How do you feel now? Mrs. Lucas asked.
"I feel empty and light-headed," Bianca said weakly.
"Don't worry my dear. You will be fine" She said and she nodded.
How did I get here and who are you, people? She asked calmly.
"Uhmmm, we...." Alex said but he was interrupted by his mother.
Well, this is my daughter Maria and Alexander, my eldest son. He was the one who rescued you from the hideout, where you were kept. Thank Graciously he was there on time else, it would have been too late" Mrs. Lucas explained.
"Oh," she said calmly. What's today? She asked.
"Tuesday" Maria responded
So I've been unconscious for...
"3 days actually," Alexander said.
Huh? She opened her eyes wide in shock.
"Yes my dear but the most important thing is that you're fine now," Mrs. Lucas said and Bianca relaxed her nerves.
"Thank you for rescuing me sir," she said to Alexander.
"It's fine. Just call Alex" he smiled
Alright," she said.
Thank you, Ma'am and you too" she held Maria's hand.
"You're welcome," They both said with a smile on their faces.
So do you remember anything about yourself? Alex asked.
Yes. My name is Bianca Boris.
"Yeah, we know that already. You have been on the news for a couple of days now. We thought you needed to be awake first before we let anyone know of your whereabouts" Maria explained.
"Exactly my dear," Mrs. Lucas said.
"That's so thoughtful," Bianca said calmly.
Yeah.
"I need to call Mandy. I'm sure she should be worried sick by now" Bianca said with worries written all over her face.
Is that your sister? Maria asked
"Yes" she replied
"Alright then. You can use my phone" Alexander said stretching forth his phone to her.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
My dear, let me get you something to eat. Okay? Mrs. Lucas said dragging Maria along with her.
"Thank you," she said and Mrs. Lucas only smiled.
She dialed Mandy's number but it wasn't connecting. She tried several times but all to no avail.
Not connecting? He asked.
Yeah...
So what will you do now? He asked
"Okay, let me call Kingsley," she said.
Who is Kingsley? He asked politely but she only smiled and placed the phone on her ears.
....
I don't get it. Do you mean to say, that the company's document of ownership is missing? How??? Kingsley screamed.
I don't know how but I found out the day you weren't at the office and I needed to get something from your office. I know where the documents are kept but unfortunately, I didn't find them because I needed to have a look at them for reference to the new document for TDE that I was working on.
"I ransacked the whole drawer and files but I couldn't find them. The original copies were all gone" Dickson explained.
"Oh, Alicia, Oh Aliciaaaaaaaa" Kingsley roared like an angry lion.
What do we do now?
Did you check the CCTV camera in my office and that of the Verander? Kingsley asked.
"Yes, I did but nothing suspicious was found," Dickson said.
Then did those documents suddenly develop wings and fly? He yelled at him but Dickson couldn't find a better word to say.
I need everyone in the conference room tomorrow morning. Every damn single soul tomorrow. Do you hear me? He yelled.
"Yes, I do" Dickson replied.
Kingsley was panting heavily in anger.
"I need you to do me a favor," Kingsley said.
"Okay, spill" Dickson said but Kingsley was interrupted by the buzzing on his phone.
📞 Hello"
📞" It's me Bianca" Kingsley's heartbeat accelerated the moment he heard that familiar voice.
📞 Bianca? You're Alive? Where are you? Are you okay? Is...
📞 "Calm down, I'm fine," she said calmly.
📞 "Thank Goodness" he finally relaxed a little. Where are you right now? He inquired.
📞 "I'll text you the address now," She said.
📞 Alright. Right now and I'll come to get you" he said.
📞 Okay" she said and ended the call.
"She's Alive...She's Alive" Kingsley said repeatedly like he has had the best news for that day.
"Thank God," Dickson said.
*Phone beep*
.......
Where are my car keys? He said searching his couch, table, and everything.....
"It's right here brother," Dickson said giving him the keys he picked from his table.
