Chapter 156

Jane and Christopher got home and as usual, Jane took Chris's bag from Jack

Immediately Maria saw Chris's hand she panicked, "son what happened to your hand?" she asked

"It's nothing serious Mom It's just a little cut," Chris said

"I will go to my room now and freshen up," he said went to his room to take a shower and change his clothes, Jane followed after him to help him pick out his clothes

Jack arrived home, he had never been this excited to return home as he is today he just couldn't keep cool or calm

He entered his apartment hoping to see the girl but she was nowhere to be found, maybe she was in the kitchen he thought

He searched for her in the kitchen, bathroom even the guest room that he had placed still she was not there, could it be that she went to get something to eat? he thought

He was about to leave the room when his eyes caught sight of something that looked like a note on the bed

He picked up the note and read the content

' Hey there Zack I wish that I could stay but I can't I don't want to put your life in danger, I'm off and you don't have to bother trying to look for me, and I'm sorry I stole your money and some other things bye"

That was all that was in the letter she didn't even put her name

"Damn," he said as he hurriedly drove out of his house and headed for the club where he met her last night

He got there but there was no sign of her, he even stayed there for hours but she did not turn up, he had no choice but to ask the barman

"Hey man good evening" he greeted

"Good evening boss, what would you like to order?" the barman asked him

"Just give me anything cool to drink," Jack said

"Okay I will attend to you shortly," the man said

After a while Jack was done with his drink, he didn't plan to order anything he just did that to gain the guy's attention

"Hmm I'm looking for a particular lady, she was here yesterday, she's not so tall" Jack gave the description of Cassie as much as he could but the guy was not getting it

"Boss, do you have a picture of her? It will be much easier that way" the barman said

"No I don't" Jack replied

"Well I'm sorry but there's much that I can do if you don't have a picture of the person that you are looking for many girls troop in here daily anyone can fit into what you are describing" the barman explained

"Thank you," Jack said and left the club; the guy was right. There was no way he could help him. Without a picture or something

Jack drove back home feeling all sad and frustrated, this was a girl he just met yesterday, and even though they'd met each other a couple of times before yesterday was the real one

He couldn't comprehend why he was feeling like this toward a stranger; it felt as though he had met her for ages, or could it be that because they had sex?

A lot of things were rushing through his mind at the moment

He got home hoping that he would still find her there but she was nowhere to be found

He went to the room where she had spent the night still no sigh of her, he went to the bathroom same thing but then he saw a bracelet, he picked it up

This must be for her and she must have forgotten it here, he wore the bracelet and they fit, he would continue to wear the bracelet he concluded

But he was also worried for her, some people seemed to be after her and she was on the run he just hoped that she would be safe

Cassie got to her room she lodged in a brothel instead, that way they would not find her easily, she knew how they worked the first thing they did was to check the hotels first before any other place

She took out her things and began to arrange them, she already paid for a week she would use the remaining money with her to feed, she hoped she could find a solution to her problem

She pulled her clothes and noticed that her bracelet was not on her wrist, she searched

her bag but still could not find it

She must have left it at Jack's place, her mind drifted to him, he must have gotten home by now and he must have also read the letter, she felt a pinch in her heart as she thought about how he must be feeling at the moment he must hate her for stealing his money

She was sorry but she had no choice

She took her bath, changed into her nightgown, and lay on the bed, she already had something to eat before coming so she was not hungry

She tried to think of a solution to her problem but she couldn't think her mind was clouded with thoughts of Jack, she couldn't explain what it was but she felt some kind of way towards him and she liked it

On the other side of town as well Jack also could not sleep he kept thinking about Cassie

It was a sleepless night for them both
