Leonardo sat in the office thinking deeply.
It has been seven days since he heard or saw Alisha.
He had woken up on Sunday with a very bad headache, he could not find Alisha.
The last thing he remembered was that he had gotten off from the car and told the driver to drive Alisha home while he went to a bar.
He had drunk so much and was about leaving to his apartment with a one night stand for the night when the woman's husband and appeared and almost caused a scene. He would not have guessed that a married woman would be in a club posing as a call girl.
He had gone back in and drunk some more before taking a cab home, he did not remember the ride home or how he had gotten in bed.
He went to use the bathroom and was about going downstairs to get something for his headache when he caught sight of Alisha's wedding ring on the bed. Going closer to the ring, he saw her silk night gown folded underneath the ring.
He picked it up and saw that it was turned and had some blood stains, pushing off the duvet, he saw that the bedspread was also stained with blood. Panic grew inside of him, and his head pounded.
Alisha, he screamed running down the stairs. He was confused, what could have gone wrong?
Why was her nightgown torn? Why was there blood? Why was her ring on the bed and not on her finger?
He searched the whole house, she was nowhere to be found.
He checked the CCTV that covered what happened around the house, he saw himself coming into the house drunk. He also saw that at the odd hour of the night, Alisha had left the house with a bag.
He was more confused, why did she leave?
He could not remember a thing that had happened, too bad he did not activate the CCTV inside the house.
Leonardo rang Alisha's dad to ask if Alisha was with him, he had told him she was not, he sounded calm when Leonardo told him he could not find Alisha and that the CCTV caught her leaving the house.
Leonardo was sure Alisha dad knew where she was, he tried to get anything from him, maybe a hint to where she was, but the man was not interested in saying anything. He was sure she was safe since her father seemed to know her whereabouts, but he was more confused than ever.
Leonardo had a hard time getting things done. He was distracted in meetings, he was unable to get work done, he had lost his appetite, and was even finding it difficult to have good night sleep. One thing was sure, he missed Alisha, and what was more confusing was why she left.
He had wanted to ask his private investigator to find Alisha, but he decided that since she was safe, he would respect her privacy to be alone for some time.
Maybe it was payback for the time he had left her for a month.
Leonardo was trying hard to remember what had happened the night Alisha left, he decided that perhaps he had slept the whole of the night since he was drunk, that was why he could not recall what must have happened.
"Could it be that Alisha left me for another man?" "Was that why she left when I was drunk and asleep?
"Is that why her father would not tell me where she is?"
Leonardo was asking himself series of questions, yet he had no answer to any of them.
"You miss her" Dr Snow said as Leonardo sat in her office, he felt he was gradually losing sanity
"I do, I feel I should look for her, get her back, but then maybe she doesn't want to be with me"
"Why did you not tell her you were in love with her when you had the chance?"
"I never thought she was going to leave, I don't know how she found out about the reason I made the contract with her, but maybe she left because she thought I will never love her."
"What do you want to do?" Dr. Snow asked him.
"I don't know, I just need to be sure if she is with another man or not, maybe then I would know what to do, but she can't be with another man while she is still legally married to me, that is bigamy, and I will not take that from her." Leonardo got up from the seat and left the office.
"Bad at ending his sessions properly" Dr. Snow shook her head.
On Saturday night, Leonardo sat in a bar and drank in anger and frustration.
Anger that Alisha had left him, frustration that he did not know what to do, for the first time he was really confused as to what to do.
"Need a company for the night?"
a skinny blond worked up to him. Maybe she could help with the emotional stress he was going through at the moment.
Leonardo paid for his drink and took her into his car. He drove to his apartment and let her in.
"What would you like me to do for you?" she asked him smiling like he was a trophy she had won.
He took off his shirt, while she took off her jewelry. He poured them a drink and as they drank she massaged his shoulders. Finishing his drink, he took her to bed and undressed her.
She waited for him to undress himself, and then join her on the bed.
She climbed up on him and kissed him.
She was a professional at this, with a learned skill from multiple experience, she got him rock hard and ready for her.
