HER QUEST FOR REVENGE
CHAPTER 16đ„
âIâm sorry I interrupted you guys, Iâll leave nowâ She faked a smile and walked out of the studio.
âWhat have you done?â Nathaniel asked with an angry expression.
He dashed out of the studio before she could reply to him.
Unfortunately, Roxanna is already gone. He sighed sadly.
Anger took over him and he walked back into the studio fuming in anger.
He grabbed Cordeliaâs hand firmlyâŠ.
âWhat are you doing here. I thought I made it very clear to you, I donât want to marry youâ He said as he added pressure on her arm.
âYouâre hurting meâ She said wincing in pain.
He released her and ruffled his hair, he then turned back to her.
âLeaveâ Nathaniel said
âBut IâŠ.â
âI said leave!!!â He shouted
Cordelia flinched and ran out of the studio.
âWhy is it that when I finally fall for someone, something must ruin it allâ He said to no one in particular.
He walked out of his studio and boarded his car then drove off heading to her houseâŠ
__________
Immediately the cab dropped her home, she paid him and ran into the house.
Suzy saw Roxanna and smiledâŠ
âOh youâre back home, I wasâŠ.â
She couldnât finish her word as Roxanna ran pass her.
She entered her room and locked the door then sat down on the floor as she cried sobbed loudly.
She held her chest.
âIt hurts really badâ She said admist her tears.
Suzy knocked on the door worriedly as she heard Roxanna crying. She tried to open the door but it was locked, she knocked again
âRoxy, whatâs wrong? Please open the doorâ Suzy said while banging the doorâŠ.
âJust got away, let me be. I need to be aloneâ Roxanna scre-med while crying.
Suzy sighed and stopped knocking but she sat down on the doorstep, waiting for her to calm down.
Roxanna stood up from the floor and walked to the mirror in front as she stared at her reflection.
âWhat were you first of all expecting? That he would love you?â Roxanna asked her reflectionâŠ
She broke into more tears as she began hiccupingâŠ
âWhy canât he love me? Iâm I not beautiful for his liking?â She said.
She punched the mirror and it broke into pieces producing a shattering noiseâŠ
Suzy stood at alert as she heard the noise of broken mirror.
She stood and kicked the door open and gasped as she saw broken pieces of the mirror lying on the floor and blood dripped from Roxannaâs hand to the broken pieces.
Roxanna had her head down as tears cascaded her cheek falling on the ground in droplets
Suzy rushed to her and held her bruised hand.
âOh my God, look at your hand. Itâs bleedingâ Suzy said.
âThatâs nothing compared to the state my heart isâ Roxanna said in a whisper.
Suzy held her shoulder and made her face her.
âWhatâs wrong, tell meâ Suzy said.
âI saw him, I saw him k-ss another girl. Why canât he love me. My wh0le life, I felt nothing but suffering. Iâm I cursed? Why canât I be happy for once in my lifeâ Roxanna said in tearsâŠ
Suzy hugged her patting her back. She placed her head on her shoulder and cried till her heart content
She helped her treat and dress her wound then the maids cleaned the mess in her house. The door was repaired.
Suzy succeeded in making her sleep. She took one last glance at her and then walked out of her room.
*I really feel for you Roxy* Suzy thought as she walked downstairs.
___________
Nathaniel dashed out of his car as soon as he arrived her house.
They was some crazy traffic which delayed him.
He ran to the gate and rang the bell while pacing to and fro. A guard opened the gate and he pushed him aside walking in the house.
He entered the living room and Suzy was surprised to him here worse at this state. If someone sees him, theyâll think he has grown mad.
âWhat are you doing here?â Suzy asked.
âWhereâs Roxanna, I need to speak to her. Itâs urgentâ He said as he made to climb up the stairs
Suzy pulled him back.
âShe isnât in the mood to talk right nowâ Suzy said
âItâs urgent that I speak to her, pleaseâ He said.
âListen, you need to understand. She is suffering right now and you know the reason. I know you know sheâs really into you, and when she saw what transpired between you and that girl, she grown mad. Please let her rest for today, youâll speak to her tomorrowâ Suzy said.
