Chapter 252 DISAPPEARANCE OF ANN
1677words
"I am tired now." Tessa pout showing her annoyance at me when I just head out from the shower, all wet and naked.
"So, then rest," I tell her casually while I start to put on my clothes.
"I didn't mean it that way." She says, trying to begin the argument, well, I can't blame her, it's difficult for me to leave her alone once my mouth gets her taste. It's nearly impossible to not ravish her from time to time.
"Tessy, you made me suffer for years, dear, these are just a few hours I am taking from you." I tell her with a meaningful smirk and she rolls her eyes with dissatisfaction, "I too, had suffered in this." She makes a fair point.
"So, then, come and take your revenge, my dear wife." I hold out my arms wide, presenting myself happily to her while she let out a sarcastic groan and I chuckle, "Rest properly because I am still not done." I whisper in her ear and it turns completely red.
Smirking, I kiss her cheek and then leave for the office. I didn't want to leave at first but then thinking about our reunion, I think I need to make a few arrangements today in advance.
"Something special?" Lillian raises her brow as soon as she sees me entering with a bright face.
"In my office," I command as I make my way inside.
"So…" She prompts taking a seat at my desk, her eyes deeply looking at my face with curiosity.
"Tessa isn't leaving." I tell her with a triumphant smile and she blinks in disbelief, "How?" She exhales and last night flashes in my mind, no, hell, I am going to tell her those.
I shake away those memories, "Well, that's my charm." I say overconfidently and she scoffs in response.
"You know I am in a very good mood, otherwise you would have been paying for that disobedience." I point out and she looks unbothered by my words.
The disadvantage of treating employees like a family, they don't really consider you as the Boss.
Sigh…
"Contact the lawyer, I need to make a few arrangements and also keep trying Ann's secretary, I need to know about her whereabouts, ok," I instruct Lillian and reluctantly she leaves the office. I know she's desperate and curious to know what actually changed Tessa's mind. I will tell her everything but not now, later.
Let her stay curious for a while.
I try to wrap up the work as soon as I could, so I could reach back home in time.
"There is nothing from your sister, and the lawyer's number I have received but I am unable to get through to him." Lillian informs and I frown, "You can leave now."
My mood starts to sulk, I take out my phone and call Ann, where the hell has she disappeared? Didn't she need to come back home?
I reach home in a dull mood, all my happiness is gone, but when I look at the cheerful sight of my children with Tessa, my mood again starts to brighten.
"Daddy…" Cyrus rushes to me and I hold him up as I kiss his chubby cheek, this man is the same as me. My junior.
"What were you doing?" I ask while walking toward Tessa and Aaron who are seated on the sofa, "We are drawing a family picture."
"Really?" I sit beside Tessa kissing her on the cheek and then looking at Aaron, "What's Aaron making?"
"I am making Ann's drawing," Aaron says while handing me a paper where he has drawn a woman wearing a skirt and top, her eyes green and she is carrying a purse which Ann always carries with a soft pearl chain around her neck.
I look at the picture amused, Aaron has noticed all the details of Ann's appearance, that's quite impressive work he has drawn on the paper.
"How's it, Daddy?" Aaron asks excitedly while I am busy admiring his work.
"It's very beautiful," I reply honestly.
"Where is Ann, Daddy? I am missing her." Aaron looks at me with sad eyes and my heart tightens, I too have no idea where she has gone, maybe I should ask Jethro to look for her.
"She has gone on a business trip and will return soon." I comfort Aaron's worries and he releases a small smile believing my lie.
"And what about mine?" Cyrus holds up his picture to my face and I don't even realize when that little man slides away from my lap.
I look at the picture he has made and couldn't understand what it is until I saw rough untidy letters below the picture, "Daddy"
I blink twice in order to see clearly, am I that ugly? And what happened to my hair?
I am supposed to open my mouth with a genuine response when Tessa interrupts, "Handsome Daddy, no?"
I tilt my head towards her just to see her stifling her laugh, oh, she is mocking me.
"Indeed." I join in with a wicked grin.
"I think I could become an artist, Daddy." Cyrus says with an overconfident face and I smile, "My son could become anything he wants to."
I take off my coat and we all begin coloring, the thing I used to do as a child, it feels awkward to me but Tessa looks completely fine and energetic to do such childish things with the kids.
I watch them all with warm eyes, this is my family but we are not complete as Ann is still missing from this frame.
Also, I need to tell her about my decision of keeping my family together and also reveal my marriage publicly to Tessa. But, all things would be possible only if she would show herself to me.
After dinner, I disappear into my study room. I need to look for Ann, I ask for Jethro's help and the first thing that MF says to me literally boils my blood.
"If she's gone, she's gone why do you want to ruin your peace, huh?"
Huh !!
"Do you have any f**king idea that you are talking about my sister?" I growl at him.
"Huh, sister…" He laughs sarcastically and I want to strangle him through the phone so he would stop his evil laughter but I had no choice but to curse him multiple times in a row.
After I am done with my work, I head back to our room, my and Tessa's room. I was in a foul mood but her appearance in my room brightens my mood in an instant somehow she notices my worries and asks in concern, "Is there any problem, Hubby?"
"Uhmm, No," I lie flawlessly and her eyes narrow at me, "You better not hide anything from me now."
And I gulp nervously, her tone is quite serious.
I take a deep breath and then reveal to her, "It's been more than a week, and I didn't get in contact with Ann. She… she just disappeared suddenly." I tell her exasperatedly and she holds my hand.
"She is mature, and an intelligent woman, she must be busy somewhere. If you want, we can go and search for her." She offers politely making my heart warm, see, no matter what Ann did to her she is still considerate to her.
"I have asked one of my friends to look for her. Soon, we will get something." I tell her and she passes me a small smile, "As you like."
She then turns to leave when I hold her wrist impassively, "Where are you going?"
"My nightdress," She points at the wardrobe and I shake my head, "No… No… I don't want any clothes on you."
She looks at me stunned and then tries to pull away her wrist, "I am tired."
"But, I am not," I tell her with an evil smirk, taking a predatory step towards her and she keeps backing away although she knows she is trapped by my grip on her wrist.
No way for her to escape.
"Are you really tired?" I ask her softly in concern while letting go of her wrist and holding her face in my hands.
She blinks, her beautiful eyes scanning my expressions, she must be thinking I am teasing her but my expression gives her no clue and she nods her head slightly and bites her lip nervously confusing me if she really is tired or just wanting to make me desperate.
I lean down, my nose touches her, and her breath hitches, my lips curl up as I tease her lips with mine, a soft smooch but not a proper kiss at all.
She closes her eyes pushing herself forwards and I watch her mesmerize my mouth inch away from hers.
She opens her eyes after a moment, staring at me with little fury, "You said you're tired." I smirk and then step away from her leaving her all stunned.
"Andrew." She groans, taking my arm and pulling me back to her.
Her lips cover mine before I even blink and she invades my mouth with her tongue making me completely surprised.
Holding her restless hands, I pinned her against the wall taking the lead of our kiss and then guiding her slowly, her urge to get me naked amused me. Quickly I set her clothes free as I hold her up in my arms and in a single push, I am all in, swallowing her loud moan into my mouth.
My body starts to hammer her, making her a sandwich between me and the wall, I am sure this time she is going to be badly bruised because I am in no f**king way to stop or be gentle.
She tightens her grip around my waist, an indication that she too wants it rough and wild, I oblige.
We both get lost in each other and the other night of ours we spend more into lovemaking rather than sleeping on the bed.
