CHAPTER 35

PREVIOUSLY ON UNVEILING THE MASK

"I won't back down without a fight"

"I know.. but I was hoping you would.. Am bad news"

"That's what excite me the most about you.. It's driving me crazy"

"My heart belongs to another man" she whispered and my heart broke hearing those hurtful words coming from her lips.. Damn!! It hurts alot but I composed myself..

"It was mine once and soon it'll be mine forever" I told her and she smiled at me..

"Don't judge me by my expression.."

"Meaning???"

"Dancing with you does not mean you've gat a chance with me.. Am proudly inlove with Ardo.. That heart of mine that loved you once before is dead and buried with my husband's corpse.. This heart of mine belongs to him alone.. Forever and always.." she proclaimed

I was about to say something when that dickhead walked up to us..

"We have to go.. Miss" Eddie spoke up

"What are you??? Her Escort or her personal body guard" I spat angrily

"That's not important.." he cuts me off

"What's wrong???" Emilia asked walking with him to a quiet area and I trailed behind them anxiously and suspiciously

"What's going on, Eddie??" Emilia asked worriedly..

"Cassius has gone missing??" he broke the news..

"What???" Emilia and I shouted in union..

'How the hell did this happened??' I asked myself ..

EMILIA'S POV

"Cassius has gone missing??" Eddie broke the news and my heart ached..

"What???" Emilio and I shouted in union and I felt my head spinning around..

I held unto Emilio for support.. As I felt my blood draining..

"Put a call across to Grandma and ask for her help.." I requested and he attempted to walk away to make the phone call but I stopped him

"Wait!!" I whispered as I trembled within me..

"Give me my car keys!!" I commanded..

"We're are you going to in this state.. Emilia" Emilio asked me but I ignored him and grabbed the keys from Eddie..

"I'm coming with you ma'am" Eddie spoked up

"No.. Just get the boys ready after making the phone call. I'll meet you guys at home.I need some time alone to think" I explained and he nodded and walked away relunctantly..

"Am coming with you" Emilio said

"Nah!! Am fine alone" I replied and he surprisingly gripped my hand...

"He's my son dammit!!" he said grinding his teeth..

He looked fucking serious and arguing with him will only waste my time

"Okay!! Let's go" I replied and he lowered his gaze and released his grib on me..

I started the engine and drifted off in my thoughts

I've eliminated William, Bill and Aunt Fustina.. The only person I know whose still alive that knows much about me is uncle Rico.. But he can't resort to such lame tactics.. Despite his hatred he can't stoop so low to such lame tactics..