He sighed and took one last glance at the stairs before walking out of the house.
____________
Jennifer laid on her bed and sighed for the up tenth time
âTomorrow Kevin will ask Roxanna outâ She muttered.
She sat up and walked out of her room and almost immediately Nathaniel stormed into his room and banged the door close
_______Next morning
Roxanna opened her eyes and squinted them before staring at the ceiling.
Honestly she doesnât want to leave her room but she has to, today the band are having rehearsal for their new song.
She climbed down the bed and dragged her feet to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and took a bath then dressed back her wound before walking out of the bathroom.
She applied her body cream and then wore white gown that ended above her knees with a black leather jacket. She then wore black stylist boots and then brushed her hair. She looked beautiful as usual but her mood made her look dullâŠ
She picked up her bag and walked out of her room. She entered the dining room and ate. The once lively and cheerful time they had when eating breakfast was now dull and quiet.
After she was done eating she stood up.
âSuzy, Iâll wait for you in the carâ She said and walked out of the house.
After some minutes Suzy joined her and the driver drove them to their studio. They got down and walked to the studio.
The rehearsal began, although Roxanna sang with a dull expression even the sound producer seemed to notice it as he asked them to stop.
âRoxanna, youâre voice is kinda dull. Whereâs the vibrant Roxanna that I knewâ The producer said.
âIâm sorry, Iâm not just in my mood todayâ She replied.
They continued with their rehearsals and after about as hour it was done. The girls walked out of the studio.
âWhatâs wrong with Roxyâ Olivia whispered to Suzy.
âSheâs going through a severe moment of depressionâ Suzy replied
âPoor girlâ Yvonne saidâŠ.
Roxanna left the girls and walked to no particular direction, maybe with that sheâll be able to forget about him
âRoxannaâ
She stopped on her tracks as she heard someone call her name. Tears gathered in her eyes as she heard who it was.
She slowly turned and face him then faked a smile.
âHey Nateâ She said.
Nathaniel walked closer to her and noticed her bandaged hand. He felt his heart bleed as he already figured out the he was the cause if it.
âUm Roxy, about what you saw yesterday I justâŠâ
âItâs okay I understand, I once told you that Iâll know my limitâ She said.
âNow if youâll excuse me, I have somewhere else to goâ She said and turned then made to leave but Nathaniel held her hand.
By that time the crowd were slowly gathering around them.
Roxanna turned and looked at his hand holding hers and then at his face.
âWhat anything wrong?â Roxanna asked.
âYou love me right?â Nathaniel said staring deep in her eyes.
Roxanna looked down and removed her hands from his grip.
âI do, very much yesâ She replied as the tears she was fighting back came out.
âPlease, Iâll like you to keep your distance away from me. Maybe with that Iâll be able to erase you from my heartâ She said and turned then began walking away.
âWhat if I tell you that I love youâ Nathaniel said looking down
Roxanna stopped on her tracks trying to see if her ears where still functional.
Nathaniel walked up to her and stood in front of her. He lifted her head up and made her look at him.
âFrom the first time that I set my eyes on you, I already felt that you were someone special but I was too dumb to realize and accept my feelings. Then when you where away for those three days, I kept thinking about you everywhere I go, I see you everything I do, you are always in my heart. It was from these three days that I realized and accepted my feelings for youâ Nathaniel said as Roxanna stared at him
He held her hand and placed it on his chest.
âFrom that day onwards, this heart beats and beats only for you Roxy. Roxanna, Iâm sorry I made you cry, I made you hurt yourselfâŠseeing you cry is just like my heart have been stabbed over and over againâŠplease forgive me. The truth is that Iâm head over heels for you Roxy, I love you much more than you could imagineâ He said staring deep into her eyes.
Roxanna mouth parted as she stared at Nathaniel, not being able to believe what he was saying.
âI guess actions speak louder than wordsâ He said.
He drew her closer to him by the wa-ist and then leaned towards her as he claimed her l-ips, kssing her tenderly and passionately.
