Hadyn had had his housekeeper go all out to make sure that the night was going to be romantic and chilled. The table had been set for 2 with candles in the centre. The room was dimly lit and a chef he had paid to come to the house was working on the 3 course menu for them that evening.

He looked at the ring in the box, this wasn't an engagement or eternity ring but a gift to tell her that she was special to him and that he was willing to go the distance to see how they panned out, with maybe even more rings in the future.

He had so much he wanted to talk to her about, he had made his mind up in recent days that she was where his heart was and he was ready to make a commitment.

"... have you heard from Lucia?." Tamia asked Raphael.

"She's probably at Haydn's now... when I spoke to him earlier, he said that she was staying the night with him."

"Well, she is not answering her phone. I have tried her several times today..."

Raphael called Haydn. "Sup man." Haydn said picking up.

"Is Lucia with you?."

"No.. i'm expecting her in about an hour.. why?."

"Ion know she's quiet today... she's not answering her phone, she's not at Durrell's anymore. She left there earlier today to head to the office. But I've not been able to get in touch with anyone at the office to find out if she's still there..."

"I know a few people at the Leaford's office I can give them a call and find out.." he said.

Raphael looked at Tamia. "She'll be fine.. she shouldn't have anyone coming for her now the main instigators of that are gone.." he said but now the seed had been planted and he was beginning to question his own words.

Tamia watched Raphael walk out of the room starting to make calls to see if anyone who knew her had seen her since this morning. She chewed her lip and as he was out of the room she took out her cell from her pocket. She had a text from Kingston.

K
I still haven't heard anything yet! I'm not playing with you, Tamia. I meant what I said.

She deleted the message and carried on seeing to her kids. She knew this was going to blow up in her face at some point and she's so desperately wanted to talk to Lucia that she was irked that her niece had not come home at all or spoken to her all day, today of all days when she needed to be in contact with her the most.

"... wake up mother fucker!." Kingston said kicking his brothers leg as he sprawled across the sofa in his hotel room napping.

Dion sat up. "What time is it...

 "What time is it
