My One And Only

I drove to Wilson’s main residency and saw my men standing by the ally. Carlos gave me a nod.

Giving a quick glance, I entered inside the main gate and the watchman walked towards to park the car as I got out to get in the house.

As usual, the butler led me in. I had my eyes everywhere, watching out for any clue that Tinsley might have left for me.

I never bothered to look around the place whenever I visited Valeria but this time I did.

I grew up here and I had a clear knowledge of every nook and corner of the house.

“To what do I owe your visit after walking away like a crazy person, threatening my guest??”

I was bought out of my reverie when I heard her. I looked forward to seeing Valeria standing on the last stair.

I knew how shrewd and clever person my aunt was. She always had the wits to know what a person might be thinking inside their heads.

I had watched her things out like that. When I was a kid, I used to think she was a magician but well later I came to know, she was a psychologist in the profession and then it made sense.

So I tried to mask my anxious face as disturbing as possible to hide my real self and make her believe the one I was showing to get willingly.

“Tinsley is not in the condo.”

I said, looking down, pretending as if I did not know she had kept Tinsley here forcefully.

I wanted to see how she would react to the news. If she would show any kind of clues or she would act as if she had no idea or whatsoever.

“My my!!! What did you just say??”

I always knew my aunt was not a good person. She was kind to those who could benefit her and unkind to those who posed a threat to her.

And today, I got to see that face of her. I never thought to judge her in any of her actions…wrong or right but this time, she had earned a score of less from me.

“When did this happen??”

She asked, walking up to me. If I had not known that it was her who held Tinsley against her will, looking at how she was behaving, I would have thought she had nothing to do with any of these.

“I…uhh.. got the news a while ago. ”

I replied, looking straight into her eyes trying to see if she would even flutter her eyes at least once while lying straight to my face. But no…she did not…not even once.

“Did she leave any kind of clue??”

“She took a few clothes and a bag.”

I said and moved to the side not being able to stand under the same roof as a lier…a good one at that. My own aunt!

“Well then maybe…maybe she escaped, Kian. I always told you from the start, she was only there with you for help..”

She spoke out after a moment of silence. I was so controlling myself from lashing out at her but handled my anger right inside me.

It was how Madison and I had planned it to be. While I was keeping Valeria busy talking to me, I had Madison sneak out of the parked car in the garage, to enter the mansion through the back and look out for Tinsley.

I specifically asked her to go down the attic. It only made sense that Valeria would keep Tinsley there.

Madison did not need to get Tinsley but if she found her, at least she could deliver Tinsley a message that I was on my way to get her…. that I was coming soon and to have faith before she decided to try something wrong.

“No…she would never do that. Tell me if Josh got her and you know??”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

I was direct to ask her that and it was only at that moment, she flinched back a little. So finally!! I thought.

She closed her eyes before opening them to answer to me.

“Mr Harrington left after the punch you gave him. He was furious, yes but I would not know if he would go to that length to get a girl of no value to him.”

“Oh!! If she had been no value to him, he could have simply let her go but he cannot…”

I bitterly asserted, glaring at Valeria for poorly addressing Tinsley as if she had no value.

Only those who knew her saw her up close would know how much special she was…how much pure and innocent her soul was.

“The thing is if such thing would have been in my knowledge, I would never hide it from you, nephew.”

She elaborated, putting a hand on my bicep. I closed my eyes trying to calm my nerves down and not scream at her face.

I nodded towards her and got out of her hold. I waited a few seconds to get any kind of message from Madison but when I did not, I knew that she must have not found anything.

And I was ready to head out as per the plan. Madison would not go any deeper as getting herself caught would make Tinsley’s position riskier.

We decided that if in ten minutes timing, she could not find a thing, she would need to come back to the car and we would drive off.

And it was of ten minutes already. So it was time to go. But then, I got a beep on my digital watch, it was a signal.

That made me the most happiest ever I had been in the day. My back was facing Valeria and me was thankful as she could have seen the genuine smile on my face.

‘I FOUND HER!!!’

The message read and I could not stop the feeling is elation I was experiencing at that moment. I composed myself and turned to face my aunt back.

“Can I stay back for lunch here??”