Roxanna froze such as her brain. She wasnât able to record it in her brain. Nathaniel, her long time crush and her first love is kssing her.
The wh0le crowd was in an uproar as they scre-med. Some took pictures, some took videos while others where busy scre-ming and cheering for them.
The girls stood by the corner and smiled as they hugged themselves while watching the rom-ntic scene infront of them.
After some minutes they broke they kss in order to catch their breaths.
Nathaniel released her and turned to the crowd.
âHey everyone out here, listen to me. You see that beautiful and charming lady over there? I love her, I love her so much. I can do anything just to make her smile⊠Now if anyone try some shits with her, youâre gonna be facing me because I can kill for her. Sheâs my joy giver, my second mother, my heart keeper, my smile giverâŠinfact sheâs all to me. I LOVE YOU ROXANNA MARTINEZ, IâM CRAZY OVER YOU GIRLâ Nathaniel scre-med facing the crowd as they recorded everything.
Roxanna all along was busy blushing and smiling widely while holding her chest which was beating very fast.
He turned and to Roxanna
âI love you Roxanna, never you doubt thatâ He said and pulled her in for a hug.
They broke the hug and he looked down at her. He ducked her hair behind her ears and then leaned forward as he k-ssed her tenderly.
While they were busy having their ro..mantic moments together, Cordelia was in her car burning with anger as watched them.
âWhatâs the name of that girl?â She asked her driverâŠ
âRoxanna Martinezâ The driver replied.
She turned up her window and the driver drove them away.
CHAPTER 17đ„
Jennifer stayed at home sulking in her room.
âIâm sure by right now, Kevin must have proposed to Roxannaâ She said.
âI should be happy for her, but why do I feel so sad and jealousâ She said again.
Her phone rang. She picked it up and sighed as she saw Catherine name appearing.
âCatherine?â Jennifer said.
âWhere are you girl? I thought we had plans of going to the mall today?â Catherine said through the phone.
She spranged up from bed and walked to her wardrobe.
âOh yes I forgot, let me just get ready. Where shall we meet?â Jennifer asked as she removed a clothe to wear.
âMeet me at the parking lot beside the mallâ Catherine said.
âAlrightâ She hung up and ran to the bathroom.
She took a quick bath and rubbed her cream then wore her dress. It was a crop top with a blue jeans and some sneakers. She tied her hair in a messy bun and picked up her bag before walking out of the room.
She boarded one of the cars in the compound and drove off to the mall. She parked her car in the parking lot and came out of it.
She scanned round the area in order to see Catherine but she was no where to be found.
She turned and was surprised to see Kevin standing behind her.
âOh hi Kelvinâ She said.
âHiâ He replied smiling at her
*Why is he smiling so much today* Jennifer thought.
âHave you seen Catherine around, we were supposed to meet hereâ Jennifer said with her eyes scanning round the area
âSheâs not comingâ Kelvin said.
Jennifer looked at him suspiciouslyâŠ
He brought his hands to her face, offering her a rose.
She looked at the rose and then at his face. She slowly took the rose from him.
âThanksâ She said smelling it.
âYouâre welcomeâ He replied.
âSo how did it go, did Roxanna say yes?â Jennifer asked.
Kelvin chuckled lightly.
âAnd who said I was going to propose to Roxanna?â He said.
âBut you said you will propose to the girl you love?âJennifer asked, confused.
Kelvin chuckled again and took a step closer to her. She took a step back he continued like that till he pinned her on the wall.
âListen, I see Roxanna as my little sister nothing else. The only person I love and I will ever love is youâ He said with a serious expression.
âMe?â Roxanna said with eyes wide.
He nodded and held her wa-ist.
âNow Iâm asking you this, will you be my girlfriend?â He said as he brought his face closer to her.
âUh, yes!!â Jennifer said, too shocked to record everything that is going onâŠ
He smiled and slowly pressed his l-ips on her. Jennifer was too shocked to kss him back.
They broke the kss and stared into each other eyes.
