Chapter 22🌟✨
Fred 💔
“Boss!”
“What is so urgent that I have to attend to it personally?”
Jerry steps aside and I see a box with a little note on it. “For Fred’s eyes only” it says. I rip the box open and an awfully bad smell welcomes me.
I take a step back first and cover my nose with my palm.
I lean forward to see what’s in,side the box, it’s a dead body cut into tiny pieces and the face smashed.
I see a piece of paper tuck in a corner in the box.
“Get the paper for me” I ordered one of my boys.
He picks the paper and hands it to me. I open it and read its contents.
*Hi, Fred… How do you like
My gift. You took something
of great importance from
me, I’ll do the same to you
It’s just one of your
boys this time, I bet you
don’t even know his name.
Next time it’ll be your little
Fiancée head in the box,
Just enjoy the time you
Have with her now*
I clenched the paper in my hand.
If anybody want to take revenge they should take it on me, they shouldn’t involve ugly.
“Who sent this?”
“We don’t know, boss. We only saw this box” Jerry said.
“So, you mean anybody can come in here and drop a bomb and leave without being detected??!” I asked angrily.
They all bowed their heads. Where are my boys foolish…
“Whose team was on guard?!!”
“Mine” Jerry said.
“Yours? I thought your boys are always on guard, so how was it possible for someone to sneak pass them?”
“T-they were all knocked out when I got here”
“What?!! How?!”
Jerry look at his team expecting them to explain their selves. It was silent, none of them was bold enough to step forward.
“The boss asked a question” Jerry yelled.
One of them steps forward, I can see his body trembling.
“We-passed-out-after-eating-our-lunch” he explains with a shaky voice.
F-ck!! This is f-cked up! How is it even possible to spike their drinks and foods. I turn towards Micheal, he has his head face down.
Hmm, he might have something to do with this.
“Boys listen up! I’ll let this slide, next time something like this happens, I’ll have your heads separated from your necks”
They nod frighteningly.
I think I need a drink.
“Fred… ”
“Jerry, not now!” I head out of the warehouse. I reach for my phone as I approach my car, I dialed Gray’s number.
He picks at the first ring.
“Gray, dispatch some of your men to follow and protect ugly secretly”
“Yes, boss”
“Also meet me in my favorite bar”
“Ok!”
I hang up and enter my car.

Eva 💘
Aubrey rush towards me when she sees me running into the hospital.
“What happened to you, Eva? You’re bleeding, did you have an accident?” She asked.
“Forget about me, Bree. Where’s Jason? How is he? What did the doctor say? Is he gonna make it? Oh my God! All this happened because of me, he didn’t deserve this” I cried.
“I’d say he deserves worse”Aubrey mutters under her breath.
Sean comes to my side and puts his arm on my shoulder.
“Eva, don’t cry. You should know Bree loves exaggerating things” he wipes my tears. “Jason is fine, According to the doctor, he only fell unconscious because of the force his tooth use in coming out….
And also Fred’s punches were pretty hærd”
“So, he is ok? When will he wake up?” I asked anxiously.
“Yes, he is ok. And he should wake up any moment” Sean said.
I released a long relieved breath that I didn’t know I was holding.
“Thank God”
I don’t know what I’d have done if he didn’t make it.
“Take me to his ward”
“Ok” Sean leads me to Jason’s ward, while Aubrey follows behind us.
I guess she doesn’t hate him to the core, at least she brought him to the hospital, so I guess there’s a small part in her heart that doesn’t hates him.
He stops at a door and open it. I enter and see Jason bound with bandages, everywhere in his face is covered, the only things seen are his eyes.
I sits next to him and take his hand in mine as tears drops from my eyes.
My heart breaks for him.
“Jay, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for any of these to happen, I’m really, deeply sorry. Can you forgive me?” He doesn’t say anything he just lies still, if I didn’t hear the heart monitor beeping I’d thought he’s dead. “I’ll make it up to you when you wake. I’ll also make Fred come here and beg you”
Wait, can I really?
Suddenly My stomach growls loudly, that’s when I remembered that I need food.
It’s 4:44pm and I had only had breakfast, if I don’t eat something now I might pass out.
But how can I leave Jason alone? What if he wakes up and there’s no body by his side?
How can my stomach even think of food at a time like this?
I feel a tap on my shoulder, it’s Sean.
“Eva, why don’t you get something to eat first. Your stomach has been growling, I might get deaf from the sound”
“Yeah, also I think I should get a nurse to clean your wounds” Aubrey said, she observe my knees and right elbow. “How did you even sustain this injuries?”
I chuckles lightly.
“I kinda jump out of a moving car, but it’s no big deal”
“What?!!” Sean and Aubrey shouts.
“Woman, are you crazy? Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Sean exclaimed.
“Why did you do that? What gave you that crazy idea?” Aubrey asked me.
I sigh.
