The young mistress is missing

"Fine, you can stay but until grandma is okay", Violet heaved a sigh of frustration.

Taking out her phone to answer an incoming call, Navya's eyes almost popped out. This is the latest phone brand she has been dying to have.

"Okay, thank you so much Miss Clemson", she hung up.

Lucas crept up behind her and inquired about who called.

"My manager, she said the audition has been postponed to a month. Lucas only nodded in acknowledgement. Turning around, he bumped into Navya who twirled her hair and smiled shyly.

"You are Prisha's boyfriend? What do you do for a living? You look wealthy...."

She was so crafty in her actions and thoughts as she smiled harmlessly. This girl is so bold, do they think she doesn't know that they have been subtly hitting on Lucas? Uhh! Such a rotten bunch. So direct in seducing her man without batting an eyelid. Did they think she wasn't there?

Violet looked worked up and almost exploded in anger. She looked helpless but what can she do? Diya was also interested in knowing what this handsome gentleman does for a living.

"Maybe cousin Prisha doesn't want us to know anything about him", Diya commented softly.

"I'm just a businessman", Lucas hid his hands in his trousers pocket.

"Really?" Diya was wowed by the answer.

He seemed to be an honest person and he is so handsome. Prisha is so lucky to have met him.

On hearing that he is a businessman, Saanvi's greedy side popped up.

"You can't just take our Prisha away like that, you must do the necessary things. We are all she's got", she said it is the most righteous manner.

Violet sneered inwardly, All she's got indeed. Where were they all these years? Where were they when she was tortured by the mother-daughter duo?

Lucas and violet left the trio behind and went back to their home.

The kids were well taken care of and by the time they reached they had slept off.

Lucas got a phone call and he received it.

📳"Liam, so good to hear from you. I miss you so much so so much Liam", Samira chirped happily on the phone. Lucas had mistakenly clicked on the loudspeaker. His eyes clashed with Violet's who was about to enter the bathroom. He debated between hanging up or.....

Darn, this Samira!

📳"What do you want?"

📳"Can we meet? I will be in New York soon".

Lucas looked at Violet who seemed to be waiting for an answer from him, the two women were practically on his neck.

He sighed, one is his lover, the other is the daughter of his business partner

📳"I'm not in New York now, I went somewhere". Violet sneered, men will always be who they are. Why would he take time to answer her in detail, unless something is going on between them? She raised her eyebrows in realization. Wait! Who Is this Liam? Don't tell me he's another name she uses to cheat on her? Darn it! She doesn't know this guy anymore. She had trusted him so much that she lost herself in this stupid fantasy of love and happily ever after

📳"I will wait for you to come back".

📳"No need for that, I don't know when I will be back".

📳" Okay, no problem. I'm bored, I may take out time to have fun before you come back. I love you, much".

Lucas hung up and Violet quietly entered the bathroom.

"Treasure I can explain. It's not what you think", he banged the door but she had locked it from inside.

Violet slid down the tiled wall to the floor and tears trickled down her cheeks. She told herself that she had found love but could it have been a dream all this while?

Sandra had told her that she would be dumped when he was done with her but she didn't believe it. Of course, why would he sincerely love a pauper like her with nothing to her name? She is done giving her heart to a man who is a two-timer, the game has ended!

She washed up faster than he thought and emerged with steam covering her. She dried her hair but Lucas tried to help her and she refused.

She took her phone with her and Lucas blocked her way.

"Get the f**k out of my way", she said menacingly. He was stunned, she had never used a curse word.

"You take the room, I will join the kids", she pushed him out of the way and stormed out of the room.

"Treasure I can explain whatever you heard".

"Get the hell out of my sight Lucas. You liar, you cheat. I don't know who are you, you two-timed bastard. You played your game well and silly me fell in love with you. I hate you Lucas..... oh Liam", she mocked and slammed the door on his face.

Lucas got frustrated and pulled his hair. Taking his phone he called Mr Rashid.

"Mr Rashid, my greetings to you and your family. I hope I will be able to attend your daughter's wedding very soon. Also, I hope we have an understanding sir?"

"Liam, it's my fault. I didn't teach her well. I will take care of the issue, be rest assured".

"I appreciate your effort".

Lucas hung up and paced up and down.

Mr Rashid stormed out of his study room towards the daughter's room.

Her maids made way for him but he halted right outside the door.

"Tell her to meet me in my study", he turned on her heels.

"Yes, master", Samira's head maid lowered her head.

She hurried into the room, Samira was in a dazed state and she was looking at some of Lucas's pictures she stealthily took at the party.

"Young mistress, master looks very angry. He wants you to meet him in his study".

Samira snorted, she gathered her long gown and strode forward with an air of superiority.

" Pack a suitcase for me".

"Young mistress, where are you going to?"

"Stop being nosy, just do your work", she clicked her tongue and the maid nodded. She had seen when Samira was born, that the little girl had suckled her breast because she was her nanny till she was weaned.

Samira slammed the door a little harder than usual after she entered the study.

"Have you lost your mind? Have I given you so much such that you don't know what to do with yourself?"

"Yes father, I have lost my mind. I do not want to marry Majid. How can I marry a man I have no feelings for?"

"You don't expect love in a marriage. As long as he can take care of you, love will eventually come. Besides, you have no choice in this issue and you know that"

"I refuse to be your puppet dad, I'm done doing that. I want Liam and no one else, if you cannot get him for me then I will do it my way", she walked out on the father.

Rashid was depressed, he thought he would be able to handle this situation well. Majid's father was to help him win the next election, things would have gone well but this... He ordered very strong liquor and downed a bottle. Fortunately, he could hold his liquor well else he would have been a joke in the presence of the other government officials.

He had just woken up with a heavy and piercing migraine when the guards rushed in and lowered their heads.

"Master, young mistress is missing", the head guard reported.

Rashid felt like the world came crashing at his feet.

"Search for her in every corner of the country, check all the flight details this morning", he slumped onto the couch. That's when the subordinates noticed his disorganized state and quickly dispersed into the thin air.
