I knocked consecutively on the door for Lizzy to open the door

I stood there waiting for her but when I didn't get any response

I searched my bag for the spare key

Thank God I always go out with it

I opened the door and met the dark room.

I called out Lizzy's name but no one answered.

I switched on the light, expecting to see her sleeping on the bed but the bed is still neat

"Where could she have gone to" I wondered, undressing myself

Unknowingly my bag dropped on the floor when I wanted to bring out my phone to call Lizzy

Everything in the bag littered on the floor

I sighed and bent down to pack them but a small well designed card caught my attention

I picked it up to read

The card felt rich in the hands

"Hmmm" 

I turned it over and found "CRUZ RECORDS" boldly written on it

"Cruz records???

"The famous Cruz records" I asked myself 

I tried remembering who gave me the card

"This is my card, call me" echoed in my head and I remembered that it is Austin's card

So Austin is a "CRUZ" 

I thought to myself

"No wonder, he recognized my ringing tone and the songs I wrote in my diary

My likeness for him died down when I read further and found out that he is the CEO.

"Oh God, why am I always entangled with these kind of men"

"Why didn't I know from the first time that he is a CRUZ"

These where the thoughts in my mind before I slept off determined never to talk to Austin next time he calls

***************************
My alarm woke me up, I sleepily snoozed it

"Oh its Monday morning, work calls"

I jumped off my bed with a strength that amazed me.

I went about doing my morning ritual

I prayed, warmed my food and straight to the bathroom where I brushed my teeth and took my bath.

I stretched my hand to collect my toothbrush but on seeing two brushes I thought of Lizzy

She has not been home since last night

I made up my mind to call her on my way to work

Maybe she had late night stuff to handle

I finished preparing for work by 7:30 am,

I spent most of the time in front of the mirror adjusting and readjusting my makeup and outfit

I smiled in satisfaction to my reflection

I stepped out and locked my door

*******************

The drive to work was stress free

I texted Frank about Lizzy's disappearance 

He replied immediately

"Don't worry your little head dear, she is a gown up lady and can take care of herself"

"She will definitely come back tomorrow" He replied

The reply somehow calmed my nerves and

**************

I walked with confidence to my office

I was going through some files needed for my promotion when a message came into my phone

I ignored it at first but curiosity took over me

"Maybe Lizzy is finally back" I thought

I read the message

"Can I see you after work today, reply back please"

"Mmmmmm, Austin again"

I replied immediately with a big " NO"

He replied back which made me to tremble

"Am with your diary, come to take it ASAP or I burn it"

I dropped my phone in horror

******************

Mmmmm, I smell trouble
Our Lizzy is missing
Austin is with our diary
Let's go on shaaa and see what will come out of it
