Chapter 12- Right That Minute!
"Girl! You are being paranoid!" Flint whispered to Marissa because the kids were sleeping in the nearby room, "Why do you think that man was observing Ariel?"
"Because he found her cute!" Before Marissa could speak, Sophia interrupted them while her eyes were still on the laptop screen.
Flint snapped his fingers and nodded, "Exactly. Rafael is in Sangua. You are here in Kanderton managing your catering business. Why Rafael will even bother to set foot here when his billion-dollar industry is doing just fine back home? There is nothing for him in Kanderton city."
Marissa was rubbing her hands in anxiety. Her heart was sinking with each passing minute.
"What if someday Rafael comes at my door and demands to meet my kids then what will I do, Flint?"
The sound of the laptop shutting made her sit straight in her seat. Sophia’s eyes were blazing with rage, "If that moron will be standing there then he won’t be meeting that timid Marissa but a successful entrepreneur. Has your brain slipped into your knees, Marissa?" Sophia had a disgusted face. She was not liking the weak side of her friend.
"What if he tries to snatch them?" she asked quietly, and they knew what she was talking about.
"Then just show him your middle finger, girl!" Sophia spat and Marissa closed her eyes. That man in the supermarket seemed fishy. The way he looked at Ariel and then tried to make conversation at the cash counter, Marissa didn’t know what to do.
She wanted to keep her kids safe and was no longer interested in Rafael. Kids’ lives could easily be in danger if Nina or Valerie would come to know about their existence.
