Chapter 213: You Are Going To Be A Daddy Soon!

Marlon glanced sideways at Erik who had his eyes closed. They just came from the airport and the car was cruising at a comfortable speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The meeting with their business partners was set the following morning.

Marlon sighed. Erik looked better compared to a few months ago when Aryana disappeared. But something in him changed. He became even more workaholic and more ruthless in dealing with business matters. In his free time, he still continued to search for Aryana. He still would not accept the fact that Aryana died. To him, she was just missing.

The result of their investigation showed that the people who planned to kidnap Aryana was related to a syndicate called Black Mamba. It was the same one that kidnapped and almost auctioned her. Their motive might be revenge because of the tremendous losses they suffered on the day Aryana was auctioned.

After that, Erik was hell bent on destroying the syndicate. He worked with the police as they raided the syndicate’s lair one by one.

Erik opened his eyes and looked out of the window. He froze at what he saw.

"Stop the car." He shouted.

Unfortunately they were on the expressway and they cannot stop at will especially when they were on the inner lane.

Erik craned his neck and looked back at the electronic bill board. He saw the profile of a young model. She exactly looked like Aryana. But then his eyes traveled down to her stomach and he saw the big baby bump. The frame changed and the woman was now facing the camera. Erik’s heart skipped a bit. The woman was smiling into the camera and his gaze landed to the two cute dimples that decked her rosy cheeks. But when he looked at her eyes, he felt disappointed. The color of her eyes was brown and it was a bit smaller and looked more Oriental rather than Caucasian. Her hair was straight and black and just a little above her shoulders.

The car went past the billboard and he could no longer see. He however saw the brand she was endorsing and it was called Madonna.

Erik’s heart raced crazily. "Can you check the store called Madonna and check the models currently endorsing their products?"

Marlon frowned but did as told. A lot of search results appeared and they were mostly photos of a mother and child.

Erik was impatient. He took out his cell phone to do the search but before he could do that, their car has gotten off from the expressway and was passing through a big mall.

"Stop the car!" Erik’s voice was filled with excitement.

The driver went to the side of the road and stopped the car as instructed. Erik got off from the back passenger seat and looked up at the huge screen installed on the walls of the mall.

Marlon wondered what caught Erik’s attention so he also got off the car. When he looked up, it was as if he was struck by lightning. The model was looking at him and smiling brightly. Her two dimples were tantalizing him.

He looked at Erik whose gaze was transfixed to the face of the model on the screen.

Erik stood there for a long time. His heart was filled with complex emotions. ’Is it her? She looked so much like her. In fact, she was an oriental version of her.’ He lowered his gaze and it rested on her bulging tummy which she supported by her two hands.

He was disappointed because the woman was pregnant. Her baby bump looked real and shouldn’t be a fake. ’So she is someone else’s wife.’

He went inside the car and his expressions was gloomy. ’Yana, I missed you so much. I think I’ll go crazy if you will not return to me soon.’

He looked back at the LED screen and the model’s side profile was shown. It was exactly the same as Aryana.

"Let us go." He finally gave the command to the driver after staring at the model for a long time.

He searched for the website of the clothing brand. More photos of the model were shown there. She donned different hairstyle and different look.

Erik copied the website’s address and sent it to King of Aces. ’Find out the identity of of this model and send it to me as soon as possible.’

Marlon looked at Erik. His eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed. He was massaging his temples with his two fingers. He shifted his gaze on the photos displayed on the screen. That model resembled Aryana, except that the color of her eyes were brown and her hair was short and black.

"She looked like her especially with this angle." He was holding his cellphone and scrutinizing the side view of the model.

"Do you think so as well?" Erik opened his eyes and looked at Marlon. There was a gleam of hope in his dark orbs. "I thought that I just missed her so much, I am seeing her everywhere."

Marlon really pitied his boss and friend. When Cassie left him a few years ago, he was devastated however, when he compared it to when Aryana went missing, it was like comparing an ant to an elephant.

Erik was hospitalized for two weeks and was sick for a month. It was only when the three of them convinced him that he needed to pull himself up so he can look for Aryana, that Erik took his health seriously.

Erik found himself standing in the garden at the side of the hotel.

"Erik!"

He heard a familiar voice that he missed for a long time. Erik looked back and he found Aryana wearing a lemon yellow maternity dress. She was walking toward him, her slightly wavy short hair covered her ears and her hazel eyes were bright and clear. Her abdomen was bulging as she supported it with both of her hands.

"I’ve finally found you. You are going to be a daddy soon." Aryana reached out and clasped his big hands and guided it slowly to her baby bump. "Meet our baby girl."
