ALEX AND SAM CONVERSE

Following him doing as he said, ten minutes after we left from by the supermarket. Alex see him put on his indicator, as a large gate slides open and he drive in.

Seeing he stop for a minute to ensure I was inside then the gate close and he continue to drive.

The building was huge as we drive to the back. Ken park up then signal me to do the same, there was so much parking space, almost twenty vehicles could park comfortable.

When he pressed a button, a door opens only to realize that it was an elevator.

Stepping inside feeling his hand wet with sweat, and his forehead seems to be cold sweating.

Taking his handkerchief he wipe his face then his hand seeing Ken smiling as he said,. "Will you just relax, they are very nice people, and you will like them a lot."

When Ken rest his hand in his trying to reassure him before he pressed the buzzer, "Will you just relax."

When the door open Alex admires this beautiful woman standing with a big smile as she reach out and hug Ken, "Hi Maria."

"Ken, my son it is so nice to see you."

Seeing how graceful she moves and her hair was milk white and neatly comb. Hearing her say, "Hi Alex, I am Maria."

"I am so glad I finally get to meet you."

"No, Alex the pleasure is all mine, now Ken, will you go and get Sam from his room?"

"Ma'am, this house is so extraordinary."

"Thanks, I enjoy designing."

"Are you an interior designer, Ma'am?"

"No, I am a Massage therapist." Alex notices the way she smile as if she takes pleasure in doing that job.

"I see," Alex wonder, 'If she is the one Diandra get to messaged her foot?'

"Now, please come in."

Alex observed how spacious the house was, thinking, 'If all the furniture's were shifted to the wall, it will be so huge and can easily accommodate between fifty to sixty people comfortable without any hitch.'

Admiring the tiles and the wall, it is almost similar to the ones Diandra selected for his home. The walls were painted in beige, and the cream and gold valances were just fantastic."

"You look stunned."

"I am, it is just so fascinating how all the colors blend in so nicely, did you do all of this by yourself?"

"No a friend assisted me by choosing the paint and the curtains."

Turning towards her, "Tell me something, why is it after three and a half months you decided to meet me?"

"You sound hurt and angry, but please don't be, from what Ken told me you care a lot for Dee.

We know she was visiting a friend but we never get a name and an address. Thanks to Ken we found out with some persuasion."

"But it is over three and a half months?"

"I am really sorry, but we only found out recently."

"What are you talking about?"

At that moment Ken and Sam enters the hall. Turning around to the sound of the wheel chair. Alex stood in awe as he takes in the elderly gentleman from head to toe.

His hair was completely grey, he was in his late seventies, well built and his face had a smile just as how Maria greeted him.

When Ken step in front of Sam saying as he swerve his hand indicating Sam. But Sam extend his hand towards him saying, "I am Sam Mac Fallon."

Shaking his hand as I respond, "I am Alexander Mellford." Alex observed the way he close his eyes as though he was in pain but he just said.

"Please have a seat, Ken I need you and Maria to give me ten minutes of privacy, Mr. Mellford will you like a drink?"

"No thanks."

"Then please have a seat my neck is already paining looking up to you."

Observing Sam waited for Maria and Ken to leave the hall and was out of ear shot then he whispers, "Mr. Mellford I need to get some answers?"

"So, do I Sir."

"Mr. Mellford."

"Please Sir, you can call me Alex."

"We can leave that formalities for later, right now I need to know the truth. Mr. Mellford when I went on my vacation in April, you employ my daughter."

Alex thought to himself, 'So what she said about Sam adopting her is true. "

"Tell me how did you come to know my daughter?"

"We are friends."

"Okay, I am willing to accept that answer for now, so can you tell me what happen during her stay at your place?"

"What has she told you Sir?"

'Not wanting to respond to anything that will make her angry.' "The truth is I don't believe the story she told me, but I will repeat what she told me."

"Okay, I am listening."

"Mr. Mellford she said that the both of you are friends, and you employed her to remain in your house, while the interior designer work."

"Sir, everything she told you is the truth, so what is it that you don't believe?"

"Then kindly explain to me Mr. Mellford, because I want to believe whatever you are going to tell me will be the honest truth.

Now explain to me why is my child so sad since her return, and also why she is pregnant, do you know that she is a married woman?"

"Sir, I am aware that she is married, and I am very sorry she had you worried. You may not know this but I have been searching for her since she leaves my home.

I even visited every Church around the town here knowing she attends her Church service on Sunday's.

Sir, for the last three and a half months I have been very worried but I am of the opinion she doesn't want me to find her."

"Maybe she doesn't, that is why I sent for you, earlier you said your name is Alexander Mellford, do you know my grandson name is Joash Alexander Mellford?"
