Episode 16.

FRANK.

Mr Charlie is dead!.

I looked at the note pasted on his stomach and read out the words which were written in bold capital letters.

“AM COMING FOR YOU”

They are the same words written on the newspaper and it has the same handwriting.

How will I find the truth while the papers are gone too?

I ran out of the office and headed towards my car, I need to get out or the police will come in and misunderstand the wh0le situation.

I noticed that his secretary wasn’t on her seat as usual, where had she gone?

What if the police trace this murder to me? What if, gosh! Many what ifs ran through my mind as I turned the ignition on and drove out of the place with tire screeching speed.

What have I gotten myself into? This is a set up and how will I ever escape from it with all the evidence pointing at me? .

I’m not going home, not now. Am never gonna be able to handle this without my Aunt noticing, I might end up telling her and worsening her condition.

My heart raced just the same way as my car, I followed were it led. It led me into a bigger trouble.

Everything happened in a second and I saw it in a blurry vision as I hitted something, I didn’t remember where the accelerator is located or were the steering wheel was until I saw blood stains on my windscreen.

I didn’t understand what was happening until a face I recognized came into view, her hands covered her mouth to subdue her shriek when she saw me.

Everyone else was busy with whatever I hitted but she came to me and clasped my arms, her tears fell on my face as she helped me out of the car.

To the glory of God, I jammed a puppy. I noticed the owner of the dog from the disdainful look he gave me, I was more thankful that it’s something I can replace and not someone’s life.

I looked around the wh0le place and I slumped to the concrete floor when my legs gave up, she fell along with me because my body weighed much more than hers.

Two other people from the group came over and they…… together with Anna…… helped me to my feet, I heard police sirens before my ears and eyes shutted off.

I heard nothing, I felt nothing, I saw nothing, not anymore till I woke up at a different environment and my head was spinning and everywhere summersaulted..

BRIANNA.

“Doctor! He’s awake!!……” I leaped up to my feets and made to run outside to alert the doctor as he had told me but he held me back.

He looked at me weakly and I felt really bad, I am excited that he’s awake but I can’t bear to see him hurting.

He’s a good person, he doesn’t deserve to be in any form of bad condition. Ever.

I covered his palm with mine and sat down beside him on the hospital bed.

“How do you feel now, better?” I asked touching his forehead lightly.

“Are you alright?” He returned with another question.

“Am I the one who is hurt, stop being sarcastic” I retorted muffling my face at him.

He laughed lightly, I guess he wanted to laugh loud but his head hurts so he managed a grim one.

“Don’t boil up, I am very fine. You are the one who looks terrible” he commented.

He has already noticed that I hate cross-question so much, so he seems to be using my weakness to tease me. I opened my mouth to talk only to clamp it shut when the doctor came in.

“How are you feeling, young man?” The doctor asked as he ran his temperature.

“I feel better, just that I think I have a big problem with my eyes now” he said seriously looking at the doctor like a thug.

I wanted to jump in but I allowed the doctor do his job. I tightened my hold on his hand and he smiled at me as the doctor urged him to open his eyes w¡der so he would check it.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your eyes, why did you say that?” The doctor inquired after a closer look into his eyes.

“Because this young lady beside me looks extremely beautiful and enchanting which is unusual” he said rolling his eyes.

Gosh! I felt like a little kid in kindergarten receiving a handshake from the principal for a wonderful performance in class, pink color rose to my cheeks as the doctor nodded in approval.

“That means your eyes are in order, there’s nothing unusual about it because it saw clearly. Your girlfriend is adorable” The doctor said smiling at us.

“We…. I am not his….”

“Thanks doctor! You have a good sense of humor” Frank cutted my words of denial off. I mopped at him as the doctor nodded and went outside.

When the door clicked shut, he grinned at me and I pinched his cheeks playfully. That made him wince in pain and I mocked him with mimicks.

“So, what’s up with all your dress up?” He asked in scrutiny.

“No…. nothing, I was actually going to buy some groceries for my mother before I saw you” I lied.

Grocery for my mother my foot! I would rather skydive in Bahamas than run errands for her.

When I saw the accident, I thought to simply ignore it and go my way but I was drawn closer when I recognized the car I had seen at his place the last time.

I was shocked to see him, I had prayed all the while from the house not to see him not to talk of meeting him.

