THE MASKED (Sequence 1)

CHAPTER 37

I noticed that Bill's countenance changed immediately he heard snipper talk about the package. I waved it off but he stood up to leave even before I could find out how he got to know I visited Emilia. I would have Persuaded him to stay a little longer while I try to find out why his countenance changed and how he got to know about my movements but I was clouded with the anxiety of knowing about Emilia's past. The first place I saw her was on her supposed mum's burial. I watched her so long. Something about her caught my attention. She looked so fragile and was looking like she was going to break into tiny pieces soon. I felt kinda bad for not being able to help her or do something. At that time, we were teens but all I wanted to do was give her a big hug to soothe her.
I watched her continuously till my dad told me it was time to go home and that's how I met my princess.
I've been keeping tabs on her since then but for the past few years, I've been really busy until faith brought us back together again. All those years, I noticed something really odd about her. Her mother was never recorded to be pregnant at anytime for a second baby. Weird right, yea it is. I can't seem to understand her appearance in the family. So that was what I told snipper to find out for me. Hey don't accuse me of anything am just curious.
After sometime, I told them to check if my brother was outer my house and his leaving was confirmed. I told snipper to bring out the package and he did. I read and re read what I saw in the package and I was beyond shocked. What I saw was enough to ruin a family and it's future generations if let out but I wasn't planning to keep it away from the person involved. I put her in that state and maybe if I tell her, it will make her want to wake her up. All I want is to take her out of the situation I put her. I told snipper to get ready to escort me to the hospital.
After few minutes, I got ready and went outside to meet snipper but he didn't grant me access.
"Am sorry boss, we can't go out now"
I snapped immediately
"What the hell in the world are you saying"
"There's a situation we are trying to solve before you can go out"
"What's that"
"A car has been parked two houses close to the house for the past four hours"
"What?"
"Yea... he probably doesn't know you own those houses too"
Oooooo.... Not now that I have something important to do....
"What are we going to do now"
"I've sent one of the men to purchase groceries informing him about the situation and as expected the car followed him"
"Since the car left already, we can quickly go out. Can't we?"
"We can't because we don't know if other people are also doing the same job of monitoring your movements"
"Oooo dammit "
I was so pissed. What are they monitoring my movements for and why now.
"So what are you doing about it"
"We are on it"
"Better be"
I angrily went inside my chamber and went to my bar. Opening the lead, I poured out champagne into the glass cup and took two shots. Shit! It's not even helping. The remaining day was boring and I was upset throughout.
The following day wasn't better as my security men where trying everything possible to know who has been outside in the street for a whole day yet they couldn't get anything.
For three days the person has been there without leaving and on two occasions I've been tempted to walk up to him and ask him what the hell he's doing on my property. But snipper has always been there to stop me. I gave up deciding to stop worrying too much about Emilia prepping myself that everything was gonna be fine. Recently, I've been so worried about Emilia that it hurts and I don't even know why I'm this way.
Later in the evening, snipper came to tell me that the coast was clear to go out.
"And what did you do about the man "
"He left the premises two hours ago and he's been followed currently "
"Alright. Go get ready we're going out"
I dismissed him and equally got ready to go to the hospital while taking the documents with me.
When I got into the hospital, I noticed that it's like I haven't been here for so long whereas I was here five days ago.
I entered her room and she was glowing as ever. Looking like a sleeping beauty. I went to her side and removed the old lilies I bought before and arranged the new ones there.
After which I went to sit beside her to watch her. I've been staring at her for some time now not knowing what to do. Should I read it to her or what. I decided to just talk.
"Hey babe. I might not be the first person you want to see when you wake up. But I want you to know that I care for you so much and I have something in my possession you might want to know of. Its about your past Emilia "
I thought my head was playing tricks on me when I saw her eyes twitch. In a millisecond she was staring at me with eyes wide open.
"First of all why are you here? Were you sent by your boss to finish me up"
"No no no...not at all. Before all that let me inform the doctor that you're awake"
"Don't "
"Why, he needs to check you up"
I stood up and took long strides out but she stopped me
"I said don't"
What is wrong with this girl, doesn't she care for her health
"And if I insist "
"I would tell everyone you were the one that kidnapped me"
Oh God see what my dad has subjected me to. I would never kidnap someone. And slowly I went back to my seat
"Why are you doing this? Is your health not important to you?"
"Don't even bother yourself I WAS NEVER IN COMMA "
