That man looked very upset he said, “Last night Alora went missing and someone killed her driver in her car and we can’t find any clue of her”
My heart sank and I just prayed to God that she is not the same girl, I mustered some courage and said to the old man, “Sir, if you can show her photo…you know…may ..be we can help”
Suddenly a young man maybe he is twenty-three or twenty four years old came forward and said showing a picture on his phone and said, “She is my sister, she is missing since yesterday night, please tell me if you have seen her”
I felt my heart stop for a moment. It was her that looked so cute in that picture, and her brother it is visible in his eyes how much he loves his sister.
It took me a lot of effort to nod my head saying I haven’t seen her, but deep down in my heart, I knew I was going to find her anyhow.
The moment I nodded, her brother’s phone started ringing. He looked at the screen and frowned. He turned around answering the call, and walked away.
I wanted to ask him for her picture but he had already left in a hurry.
I looked at the old man and said, “Sir, can you share any picture of Alora, I and my friends can try to look for her.
Such a sweet name she has.
The old man nodded and pulled out a file, it was an employee file being a small place. It is easy for them to handle things in hard copy in todays’ time.
He turned the file towards me and showed her documents, I immediately took the picture of her complete form and thanked him.
August’s POV
I landed here early in the morning to take my sister with me, I was very happy today because it is finally the day when I will get my little sister back with me.
I never wanted my sweet Alora to stay in this small town but I had to follow my parent’s superstition and let my sister stay here.
It was a big blow when we lost our parents & grandma, suddenly all the responsibilities of my sister and my Dad’s business came on me.
I wanted to bring Alora immediately back to Miami but I was so held up with my work that I was unable to bring her back with me.
I was beyond happy when I landed here, I asked my driver to drive fast to my grandma’s place, I was eager to see my little bundle of happiness.
I can see her jumping happily around me when she sees me.
She is my only family in this world; once I have her with me my family will be complete. We can be there for each other.
The moment I reached home the butler welcomed me but his face looked tired and as if he didn’t sleep the entire night, I asked him and he said he didn’t sleep the whole night waiting for Alora.
I frowned and asked, “What do you mean you were waiting for her? Where did she go? And why you didn’t send driver with her”
After his reply I got to know shocking news that my little sister was working in a hotel, we never allowed her to work. She is our little princess, the butler was scared and he told me how my little devil convinced our grandma to let her work without us knowing about it.
He also told me that it was for the first time that Alora was so late she never came home late as it was a term of our grandma.
I immediately took the hotel address where my little devil works.
I thought of scolding her but I know the moment I will see her face all my anger will fly away.
And she knows how to cool me down, she just has to smile and all my anger vanishes away. If it was possible I would keep her with me always.
But I know I can’t do that. She will have to marry someone someday and leave her brother behind but as her elder brother, it is my responsibility to protect her till she finds her loving partner.
And yes it will not be easy for her partner to convince me, I will test him on all aspects and then only give my sister to him.
I was in thoughts when my car stopped suddenly, I asked the driver and he said, “Sir there are many people on the road looks like something happened”
God knows why I had a wrong feeling about it and without thinking I opened the car door and rushed towards the crowd.
And the moment my eyes fell on the car my blood froze, it was Alora's car. I panicked and ran towards the car, the police officers standing there held me and asked, “Sir, who are you?”
I replied immediately trying to free myself from them, “It's my sister's car, what happened here? Where is my sister?”
The office replied, “We found a man’s dead body in the car as per his uniform he is the driver”
I interrupted him and asked, “Where is my sister?”
Officer replied, “We didn’t find traces of any girl, maybe she escaped when they were attacked”.
I felt a little relieved, I broke free from the officers and ran back to my car, and ordered my driver to drive fast to her hotel which is not very far from this place.
I thought if she tried to escape then she must have gone back to her hotel which is the nearest safe place.
In ten minutes we reached the hotel and I started calling her name as this place is not very big, soon an old man came running and asked, “What happened young man?”