Fate has a way of dealing with people. Anyways, I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I had avoided the accident scene only to find out that it’s him.

“Anna?” He snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Yes?” I raised a brow.

“The man with the puppy…….” He started but I cutted him off.

“He’s not too angered, the puppy was crushed by your car but he accepted to let it go because it’s a homeless puppy he came across” I explained curtly.

“That’s all?” He said closing one eye.

“Yes, that’s all” I swatted at him to stop his childish behavior.

“Thank you” he said squeezing my hand.

“For what?”

“For everything” he said chuckling as he trailed his fingers at the back of my palm.

“Not necessary, I owed you a favor. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to save someone like you!” I said standing up from the bed to take a deep breath.

“Really? You know how to lie and just so you know, I’m not buying that because your eyes says a different thing” he tried standing up.

“It would be better if you stop moving, to avoid…..” My voice trailed off when the door opened and his Aunt came in.

That’s when I looked up at the wall clock and saw that it’s late evening, I had to start going home. What a big turn of events!

Episode 17.

HELENA.

I opened my eyes slowly, I was first confused about where I was and what am doing there but I wasn’t in a new environment.

Everything looks the same and the familiar scent that drifted into my nose is all the same.

I am in,side my room, it looks as though I had gone in,side my room and had tucked myself into bed for a little sleep.

But I am not fooled, someone had done it. I remember vividly a hand covering my face and sending me to a nap with whichever way he did it because those hands were strong hands.

The surprising thing is that am not even afraid as I ought to be or shaken at all though I could read the handwriting on the wall that the person is trying to scare me.

Who could this be? This question play on and on in my head as I stood up from my bed and looked around me like a lost sheep.

Something is definitely wrong somewhere! How can a letter be stolen under my nose and my life be threatened in the most frightening way while I can’t even describe why?.

My mind was snapped back to reality when I heard footsteps coming towards my door…..the person is probably running.

I didn’t wait for a second to think as I grabbed my bed lamp and hid behind the door, I counted…..1, 2. And 3!….boom! I hitted the person as his head popped into my room.

“Oh shit!” Marshall cursed as he lunged towards me only to hold back his blow on mid air when he saw me standing there .”jeez! What’s all this about?!”

I hid the bed lamp behind my back and looked at him open mouthedly. “Uh…..sir, I….. I’m…s_so_sorry” I bit my lower lip.

He touched the head where I had hit him and looked at it to see if there’s blood, nothing was on it. No blood…. thank goodness.

“Hope you are alright?” He asked.

“Yes sir, am very fine” I answered almost immediately, I am a bit surprised that he bothered to ask.

“What was all that noise for when I called you earlier today?” He inquired standing akimbo.

“I….. I….. It wasn’t anything” what am I to say? That a hand sent me to sleep and tugged me to bed? Crazy!

“You mean, nothing happened? Then what happened to the glass windows from upstairs?” He asked leaning on the door and crossing his hands around him.

“I…..when we were talking on the phone, I heard the glass fall so I went to check only to see that it’s wind that blew it off, seems they’re weak” I summed up a quick lie.

I rolled my tongue in my mouth and used it to count my teeth as I kept a straight face to avoid exposing myself.

He stared at me for a while before nodding affirmatively. “Well, it’s good nothing bad happened, I came rushing down here to see if you are okay” he said with a shrug.

“Oh…. thanks sir, I didn’t know you heard it, I would have called and explained things to you” I told him.

Is he really here out of concern for me or for his house? Who knows!

“Mmmm…. alright, I will go back tomorrow. I don’t think it’s wise to leave without taking care of it” he said and examined his head once again before he left my room.

OMG! I took a deep breath and slumped to my bed, what’s happening to me?

Am too old to be having nightmares in broad daylight without seeing the faces of those after me. I felt a chill, as if someone is watching me, as if someone is nearby.

Who is it? Why’s that person scaring me? Or is it actually a bad dream?
I have to start waking up before it’s too late.

RACHEL.

“Where went you?” I asked Brianna for the second time as she walked past me to the white house.

A single hair on her head didn’t move, I went to block her on the door way. Who does she think she is to snub me like that?.

I had planned with Marshall to send her on the very mission of which she is here for tonight, but he left to his house for an emergency.

Nevertheless, I won’t let this thing make a fool of me with whatever gave her the guts. She can’t just ignore me like I wasn’t there in the first place.

