Sexy, Seductive, and Sultry

”Where the fuck is she?!” The president yelled, angrily hitting a vase. They had been trying to find her for days and had been failing.

”Sir, it seems like she has someone helping her” The chief of security suggested.

“She has just two friends and they’re too dumb to be able to help her pull something as huge as this. She doesn’t have any other friends. I’ve put them under watch and they’re completely clueless about her whereabouts. Her guy manager is being watched throughout the day and he’s also useless. She’s too proud to have another friend who isn’t popular” Roberto replied.

“What about her new guard, I’m having a bad feeling about him, there’s just something about him that gives me chills” Andrea confessed.

“You’re thinking that way because he’s handsome. She hates him more than she hates me, and they don’t go along together, I doubt if she’ll ask him for help. But if it makes you happy, I’ll tell my guards to watch him” Roberto replied and Andrea nodded.

Andrea couldn’t tell why he didn’t like Alessandro.

”Probably because of his arrogant attitude and aura” Andrea concluded.

“Sir, you have a meeting with the press. Should I reschedule it for another time or just cancel the meeting?” Ann, Roberto’s secretary, informed.

“Let’s head to my office, I have a few things to take, tell the chauffeur to get the car ready.

Andrea, can you stay for a little while longer? Maybe you could help with a few things” Roberto requested.

“Yea, sure I’ll wait” Andrea answered and Roberto patted his back and left with Ann who was dressed in a blue tight skirt, with a suit and heels.

He entered his office and turned to the wall, using his hand to crease his brows, thinking deeply. She hugged his back and her hand crept to his chest.

“You should stop stressing yourself over that stupid daughter of yours when you have 2 great children already. She’s so spoiled and causes so much ruckus” Ann whispered as her hand roamed his chest and he removed it angrily.

“Never call her stupid, watch your words or you would be replaced, the walls could hear even the drop of a pin” He warned and she bowed her head, fuming with anger.

“I’m sorry sir” She whispered, he nodded and kissed her lips.

“Let’s get going already” He mumbled and she took his briefcase and together they left the office.

They used the private elevator and went to the underground parking lot where the driver and his mascots were waiting for him.

He entered the car with Ann and the driver sped off to the white Palace, where presidential meetings and discussions were held.

They were greeted with lots of reporters as guards had to create a barricade to enable them to pass.

He stepped out of the car, looked around and walked inside, ignoring reporters who struggled to get him to answer their questions.

He sat on his chair, cleared his throat.

”Greetings everyone. I welcome you all. Thank you so much for honoring my invitation” He called and they mumbled their replies, the large hall was half filled as just a few big reporters were allowed inside and plenty stood outside, cameras flicking as they all wanted to get the best view and images for their various companies.

“Good day Mr president, it’s been almost a week and Miss Isabelle hasn’t been found. Was she kidnapped or probably she eloped?” A female reporter whom he had pointed at inquired.

He wondered who informed the public about her disappearance and vowed to make the person regret it.

“I wouldn’t say she eloped. Isabelle is very stubborn but eloping would never come to her mind. She gets anything she wants, she doesn’t stress herself so why would eloping come to her mind?. And about being kidnapped that’s very impossible because she has trackers on each clothes she wears, even her hair band has trackers. To me this is a prank in order to see how we’ll react and also to get me to attend meetings like this, She’s probably somewhere with someone, I’m suspecting Andrea but I don’t wanna jump into conclusions”

“A prank sir? I’m sure she’ll be aware that the whole country is being turned upside down. Why can’t she just return home?. Isn’t this also a form of childishness? Her fans are out there praying and searching for her and She’s somewhere hiding” Another reporter said with disgust.

“Next question” Roberto cut off.

“She made a post before she went missing and lots of people are concerned, she was seen crying. Does this have to do with her disappearance and are you in any way involved? Some fans have speculated that you have hidden her, is that true?”

“I can’t hide my daughter, and I think I must have made her angry and she has decided to make me worry too much” Roberto responded with a sad smile.

“Is there anything going on between her and the prime minister?” A reporter quizzed.

“She’s the one who can answer that question. She didn’t give me any reply when I asked and I think it’s right for her to make everything known to the public herself”

“She was spotted with Alessandro, are you aware about his scandal? Aren’t you afraid that the same would happen to miss Isabelle?” A reporter countered.