She wore the condom he had dropped by the bed, and she eased herself into him. Leonardo moaned as she drove him like a cow girl, easing herself in and out of him.
She went in fast strokes, while he guided her by holding her hips with his hand on both sides.
In a few more strokes Leonardo came and poured his seed into the condom.
She took it off and replaced it with another, this was probably what he needed a crazily horny sexual expert to help him forget Alisha as soon as he could.
She turned her back to him and eased into him again.
Leonardo watched her ass fly up and down on his erected dick as she fucked him reverse cow girl.
Her moans filled the air, as she fucked him real hard, he was enjoying the sex, and for a moment he forgot about Alisha.
She shivered as she climaxed and came on him.
He pace weakened as she tried to catch her breath from the release she just had.
Leonardo lifted her off him and turned her to kneel on the bed.
She knelt on the bed and lifted her ass while he slid into her wet clit from behind.
She cried from the deep penetration, and her moans increased as he pumped in and out of her in long, hard, strides.
When he found his release and came a second time inside the condom, she collapsed on the bed the moment he pulled out of her.
When he got back from the bathroom after he had gone to clean up, she was already dressed and waiting for him.
"My pay, it's still an early night" Leonardo paid her off and she left the room in a hurry to get another client to satisfy for the night.
He spent the night in the apartment and did not leave until the next afternoon.
When he went back to the mansion, Mary had lunch ready and was cleaning the kitchen.
Leonardo had called Mary back earlier from the off he gave her, so she could help clean up and cook if he needed to eat.
She had asked about Alisha, and he told her she left for no reason, Mary had worked with him for over ten years and he felt she could be trusted.
"Any news from her yet?" Mary asked when he came into the kitchen.
Mary was 45 years old, she had lost her husband in an accident, she was alone without a child and was not interest in remarrying.
"She can as well stay wherever she is without a word, I don't give a fuck."
"Don't say that sir, I see what her absence as done to you, maybe you should go see her father" Mary suggested.
He did not respond to that, but as he sat to eat, he considered maybe seeing her dad would be of help.
Later that Sunday evening, Leonardo called Mr. Adams to inform him that he was on his way to the house to see him.
"Alisha is not here" Mr. Adams said as he let him into the house.
"If I wanted to find her I would have done that, but I will respect her decision to remain hidden, I just want to know why she left."
"I do not know Leonardo, you should be able to answer that question, she did not tell me, she only said you two had a fight."
"We did have a very little argument, it is not enough reason for her to leave."
"I really don't want to get involved in your marital issues especially since Alisha would not want me to."
"I understand that Mr. Adams, but I cannot help but feel like she left with another man."
"I would not have you come into my home and insult my daughter, Alisha isn't that kind of a woman, don't judge her by the ways of her mother, if Alisha married you, she would never cheat on you no matter what, and if she found someone else, I"d be sure she would do the right thing and get properly divorces before she gets involved with another man."
Leonardo could not tell this man that Alisha got married to him not because that was what she wanted but because it as needful, how was he going to explain that he was probably the man that got in between her real relation and she was done with him, but what he said was true, Alisha was smart, she would not be caught in a crime of bigamy, all he could do was wait for her to reappear or send a divorce paper across to him, the only thing he could do at the moment was wait.
"For how long do I have to wait?" Leonardo asked himself as he drove back home. Was Alisha gone away from his life for good or was she going to be back? He didn't have an answer.
"What am I supposed to do while she is away? Move on with life as though she is just on a long trip, or as if she was never there in the first place.
Leonardo thought about Alisha, all the fights and fun moment they had together, for a moment he thought she also loved him and would not leave until the contract was over, but she had surprised him.
He didn't know if he could give Grandpa Alexandra and Nana the news just yet, he didn't know what to tell them, maybe he could just come clean and tell everyone that the marriage was all a fake, maybe he could just move on with his life as if she didn't exist, or maybe he could have a private investigator look for her and maybe only then could he uncover his biggest suspicion, maybe only then would he really know if she was with another man, living as if she had no care in the world.
Leonardo got back home and found Chloe waiting for him by the gate.
"What is Chloe doing here by this time of the night?" he asked himself as he drove into the house.