“Hello, miss Block ears! Am talking to you!” I shouted at her face, I made sure my face stayed away from her reach to avoid it receiving another hot slap.

The last one she gave me has left a scar on my face and it took days to stop paining me, I can’t bear to take another one from her.

In the meantime, I think she is not herself right now because she looks a bit down and not ready for a fight, whatever happened out there!.

“Did you ever love me?” She asked in a voice I didn’t know exists in her. Very calm, very soft.

I staggered, I opened my mouth to deny it but I couldn’t. I closed it and opened it again after a while to tell her the truth but I know she won’t believe me.

Why? Because I know am not worth to be called a mother. I have only lived in a world where money buys everything, so settling for less because of my feelings has never been a part of me.

I braced my shoulders and maintained my cool, money is the only thing that matters to me. Yes, my world revolves around money.

“Why would you ask me such a stupid question, you already know the answer before now” I said though I hated the fact that my voice wasn’t normal.

“I understand if you don’t like me, but why did you have to suffer my dad too. I know for certain that you love him! How do you even sleep every night with all your atrocities lurking around?”

Tears flooded her eyes as she poured out her heart.

“How do you even k-ss that man each and every day knowing that your heart doesn’t belong to him?!”

“I have never regretted anything in my wh0le life except giving my first k-ss to that stinky man that smells of stolen wealth!”

“Rachel, do you know how much dad misses you? Do you know that he doesn’t even look twice at other women?!”

“Do you know that he yawns for you every night as he sleeps on an empty bed alone all cold?! He doesn’t tell me all that but I saw it, I knew it and I kept believing……… I had faith that one-day, mother’s going to come home and dad will be alright!”

“I wished for it to happen so that we will be one big family like other people, but what happened, you shattered my dreams and sold your soul to the devil because of money!”

“Rachel, I hate you! I don’t regard you as anything! I don’t give a f-ck about you! You’re nothing but a slut and……..”

“Enough!!” I raised a hand furiously and slapped her. She didn’t expect it because she ducked backwards when my hand landed on her cheek.

“You are a bitch! Rachel, I will kill you!” She lunged forward, surprisingly I didn’t know she would be so fast when I took to my heels and tried running upstairs.

I was still at the base of the stairs when she caught me and we fell together on the floor and tore each other apart.

Her high heeled shoes worked for my own favour because it had fallen her. When I got to my feet again, I was able to get upstairs and lock myself up in my room.

After a while, I peeped through the lock h0le and I didn’t see her anywhere around the parlour. I don’t think I will go out until Marshall comes back, she might have something cooking.

She might not spare me if her hands gets to me again……..

FRANK.

My Aunt looked at me sternly and waited for me to answer her questions. The doctor discharged me and prescribed drugs to sustain me, so we are at home and she has been throwing questions at me.

I am not surprised but I couldn’t figure out how to start explaining everything to her so she would understand, I still don’t know who told her that I was involved in an accident.

Maybe, Anna did. She had left the hospital immediately after my Aunt came.

“Why are you keeping quiet?” She asked when I could only look at her.

“I…. I was on my way to see George, everything happened so fast so I can’t really describe how……” I found out that I’m not eligible, so I allowed my voice drop.

“I told you not to go out! Now you see, did you see the George you went to see? Sometimes I wonder why you don’t listen to me” she’s very angry.

I felt sad for being the reason why she’s depressed this days “I’m sorry, Aunt” was all I said before she went upstairs.

My head still hurts, so I simply went to my own room. Maybe when she’s in the right state of mind, I will talk to her.

I took the stairs up and was about entering my room when the gardener called me from downstairs, he stood transfixed in the parlour.

What’s wrong this time? He doesn’t look good at all and his expression is that of fear.

I ran downstairs again to meet him. “What’s wrong?”

“Your…. your horse!” He said pointing towards the door.

“My horse?, What happened to it?” I asked him already running outside to see for myself.

He fell into step behind me as I raced towards the pen, I noticed my car has been repaired and parked in order at it’s usual s₱0t.

But, what about my horse?

I saw it, it’s lying in front of the pen with blood stains all over his body. He’s lifeless, he’s dead.

Someone had practically stabbed it and looking at the environment, they battle quiet alot before he was killed.

A white paper was pasted on it’s stomach, something’s scrabbled on it in the same handwriting as usual…….

TBC.
