, she didn't want to believe they had murdered him, she hoped that they'll contact her if they were kidnappers, she prayed that was not assassin's.
She left the house looking miserable after crying her heart out in her son's house, she got into the car and told the driver to take her to a bar.
They arrived at the bar, she drank to her heart's content, she got tons and tons of calls from her husband but she didn't have to confidence to tell him anything, she hoped that it was all a bad dream that'll soon be over.
Mr Soma wasn't happy with his calls being ignored, so he dialled the driver's number and got their current address, he got into his car and gave his driver the address.
They soon arrived at the bar, and he saw his darling wife sitting alone drinking in a stupor, he was shocked, Mitchell was never an alcoholic, what could have caused this? she was going to meet her son earlier, what went wrong?
He slowly made his way to his wife and tapped on her shoulder, Mitchell looked up to see her doting husband right beside her, even though he had aged, his glittering dark skin made him look so youthful, his brown eyes were the loveliest, and he squatted and looked at her with concern.
"What's wrong?"
Her words got stuck in her throat as fresh waves of pain swept over her, she was losing everything, she put her arms around his neck and let it all out, and she cried uncontrollably.
Mr, Soma was a bit flustered, he hadn't expected her to cry in public, he patted her back and gave her time to calm down.
After minutes of silence, he was sure she had fallen asleep, he carefully lifted her and carried her to the car.

"Whose phone is that," Lyn asked rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm and yawning at the same time.
"Please turn it off" Natty begged "I want to sleep some more"
"It's your phone Natty"
"Answer it tell them am sleeping"
Lyn got up to get the phone, then she realized that it was dark, it was already evening.
"Oh no Natty, it's already past 7"
"So?" Natty asked half asleep.
"Have you forgotten your party? It starts at 8"
Natty was now wide awake, the guests were to arrive by 8 and the dinner would officially start by half past 8.
She sat up on the bed and realized that it was dark outside, she slammed her hand on her forehead.
"Holy shit, I forgot about the party, what are we going to do now
"The call is from the makeup artist and stylist, I think they are here"
"let me go look for them outside, you wake Lisa and you both go start cleaning up" Nat hurriedly ran out of the room.
"ok " she walked towards the bed and tapped her shoulders "Lisa, Lisa, wake up"
"what's the problem, Lyn," Lisa asked half asleep
"wake up Lisa, we're going to be late for the party"
"huh?"
"come on Lisa, Natty's welcome party is about to start"
Lisa's eyes flung open, her body moved swiftly, and she had things to do too "What time is it?"
"it's past 7"
"OMG where's Natty"
"She's downstairs, she went to meet the stylist and make-up artist, let go have a shower so they could start with us when she gets back with them"
"ok let's go then"
They both got into the bathroom, they hurriedly did their business and were out in their bathrobe, they heard voices in the living room and knew for sure that the artists were there, Natty soon came into the room.
"Lisa, Lyn you guys should wear your bikini's in your bathrobe and go meet the artists, I'll have my bath and come join you both" she opens the bathroom door "hurry there's no time" she half yelled.
The two reacted Instantly doing what Natty had told them, they ran to the living room, exchanged pleasantries with everyone and the artists went down to business.
Soon, Natty arrived to join them, the artists were quite fast, both ladies were pretty already so they didn't need much work.
"ma'am should I take out your lenses"
"Lyn, you wear lenses?" Natty asked with a surprised look.
"yh she does I just realized it last year, her eyes are lovely" Lisa butted in.
"Am so upset, why did nobody tell me, so those brown eyes are fake, take it off please I want to see her eyes, the real eyes"
"I can't go anywhere with my eyes, my mum says it's ugly and attracts unnecessary attention, so I have to cover them"
"Relax and stay still ma'am"
The make-up artist removed the contact lenses and everyone was awed, she had beautiful eyes, her emerald green eyes were the loveliest, but someone in the room was struck it all made sense now, it was her, Miera.
