Chapter 49 - Dropping the bomb (1/2)
Tristan was dumbfounded by the news and even more stunned when she actually hung up the phone. He was static for a second before dialing her number again but only to be rejected. He tried again and again but still the same rejection. The frown on his forehead just keep getting deeper as the people around him start to feel suffocated with the heavy weather that he brought up. He brought up storm that is soon to be turn to hurricane. Ralph felt like strangling his sister for the millionth times. While others felt the same way they could only silently endure the whole thing. Anything to do with Alicia, it will always be something troublesome.
”Urmmm,,,i got her location. She's in X city for the conference like she said she would.” Ralph, like always had to stop the stifling air getting worse brave himself to stop Tristan from bringing killing them with his domineering aura. He thought that would do. But who knows he will be attack with eyes like a dagger stabbing straight to his heart.
”She's not there.” Tristan spoke out those words but his hand still trying to call his little devil only to have the same answer. He was relentless. He even use everyone's phone without asking their permission but it was futile. It never rung. At least when he uses his number, it rung once before he got rejected. He shouldn't have trust his little devil too much. If he knew this would happen, he would definitely drag his devil wife everywhere he goes. Being apart from him, worries him. Now, she's dropping such a huge bomb through the phone call and before he could say anything she hung up on him. He dialed another number. It was the head bodyguard that he place on her secretly. But after hearing his report, he knew one thing about his devilish wife. She's not just a doctor. To be able to slipped herself away from his top bodyguard, she's doing something that he doesn't want to think off. He should have sent his elite team to 'watch over' his wife.
”What do you mean she's not there?” Ralph still wasn't satisfied with his answer. And he got another deadly stare from him. He must have eaten bear guts to be able to risk his life by asking his sister's whereabouts. He somehow felt he's going to have a massive headache.
”She's pregnant.” Just like Alicia, he dropped the news abruptly before he turn on his laptop and start typing furiously. His mission? To find the wild devilish wife who's on the loose.
As expected, the others had the same reaction as him, only it took them a long while to recover. Especially Ralph who finally explode as he too, furiously typing on the laptop. His sister's whereabouts is more important than any other question that lingers on his mind. He joined forces with Tristan, detecting the caller id that Alicia used but surprisingly it suddenly became untraceable. He felt defeated. Tristan clasped his fingers together and let his chin rest on top of it as he thought it through. He turned to Grey who's feeling anxious all of the sudden. Being stared by Lucifer is like you're about to meet your death god.
”Wh..what are staring at me for? I had nothing to do with this.” He stammered his words out.
Tristan still kept quiet making everyone also turned their attention to Grey. He felt like a convict.
”You have Farrah's phone number?” Tristan finally speak up after couple of minutes of intimidating stare.
”Yyy,,yeah. Why?” He asked cautiously.
”Call her.” Tristan ordered.
”You do realize it's late. And almost dawn. She's probably sleeping. Just because your wife isn't sleeping at this hour doesn't mean Farrah is doing the same thing.” He defended Farrah unconsciously. He doesn't believe that sweet tempered Farrah would be like his sister nor Alicia. She's the most quiet one among the group. So, there's no way he's going to disturb her sleeping.
”Call he.” Once again Tristan ordered only this time his voice became colder and harsh. Grey gulped hard and took out his phone as he dialed Farrah's number.
”Put it on loud speaker.” Again, Tristan demand him to obey.