“He’s her new guard and I know about his past. I trust my daughter, she would never do anything stupid, She’s disciplined” He boasted with pride.

“After the election, would she continue living here..?”

“My apologizes, I have another meeting” Roberto interrupted as he stood up and walked out with his escorts.

“Sir you don’t have any other meeting” Ann whispered when they entered the car.

“I know but I can’t keep still and watch them try to make a fool out of me, they’re very annoying” He replied and his phone beeped.

He checked it and it was a message from Isabelle.

“A PRANK HUH? HOW WOULD THE PUBLIC LIKE TO HOST AN ONLINE INTERVIEW WITH ME AND KNOW THE TRUTH?” He read out with anger and Ann held his shoulder.

“Calm down, I’ll talk to her” Ann suggested and collected the phone, she switched on the camera.

“Isabelle this is Ann, please listen to your dad and return home, he’s getting sleepless nights, the whole country is worried. His doctor has advised him to work from the house now as his blood pressure seems to be rising. You should get your social media accounts back, please come back home” Ann pleaded, trying hard to hide her disgust as she sent the video to Isabelle.

“Take me to the presidential palace” Roberto commanded and the driver made a turn. Roberto came out hastily and rushed inside. He saw the security staff typing on their keyboards furiously.

“Have you found anything? What’s happening?” Roberto questioned, standing beside the chief.

“Maybe but it changes every second. Before it was Spain, now it’s Italy, this is very confusing” The chief informed.

“What do you mean?” Roberto retorted with confusion, looking closely at the computer.

“A message was sent and we’re trying to track the IP address. But its location changes every second with over 200 countries and 4 continents. We can’t find the real address this way. They’re using it to distract us” The chief concluded and Roberto cursed under his breath.

“She doesn’t know anyone, how would she be able to pull this off so smoothly?” Roberto wondered aloud.

“It’s the guard, Alessandro. He’s a talented computer wizard, he knows about trackers and how to block them. I’m sure he put jammers in his house so it’ll not be trackable. Send guards to his house, let them turn it upside down, search everywhere and leave nothing unturned” Andrea suggested and reluctantly Roberto accepted and ordered his guards to go to Alessandro’s house.

Alessandro’s

“Shit” Alessandro cursed when he saw guards, he had been checking out the new camera he had installed outside his house.

“Oh my God, ISABELLE!” He gasped and ran to the sitting room.

“Get up now!” He ordered and she looked at him with confusion.

“Why, what’s wrong?” She questioned, still sitting.

“Come with me now, your father has sent his guards to check this place” He explained and took her hand, leading her to his room.

“Fuck, what are we gonna do?” She asked as they entered his room. He took her to his closet, removed a small rug and opened a little door on the ground.

“There’s food there, don’t come out until I tell you to. Take the laptop and come out when it’s midnight if you haven’t seen me” He instructed and pushed her inside then handed the laptop to her.

He closed the door and put the rug back, took a few breaths then walked out.

He walked to the sitting room, opened the door and the guards pushed him aside looking at him menacingly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Hello, what do you want?” He threaded lightly.

“We’re here to search the house, it’s either you comply or we would have to lock you up” The leader informed with a sneer and he stepped aside.

They all left for the rooms, except the leader who stared at him intently. The guards came back after some minutes.

“We can’t find anyone sir”

“Have you searched everywhere, closets, toilets, kitchens?” Their leader fired and they nodded.

“If that’s the case let’s leave” The leader instructed and as they turned, they heard a loud sound.

Alessandro almost collapsed as fear overwhelmed his body, with his heart in his mouth, he prayed that they didn’t find the door as their leader stormed to his room.

“What sound was that? Y’all heard it right?” He heard and he almost jumped, startled as he was lost in his thoughts.

“Wh.. what. What sound? I didn’t hear nothing” He stuttered letting out a deep breath when he saw the leader descend alone.

“The sound we heard earlier?”

“I don’t know, might be from my neighbor or someone outside who saw an animal, I’m confused here, who are you searching for please?” He requested, trying to look as timid as he could.

“Miss Isabelle, go check the whole surrounding”

“I assure you that if I see her, I’ll inform the president” Alessandro declared and the leader scoffed.

The guards walked inside, shaking their heads and together they left the house. Alessandro let out a deep breathe immediately they left.
