Feelings

Ashley waited the whole evening for Dave to come out from his room so they could have their dinner together, but he didn't come out, rather he told Helen not to disturb him.

She wanted to go knock on his door to ask him to come join her for dinner but she thought against it and went back to the dinning area to eat her food alone.

When she was done eating, she stayed back in the parlour waiting for Dave to come out of his room but he still didn't show up. She couldn't stay any longer as she was sleepy so she retired back to her room to rest for the night.

Dave wasn't sleeping either in his room, he was fully awake, angered and annoyed. He thought of how he will avenge his mother's death but he knew his hands were tied as his father had already compensated him. He felt like strangling his stepmother but he knew he wouldn't be able too, except he was ready to go to jail for broad-day murder. He thought of how to kill her silently and his blood boiled as he thought about it.

He couldn't understand why Mr Dot said Norman never cared about their mother and wasn't concerned about him. Dave remembered the day he had met Norman and crossed paths with him, if only he had known the man was Norman, he could have seized the man from running away from his view, he sighed.

He stood up back and continue his research about Norman, checking most of the companys that had connection with Norman and none of them had Norman's photos attached to it. He wondered why Norman has been silent since the last attack. He sighed and finally fell back on his seat sleeping.

Norman had his men to search for Flora. He called Peter his personal assistant to come into his office.

"Any new report?" Norman asked Peter.

"No Boss!," Peter immediately replied, standing upright.

"Hmm.. Have the boys still search the whole vicinity for her, I will have to join them later," He said.

"Well how about the new Actress, did you ask the manager to approve of her?" He asked Peter.

"Well, yes boss, she has already started working with us last week, and she's very much happy to work with us," Peter replied him.

"Hpmh, I will like to visit the company to have a look at her acting skills, although I will like you to arrange a date for us," Norman smirked at Peter, "Are you even listening to all I have been saying?," he questioned Peter.

"Yes boss, I understand. I will have the boys to search all single traces about Flora, but none as found out anything yet and the least of girls we spoked to didn't have a clue about her whereabouts either," Peter respond.

"Well there's someone that seem to know of her, it not like I have anything to do with Flora, just that we have some unfinished business, and I will like her to be found without a scratch on her, is that understood?,"

"Yes Boss!," Peter replied.

"Good! You may leave, and get back to work," Norman dismissed Peter away from his home office. He didn't want Peter to know how much closeness he was with Flora, as it wasn't difficult for his men to betray him, although Peter has never betrayed him but none of them could be trusted.

Norman brought out the recent magazine image containing Jane Kones photos, with other girls photo, he wanted to go out on a date with her, although it was so unlike him to be interested in a woman, but his father had bothered him so much about settling down and he just wanted to give it a trial if he could start a serious relationship or build a family. He felt worst knowing that the woman he loved so much had disappeared from his view, it been a months now and he has not seen or heard anything or traces about her.

Norman at first thought Flora went on holiday as it was common for the girls in the club to get swapped or go on holidays break, he knew he didn't do anything much in protecting her, he had kept silent about taking his relationship with her serious, and now he thought about building a family with her, she was gone. He feared she hasn't been kidnapped or killed that's why he asked his boys to find her first.

Norman stood up to leave his home office, it been long he last paid his father a visit so he decided to visit his father first and to look for his pops trouble.

Norman drove to his former mansion, although his former mansion was still heavily guarded but he missed his old man.

Mr Tony sat in the welcome area downstairs in the mansion, he sat on a wide cushion chair, reading a magazine, he hadn't taken anything about life serious, he was previously doing a transportation business before Norman came of age and decided to join the mafia again as he knew some men there before. Mr Tony relaxed back pretending not to have noticed Norman had arrived.

"How do you cope living all alone father, no wife no kids, not girlfriend or babes to keep you company, so boring!," Norman teased out, as he stepped into the living room to meet his father.

Mr Tony raised a brow and stared at him thru the magazine he was reading, "Welcome son," he said.

"Oh father, what kind of Magazine is this?,' Norman turned the magazine cover to look it properly, it was a boring magazine covering politics topic, "Oh father, why not get entertaining and funny magazine covering topics on hot teen girls, I can get you a wife from one of them, if you're interested, they wouldn't mind your age, so long there's money," Norman said.

Mr Tony sat up properly and stared at his son, he shook his head while he picked up his favorite wine in front of him, and the glass cup his old maid had kept on the stool and poured it into the glass cup and stared at Norman.

"You see son, everything isn't about money, and women that loves money, that was why I married your mother," He paused and stared at Norman, Then continued, "Many of the girls I had seen and come across with before your mother so loves money, wants money and also would move to the next available man because of money, so long there's money to give to them for free," Mr Tony said shaking his head at he remembered the past.

"Your mother was different and was everything I could ever desire in one million women," he said but Norman frowned.

"You say that a lot father, so tell me why did she left you to go marry that useless man, if it wasn't for money then for what? Women are all the same, so is best to just enjoy them and dump them, not getting to attach to them,' Norman ranted as he stood upright and walked to the bar in their living room, while their old maid called Mercy greeted him. Norman just stared at her and walked passed her to the bar. He sat on a long stool there while he brought out his favorite drink to mix it.

"Father keeps praising mother yet she left him for another rich man, how pathetic," Norman ranted again as he poured out his drink into a glass cup opening another drink to mix with it, as he loves mixing different drinks to get different flavours and taste from it.

"You see father, Mercy had serve you a lot, why not make her your wife instead, am sure she will be very glad to have such a huge promotion from maid to madam," Norman teased.

"Norman!" Mr Tony warned. "You should stop speaking in rubbish and learn to respect Mercy," his father said.

"Like you always say father, Anyways I came home to spend the weekend with you, I have some appointments next week."

"You shouldn't have, you already too old and you give me head ache," Mr Tony teased him back and he stiffened.

"..." Norman glared at his father before drinking his mixed wine. He stood up and went to his room upstairs. He had it in mind to throw a bash in his father's mansion and he smiled wickedly as he thought about it, before going into his room, he knew his father doesn't entertain women, but he want to tease his father the more, how he liked behaving naughty to get his father's scolding.
