Contract Marriage With My Ex — Chapter 31. Where is Kiara?

The morning hushed in bringing in something that nobody could have anticipated! The sun gleamed in the early morning while the squawking of birds echoed in the context. The lights of the City Seattle was off as it was the weekend. The citizens peacefully stayed in the bed calling it a perfect Sunday.

Raven moved in the bed breathing deeply. His hands craved to touch her soft skin that provided him console. He roamed his hand on the side of the bed next to him shrinking his brows with closed eyes. “Kiara!” He sleepily called trying to open his lazy eyes.

The side was empty. She was not there beside him, ‘She must be in the wash room’ with this thought he fell back on the pillow falling asleep instantly.

Raven was sure after he would open his eyes from his much needed sleep he would get to see his dear wife’s face first thus turning his Sunday perfect alas, he didn’t find her anywhere in their bungalow. He checked everywhere in the house.

From the kitchen to the garden down where she would go to have an early morning walk everyday, he checked almost in the places she could be at and much to his surprise, she was nowhere to be spotted. “Uhh may be she is at mom and dad’s place with Billy!” Yet again he fucking thought rather than taking the situation seriously.

His wife was not there in the house. He didn’t see her since the fucking morning. Instead of searching her he was idiotically hypothesizing her whereabouts other than going and looking for her. Raven afterwards moved to the kitchen to make himself a cup of hot black coffee with a quick diy omelette sandwich.

Billy must be crying and whining and like any others time throwing tantrums on his grandma which made her to call Kiara and ask her to come over. It has become his habit to see her face and be pampered by her with showers of kisses in the morning by her.

Unless she would not pick him up, kiss his forehead and make him eat his breakfast Billy won’t eat or behave like a good kid. He wished for her presence all the time. And Raven was sure she must be there at his parent’s house handling his stubborn son. “Just a few more days baby then your mamma will be there with you forever. You will not have to cry in order to call her to you.” Rubbing his thumb on Billy’s picture fixed on his wallpaper, he smiled.

Only four days more to the hearing and then Billy will be here in his real abode with his parents permanently. They will not have to drive miles to meet him! Raven can’t control his happiness, this was the first time he was eagerly waiting for hearings day to appear.

However, Raven was surprised at the same time. Not because she left in the early morning only but because she did not even leave a message behind her like she always does! Kiara never forgot to stick a note on the mirror leaving her message on it for raven. But today she didn’t do that, not even a WhatsApp message talking about the same!

He sipped his coffee dialling her number. It is difficult to start a day without listening to her voice. She is not only Billy’s obsession but his as well. Anyway, Raven have to place aside his coffee mug curiously. He cannot reach to her because her phone was switched off!

It was all confusing to him. First of all here untold leave to his parent’s house and now this. “Why is her phone coming switched off! Kiara always charges her phone before going to sleep in the night. She did the same last night!” he nibbled on his thumb chewing on the nail.

He intriguingly stared her pic in the screen of the cellphone with batting lashes. Uhh, may be she had to do that because of Billy. “I Should go and meet her over there directly.” With the being decided Raven went upstairs to take his car keys.

He ate the sandwich on his way to the car in three big bites chewing crazily. Also, he brought along a water bottle to drink. It is difficult to stay away from her. Damn difficult when after having a good make out in the night it is not possible to see her flushed tired face in the morning!

He loves to see her beauty. And he have noticed that after their love making she gleams like the first ray of sun in the early morning. The way she smiles seeing him in the bed after waking up and shying like it was their first time— just makes his day wonderful.

The music player was turn on. After some jazz music it played ‘Only know you love her when you let her go’ song by passenger played. It was actually on insistence of a guy who was sad and heartbroken because his girlfriend left him without even letting him know.

Raven let the music play. It was so meaningful and described the emotions amusingly. The singer seemed to be heartbroken when he made this song for the lyrics were just prefect and every word touched the strings of your heart. Anyone could feel the pain and expressions it wanted to convey.

Never mind, he was just a few minutes away from the alley that led to his parent’s bungalow. Having taken a left turn carefully without hitting the cars those were parked on the side Raven pulled in stopping exactly on front of the fence less garden before the bungalow.

Instantly his lips curved into a smile while his eyes shut tight at the feeling. He can already sense his son crying and whining just because he wants his mamma to pamper him with her attention. Raven unbuckled his seat belt stepping out of his car. He passed the keys to the watchman before entering in through the door.

Just as he have expected was happening. Billy was crying on top of his lungs. He have just got into the entrance of the room, and he can hear his loud cries those were coming from his room located on the ground floor in the inside of the bungalow.

“Ohh Jesus!” There was a fresh smile on Raven’s face as he greeted his mother with a peck on her lips. He looked behind her as Billy’s cries increased. “Finally you came. Just look at your son, he has messed up his bed and crying harshly.” She said with an escape of a tired sigh.

Looking behind him with eager eyes she smiled, her focus totally distracted. She was tired of Billy’s whines and cries, all she wished now was to see Kiara’s face— her super daughter in law who can handle her grandson!

Just the morning and she was tired. Don’t know what would she do when the reality will hit her!

Okay, Raven stretched his arms walking past his mother toward his son’s room while his mother followed him. “What does my brat kid wants other than Kiara! Why is he crying even when she is there with him.” He stated walking ahead.

Notwithstanding, Mrs. Carter stopped in her track blinking her eyes in dismay. She looked down on the floor over Raven’s shadow with a dazed expression as she exclaimed, “But Raven, Kiara is not here!” He halted looking behind at his mother, confused.

“Not here? How is that possible mom. She left my house in the morning only. I thought you called her early for Billy.” He breathed scratching his nape.

His mother shook her head negatively while she said.

“That is what I want to ask you Rave, where is Kiara! She is not here. Nobody came in the morning.” Raven looked down blankly on the floor unable to comprehend what was going on!

If Kiara is not here at his parent’s house nor there in their dwelling then where is she!

Tbc…
