Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 It was arson

KEITH'S POV

What—what in the world was happening? I wondered as my eyes shook in fear at the scene before me.

It felt like my world was slowly falling apart as I watched as my mansion go up in flames.

First Jasmine gets a protective order against me, then I find out everything about Diana had been a complete lie, then Jasmine is attacked, my son is missing. Now my house is on fire. It felt like everberything was going wrong. One by one, everything was falling apart.

I noticed the fire was concentrated in the west wing of the mansion but it was soon going to be spread to others.

I asked one of the aides in the immediate vicinity to come to me.

"How the hell did this happen!?" I asked him.

"I don't know, Sir. The house suddenly erupted in flames about 10 minutes ago," he explained. "It sounded like explosives went off…"

Explosives? My mind immediately went there. I was wondering why they hadn't contacted me if there was a fire but 10 minutes was understandably a short window.

"…The firemen have already been called and are on their way," the aide finished off.

In the next five minutes they arrived and began to put the fire out.

All the estate servants gathered in the estate courtyard all watching the mansion in shock. I turned to one if the bodyguards closest to me.

"Do a head count of all the employees on the property, and make sure everyone is accounted for," I ordered him. I didn't want anyone to be stuck in the building at risk of being in the fire.

"Yes, sir."

"Also where are Diana and Marco?" I asked him noticing I couldn't see them as I looked around at the servants on the estate grounds.

"I don't know, but I'll go look for them," he told me.

A little while later he returned saying he couldn't find them. This caused me to worry as I wondered if they had got stuck in the fire. Marcos room was in the east wing….

I don't to ask others to help look for them.

Within half an hour, the firemen were luckily able to prevent the house from completely burning up in flames. The fire was contained around the main area where it had started in the west wing. I was relieved at the very least that it wouldn't spread further.

A short while all the guards and aides returned to me with same report.

"We cannot find them, sir. They are not here," they all informed me.

Before I could even process the fact they were missing another issue presented itself.

Sir, we are done with the head count and there are some missing employees. These are the servants are unaccounted for," the aide told me as he handed me a paper with written down names.

I looked at the names of the missing employees. There were four bodyguards and five maids in total who were unaccounted for.

"These are…" I started in realization as I recognized the names.

"They are the servants you often assigned to Ms Rockford and the young master Marco," he confirmed.

I rotated the estate bodyguards and maids whenever I assigned them someone. Either myself, Diana or Marco, However, there were always those who tended to be assigned a specific person more than others. And these 7 missing employees were consistently assigned to them except for Diana's head maid who always tended to her.

It was too much of a coincidence that Diana and Marca as well as their servants were all missng. My eyes darkened at the realization that they might have runaway.

The situation was very telling of what had most likely happened.
