Episode 14
Early the next morning, i felt a gentle touch on my cheek as i woke
up yawning, openly my eyes i saw Nicholas lay by my side upon
an elbow, watching me with a smile.
“Crazy night huh? You were amaz…ing and i couldn’t help
ignoring those softness” he whispered and i wondered at first if
am dreaming until he pulled me gently against him until my head
rested on his chest.
“You! You lied?” i asked with my head raised so i could see his
face.
“I did what i had to do so we could have a future of happiness
together, and our future has just begun” He said and tried kissing
me.
“You did? I despise you” i hissed vehemently and sprang to my
knees, trying to leap from the bed but he caught me by my
shoulder and cast me back on the bed gently and crawled ontop
of me.
“Where did you think you were going?” he lowered his lips until
mine but i bit tight my lips so his tongue could not have access to
my mouth.
“Away, from a lying night with you. I do not, want to have
anything with you” i retorted and struggled but he refused letting
go until his phone started ringing.
“Won’t you pick your call? Or is your conscience pricking you
already?” i asked helplessly beneath him.
“Hahaha, look my dear wife, last night was a night to remember,
knowing i broke your maiden head. Go on, clean up and get me
something to eat” he said as he finally let go of me and walked
towards the sofa naked and i just stared, longing for his body.
“Yes, my darling Rita, how are you and why disturb my
honeymoon….a bad news?……okay, calm down and tell me what
happened……What?? How? Why? When?….you are joking right?
………….Okay put Ronke on the line…what do you mean she can’t
talk?. Okay, am on my way there.” he ended the call and flung the
phone on the bed beside me leaving me with the ‘what is wrong
expression’.
“What happened?” i asked instantly.
“Mum and dad has been kidnapped and the kidnapper have called
saying they want to speak with me” he said and hurried wore his
trouser.
“What?? Mum and dad?” i asked shocked.
“Put on something if you want to go with me and be fast about
it.” he said as he wore a grey t-shirt.
I quickly leapt from the bed, ignoring the blood stain on the bed
sheet and got dressed. Fifteen minutes later, we were in the
Omonaiye’s house, both our heart beat increased at the sudden
grave like sound the compound now had.
“Baby, please hold me” i said looking scared.
“Seems, your parents are here already” he said nodding towards
the direction of the parked car as he held me tight.
We paused on the main entrance to the house and knocked but
there was no response so we barged into the house, but was
shocked on getting to the sitting room.
“April fools” They all chorused.
“What, mum, dad so you mean you could let them pull such a
stunt? If only you knew how sweet we were enjoying ourselves
or how i drove recklessly to get here” Nicholas said with a grin
and i had a frown on my face.
“Oh, look who we have here, the greatest fool of the day, you
look like you are gonna cry. How did you feel knowing your
husband lied to you?” Rita said with an innocent face, and i
couldn’t hold back my anger so i landed three hot slap on her face
and pounced on her giving her the beating of her miserable life
until, i was pulled away from her by Nicholas.
“Let me go, you this slime, you did this to me. All of you knew
about his game all along, my parents, your parents, the zombie i
call a brother, even my bestie, a backstabbing witch, this s--t and
the doctor too” i couldn’t hold my tears and rage anymore.
“Hi, am Anita, Dapo’s doctor and cousin” the doctor said bringing
her hand forward for a handshake and i pushed it away.
“Lara, darling please sit down let us explain” my mum said.
“Never, not on this life. I hate all of you, you are all the same” i
said and rushed out of the house pushing Nicholas out of my way
and not caring when he fell upon a stool.
“D--n it, baby” he said as he got back on his feet and rushed
outside after me.
I kept crying as i ran, wondering why they chose to treat me that
way, the people i love most i wasn’t sure where i was going that
moment, i kept running pay little attention to Nicholas’ voice as he
shouted my name from behind.
My vision became blurry and i couldn’t catch my breath for some
seconds so i stopped running and tried sitting on the tarred road
of the Adekunle’s street but a white hilux vehicle stopped infront of
me and i was roughly dragged inside, i struggled but the huge
hefty man at the back seat that dragged me inside just gave me a
hot slap and i spat out blood on the closed window and watched
as Nicholas ran after the vehicle as it sped off.
“Big Joe, give the girl that thing, remember she musn’t know
where we are taking her to” a deep harsh masculine voice who
sat beside the driver said.
“Sure” The man who sat in the back seat with me said and raised
his thigh so he could get a white handkerchief from his pocket and
as he brought the soaked hanky towards my nose, i snatched his
phone from his pocket without him knowing it, and held my
breath as he brought the substance to mz nose. I lowered my
head lazily on his lap and quickly inserted the phone inside my bra
and cleaned my nose then sneezed on impulse.
“She don doze? Check am well, make you seat belt am” The driver
said.
“Nawao i never see any body sneeze before o, after we use badoo
for am before, but this babe set die, we suppose chop am before
we dispose am” Big Joke said.
“Not in this life, my God won’t allow it” i thought.
