After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Dom

We have been driving for close to thirty minutes. I was already getting impatient and tense waiting for us to get there. I’m so worried about my Tana, I just pray someone saves her, else I might lose my mind.

“Calm down Dom, we are going to find her I promise” Viper assured squeezing my shoulder, I nodded and gave him a brotherly smile, we finally got to the place and came down from the car, this place look remote and undeveloped, should I say that it looked more like a rural area

It’s a small village, or should I say a small neighborhood where people lived freely without worry, the sunset in this place is good, and kids can be seen running around and playing beside the river while we older men are fishing in the middle of the sea,

Should I say that people that live in the place have the highest peace of mind, and they are the happiest, at least they don’t have people that’s chasing them or people they are running away from.

Some elderly people sat together chatting freely, while some were busy marketing their small businesses,

“Wow this place is one of a kind” Viper muttered as he looked around the whole place,

“It’s looks like a peaceful environment”

“Now I understand what they mean by the least money you have the happier you are,” Viper said gesturing at the elderly people that are talking and laughing like they had no problems at all

“I know right?” I said looking at him

“I can’t remember the last time I smiled like that” I added

“Two years ago,” Viper saidNôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Hmmm, before the devil came into our lives”

“Where should we start the search?” Viper asked,

“Honestly I don’t know but if she’s here I don’t think it will be so hard for us to find her cause this is a small village”

“You have Tana’s picture in your phone right?” Viper asked and I nodded, I pulled out my phone as we started walking around showing people pictures to know if anyone recognized or saw her,

“Please ma have you seen this face around?”

“Sorry I haven’t”

“Please have you seen this face around?”

“No,”

“Please have you see this face, sir”

“No, not at all”

The weather was getting dark, we have been walking around for almost two hours, and yet there is no sign of Tana and nobody believe they have seen her, at this point, I don’t know what I was doing anymore, I feel like I will lose my mind or go berserk the thought of losing Tana is what I don’t even want to think about.

“Come on Dom, don’t just give up, you have to be strong for Tana, let’s ask those kids playing by the river,” Viper said pointing towards the river,

“Hey kid, have you guys seen this face?”

“Ye…..”

“Shhh……” The young girl beside the little boy shut him up

“No uncle we haven’t,”

I looked at Viper and he signaled for us to press further maybe they know something

“Please kid, this person is really important to me please”

“Get away from us uncle, we don’t know who you’re talking about, grandpa….!” The little girl screamed and took her little brother’s hand as they ran towards an old man coming from the sea

“Why is that man looking at us like that?” Viper whispered beside me,

“Maybe we should ask him?” I said to Viper

“Hmm, let’s go”

We got to the old man and he wanted to walk past us

“Good day sir” Viper and I greeted and bowed respectfully

“Hmm,” He nodded and walked away,

“Sir, can you please give us a minute of your time please?”

“No,” He said and continue walking while we also followed behind pleading for him to stop, he was about to enter his small apartment when I suddenly went on my knees, at this point I was tired of everything

“Please sir just a minute of your time please,” I said with my two hands clasped together

“Please…..” Viper added

He looked at us with that fatherly affection in his eyes

“Go on”

“Thank you, sir, I said happily and stood up, I brought my phone close to him

“Sir please have you seen her anywhere, she’s my wife, we were supposed to get married before she was kidnapped two years ago please sir” I pleaded

“I’m sorry but you’re not the first person that came looking for her, I don’t know where she is and I can’t help you”

“Please sir please” He ignored us and went into his house and slammed the door shut,

“Why do I feel like that man knows about Tana” Viper said, I was already tired at this point but one thing I know is that I’m not leaving this place, I sat down on the bare floor in front of the old man’s apartment, Viper sat beside me too

“What if he doesn’t accept that he knows about Tana?”

“Viper I don’t know but if I leave her I might end up burning down the whole of Keisha’s family, I might wreak havoc in her life and that will not end up well, instead of going berserk and breaking the promise I made to father, I rather stay here I don’t care how long I stay here but I know god might touch the old man’s heart to open the door for us,

“God please, I know that I’ve never prayed to you before, forgive me, father, please I need you to touch the old man’s heart so he can open the door for us and tell us if he knows my Tana or not, please god I promise to be the best husband to Tana please god, I’m going crazy already”

“It’s okay Dom, please we will find Tana” Viper consoled me

Lightning suddenly struck as heavy wind began to blow, the weather darkened

“Dom I think we should leave it’s going to rain”

“I’m not going anywhere without seeing my Tana”

The aiming started to poor heavily splashing on us, few minutes later we were already drenched and soaked in water, the rain kept pouring heavily while I just sat there, feeling like it’s the end of the world for me already, Viper tried shielding me with his body but the rain was too much,

I was shaking in cold but this rain is better than going back knowing my Tana is not going with me, the rain kept on pouring for hours, I was already weak, Viper was tired too and still, the rain refused to stop

The clicking sound of the door behind us got our attention and we turned to see the old man staring at us

“Come in,” He said to us, my eyes widened as I looked at Viper and he also have the same expression

“Come in,” He said again and without warning we both rushed into the house.
