Mella's Invitation

Patrick and Mama-Tina finally arrived at the Police station, And they sat down waiting until it got to their turn.

Mama-Tina checked in with the police inspector in charge of the missing child report, and the officer in charge said to her,

"Madam so far the suspect arrested had claimed they knew nothing about the disappearance of your daughter and her child, And we will have no other option than to grant them bail, Or do you suspect any other person that might be an enemy of your daughter?."

Mama-Tina shook her head not knowing what to replied, and she turned to Patrick looking disappointed too, as they sat across to the police officer in his office.

The police officer in charge stared to Patrick, and he could tell the baby he had seen on photo, somehow resembled Patrick sitting across to him

Although it seemed to him like he knew Patrick from somewhere, but he couldn't remembered and so he asked Patrick,

"Are you the husband of the missing lady and her child?."

Patrick looked at the officer and he blinked and replied,

"Yes I am, but we haven't gotten married yet."

"Hmm, Do you suspect anyone to be an enemy to your wife-to-be?" The police officer asked Patrick, still wondering where he had seen Patrick's face before.

"Not really Officer, I do not suspect anyone, as I don't live in this Village," Patrick replied with a frowned but the officer still persist.

"Why not think properly if you can remember anyone that seemed or acted jealous, knowing you and the said missing lady are in an affair?" The police officer questioned further and Patrick sighed as he tried to think, raking his short black hair and he replied,

"Well obviously officer, There's only one person I can think of. But I don't think she will go as far as hurting Tina nor my child. Besides we do chat, but I don't know if she can do anything as these."

Patrick was still in doubt if Amanda could did such a thing as harming Tina out of jealousy, and he heard the Police Officer replied,

"Then she's also a suspect, As what's her name and where does she stay?. You know some of these young ladies can go as far as hurting eachother out of jealousy."

"Hmm.." Patrick frowned.

The Police Officer and Patrick finally left to Ama's mother restaurant, And luckily for them, Amanda was around and she was arrested.

Amanda was stunned to seeing Patrick and more shocked to seeing the police officers arresting her

Amanda stared at Patrick in shocked and she asked him,

"What's going on Patrick, when did you return?."

"Young lady will you keep quiet, Are you Miss Amanda by name?," The Police Officer asked and Ama replied,

"Yes, Am Amanda Officer, Any problem?."

Amanda was embarrassed and the Officer replied her,

"Well yes, As you're under arrest, for the disappearance of a young lady named Tina praise together with her son."

Amanda jaw dropped and she looked at Patrick with questioning eyes, as to what was going on.

"What's going on PATRICK?!" Amanda immediately asked Patrick but he stared away, still hurting not seeing Tina and his child, while the police officer replied to Amanda,

"You have the legal right to remain quiet because anything you say here or do, will be used against you in the court of law."

"Officers you can't be serious, I don't know anything about Tina," Amanda struggled to said, as the police officers handcuff her and dragged her away to their car.

"Shut up young lady and get in" The Police officer ordered Amanda whom got into the car, and they drove off with her, while most people around and in Ama's mother restaurant stared in surprised, as Ama's mom wasn't around and they continued questioning themselves what was going on.

Chris went to saw Mella in her home again, as she has been calling him to come see her, since he was still on leave.

Chris had lied to Mella that he travelled but Mella told him that she didn't believed that he travelled, asking Chris to gave her his home address, that she really wanted to paid him a visit, as it was important.

Chris frowned, as he knew if he continued lying to Mella, that he travelled to his village, Mella would probably trace his home from the address he had submitted to her father's company, As she was so obsessed to seeing him, and he didn't wanted Tina to knew of Mella either.

Chris regretted having anything to do with Mella in the first place, And so he finally agreed that he would went to saw her.

Chris arrived at Mella's apartment and stood outside, not wanting to entered inside and Mella rushed out to him and gave him a hug, smiling sweetly to him.

"Good afternoon Chris," Mella smiled as she was still hugging Chris and she stared to his face and asked,

"Don't you miss me Chris?."

Mella was putting on a little tight, and a small crop-top that brought out all her curvy shape, And Chris sighed deeply seeing how hot and beautiful Mella looked, making him to remembered their previous hot night together.

"Good day Mella, Sure I missed you, but tell my why must we meet at your house?, Can't we meet outside or in a restaurant?," Chris asked, staring away from Mella as he tried to pulled away from Mella hugging him, but Mella frowned and she said,

"Seems like you ain't happy to seeing me, I just wanted us to celebrate."

Mella looked hurt and Chris finally stared to her and asked,

"Celebrate what Mella?."

"Well, my father has officially handover the company to me, So am now the new CEO of  Steral Cosmetic and Pharmaceuticals now," Mella beamed, jumping up happily and Chris stared at her with a smile, and he replied, "Congratulations."

"Is that all you can tell me Chris?," Mella frowned asking him, and it got to Chris that he didn't like how she suddenly became sad.

Mella hit his soft spot and Chris didn't knew why he should care if she was happy or not, but seeing her frowned, made him cared for her

"Fine what do you want me to do for you?," Chris finally asked her, like one asking his boss, And Mella hit his chest gently looking at him seductively, and she said,

"Come in Chris, I prepared your favorite."

"My favorite, How do you know my favorite?," Chris asked her, but Mella smiled to him and held his hand fondly, as she bit on her lower lips and ushered him inside her parlour, as they were both standing outside since had Chris arrived her home..

Getting into Mella parlour, She already arranged a plate of pepper-soup and wines, And when Chris saw this, The memories of all they did the last time came rushing through his thought, and Chris stopped, not wanting to took a seat.

"Why Mella?, Why do you invite me over?. Don't you have a boyfriend?", Chris questioned her, and Mella immediately replied,

"I don't have any boyfriend Chris, Or have you seen me with any guy before?.. The last guy I dated broke my heart, and left me for someone else, simple because i refused to give him have of my father's wealth."

"What!" Chris gasped, feeling pitiful for Mella.

"Why would he request such a thing from you, Is it because he knows , you are your father's favorite child or what?," Chris asked, her feeling pitiful for her, As he remembered how he was duped too by his past two girlfriend, and Mella began to sobbed.

Chris heart was touched, and he drew closer to her and said,

"It okay Mella, but you can still have another boyfriend and move on," Chris tried to advised her but Mella replied,

"No Chris. No one wants me.. They all want my father's wealth and not me," Mella started crying seriously and Chris sighed, thinking, What as he gotten himself into?.

On a day like this, that Mella was supposed to be happy, and celebrating her promotion as the new CEO of her father's company, She wasn't supposed to cry. So chris drew her closer to himself, for a hug and pet her to stopped crying, and he wiped her tears and said, "Everything will be alright."
