Father's Fear

Later that evening, after they had dinner, still there was no traces of Ashley found and Lexi hadn't returned either, while Mr Dot knew how stubborn Ashley was and has always been behaving like a guy, even though she was a very pretty young lady, with her hourglass shape, much prettier than Jane, yet she proof so stubborn and tried to prove to him, that she can be the son that he never had.

He watched Ashley trained hard like a man, and behaved like a tomboy, and he blamed himself for it, as he clearly remembered the day that he had spoken to her about marrying Dave too, and she bluntly refused, yelling at him, and telling him to will his company over to her instead. And he knew if he did that, Then he wouldn't be able to controlled her again.

Mr Dot finally stood up from the dinning seat, after his dinner with Jane and he went back upstairs to his room to rest for the night.

-------

Lexi drove out to search for Ashley, as he knew how stubborn she was and wondered where she might have secretly gone too, without any of the guards noticing when she left the mansion. He went to her BFF house first, as he knew that was her favorite place to be. And reaching there, he searched the whole house for her, even as her friends told him that she wasn't there, and he ended up apologizing to them as he didn't saw her either.

Lexi sighed and drove back home as it was already late and dark, and he decided to continued with his search for Ashley the following day, using both her identity cards and trackers to see where she might have gone too, as her phone was ringing and she wasn't picking it up either.

Getting back home to his boss mansion, Lexi parked his car and was informed by Jane, that her father had gone to sleep, as Lexi stepped into the living room and walked back upstairs to his own room in the mansion too, as the rest of their men guarding the mansion, had a separated apartment away from the main mansion, which was the guard house that was closer to the gate, while he lived inside the duplex with them.

The following morning, Mr Dot Kones summoned Lexi into his private office upstairs, in his executive mansion and he asked Lexi, "Did you find her?."

"No boss, I have tracked her phone and found it in her room, as she didn't took it along with her" Lexi faintly replied.

"Hmm..." Mr Dot Kones frowned, as his eyebrows automatically furrowed.

"What do you think we should do now? I have already informed Dave about his date with her this weekend. What will I tell him now? That his fiancee is missing?" Mr Dot Kones questioned out, and Lexi remained quiet for a while.

After a while, Lexi spoked, "Boss, I think we should inform them, as that will be the best thing to do for now. So they can also help us to search for Ashley on time, using her photos and trackers too."

Lexi suggested as he was Dave's friend and Mr Dot sighed.

"Hmm.. You're right. You should go to them and inform them about it. You can leave" Mr Dot Kones dismissed Lexi, whom stood up and left his office, While Mr Dot stood up next and walked over to his fridge, in his private office to serve himself a drink to calm his raging nerves.

Opening the fridge, Mr Dot took out his favorite wine and poured it out into the glass cup, he was holding. And he placed it on his table, as it was his favorite wine drink, that he used to drank with his late wife named Florence Kones, when she was still alive, and was a lover of wine too, a hot beauty model.

He shook his head, as he thought about his late wife for a while, remembering what happened to her and how she was ràped and killed in his mansion, while he was away and he sighed and walked back and sat on his executive office home seat, to enjoy the wine alone.

Just then, Jane knocked and pushed his office door open, as she stepped in.

"Good morning father" Jane greeted, as she entered into his office, and sat on the opposite seat across to him.

"Welcome Jane, have you seen or spoken to your sister yet on phone?" Mr Dot asked, while Jane shook her head, as she hadn't spoken to Ashley.

"No father, not yet" Jane responded, and Mr Dot frowned, removing the glass cup he was holding, away from his lips and he placed it on the table in front of him, and he stared up to Jane and asked, "What wrong did I do by insisting that your sister have to marry?. She cannot continue to remain single, as she have to give me a grand child whom will probably become the heir to my empire, as she's my first daughter knowing I have no biological son except Lexi."

Jane sighed, leaning on the table a little and she replied, "Father, you know Ashley isn't interested in men and the more reason she trained herself hard like a man, doing a lot of resistance training exercises and fighting lessons. As she believes she can protect herself and doesn't need a man to protect her."

"Hmm, Ashley will always be a woman, no matter how hard she train herself to become. She can never be a man, and will definitely need a man's protection someday. You know the nature of my business and why I assigned Lexi and the rest of the boys to protect you and her whenever am not around, I just want her to be save and fine, knowing is only you that am to worry about for now, until you find a husband too." Mr Dot stated and Jane frowned immediately, as she heard her father mentioned 'husband'.

Jane was a model, and she want to become an actress too, as obviously, she knew Ashley has rejected a lot of men and has even beaten some men that dared to touched her nor tried to stop her on the way.

Ashley has openly rejected both marriage and relationship advance from men, while she too hasn't been lucky to find any serious man either, as she was into acting and an upcoming actress.

Ashley was 24yrs , while she's 22yrs. And she shook her head and spoked to her father, "Father, I don't think is right to force Ashley into marriage. What if she ends up beating the man that you have chosen for her?."

"That's why I have choose Dave, As his strong and I think he can handle her" Mr Dot Kones replied, and Jane shook her head again and said, "I don't know him father, and I haven't meet with him before. Even when you used to hosted the Harry family, or took us to their home. I haven't seen him, or anyone named Dave before."

"I know. And that's because his mother isn't Mrs Jeff. He's Mr Jeff late mistress's son" Mr Dot Kones replied as he took another sip from his glass cup of wine, remembering the past of time..

