Chapter 94: Jenner's Missing
Jenner's Missing
Amelia held onto Dylan tightly as she cried. She doesn't know what must have happened to Jenner that she ran away. The girl does not have anywhere else to go aside from her. She doesn't have any relative aside from her so she wondered where she must have gone.
"Calm down, Amelia. We would find her." Dylan tried to calm his wife but she didn't stop.
"Where? Where Dylan? She is not anywhere in the house." Amelia cried.
They had woken up everyone in the house including the gateman who said he didn't see Jenner go out.
"Should we go and search for her?" Amelia asked Dylan as she held unto him tightly but Dylan shook his head.
"We'll inform the police by morning, let's go and sleep now."
"Everyone else go to your room." Dylan ordered before gently pulling his wife to his room.
Amelia could not stop worrying, even when she had gotten to the room, she refused to sleep. She kept panicking.
Dylan looked at his wife as he wondered how someone could be so soft hearted and kind. This is a lady that had eloped with her lover leaving you. And she still cared for her like she had always been good to her.
He could tell that for the parents and Jenner to leave her behind, it means that they never treated her right.
Dylan sighed before bending down and took off her shoes. He began to massage her leg.
"Amelia, I promise you, first thing in the morning, we would go to the police. You shouldn't panic. I think Jenner is fine."
Amelia didn't reply to her husband, she just sat there blaming herself. If she had been more caring, if she had stayed with Jenner, she wouldn't have left. She can't help but feel it was her fault.
Dylan tried to put the girl to sleep but she didn't succumb. Amelia refused to lay on the bed let alone close her eyes. She kept telling Dylan that it was her fault for not taking care of her enough and Dylan was beginning to get pissed at this.
He left her to lay on the bed but he found out that he wasn't able to sleep as well. He tossed and turned but he was bothered that his wife was bothered.
Amelia sat there till morning, Dylan became really pissed at her for acting that way but he couldn't say a thing. He knew the girl was bothered because Jenner was her sister.
By morning, Amelia rushed to the bathroom to take her bath and quickly got dressed as she instructed him to go have his bath as well. When they were done dressing, Amelia and Dylan left for the station.
The moment they came down to the living room, they met Tess, Tina and Jenner in the living room.
Amelia ran towards Jenner and wrapped her arms around the girl as she cried. Jenner also cried in her arms hugging her tightly. Jenner's eyes were red.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Amelia kept apologizing, Dylan wondered what exactly she was apologizing for.
When they left each other, Amelia asked.
"Where were you? I was worried sick for you Jenner."
Jenner almost rolled her eyes. She was fine of course. In fact, she was having the best time of her life. Amelia was feeling pity for her .
"Look at your eyes, my dear sister. You must have cried a lot." Amelia hugged her again. Jenner sneered, it looks like having sex in the swimming pool actually pays off.
Jenner rested her head on Amelia's shoulder before saying.
"I had…had to leave, Amelia. I had to go." she cried bitterly.
Dylan stood behind Amelia so he could see Jenner's face. He could swear he saw Jenner smirk.
"Why? What did we do? Why did you suddenly wish to leave?"
Jenner shook her head before using the back of her hand to clean her cheek.
"Not you. You didn't do anything." she replied.
"Who hurt you?" Amelia asked. "Who hurt you that you had to leave."
Jenner raised her hand to point at Dylan. Amelia turned to see who Jenner was pointing at and frowned
"Oh no. Dylan would never hurt you. He loves me so he would not hurt the people that I love." Amelia replied.
'Fool!' Jenner cussed her in her mind before crying harder.
"He hurt me. He does because he ignores me and I feel he hates me, Amelia. He does." she cried louder making Amelia's face dark.
She faced Dylan who was looking back at her. His face was straight and he stood there without saying a word. She didn't know what to say, she didn't know If she should ask him or not. She didn't know if it would annoy him.
"Ask him if you think I am lying, ask him." Jenner screamed with her accusing fingers at Dylan.
Dylan scoffed before turning his head away. His wife better not ask him stupid questions. He doesn't see why he should like her.
"Dylan?" Amelia called and Dylan turned his head to look at his wife. She was really going to ask him .
"Is it true? Is it true that you hate Jenner?"
In anger, Dylan replied, "Am I supposed to like her?"
Jenner's cry increased and Amelia frowned deeper as her heart broke for her sister. Her sister had run away from the house because of her own Husband and here he was helping her to search for her all this while and he was the cause for her disappearance.
'Was he pretending to care?' she asked herself
"Dylan?" She called again. "I want you to apologize to Jenner."
Dylan's eyes narrowed at her words, his anger became visible in his face. His heart hardened, he looked at Jenner with raised brows before he scoffed. He ignored them all and made his way to his room.
Amelia wanted to follow him but Jenner grabbed her before resting her head on her shoulder to cry.
Tina didn't like what had just happened. She knew Dylan would never apologize and Amelia should have known that too well also. Amelia should have known that her husband would only apologize to her because she was his wife.
Tess had a smile on her face. She had been the one that called Jenner the night before to ask where she was. When Jenner said she had gone out to have some fun, Tess suggested that they do it this way.
With this, Amelia would slowly drift away from Dylan and she could come in.
Tess had said to her last night.
"Make sure to come in immediately because they might settle if you give Dylan space but if you seduce him. He wouldn't find the need for his wife when he has you to service him. Besides, you were the one he wanted in the first place."
Jenner thought it was a good idea so when she was on her way back. She bought some clothes and wore them because she didn't want to come back home looking like some prostitute.
Tess and Jenner's eyes met and they smirked. Tina had seen this and raised a brow.
'What are they up to?' she wondered.
She would have to find out. She kept her gaze at them as she thought of how to help Dylan and Amelia with this.
It didn't take long, Dylan came down with his briefcase and walked out of the house without sparing anyone a look. Amelia broke the hug from Jenner immediately and followed after her husband.
"Dylan, we need to talk." she said as she followed behind the man who was walking real fast.
"I'm running late for work already." Dylan replied as he threw his briefcase at the back of the car.
"You didn't plan going to the office a while ago."
"That's because we were going in search of Jenner. Now that she's found, I don't see why I should be here watching the both of you hug." he replied in a mocking manner.
Amelia didn't know why but this last statement angered her so she flare up.
"So I can't hug my sister huh? So it's true that you hate her! You hate her, why?!"
Dylan couldn't stop staring at his wife, he shook his head before walking away to the other side of the car.
Amelia didn't let him leave just like that, she followed him before turning him to face her. She held unto his shirt so he wouldn't leave .
"Tell me, Dylan. Tell me why you hate my sister when she hasn't done anything wrong to you."
Dylan was feeling his anger rise as Amelia held him like a thief. He has never been humiliated like this before. He didn't want to hurt her and he didn't think he could. He loves her too much to hate her.
"Let go of my shirt, Amelia." he said before pulling her hands off his shirt. He entered his car and drove out of the compound leaving an angry Amelia.
