CHAPTER 49

Casabella’s POV
“I can’t believe he has the guts to even think of selling my own company. Let's see how he’s going to do that when we meet tomorrow.” I went through the photos of him and the buyer.
“Do you have a plan to stop him?” He enquired which brought a smile to my face.
“Yes, I do. You don’t have to worry about anything.” I assured him.
“Okay. I will leave you to enjoy your meal.”
“Please, join me.”
“No ma’am. I’m okay.” He disagreed.
“I insist, take a seat, please.” I urged him as he took a seat opposite me.
"Tomorrow morning we're going to meet someone first before paying a visit to my uncle." I added, and took a bit of cobb salad to my mouth.
"As you say Miss Casabella." He replied.
"Remember, I'm not Casabella anymore but Madison Williams. Please don't let your guard off when we meet with my uncle or anyone."
"I'm sorry, I forgot but I will keep that in mind." He apologised and I nod in response as we eat in silence.
After the dinner, I walked back to the room and remembered I hadn't called Mr Williams to inform her of my arrival.
I took out the phone which was given to me by Mr Williams, saying it's the phone of the woman's face I am using.
I picked the phone on the nightstand and dialled her number which was already saved as Mrs Williams by her husband.
I'm really curious to know how she's related to them. Could she be their daughter since there's a striking resemblance in their faces or she's just closely related to them? I'm not really sure except if I ask about her myself but that will be when I am done with my uncle, Lora and Annie.
"Hello, good evening Mrs Williams."
"My darling. Good evening. I thought you would be sleeping by now."
"Not yet. I'm sorry I forgot to call when we arrived." I apologised.
"I understand. Norman already told us. I guess you were tired, that's why but it's all right."
"I was a bit but I'm working on something right now."
"Okay dear but don't stay long, okay."
"I won't."
"Alright. Let me leave you to continue with your work. I'll call you tomorrow morning." She suggested.
"Okay. Thank you."
"You're welcome dear. Good night."
"Good night." I responded and disconnected the call and resumed my search on the laptop on the address godfather gave me to find him. I just hope he's still there because I will go meet him tomorrow.
MORNING
Mark's POV
"Good morning brother." Rosy uttered the moment I walked towards them in the dining room.
"Good morning little sis." I responded and took my seat at the centre.
"Good morning buddy." Alex greeted with a smirk.
I know he's up to something whenever he makes that look.
"Morning Alex. I know that look, just spill the shit out."
"Alright, you got me. I was thinking why don't we take a little vacation before the engagement." He said holding hands with Rosy who was smiling.
I can't ruin things for her even if I want to. I'm sure it's his thinking on the stupid vacation but I will only accept not to make Rosy feel bad.
"Fine! But it's only for a week. I know it's really your plan on such things."
"Come on bro. I'm doing it to make my woman happy." He grinned.
"Thanks babe. You're the sweetest of all and the best." She screamed and pecked him on the lips.
"Anything for my love." He moaned out and kissed her.
"That's okay guys. Don't get me irritated with your acts. You both can get a room if you want." I yelled sternly and they pulled away.
"Good." I added as we dug into our breakfast in total silence.
They really don't know how I feel when they do such things in my presence. I do remember Casabella and wish she's here with me and we're both the ones doing it.
I don't think I can ever move on in my life without her. I have to keep searching for her no matter what the outcome will be.
Casabella's POV
I was all dressed up in a red lace dress with my hair dropped to my shoulders and a black heels with a black bag to match the dressing.
I stare at my new reflection which I have decided to embrace and live just like the owner of the face. I will show Andrew and his concubines most especially Lora, I won't let go of that woman until she suffers a lot before I can let go of her.
This is a new life and lifestyle to live my real dream but I must clear those unwanted elements out of my way and that's Andrew and his family for good.
I took my phone from the night stand along with godfather's business card and address before strolling downstairs.
"Are you ready Miss Madison?" Norman asked as I approached him waiting in the living room.
"Yes." I answered as we headed outside the mansion to see the cars ready with bodyguards waiting for us.
"Where are you going?" He enquired.
"1 Brewster St Glen Cove. Can you locate the address and have the driver take us there?"
"Yes, I can. Let's proceed." He commented and opened the door to the limousine for me and I got in while he joined the driver in the passenger seat as the cars took off.
In less than an hour we arrived at the address. It was a very big mansion painted in brown and cream colour.
"This is the address, Miss Madison." Norman stated and I nod in response.
"Tell the guard, we're here to meet Henry Peterson." I said to Norman who did as he was told and the guard opened up the gate.
He got out of the car first and opened up the door for me which I got out without wasting time and strolled inside with him by my side.
We walked in and met my loving godfather in a discussion with a man with a bald head who I remembered from the party that complimented me on my looks. He was looking slender and unhappy. I'm sure it's as a result of my situation but I am back for him.
I really miss my real face but it's gone and there's nothing I can do about it. He would have recognized me instantly but I will still have to tell him who I am and however the new face looks good and beautiful on me more which I have a great advantage to make my uncle's life crumble.
"Good morning Mr Henry." I greeted him politely along with the man.
"Good morning young lady. What can I do for you?" He asked in a low tone.
I was about introducing myself as Madison when the bald man told him they will have to postpone their discussion another day and left.
"My name is Madison Williams, a friend to Casabella Smith." I answered him with a smile which shocked him.
"How's that possible? Casabella never had any friends." He asked.
"She did but if you can have a private space, I will discuss the matter with you."
"Alright. Let's go to my study chamber." He agreed.
I felt bad he's in this condition due to my problem but everything will be cleared right now.
"Wait here Norman." I stated and he nodded in response while I trailed behind him to his study room.
We arrived at the study as he urged me to take a seat on the sofa behind him.
"I'm listening dear. How did you know my address and how do you know Casabella?" He inquired.
I took a long deep breath brainstorming either to reveal myself to him or just go on to answer his questions.
"Casabella told me a lot about you and also we have been best friends right from kids."
"Really? Then where were you all those times when she needed help the most? Were you aware her uncle was treating her badly along with his wife?" He requested.
"I was aware but she told me not to do anything about it. I do visit her secretly, that's how I found out about it and also about you."
"Are you also aware she's missing now and that son of a bitch is saying she ran away."
"Yes, I am aware that's why I am here."
"Do you know I love her so much, like my child? I did tell her to leave that house but she insisted on getting revenge on Lora, that evil witch which I know must have done something to her." He broke down in tears.
Instantly I felt hurt seeing how he loves me so much and how my sudden disappearance has turned him into a weak man.
"I'm sorry about that."
"It's alright. I'd searched every corner of the state for her but it just seemed impossible to find. I really miss her so much, I should have protected like a real father would do for his daughter but I let her down."
"You did the best you could, sir. I'm sure she's in a safe place right now."
"We can't be sure. I just wish Andrew will be punished along with his wife, Lora and their spoiled brat, Annie." He gritted his teeth in anger.
"That's why I am here to make them pay."
"How?" He asked, looking lost.
This is the right time to reveal myself to him. I'm sure he's going to be shocked.
"What if I tell you the girl you're missing is the same girl you're staring at you right now?"