"But why will you choose Dave to marry Ashley, if he isn't Mr Jeff direct son, why not Thomas or Luke?." Jane asked.

"That's because his the new boss and more clever to handle your sister. Thomas, Luke and the rest are soft and cannot handle Ashley and i know this" Mr Dot replied.

"Hmm, but Dave doesn't have a share in his father's wealth, Thomas would have been better, and Ashley has once told me before, when we were younger, that she likes Thomas. And probably she might agree to marry Thomas now, if you cancel the arrange marriage with Dave." Jane added.

"No!" Mr Dot Kones face turned serious, and he responded, "Thomas is a womanizer, as he keeps a lot of girlfriend too, and I don't want Ashley for him, except she still insist on him, then I can probably change my mind about it, and cancel the arrange proposal with Dave. But you should let her know that Thomas is a womanizer."

"Okay father" Jane sighed heavily, and swallowed back all she wanted to said, as she knew that she has also seen some scandalous report about Thomas Harry,, Whom was the CEO of White Copper Entertainment House. And she even want to be an actress under his entertainment house, and had submitted an auditioning letter to his firm, and she gulped, and stood up to exit her father's office, going back to her room to browse and research about Thomas, as she want to work with him.

Mr Dot Kones sighed after his second daughter left his office. And he decided to wait for Lexi to return, as Lexi had left to inform the black mafia, about Ashley disappearance and to also disbursed some of her photos to them to help in searching for her.

---------

Ashley sat on the floor stretching her long slender and beautiful legs in her cage room, as she tried loosing the chains off on her legs, so she could properly stretched her legs upwards and doing more training exercise, but the chains were to strong to broke lose easily.

She had tried pulling the lock to broke it away, but still it couldn't.

When the guard stationed and assigned to guard her room came in and brought her evening food towards her, she poured it away and refused to ate it.

"Take this stupid food away from me! Am not gonna eat it, except you lose the chains off from my legs!" Ashley pointed to her chained legs, even though she could managed and use it to go to the restroom to ease herself, as she had a restroom in her cage room, but the stationed guard named Aaron Benjamin quickly replied her, "I cannot lose it madam, except boss asked me too."

Aaron turned and quickly went out of the cage room, before locking the cage room door, and staring at Ashley from outside. While Ashley frowned and stared at him angrily, as she refused to ate her breakfast, lunch and even supper given to her, as the night fell.

Ashley has been locked for three days, ever since she was caught and dragged into their secret black temple, she knew her father would soon be searching for her, once he noticed about her absence in the mansion.

Ashley thought about her sister, whom she hadn't informed about her whereabouts, as she left her phone in her room, and quickly sneaked out of their mansion. And she got annoyed, thinking about her family worrying about her, and she picked up the plate beside her, and smashed it to pieces on the floor, surprising Aaron who was still staring at her. As she smashed the breakable plate, and she used the piece to try to unlock her legs padlock, while Aaron stared at her in shock.

Aaron got worried, if he should approached her to collected it, but he thought, she might hurt him or injured him with it. And so, he quickly rushed to Dave's private chamber, to inform him about her new behavior and refusal to ate, since the previous day, Dave lastly checked up on her..

Reaching Dave's private chamber, Aaron knocked on the door and got inside quickly, as it was their norm to go into the room without waiting for the room occupant to replied to them come in, or to open the door first either..

Dave just finished taking his bath, and he tied his towel around his waist in his room, as he turned to pick up his wears, and he saw Aaron bumped into his room closing the door behind him.

"What's wrong?," Dave asked Aaron whom tried to catch his breathing in front of him.

"Boss, is the new female prisoner you assigned to me to watch. She want to injure herself, and has broken the plate of food given to her." Aaron informed.

"Hmm..." Dave frowned.

"Haven't I told you guys to quit using breakable plates here. Go back to your position, I doubt she would want to harm herself. And leave her to me, I will come and see her now" Dave dismissed Aaron whom nodded and left.

Dave held a smirked on his face, as he doubt Ashley would want to damaged her beautiful yellow skin.

Dave quickly wore back his trouser and singlet top, and he stepped out of his room, going to the cage room to saw her first.

As he cornered thru the corridor leading to the cage rooms, Dave saw Mark approaching, whom immediately followed him from behind, as Mark knew he was going to see the new captive.

Dave approached her cage room door, and saw the mess that she has created. As she sat quietly holding the breakable plates pieces in her hand and staring to him coldly.

Aaron approached the cage door and pulled it opened, while Dave walked in first, as he approached her.

Ashley immediately stared away from Dave as she was still annoyed, while Mark stood by the door watching them, and waiting for his boss to tortured her..

Dave drew closer to Ashley, not minding she was holding the broken plate pieces, and he squatted in front of her, and stared to her pretty calm face, and she turned to meet his handsome gazed, so closer to her view, as they stared into each other's face.

{Hmph.. She still look this beautiful, even as she hasn't yet taken her bath}Dave wondered, as he admired Ashley's pretty yellow face again, while Ashley frowned seeing him smile at her, and she stared away to Mark, whom was still standing at the door, and glaring at her.

Ashley would admitted Dave was handsome, and good looking in his singlet top and trouser, but she wouldn't marry him.

So she bit on her lower lip in anger and shook her head to wave off any silly fantasy thought that she was beginning to have about Dave, as she didn't wanted to marry him, or be controlled by any man at all either.
