Chereads / The Bride's Replacement / Chapter 15 - Getting lost

Chapter 15 - Getting lost

She applied oil and got dressed so that she could go attend on her innocent tummy but little did she know that she would have a whole exam to attend to while finding her way downstairs.

After the quite a long search of coming up with what to wear, Calista settled on a black baggy short that hardly got to her knees and a white tank top.She combed up her obsidian black hair and tied it in a loose bun. Her hair was too long but she really loved it that way.

The memories of her sister came as she tied up her hair.

"You know what baby...I wished I had black hair and long as yours.Trust me I would make sure the whole world knows of my hair,"she used to joke whenever she helped her make her hair.

"No wonder you do not have such long hair because even the world news are not interested in such stories..."Calista joked as well while teasing her.

Izara would hit her head playfully when she said that they she would giggle...but that was then.

Calista chuckled at the memory but a sad smile was on her face. She really missed her dearest sister.She wondered if she had contacted anyone and said she was just fine and they needed not to worry...

Her tummy grumbled again,this time,much more louder.She pushed away the thoughts that almost brought tears in her eyes and walked to the shoe rack and picked white but fluffy flip flops.

She quickly looked at her self on the mirror.When she was satisfied with how she looked,she walked to the door.A wave of confusion took over her when she stepped out of the door.Her room was actually at the furthest corner and the only way after it led to the balcony.

She took a step forward and saw another door. She did not know who occupied that room but atleast she could try her luck. She walked towards it but too bad it was locked.She walked further until she found stairs heading down.

Just like a little innocent lamb,she followed it in a bit of a rush.

She followed the stairs but she ended up on another floor but definitely not downstairs.She kept walking not knowing she had left the right way behind her.She found another staircase before her and she followed.The stairs were so long that she almost gave up but the beautiful designs on the walls kept her moving.

"Oh Lord,I guess am going to keep on walking and walking without even knowing my destination...are all the rich men having such huge houses?"she kept musing in anger.

After such a long self tour, Calista arrived before a huge door.It was transparent in color and had drawings on it.

The drawings were very attractive.It was a drawing of feathers...lots and lots of feathers that made a huge love shape.They looked so beautiful and attractive with most of the feathers possessing a white color.

She really wanted to look more into it but her tummy would not allow it. She had been starved just to fit well in her wedding saree since Izara was not as curvy as she was. She was a bit skinny. And she had also not even had a glass of water since her wedding took place.

At the huge dining room, Maverick sat waiting for Calista.He would have continued but they had to discuss some important things as they ate.

He opened the news paper in his hand.He had already read the first page,it was politics then business. He was as usual on the business page as the most successful business man...and supper rich.

The other page attracted his attention...

The headline read, IS ANGEL C.S MISSING?

Then the second,ANGEL C.S HAS LOST HER POSITION IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AFTER GOING BACK HOME WITHOUT STATING WHY SHE HAD TO AND HAD BEEN OFF EVER SINCE...

Maverick looked at the photos of the so called Angel C.S. He had sent his secretary to fingmd out more about her but here he was getting the information before his secretary could.

"A musician!?...a top one for that matter!... impressive,"he mummered silently.

This girl had sacrificed her carrier for her family...he wondered.He looked at the photos and his heartbeat adjusted...

She is too beautiful....

The door was ajar hence Calista stepped out of the building without much troubles. As soon as she stepped out,her senses were met by something that she did not get too along with.

It seems it was a flower garden. There were lots of flowers of different kinds and the smell of them hit her nose hard making her sneeze.

We can say that Calista is such a unique or a wired human.First,she has two eye conditions though one is not such a big deal. She has four pupils in total. Both her eyes have an extra pupil making her put on light reducing or tinted googles.

Second, her eyes are abit squinted but that was not easily noticed by many people...and third,she has allergies. She is allergic to pollen grain,dust, strong scent and sea foods but only prawns.

But...she is just so adorable, beautiful and curvy and awesome hair. Gorgeous eye color and the most beautiful legs and her voice.....

Back at the dining table, Maverick irritatedly called after Liz,the only cook.He had been waiting for his fake wife for almost an hour but she was not there yet.

He was starving and bored of reading the newspaper...

"Yes dear..."Liz answered ready to serve him.

"I asked you to fetch your madam..."he calmly spoke. Maverick might be quite a bitter guy and so impatient but that did not mean he had forgotten his manners.He respected Liz very much given her age and her hard work.

"I did dear but she was freshening up and she said she would be down soon..."the woman responded without flinching. She had been working for Maverick for nine years now so she did not fear him as most of the workers did.

Maverick looked at Liz not believing he was hearing that from her...she really needed to retire.

The girl was as new as dawn so how on earth would she know her way downstairs?...with this complicating house of his.

"You know she just got here yesterday night so how would she know her way down?..."Maverick asked getting more annoyed.

Liz was silent for a second...that had skipped her mind very badly.

"I will go bring her downstairs dear..."she spoke and left before he could say anything.She quickly rushed upstairs.She was old but atleast her small body frame helped her.

Got to the room within five minutes but she was surprised to see the room empty.She had not come across her at the stairs so where on earth would she be?

The bathroom...there was no one there as well.

She had to walk back downstairs and tell her boss that she was missing....but how would she get lost in the same mansion.

At the floral garden, Calista kept on sneezing.She felt dizzy and she had to support herself with the wall as she walked.She could tell that she was at the back yard...atleast she was not that lost.

She felt her head spin and the sneezing got worse as the heavy scents of flowers continued hitting her nose.

"Aaaaaaachhhhhhh!"she kept on sneezing.

Maverick looked at the old lady.If it were any other worker,he would have scolded them for being so incompetent but he did not...

Despite his calmness that he wore,he was actually very worried. He felt his heart palpitating anxiously.

He was afraid she would have ran away from here but that was so impossible...she was too knew to even know the way out and the security is too high...

He closed the newspaper and fetched his phone from the pocket. He went through the cctv cams instilled in his house.

Cam 27,he saw Calista walking downstairs towards the backyard.

"What is she even doing there?...Is she that dump that she cannot find her way downstairs?"he muttered silently but what he saw in the next cam made him stand still from the chair.

He silently watched her as she slowly walked supporting herself with the wall.Suddenly,she slid or maybe missed a step and she fell on the floor, sitting with a thud...

The sneezing was worsening and it made her breathing shortened.She was gasping for air yet the sneezing was not stopping.

Maverick waited for her to stand but she did not.Fear gripped him,he ran out of the building leaving Liz shocked.

She had not seen her boss this shocked...

In nit more than two minutes,he was kneeling beside the girl who was now closing her eyes lightly.

She had collapsed.