âI love you tooâ Jennifer said feeling unmeasurable happinessâŠ
____________
Nathanielâs bodyguards ushered the crowd to disperse.
Roxanna walked up to the girls and they had a group hug.
âIâm so happy for you Roxyâ Yvonne saidâŠ
âThanks girlsâ She replied smiling widelyâŠ
They broke the hug and then Nathaniel stepped inâŠ
âIf youâll excuse me Iâll borrow her for some minutesâ He said holding Roxannaâs hand.
âSure, sheâs all yoursâ Suzy said.
He nodded and they walked to his car. He opened the door for her to enter and he entered shortly.
The driver then drove them to a classic restaurant.
âLetâs have our first date as a coupleâ He said and held her hand as they alighted the car.
They walked into the restaurant and booked a table for the VIPs. The food they ordered where bought to them and they began eating.
âOpen upâ Nathaniel said as he brought his fork to her l-ips.
She smiled and opened her mouth and he fed her. She chewed on it slowly while smiling.
They ate together while taking turns to feed each other.
*Are they dating?
*Wow they look good together!
The people in the restaurant kept murmuring as they watched the newest couple in town having their moment together.
They walked out of the restaurant with Roxanna holding his arm. Right now it just looks like a dream to her and that she might wake up one minutes or another.
âBabe? I need to go to my studio, you know. For my rehearsal, do you mind coming with me?â He asked her.
âSure letâs get going!!â Roxanna said and they entered his car which took them to his studio.
____________
âBoss your son has safely arrived the countryâ A man said
âGood, send one of my men to bring him hereâ The man said, smoking his cigarette as usual.
__________
A man with dark hair and blue highlights on it descended the stairs of the plane.
He ran his hands through his hair, enjoying the cool breeze. He walked up to two men who were dressed in black suit wearing black shades.
âWelcome back Mr Alec Jenkins. Your father asked us to bring you safely to his head quarterâ One of the guards said.
âAlrightâ He replied with a smile.
He handed his suitcase to them and then entered the car. They mentioned entered shortly and then drove awayâŠ
________
Roxanna and Nathaniel parked the car at the parking lot before alighting it. Roxanna made to walk away but Nathaniel pulled her back and came her.
âAll this just feels like a dream to me and scared that Iâll wake up one day and find out that you never loved meâ Roxanna said.
He held her chin.
âHey, this isnât a dream. I love you and I really mean it, Iâve never felt this way for any woman in my lifeâ Nathaniel said.
Roxanna smiled
âI love you too Nateâ She said.
He leaned closer and then claimed her l-ips. His hands found itâs way to her butt and he squeezed it.
Roxanna shivered, enjoying everything he was doing. They broke the k-ss
âCome on letâs go, you donât want to be late for your rehearsalâ Roxanna said and held his hands as they walked out of the studio.
__________
Suzy was walking down the street with her bodyguards beside her as she was speaking to Jennifer on the phone.
âReally he proposed to youâ She said.
âIâm so happy for you Jenny, Nathaniel also confessed his feelings to Roxy, it was so rom-nticâ Suzy said on the phone
âOkay see you laterâ She hung up the call.
âIâm so happy for themâ She thought as she was strolling on the highway.
He saw Rulian walking towards her. She smiled and made to wave at him but stopped as he wrapped his hands around her, giving her a hug.
âThank you so much Suzy. I finally got a job because of you, my mother will be so happy when sheâll hear about the newsâ He said hugging her tightly.
She patted his back, still surprised by the hug.
âUh, itâs cool. Youâre welcomeâ She said.
He released her and smiled widely, for the first time.
âSo what job did you get?â Suzy asked.
âYou wonât believe me, your dad hired me as his personal assistantâ He said
âWow, thatâs great then. Iâm happy for youâ Suzy said with a smileâŠ
âCome on letâs go and celebrate itâ Suzy said and they walked away
__________
Yvonne was in Mason house, she was in the kitchen cooking lunch for the two of them when she felt someone arms round her wa-ist.
She smiled as she already knew who it was.
âWhat are you cooking, it smells so goodâ He said as he rested his head on her shoulder.