"Good" he grabbed it from him and dashed out with Dickson right behind him.
......
So who is Kingsley? Alex asked.
"He's my boss and also a friend" she replied.
Oh okay.
Yeah.
So tell me, what happened? Who could have done that to you? Alex asked and Bianca suddenly had a flashback of Some parts of the memories that were blurred to her but what she could remember vividly was what transpired between the delivery guy and herself. Also, she remembers seeing Irys saying all sorts of things to her and how she was injected to paralyze her because of taking her man" she narrated everything to Alex.
So, you mean this lady did all of this to you because of a man? Alex asked angrily and she nodded.
Woow" He was flabbergasted.
Who is this man by the way?
"Kingsley, my boss" She replied.
"Wait hold on....woow, okay, I think we would talk about this some other time. I don't need to stress you out. I'll go check on mum to bring your food" He said and left her alone.
30minutes later...
Kingsley arrived at the address and rang on the door and it was Maria who went to get the door.
Hello," Kingsley said the moment she opened the door.
Hi
"My name is Kingsley and my brother Dickson and we're here to see Bianca. She called us " Kingsley said.
"Oh, You're the Kingsley. Please come in" She ushered them in with a smile.
"Come with me," she said and they followed.
"Hey," Kingsley rushed to her the moment he laid his eyes on her forgetting the rest of the people in the room with her.
How are you? What happened? Do.....
"I'm okay, all thanks to them," she said pointing at Maria and Mrs. Lucas.
"Pardon my manners" He apologized.
"It's okay son," she said
"Thank you so much. We do appreciate" Kingsley appreciated them.
"You're welcome. Thank Goodness my son was at the right place at the right time" She said.
Oh, that's great.
Please where is he? Kingsley asked.
"Oh, he was.....oh here he is" Alex walked in.
"Mr. Kingsley Douglas" Alexander called.
"Mr. Alexander" Kingsley called.
Wow, small world.
"I didn't know you were the Kingsley she was referring to," he said and Kingsley nodded
"Thank you so much," he said.
You're welcome.
They all talked about what happened to her and Mrs. Lucas advised Kingsley to look after her.
Thank you, ma'am. We'll be on our way now.
Alright.
"Thank you so much ma," Bianca said
You're welcome.
Thank you, Alex.
"It's fine. Please take care of yourself. I'll check up on you soon" He said and she nodded.
Dickson drove them home before returning to the office to inform Mandy.

"We still haven't found her Boss," One of the hoodlums that worked for Alicia said to her.
What nonsense are you both spewing? Huh? She yelled.
Boss.
Keep your stinky mouth shut. I paid you handsomely to carry out a simple task and you failed. What am I paying you for then? She asked.
We're sorry Boss. We'll find her ma.
"Mum, there is no way she could survive what happened to her so not finding her corpse wouldn't be more of a problem to worry yourself over," Irys said and Alicia finally calmed down.
"That's true but still, find her corpse. I need to be sure" Alicia said
"Yes boss," they said
"Get lost" She commanded and they bowed before leaving.
Mum??? Irys called the moment the boys had both left.
Yes, my dear.
"I'm worried and scared," she said
Why?
Your sons already suspect I have a hand in Bianca's disappearance.
Okay?
"Even if Kingsley doesn't do something drastic, I'm afraid Dickson will. You know how strong-headed he is" She explained.
Alicia smiled.
Why are you suddenly scared of Dickson? Didn't you both use to be an item? Doesn't he use to fuck you? Alicia asked with a smile on her face.
Ma...
Don't be surprised, my dear. I know everything. I know everything but you shouldn't worry, I will take care of them. Don't worry. You just keep up with your act and i'll handle the rest" Alicia said.
Okay, mum.
So what do you intend to do with the documents I got for you? Irys asked.
You shouldn't worry about that, okay? She gave her a cocky smile.
Okay, ma.
