Chapter 187

They were still talking in the room, after the sweet love they just made, when Peter's phone rang, he didn't want to take the call, left to him, he wanted to just lazy around with his wife and pamper her till she sleeps, but when he saw that it was his father calling, he had to take it immediately. He knew he had no choice, he took on look at the scar on her face again, hating himself the more.

His father must have been furious, that he just left.

Thinking he was calling to pour out his anger on him, that he had left, when they were all there to show support to their mother, she was treated from home, not at the hospital, because his father hated when his affairs gets out, he was a public figure and whenever he visits the hospital or something, the papers would have a different thing to say, so they had all been at the house.

But even in the house, they have a bay, where any member of the family that was sick, goes there for treatment, they call it hospital.

"Hello father, I am sorry I left in such a hurry". He started apologising, before things would get out of hand, his father could yell, he didn't want anything to be added to what he was already feeling. He was so angry that he had hurt his wife, he wanted punishment from her not his father.

Even though he had forgiven his wife, he was still angry that she kept something like that from him. But he believes her, and could relate with why she kept it from all of them.

"Andrew wanted to know if Angel left with you? That is why I am calling, he says you guys don't look so happy leaving, so he wanted to keep Angel for the night".

It was already 9pm in the evening, and Peter could only rob his eyes to be sure, he was listening well.

"Daddy, Angel was already in bed, when we left, we didn't go with her. Have you checked her room?

Now Petranilla was scared, she tries to remember the last time she saw Angel, if they were already asking of her, then she was not in the house.

Angel had played out of her room while they were talking at the bay, and grand father had given her a dagger look, that she ran back into the house, but that was the last, she saw of her, and she did not bother to check on her before leaving, because she didn't plan to take her, other kids were there, so she wanted her to spend the night at the house.

"Father, are you saying, that  in the entire house, Angel is not there? He asked, getting up from the bed and getting dressed. Hoping to get an answer from his father, but his father only asked him a question back.

"Wait Peter, are you telling me, you and your wife did not go home with her? He was asking the same question he had asked earlier again. They could not give an answer to each other.

He dropped the phone grabbed his shirt and just placed it on his shoulder, he rushed into the living room, to get the keys from his television stand, and when he was about to leave, he looked back,  when he saw Petranilla behind him.

"I am coming with you". She said, she was already dressed in a simple gown, that was a little bit revealing.

"You cannot go anywhere, let me go over to the house, I will search for her myself.

Petranilla nodded her head, she would not be able to breath well, if she stays back at home, when she was not sure of what was going on, she grabbed his hands and said.

"I will die, if I don't know anything, let me join you in searching for our daughter, please don't say No". She pleaded, Peter had no choice, he had to leave the house with her, Because he knows that he could never win, even if he says he should start arguing with her.

"You are going to promise to be calm, you know what the doctor says you don't need stress, so you cannot stress yourself out".

"I promise". She said, as she got comfortable on the seat belt, and relaxed, she was trying to stay calm, she didn't want to think about Angel missing, she would not be able, to hold herself, she would not be able to do anything about it. And she would cry too much, that she might not have any tears in her eyes anymore.

It was election period, and if the election was in few days, anything could happen, they already have so many enemies and those that want to be the leader of the state, so a little distraction could put his father out if the way.

 Peter had no choice than to drive like a snail. This was one of the reasons, he wanted to go alone, he wanted to drive really fast, but since was carrying his pregnant wife in his car, he could not drive too fast. Maybe it was for the best, Because, if she had not been in the car with her, he was sure, by now, he would already be in the house.

By the time they got there, the entire Anderson was outside, waiting for them, except for their mother that was sick.

Mr Anderson, could not hold his anger anymore, even his guards were kneeling down, with their heads bowed low.

"How can you tell me, that you were all here, and my granddaughter, left this house and you did not notice, are you even listening to your selves, what then am I paying you for? He yelled, he paced around the house.

Peter and Petranilla, could not believe their ears, Angel was actually missing, Peter rushed into the house, while Andrew stood up from the floor, he had been sitting on, and approached her.

"Please tell me this is a joke, tell me you have my daughter with you, please tell me". He fell back on the floor crying.

Petranilla, could not hold her tears anymore, she became really scared, she has failed as a mother, maybe if she had just checked on her, before leaving, maybe if she had not left in anger because of her husband, she would have been with her, she would have sang to her, she would have read her a book.

She walked to meet Miles, who had tears in his eyes too.

This was the first time, the entire brave boys of the Anderson was crying.

Mr Anderson made calls to the guards at the entrance, if she had left the Estate, she would have been noticed, but they said she did not leave the Estate, they have not seen anyone like her.

Peter searched every part of the room, he could not believe, that he was searching his father's house, he asked the kids and they said they have not seen her.

He pulled Anthony's oldest son aside and questioned him. She had been particularly scared if him, maybe he had scared her and she had gone somewhere to hide.

"Did you try to scare her like you used to? He asked, he was very calm with him, but yet the boy still cried.

"I did not even play with her today, she had been playing with her dull all through.

Thise outside, started moving inside, but Andrew stayed back outside with Miles.

"First it was Anna, now Angel, I am going to die, if something ever happens to Angel".

Miles was so sad to see the chaos everywhere, he pulled his brother up, but still he refused to be consoled.

He was crying so much, she is her daughter after all, he should cry.

"You need to get a hold of yourself, you know we will find her, she cannot be gone for so long, maybe she is hiding somewhere.

Let us check the stable, you know she likes playing with the animals". Miles suggested and Andrew agreed. That was like the only place they have not dear he's for in the entire house.

They searched every part of the stable and they still could not find her, then Andrew paused and said.

"What if, Anna, have kidnapped her? He searched Miles face to see if he was getting the gist.

"She might have heard that we know that she has been working with Petranilla, and somehow, they have planned to kidnap her, so that she is with her mother, instead of me?.

What he said, made a lot of sense, but Miles could not think of Petranilla, as being involved, she had been more concerned, about making peace with her husband, and he had dropped her, he did not make any call, while with him, unless of course, if she made it after he drove off.

"I will tell father right away, we need to hear from Petranilla, and if she doesn't answer me this time, I will not be so calm.
