Chapter 13- His Life
"So, what’s the catch here?" Rafael asked after hugging his friend who was looking after his Kanderton branch office.
He had just gotten down from his private jet and couldn’t wait for some positive progress. Joseph shook his head when saw an army of uniformed bodyguards following him closely.
All this time Rafael’s investigators had been expressing their concerns that Sophia and Marissa didn’t bother to go to the airport and left the city by road. That was the reason their records were missing from airport security records.
Now all of them had been active when Joseph told him about the girl he saw in the superstore.
"I’m one hundred percent sure that she was Marissa. Her hair was longer than the picture you showed me. She was not as slim but the little girl accompanying her... my God! You should have seen... she was a spitting image of her aunt Valerie."
There was a stark difference between Marissa and Valerie. Valerie was slim, bony, and was through and through a blond while Marissa was a brunette with black eyes with a curvy figure that used to fill her dresses in all the right places.
Rafael’s heart skipped a beat. He had a daughter?
Oh, how he wanted to get to Marissa in a jiffy.
"I asked this investigator to meet me in my hotel room." He told Joseph while walking to the car.
"Hotel room?" Joseph looked at his friend as if he had gone crazy,
"Yeah, I know." Rafael brushed his fingers through his hair while getting into the car, "I’m already late in reaching here. I remember you, asking me three years back to get here but Valerie had a nervous breakdown, and I couldn’t leave her side. If I’m wrong about Marissa, then maybe it was Valerie who was with me when I was blind."
