RICHARD'S POV

After waiting for Vanessa's call all afternoon for me to bring Rachel to her, I finally picked the last option which is to take Rachel home.

I tried calling her phone for like the umpteenth time but she's still not picking up and I'm worried already. I’ve even sent someone to her house and they couldn’t find her there.

“Where's mummy, daddy?” Rachel asked

“She's fine. She'll soon be here, okay” she smiled and nodded.

We entered my living room and I gently placed her on the couch before going into the kitchen to fix up something for the two of us.

If Essa won't call in the next thirty minutes, then I don't have a choice than to get the police involved.

I'm trying to keep my cool right now and it's not easy I swear. I'm so worried right now. Essa please, be fine.

My phone ringing in my pocket pulled me out of my thoughts and I picked up the call.
