Search for Sophie..
RYAN’S POV.
” I will find her.”I mumbled as I let go of Tana’s embrace. I was not going to give up the search for Sophie and dismiss the possibility of being the father of the little girl. Seeing the child spurred an eagerness to find Sophie because the child with Tana was not mine; I needed to find my blood, and if the child was with Sophie, I needed to find her.
I figured it was better to hire a private investigator for the search, so I looked through my phone and found one online and messaged him.
“I need to find someone urgently.” I typed on my phone and sent the message to the number I had gotten off Facebook. It took a while and then he responded and agreed to take on the job.
“Send the picture of her so I can get to work.” As I read his text message, a sudden realization hit me, I did not have her picture. ” I will send you the pictures as soon as I have it.” I texted him back and went to lay on the bed.
” How was I supposed to get a picture of Sophie?” I quired myself as I laid beside Tana unable to sleep. She turned to myself and she held on to me so tightly. ” What was going to happen to her after this.” I muttered to myself as I watched her. I concluded that I didn’t care about whatever happened. I did not have a child with her and besides she has been lying about everything since our marriage and I was not about to ruin my life for her.
As I watched her, an idea came to my mind. Sophie had similarities to Karl’s wife so I decided to use her picture instead and searched through the pictures from the party. ” Found it!!” I exclaimed as I saw the picture and Tana stired in the bed. I realised I had spoken too loudly and covered my mouth with my hands while watching her, hoping she would not wake up.
As soon as I noticed shs had dozed off again, I sent the photo to him, I smirked happy with what I had been able to achieve and hoped that I found her with all his expertise and resources.
I hoped they would uncover any leads or information that would bring me closer to finding Sophie. Determined and fueled by hope, I provided the investigator with all the details I had, from the last time I had seen her with a child to all the potential connections she had. I laid o the bed satisfied with what I had done.
By the morning, I got a message from the investigator, it seemed he had diligently began his work as soon as I had messaged combing through every piece of information I provided. He dug into Sophie’s background, contacting her friends and family members to gather any possible leads and informed me of his every step in his message.
Few days afterwards, I received a call from the investigator with an unexpected breakthrough. “I found her!!” My heart momentarily stopped upon hearing what he said. ” I can not believe it.” I mumbled as my heart raced eagerly listening to the details.
” I managed to locate her house. We could go see her together if you want.” he added.
” Of course, I have waiting patiently for this piece of good news.” I responded and he gave me the detail of where I had to meet him.
I raced out to meet with him immediately, Tana was not home. so I had to do little of no explanation for why I rushed out of the house the way I did. My heart raced as I wondered how the conversation with Sophie would be, it was going to be fine anyway. I reassured myself as I drove and I arrived at the meet point.
” Hop into the car.”I said as I got to where he was and drove away as he got in. We drove to meet her at the house. As we knocked on the door, my heart raced and a young man came out the door to answer us. I glanced at him as he walked out the door. He appeared shabbily clad and unkempt.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Was Sophie married?” I asked as I opened the door, “What do you want here?” He enquired as he opened the door, chewing gum briskly. I wondered who he was, and after a time, the investigator introduced us as Sophie’s friends and wanted to see her.
” We are friends of Sophie. Can we please see her? He said, and the man glanced us over before responding. “There is no Sophie here.” He responded, and I wondered what he meant: the investigator had confirmed Sophie’s presence in the house.
Despite the man’s denial, something deep inside told me that Sophie was indeed inside this house. There was an air of secrecy surrounding his actions that made my instincts scream louder than ever before.
Without hesitation, I took a step closer to him and spoke with unwavering conviction in my voice, “I don’t believe you. Show us where Sophie is right now or else things will get complicated.” He hesitated for a moment before I pushed him out fo the way and as the door opened, we rushed into the room. ” Babe, who is at the door.” we heard someone said as she came out to where we were.
The room was dimly lit, and as we entered, I could feel a sense of anticipation in the air. There she was, her eyes wide with fear and confusion. She looked exhausted, as if she had been through hell and back. My heart broke at the sight of her fragile state. She did not seem like Sophie I had meet previously.
My heart ached as I approached her her eyes filled with fear and confusion. She looked worn out, like she had been through unimaginable hardships. “Sophie,” I whispered softly, my voice trembling with emotion. She looked up at me, ” I am not Sophie!! How dare you barch into my house. I am calling the Cops if you don’t leave this minute. She screamed and I realized I had made a mistake, this was not Sophie and turned to the investigator with a frown.
” I apologise, I was mistaken, please dont call the cops we would leave now.”I said as I looked at the investigator again as we turned to leave. The man who had opened the door pushed us out of the house and slammed the door at our faces.
“I thought you were good at the job.” I sighed as we exited, all my hope dashed as we returned to where we had started.
” Why did she look so much like Sophie? Or was she Claire?” I muttered as I thought about her. ” Nah. It can’t be.’ I whispered again as I got into my car.
