RESTLESS
LEO'S POV
I was awaken again by the loud buzz from my phone which was just at the edge of my bed. I sigh angrily and ignored it just like the knock but the caller kept on calling non-stop, I became mad and took my phone to turn it off. With my eyes partly opened, I glanced at the caller, it was Jack. I wondered why he was calling me by this time, after much deliberation I decided to pick up considering the manner in which he had been calling, it must be something important.
"Jack! Why "
" Where is clara? Have you seen the news? Put on your television now! I just hope Clara is save" Jack interrupted me the moment I was about to question him. He made mention about Clara being safe which frightened me and I ran to get the remote and put on the television which had been in my room just for decoration because I barely watch it. I was devastated in the state I saw Clara in, she looked scared, sad and confused as the reporters rushed to her asking her questions. Blood was dripping from her arms. I read the headline and saw that it was an unknown Mafia that attacked, I picked up my phone and dialed my body guard number, he picked up immediately although his voice sounded like he was asleep.
"Find out the name of the Mafia that attacked today, I need feedback tomorrow" I told him nearly shouting because I was angry and restless. It is the first time I am feeling this worried and scared for someone after I lost Elisa.
" Mafia? What Mafia" He asked.
"Find out! " I screamed at him, he was about to say something but I ended the call. I was so confused at the moment, thinking about where Clara might possibly be but nothing was coming to my head because I knew nothing about her. Worst of all I didn't even have her number. I was pacing round the room as I kept on thinking of where to start with looking for Clara. The only person that would have known something about her would be Mrs. Kate but she wasn't around and I can't call her to ask her about Clara's home address, number or anything that might just connect me to her and her family. "Where did she even go to without telling me? " I soliloquized as I ran my hands through my hair, leaving it there for some minutes before I began to pace around the room again with my hand folded at my back. My mind flashed back to the video and I remembered that the road seemed familiar, she must have been coming back. I stormed out of my room, running down the stairs hurriedly. I pushed the kitchen door with force, frightening the maids that were there, I demanded to know where Clara was and if she was back, but they kept on looking at me like confused fool. I felt like strangling each of them but I didn't have the time to do so now. Some of them were smiling, as usual they might have probably thought she was in trouble, I couldn't imagine how she had been able to survive staying among these people who were capable of killing her if they were opportune to. Since they were all acting dumb and I also didn't have the time to punish or threaten them, I ran to the other door and headed for the maids quarter. Some of the maids followed me from a distance but I ignored them. Everyone I passed were all surprised to see me there as I have never step foot in here before, today was my first day and it is all because of Clara.
"What am I doing?" I asked myself, having the urge to just stop looking for Clara but I wasn't able to. I began to open each door one after the door, not minding if anyone was inside. The ones that were locked I forced them open there by spoiling them, I kept on doing this until one the maid shouted "Sir, this is Clara's room" I didn't know who said it and I didn't bother to find out. Thankfully the room was open and I entered into it and closed the door because I didn't want any of the maid inside the room. The room was dark so I turned on the light. Lo and behold I found Renata lying on the bed naked staring at me, I couldn't believe my eyes. The question I asked myself was why she was doing this but there was no answer, she must be joking to think she can seduced me. For a moment it seemed like I was in the wrong room and that this was all planned, not until I was about to leave and saw Clara uniform hung on the wall. I moved hurriedly to her bed and began to go through her stuff hoping to see at least her number or her home address but I didn't find anything. I going through her wardrobe when I felt a hand on my shoulder massaging me gently, I knew it was Renata. I had ignored her before because I didn't have the time and hoped to punish her later, now she has crossed the line. She began to move to my front showing off her nakedness and smiling mischievously, I pushed her to the ground immediately and she fell hitting her head on Clara's bed, she was lucky not to hit her head on the wood.
" You Slut! You think you can seduce me with this? I see you don't like you job but there is no problem, I know where you can work and get raped anytime. I took out my phone from my back pocket and called my guard to meet me at the maids quarter. She started crying but I ignored her as I went through Clara's book which were well arranged but I scattered them. Renata immediately ran to put on her cloth and sat on her bed crying profusely like I raped her. I saw a diary and opened immediately, she hadn't written much in it, just about two pages. It might be her new diary since I was with the other one. "Yes, her diary! " I screamed and was about to leave but my body guard entered immediately and I instructed him to put Renata in the torture room and that by tomorrow, she should be taken to continue her job as a maid in the place where we had our Mafia meeting earlier today. Most of our mafia member lived there so there were lot of maid there and more were still needed. The maids were treated harshly and were often raped on a daily basis, that place was hell for them and Renata would learn her lesson there. By now she was crying profusely, begging me spare and that she was going to change but I didn't listen to her dumb plead
I got to my room and brought out Clara diary, I was happy when I found her address on it. I tore that part out and took my car key from my drawer and stormed out of my room. My body guard requested to follow me but I disagreed as I wanted to go alone. I got to the gate and honk at the security guard to open up, when they did I saw someone lying on the floor, I couldn't tell who it was but when I saw the hair, Clara came into my mind. I dashed out of my car and ran to the person, it was Clara she wrapped one of her arm around herself while kept the other one straight because of the injury. "Was she sleeping " I thought while I kept on looking at her with relief. I bent down and carried her on my arm and she opened her eyes and tried began to scream for help, trying to free herself. "Ssh, it me Clara. You are safe okay? " She turned her head and looked round before looking at me, she rested her head on my chest and closed her eyes.
