CHAPTER FOURTEEN
🦋 DETERMINED 🦋
🌬Writer’s pov 🌬
Robert Gates went to the kitchen to meet his wife, Tina ( Tori’s mother), she was wearing a blue apron over a long plain gown, this wasn’t the way he married her, she was pretty and s€×y before he got married to her, but now she has gotten fat and unattractive.
He no longer desired her anymore, he was only still staying married to her because of her family’s wealth.
There was now one person that he desires and it’s Victoria, his beautiful chubby daughter and even if it’s insanity, he was determined to have her.
He was scared though, he was so scared when he saw that girl, his daughter’s friend, Ifeoma, what if she tells Tori that he had once asked her out and Tori tells her mother about it.
He would be ruined
Tina would file for a divorce and he would become penniless since she owns everything in the house
No! He couldn’t let that happen
He must find a way to lure that girl to the house and pay her into silence , he must find a way to do it.
” so what were you calling me for ”
He asks his wife
” it’s Major Saraki, his wife called me just now, she said her husband has lost his memory, she said he doesn’t even remember her or the kids ”
What!
” did he have an accident, I still saw him this morning ”
Mr Gates asks
” no she said nothing happened to him, his daughter said some people beat them up, she said Tori’s friends, they said that Indian girl was there when it happened ”
Indian girl!
He couldn’t stop thinking about the chilling look that the Indian girl gave him and the seizures
But it hadnt felt like a seizure
It had felt like something was strangling him, s-cking the very life out of him
There is something off about that girl!
Something scary
He wasn’t really sorry for Major Saraki, that man was very ruthless and he had killed many vulnerable civilians just to prove his superiority.
Perhaps now that he has lost his memory, people would be free from his terrorism
He needs to warn Tori to stay away from those group of friends.
She could still stay with that one with the long brown hair, but damn! That girl looks hot!
💗Tori 💗
I clutch my pink bunny to my chest, my head is hot and clammy, I don’t want to believe that what happened to me really happened
No!
I don’t want to believe that my dad just tried to s€×ually assault me.
I don’t want my family to turn into a dysyfunctional family
Someone knocks on the door and I only clutch my doll tighter
My dad opens the door and walks in
” go.. away..don’t come.. close… to me ”
He only ignores my protest and seats at the foot of my bed
” Tori I’m sorry, I couldn’t control myself… I
He runs his hand through his hair to demonstrate his fustration
I flinch as he holds my hand
” Vicky I’m sorry, you know I can never hurt you, you’re my angel, my only daughter, please forgive me, forgive daddy ”
He pleads, if mom hadn’t called in that moment, would he have hurt me, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, but he is my father and I’m his angel, I don’t even know what I’m supposed to think
” please you know I’ll never hurt you, what happened earlier was a mistake ”
I couldn’t bring myself to trust him fully
” promise me that… it wouldn’t repeat itself ”
” I promise ”
” pinky swear ”
We cross our little finger together and I was more assured
” em that your friend, what’s even her name,
That one..
Who is he talking about
” is it Shanaya”
” no it’s not the Indian or the one with brown hair, the slim girl ”
He said
” oh! You mean Erica ”
He stares at me in confusion
” are you sure her name is Erica ”
” yes, why are you asking ”
” please stay away from her, she is a bad girl ”
I roll my eyes at him
This has to be a joke!
And if I’m to recall, there was this awkward tension between dad and Erica
” Erica is not a bad girl daddy, she is a very good girl when you get to know her, she acts crazy at times but she can never hurt a fly ”
Okay! Maybe she can hurt a fly
” I know my reasons for saying this Tori, I saw her one day when I was coming to your school, I decided to give her a lift, she accepted but she tried to steal from me, as i drop her at the school, I started looking for my phone, it was only pure luck that made someone call me in that moment and my phone started ringing in her school bag,
Can you now see that the girl is a thief ”
I open my mouth in shock
Not knowing who to believe
My dad or Erica?
