Chapter 18 - CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Trouble?

BELLA'S P.O.V

I woke up very early to prepare my kids for school. I had already helped them bath. We were in their room, as I put on the socks for Jim while Jane insisted she could do it herself, but ended up wearing it upside down.

Mason had already gone to work, since he took over his dad's company. I didn't have work this week, so I had enough time for my kids.

After making sure everything was set, I went into my room, wore a casual outfit and took them downstairs. I had already packed their lunchbox so I just grabbed it as I headed to the parking lot.

The kids followed behind as they kept on arguing over who would seat in front this time.

I entered the driver's seat, and ordered both of them to go to the back since no one wanted to allow the other to seat in front. The two of them groggily obeyed.

I drove to their school, dropped them and headed to where I used to live..H.O.R mansion, which we renamed house of terror H.O.T.

I drove in, parked and alighted. Julie lived there now, all alone, so I chose to visit her.

I walked in. The place seemed to be empty, seems it was wrong timing. I called out her name thrice. Julie was not home. As I turned to leave, I felt something. This feeling that tells you, something's wrong I quickly shrugged the feeling and was about stepping out of the door when.....

JULIE'S P.O.V

I stayed at home, since there was nothing to do, I called Jordan. He picked on second ring.

"yea baby?".

"uh, please can you come over? Are you busy?".

"uh, baby am sorry, but I can't come right now. I'll come in the evening okay?". He said.

"Okay!". I replied and he hung up.

I quickly stood up, entered the bathroom, and took a shower. After that, I strode into my walk-in closet, ransacking the place for a cute outfit. As I finally found the one I needed, I turned to leave, but was met with a painful thrust in my stomach.

Blood oozed from my mouth, as I tried to look at the face of the person who just stabbed me. My visions were blurry, but I could see its a man. I slowly fell on my knees, as I clutched to my stomach.

ZARA'S P.O.V

It was a long day since I spent my time taking care of my not-so-little baby girl Sum. She was three years old.

And yea, I got preggy after that f*ck between Jeremy and I. We are currently married.

Since I worked online, I didn't need to go anywhere except going out to buy the groceries or visit my sisters.

"sum, eat!". I ordered as the girl had refused to eat the noodles.

"no mummy! Chocolate!". She replied, with folded arms.

"after eating, I'll give you chocolate, but if you don't eat, then no chocolate". I replied. She stared at me for a while, then opened her mouth. I quickly placed a spoonful of noodles in her mouth.

She seemed to like the taste as she swallowed faster and even took the spoon to feed herself.

"mummy, go get the chocolate!". She said, amidst eating.

I groaned. You couldn't even trick her.

"alright finish up before I come back!". I said, and entered the kitchen to get some chocolates from the cupboard.

When I came back, sum was gone.

'this silly kid'.I mused

"Sum!".I called oiyt, but there was no response.

"sum!".

"sum! I got you the chocolate". Still no response.

I checked the entire house, but she was no where to be seen. I ran to the gateman and asked him if any one came in, or if he saw Sum, but he said no one came in, and he hasn't seen Sum.

On hearing this, I slumped to the floor, crying. Then quickly, I rushed inside, picked up my phone and called Jeremy informing him that Sum was missing.

MASON'S P.O.V

It was a hectic day at work since we were accepting new interns.

After work, I headed hone, drove in and was welcome with silence. The house was surprisingly too quiet. Before, it was either Jane was making noise or Bella was outside waiting for him, or Jim, whichever.

I pulled out my phone and called my wife, but no one answered. I called again and again, but there was still mk response. Sighing deeply, I headed to the room, thinking they must have fallen asleep, but it was empty.

Okay! Now I'm worried. I drove to the H.O.T mansion since Julie wasn't also picking her calls.

On getting there, I noticed that bella's car was parked here. I immediately heaved a sigh of relief as I entered inside to scold her. It was already late, and here she was, and she wasn't even picking her calls.

The house was quiet. I called her name severally, but there was no response. I rushed upstairs, as I checked every room. On getting to Julie's room, I had this bad feeling as I opened the closet.

I almost screamed on seeing Julie's body lying there. I checked her pulse..

Jesus! She was dead, brutally stabbed if I must say, because Julie wouldn't kill herself would she?

And if yes why???

My head was a chaotic mess as I wondered what next to do, then I felt a presence.....