âWell Iâm making chicken salad for us, please donât distract me or else youâre gonna eat it burnedâ She said as she sliced the carrots.
âHow will I distract you? You mean like thisâ He said and kssed her.
âI love youâ He replied and pecked her l-ips before walking to the living room
Yvonne smiled and concentrated back on her cooking.
âOhh no, the mayonnaise is finishedâ She said as she looked at the empty bottle.
âMason, Iâll be back in a jiffy. Let me get a bottle at the store nearby.â She said.
âAlright be careful okay?â He said from the living room.
âSure loveâ She said and fixed her dress well before walking out of the house.
Mason doesnât like maids in his house thatâs why he prefer doing his things on his own such as shopping, cleaning etcâŠ
Yvonne arrived at the store and bought a bottle before walking back home.
Suddenly a car stopped in front of her and the car door opened.
A man came out of it and walked up to Yvonne with a smirk on his l-ips.
The bottle Yvonne was holding fell and shattered into pieces as she saw who walked and stood in front of her.
The memories of that day when he touched her flashed in her brain.
âWe meet again beautifulâ Alec said with a smile on his faceâŠ
__________
đ¶ And Iâll never fall apart!!!đ¶
Nathaniel removed his headset and walked up to his producer and Roxanna.
âYou were fantastic as usualâ His producer said.
âThanks broâ He said as they bumped fists.
He turned to Roxanna and smiled
âLike he said you were fantasticâ She said with a smile.
âI deserve a treat thenâ Nathaniel said
He leaned down to where she was sitting and kssed her shortly.
âThis is pure oppression. Iâm dying!!â The producer said and they laughed.
âAlright weâll be leaving. See you later Borisâ He said and held Roxannaâs hand.
âAlright Nateâ His producer (Boris) said
They walked out of the studio and went to the parking lot.
Roxanna made to enter the car but he stopped her and made her face him.
âWhy do I seem not to get enough of your l-ips?â He said.
Roxanna chuckled and stood on her toes then kssed him on the l-ips.
She broke the kss
âIâm all yours babyâ She said.
âThatâs temptation. I might ne tempted toâŠâ
âStop that you corrupted soulâ She said and hit him playfully. He laughed loudly
Suddenly a car drove towards them at full speed.
Their eyes wÂĄdened as they saw the car coming at them.
Roxanna quickly pulled Nathaniel out of the way and they both fell on the ground.
The car stopped and two men came out of the car which masks on and guns in their hands.
Roxanna quickly stood up and scanned through the surrounding. She saw the men approaching them with guns aimed at them.
âWhatever happens, donât moveâ Roxanna whispered to Nathaniel and he looked at her confusedly.
Roxanna stood up and placed her hands on her head as she slowly walked towards them.
âPlease take me and donât harm Nathanielâ She said
She slowly walked and stood in front of them. The man grabbed her arm harshly and aimed the gun on her head.
âWhat if we have fun with her before killing herâ One of them said.
Nathaniel got angry and made to attack them but Roxanna gave him the looks which says âDonât you dareâ
He stood quiet and clenched his fistâŠ
Roxanna swiftly held the arm the gun was in and then twist it to his back before kicking him on the back.
The other one made to shoot but she ducked a the bullet flew pass her head. She elbowed him on the stomach and then lifted her legs up as she gave him a kick on the face.
She quickly picked the gun he was holding and aimed it on his head.
âTell me who sent you or elseâŠâ
She lifted the gun up and shot it in the air before aiming it on his head again
Nathaniel stood there, completely shocked by her new attitude. She was completely different and the way she fought together with her tone. It looks like sheâs good in it.
âWhat are you waiting for, speak!!â She said in anger. Messing with her is okay, but messing with Nathaniel, she canât tolerate it.
The second man stood up and made to attack her but she quickly aimed the gun at him and shot his legs.
He pointed back the gun at the manâŠ
âMy patience is running downâ She said.
âOkay, Iâll talk but please donât shoot meâ He said as he stared at Roxanna with fear in his eyes
