Chapter 44
But Andrew, you know I am really sorry. I was ready to be a good man, make Ahmed for my mistakes. I was ready to change for the better, for her and the babies. I was ready to do anything Andrew. Why would she do this to me now” Alfred said as tears slid down his cheeks.
Andrew sat beside him and hugged him tightly.
“I know Alfred and we are going to find her. I promise ” Andrew said in a reassuring tone.
Just then Andrew heard his phone rings. He quickly answered the phone call.
“Sir we found something ”
“Ok I’ll be there in a jiffy” Andrew said and quickly ended the call.
“What happened?” Alfred asked
“Common let’s go, it’s about Lisa” Andrew said and Alfred nodded in response.

Alfred, Andrew , the commissioner of police and some other parties are seen standing on the bridge looking around.
“Sir, the last place she was seen was here and according to an eye witness . She jumped off the bridge. She committed sucide” The police said and Andrew swallowed hard.
“Jumped off this bridge?” Alfred said and almost lost his balance but Andrew was quick enough to hold him.
“Alfred, are you alright?” Andrew asked worriedly
“I’m okay” he said and Andrew nodded.
“Sir, it’s been two days since she jumped into the water and I’m sure no one rescued her which means she must be dead” the commissioner said and Andrew shot him a deadly glare.
“She’s not dead. I know it and I can feel it. She’s still alive. Just find her” Alfred said and with that he walked away from the scene.
“We are trying our best sir” the commissioner said to Andrew and he nodded.
“I know. Did you find any dead bodies?” Andrew asked.
“No! But my men are still searching the areas , if we find anything we would let you know” he said and Andrew nodded and was about to leave when the commission said something that made him pause.
“I’m sure the victim is already dead. I would advise Mr Alfred to close this case” he said and Andrew turned to him , stared at him for some seconds and without saying another word he left. There he met Alfred standing by the car with a necklace in his hands.
He remembered that necklace Alfred had bought as a suprise for Lisa but now she’s gone missing and everyone assumes she’s dead.
Andrew stared at Alfred in pity. When he thought everything was going to be perfect in his life again. When he thought he was going to find that happiness and peace of mind he’s been craving for years. When he thought he was finally going to have a family of his own, now this is happening.
He knows how heartbreaking Alfred must be. He wouldn’t even accept the fact that Lisa was already dead. He believes she’s still alive.
Andrew sighed softly and moved towards Alfred who had seen him already.
“I bought this necklace for her,” Alfred said and gave out a sad smile.
“I was so happy Andrew. I was going to have children. I was going to become a father? And I was ready to be a changed man for her sake and that of my children.
I was ready to do anything” he paused, staring at the necklace.
“I tried my best to make sure she saw that this time things were going to be different but my best wasn’t enough ” he said as tears slipped down his cheeks to the necklace in his hands.
“Alfred ” Andrew called in a pitiful tone. He felt tears gathered in his eyes.
“I prepared all the documents of her father’s property. I was ready to give her everything she’d lost even though I wouldn’t be able to bring back her mother”. He cried and held the necklace so tight in his hands.
“Alfred” Andrew called trying to console him but he just wasn’t strong enough, he burst into tears.
“Why I’m I so unlucky Andrew? I lost everyone I love in my life. I lost my mom, grandma, and now Lisa and my babies” he laughed out tears.
“Andrew, I thought I was going to be happy again. The void and space I felt deep down in my heart was about to be filled. Every fucking thing was about to be fine again, I thought. But I was wrong. I am wrong” he shook his head and turned to Andrew who hasn’t said a word since and has been crying.
“I can never find happiness Andrew, it’s just the bitter truth” he said and Andrew shook his head.
“No Alfred, you’re wrong. You’ll find happiness . You’ll” Andrew said trying to console home.
“Why I’m I so unlucky ” he yelled and threw a punch at his car.
“Alfred ” Andrew called and hugged him so tight.
