The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 96

” of course why did I not think of that, I’m sure she looked for accommodation wherever she will be staying.”

Matthew commented in realization, as he picked up the phone and revisited the browsing history. But after going through it, he noticed that Ciara had cleared her phone’s browsing history.

” I’ll have to give it to her, this woman is good I’m telling you. “

” bring it here. “

Liam knew that no one can be that thorough when covering their tracks, it takes a pro to do that. He took the phone, and only pressed a few keys before a name came up.

‘Aloe Ridge guest house.’

He then clicked on the link on it which took them straight to their booking site with contact details and an address for that guesthouse.

” Got you, not that clever now huh!.”

Right then Finnick’s phone rang, the screen on his phone showed that the person who was calling was one of his men also helping out with looking for Liam’s wife Ciara.

” Talk to me.”

He answered and then waited for the man’s briefing, which after acknowledging what the man told him, he hung up.

” OK this is one of my men, he just reported that Ciara got in to a plane and flew to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape province. We should probably pack up and get ready to go there.

Knowing that Ciara was no where near him frustrated Liam a lot, and the fact that he could not do anything about it got him even more mad.

He tried hacking the camera surveillance at the guest house where they assumed that Ciara was staying in, but because he was too far from it, the hacking could not be carried out.

Since they were already driving their cars from their city, they decided to continue doing the same as they had a lot of equipment with them. They all went to their rooms and tried to get some sleep and rest before their 15 hour trip to Port Elizabeth.

About 3 hours after that Liam had gotten up and started waking everyone up as well. He felt that every second counted and it was important not to waste it on lazing around.

Finnick was used to drills from work so Liam’s technique of waking them up did not bother him, but Matthew on the other hand was grumpy for a very long time. After they were done putting their things in the cars, they started their long journey to Port Elizabeth.

They would only stop when one needed to use the toilet, buy snacks or put some gas on the car. Otherwise they just drove through all the towns and cities leading to their destination. By the time they reached their destination it was almost day break. They were able to book a very nice five star hotel in the city, the Radisson blu hotel. They took the whole floor to themselves as they wished not to be disturbed. They again set up their equipment with the video screens and computers and Liam immediately started working.

They called the guest house to see if they had a guest by the name Ciara Williams, but the receptionist refused to give them such information and said something about protecting their guests.

Now this left them with no choice but to personally visit the guest house themselves.

When they arrived, Matthew took out a huge roll of bank notes and looked at the receptionist.

” I called you a few minutes ago, but I need you to think carefully before answering as there are no second chances. Tell me do you have a guest called Ciara Williams?”.

The receptionist looked at the money and bit of his lower l*p, he did not know what to do. He was stuck between sticking to rules of his job and protect the privacy of his guests or take the money and reveal what ever information they needed.

It was indeed a big roll and by estimation that money could no doubt double his annual income. Thinking about how he would be able to build his wife the kitchen of her dreams, better yet extend the house.

It was really a tough decision to make, but in the end greed got the better of him as he turned his eyes to the computer screen in front of him.

” Ciara Williams you say?”

He started typing furiously on his computer keyboard and went through all the information available under that name.

” unfortunately we don’t have a guest by that name, however we did have a woman who stayed with us a few months ago, she only stayed for a week and then checked out. She was however very friendly and close to our cleaning staff, maybe you can replace some information about her.

They wasted no time and went to the staff quarters where they found Suzi the cleaner, who was said to be close to Ciara during her stay here.

After exchanging their greetings, they did not beat around the bush but got straight to the point.

” We heard that you are close to the person we are looking for, give us the information we need and you will have no regrets in life.”

Matthew had again taken out another roll of money and desplayed it in front of the woman.

” What information do you want, I’ll answer you to the best of my ability. “

” Ciara Williams, where is she, did she tell you where she will be going before checking out of here?”

” Well Ciara was a very private person, we only spoke about general things whenever we met. I’m afraid she did not share those details with me. “

The men in front of her looked very disappointed with Matthew putting back the roll of money back in his pocket. They looked at her conflicted face before turning around to leave.

They walked out of the door, but just after taking a few steps away they heard a voice of the same woman calling them back. They looked at each other, then walked in again.

” Changed your mind?”

” wait here I just remembered something.”

She then walked up to her cupboard and opened one of the drawers before she took out a piece of paper, she looked at it for a few seconds then gave it to Matthew, the one who had showed her a chunk of money.
