Chapter 38: Where is Ella?
“What?” Jane asked.
Without waiting for another word from Festus, she started walking towards the restroom.
Ella missing?
How come?
She looked at her wristwatch and saw that it’s taking longer than expected. She should be back from the restroom already.
She got in and checked each of the closet but didn’t find Ella. She opened another closet and found a dark skinned woman easing herself.
“Fuck off” she yelled at Jane. The latter apologised and went to the next closet.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
By the time Jane returned to Festus, she looked worried already. “She’s not there” she declared and looked at Festus’ concerned stare.
They got back to the hall and didn’t find Alex. The latter had gone in search of Ella. His wife was in some kind of danger already and he had to save her.
His bodyguards already went into the technical unit to check the CCTV camera and to their utmost irritation, it was blank.
Within the space of five minutes, the camera went faulty; they couldn’t find any traces where Ella might be.
Festus looked around and discovered that Lisa was staring at him with a smirk. This definitely has something to do with her.
Quickly, he asked that his guards take Jane away from the party venue. The latter was restless already. Had Ella been kidnapped right before them?
When Alex couldn’t find Ella, the manager of the hotel was summoned. When he was told that Mr Foster’s wife had been kidnapped, he was scared.
The thoughts of it were capable of scaring anyone around. They knew the strength of the Foster family and anyone messing around with them would have himself to be blamed.
The atmosphere became tense when the celebrant was informed that Mr Foster’s wife had disappeared. In view of that, no one goes out or comes in until she’s found.
The manager went to check on the securities and no one saw when Ella was taken out. If she’s not out of the hotel, then whoever kidnapped her was lurking around in the compound.
More hands were brought in to ensure maximum security. Lisa became restless. How did this happen?
Shouldn’t Bill be more careful with whatever he was doing? He should have left no traces behind.
Since they couldn’t leave the hotel, it wouldn’t be long and they would be discovered. It should be something brief and get the video recording.
“Where is the welfare manager?” Damon Harris asked. He was honestly shivering and wondered what misfortune would befall them if anything happens to Mr Foster’s wife.
That was when Festus swung into action. All the employees of Starlight holdings were presented but Bill Winston was not there.
At this time, Alex has assigned his men to search the entire hotel. Room by room and others to search the entire compound.
The securities of the hotel also joined. He doesn’t know why he wasn’t smart enough to protect his own wife.
What kind of a husband was he? He brought his wife to a party and she went missing? Is he worthy of calling her his wife?
He had made her postpone her meeting with whoever the person was, only for her to go missing. He wasn’t good enough.
Damon Harry involved the police and in no time, the entire hotel has been surrounded.
Lisa became restless. While everyone was worried how Mr Foster’s wife was kidnapped, Lisa seemed to be dialling a certain person’s cell phone number.
Her eyes couldn’t drift away from her phone. But the person was not answering his phone. Lola Brabra observed her restlessness and became suspicious.
Her nervousness was not due to the fact that she loved Ella that much. In fact, she detested her. Why the sudden nervousness and her complexion going pale?
“Lisa, I hope you know nothing about the present commotion?” Lola asked, afraid her thoughts might be right.
“How can you even ask me such a question? Friends trust each other, right?” Lisa replied, eyeing her friend.
And almost immediately, she looked at her phone again. Unable to remain still, she threw caution to the air and walked towards the restroom.
This time, she dialled the fellow’s cell phone number again and quickly, he answered. He seemed to be panting as he said ” Lisa, I need help”
“You Bastard. You can’t even do a clean job. The entire hotel is turned upside down searching for that idiot. Get lost from wherever you are already…”Lisa was yelling.
Perhaps Lisa had forgotten she was not in her father’s Mansion. Or she probably had thought she was the only one, entitled to use the corridor.
She completely lost her composure and didn’t act nor talk with caution. She was still talking when her hand was suddenly grabbed from behind.