💛 Sasha 💛
Mom and dad are back for now
I know they’re not going to stay for long, maybe two or three days later, they will travel again
I meet mom applying some makeup on her face, my little sister Cara was at her side, trying to emulate her and she opened a mascara and applied it on her face, she made the mistake of rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands and it leaves a black smear on her face.
I try not to laugh at her
” wow, Sasha you’re back ”
Mom said in that British accent, most people don’t really believe that my mom is white, the only thing I inherited from her is her long brown hair, I got the rest of my look s from my dad
While Cara took my mom’s looks but didn’t get lucky with the hair aspect, she took my dads hair.
” yeah I’m back, if I’m not back, you wouldn’t be seeing me ”
If she noticed the way I snapped at her, she chose to ignore it
” I just got this special make up from the UK, you can use it to transform yourself into anyone, it’s used in movies for special effects ”
🙄🙄🙄 do I care
” here I got a special one for you”
she hands me a make up bag
You weren’t there for my birthday, you didn’t give me a sensible gift
I wanted to blurt out
But I was too tired after all those running to even engage in a verbal argument
I just collect it without saying anything
” it doesn’t hurt to say thank you, you know!,
That make up actually costs a fortune ”
” I’ll say thank you when you start travelling less and stay at home more ”
” but Sash, I have an important career, I can’t possibly give that up ”
She yells at me
” wow, Tomilola, you’re back ”
Tomilola is my Nigerian name, the one that dad calls me, If there’s anyone that can always boost my spirit, it’s my dad, but unfortunately he is not always home too
He walks into the parlor, wearing a white ‘agbada’, but I can still see the tell tale bulge of his huge stomach underneath the clothes, they were more grey in his hair
I’ve never seen a more mismatched couple
Mom is young and s€×y while dad, well dad has a chieftancy stature
I give him a warm smile
” you know I have told you and your mother to stop arguing, once I land this huge business deal I’m not going to travel again ”
That’s what he always say
But he’ll keep on landing this deal, landing the other deal and travelling and travelling
I just shrugged
” you say that all the time ”
” this time is different, I can swear it ”
Even if you use God’s name to swear, I will not believe you, you were once a politician…
” Its been a long time since I cooked in this house, I want to cook tonight ”
Mom said
I notice that dad’s face fell immediately and I give him a conspiratorial wink
” mom I’m sorry, I’m really full, I won’t be able to eat ”
I said
” yeah me too, I ate a lot of chocolates and I overstuffed myself ”
Cara said and we wink at each other
” OK, I’ll just prepare for only your dad ”
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
This was mom’s version of cooking
I ins**t the disk into the DVD player and ‘ HOW TO COOK DIFFERENT DISHES ‘ was boldly displayed on the screen.
Mom said she’ll be making jollof rice so I fast forward it to jollof rice part
Mom was in the kitchen and she connects with me with the phone, I instructed her on the part where she was stirring pepper
” mom they have put Maggi ” I said over the phone
“Okay how many ”
” ten and plenty salt, curry and thyme ”
” okay ”
” mom they have added water ”
I said over the phone
” okay, how many cups of water ”
She replies
” I don’t know, it looks like twelve ”
I said and i hear her measure water into the pot
” mom, they put something like leaf ”
I said when I saw the woman on the television putting a kind of leaf
” thank God I’m lucky to find it in the kitchen ”
Moments later, I watch dad eat the food in the dinner table and from his screwed up face, I can tell that it tastes awful
Mom’s cooking never turns out well no matter how she tries
I give dad a conspiratorial wink as he stylishly takes the food to the kitchen
Disposal time! 😜
💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
To be honest the weekend has been one of the best time of my life, it had been scary, awful but it had been fun.
It had almost made me forget my anger over Erica or the fact that I’ll do anything to hurt her if she nears Keith.
Talking about schemings
I put the makeup kit in my school bag
Erica I don’t really want to hurt you but I’ll be forced to if you don’t stay away from Keith!
I spend the rest of the evening watching YouTube
Tomorrow will determine Erica’s fate, because when I see her with Keith, I won’t hesitate to hurt her.
Tomorrow will determine everything!
Whether I’ll have a friend or a foe
Everything will be determined tommorow
😕😕😕