“Ok, here’s what happened. I was in the car with Fred, after you texted me the address, I asked him to stop the car but he didn’t, I even threatened him that I’ll jump out, but he still didn’t stop so I had no choice but to jump off”
Aubrey knocks my forehead lightly.
“Do you think Jason deserves that big sacrifice from you? Listen to me Eva, it’s time you make Jason understand that you don’t love him and you two can never work. All these things you are doing is just giving him the wrong idea, come clean with him” She said.
I look at Jason. Have I really been giving him the wrong idea? But he knew I have always seen him as my older brother.
“But he’s my friend, how can I avoid him?”
“Eva, this time Fred only got him hospitalized, I don’t wanna imagine what Fred would do to him next time. Fred loves you, instead of wasting your time giving Jason false hope, why not put all your energy in helping Fred accept his feelings in a less aggressive way” Sean said.
Why is everyone saying Fred loves me? That beast can never love me….. I honestly regret falling in love with him.
Now my love is one sided and I’m the one suffering greatly.
“But….”
“Eva, Sean will help you get a cab and you will go home”
“Why?” I asked.
“We can’t let Jason see you when he wakes up, he needs to know his place in your life, he is not your number one priority so stop treating him like one”
“But Jason is gonna be here all alone when he wakes up”
“Don’t worry Eva. Sean and I will be here for him, I’ll text you when he’s up, then you can come back. I just don’t want you to be the first person he’ll see”
I look at Jason for a while. I guess she’s right, it’s because I didn’t stop Jason when he was claiming I’m his girlfriend that’s why he’s laying on a hospital bed right now.
I need to make him let go of his fantasies about us.
“Sean, let’s go”
“Hmm, but first we see a nurse on our way out”
“Why?”
“Your wounds, you’re kinda limping”.
“Oh, ok!”

Fred💔
I open my fifth bottle of scotch and take large gulps.
The bar is filled tonight, I can hear the loud blast of music but I can’t hear what is actually playing, my mind is occupied.
I see two slender figures walking towards me and stops right in front of me.
One leans on my table, her cle-vage full on display.
The other girl stands behind, running her fingers through my hair and rubbing my ear.
“Hey, handsome! Long time no see, how about we take this party elsewhere?” The one leaning on the table asks in a flirtatious tone.
I shake my head.
“Leave” I said.
“Leave? Don’t you wanna have fun with us?”.
Yeah, fun. I normally don’t miss an offer like this, but why am I chasing them away today….
“Leave!” I bang on the table.
They flinched back and hurries away as if they saw a gun in my hand.
I hear Grayson chuckled besides me.
“Ok, you gotta tell me what happened to you…. You are not your normal self today” he said.
I deep my hand in my jacket pocket and bring out the note I received and pass it to him.
He takes it and reads it for a while, then sighed.
“Now I know why you suddenly want my boys to guard Eva in secret” he said.
I nod and take another large gulp from my scotch.
“Gray, I think I just made a very big mistake”
“You? Made a mistake? Fred, you don’t make mistakes”
“Yeah, but that was before I met ugly. Since I met her I have been behaving foolishly, can you believe I beat someone almost to the point of death because of her? That is something I never do for a woman” I raise my scotch and notice the bottle is empty. “I’ve even made her my wife, I should have let them call off the engagement, and that is my biggest mistake. I shouldn’t have make her my wife”
“Wait… Wait, Eva is your wife?”
“Yeah. Which I’m starting to regret, see the danger she’s in because of me. I think I’ll divorce her and let her go, she’ll be safer that way”
Gray smile.
“Can you really let her go?”
“No! And that’s the problem. I don’t want to be apart from her and I don’t know why!!”
I open another bottle and bring it to my mouth, but grayson takes it from me.
“You’ve had enough alcohol for one night” he keeps it a few inches farther away from me. “Now talking about Eva, let me tell you why you don’t want to let her go”
“Why?”
“It’s because you love her. You are deeply in love with her”
“I love her?” He nods. “What is love? How do I know if I’m in love with her or not?”
“Do you feel your heart beating really fast when you see her coming?” He asked me.
I frown and touch my heart. I do, even mere thinking of her makes my heart beat fast.
“I do”
“When you receive this note how did you feel?”
“I was scared and nothing ever scares me, but when I know this was about ugly I got scared”
“When she’s happy do you feel happy too?”
I think about it, ugly’s smiling face flashed across my eyes.
The way she smiles and laughs makes me wanna join her, and when she’s sad I feel my heart getting tighter and tighter.
I remember when she was sick, even though I don’t know how to cook, I still wanted to make her the best chicken soup, even though I messed up the recipe, I still kept on trying, which is something I have never done for anyone.
I have never tried do hærd to please anyone before, not even myself but I did it for ugly, then it click in my head.
I’m in love… I’m in love!
“Fred?”
“I’m in love with ugly” I said out loud. Then I frown when a thought cross my mind. “Even though I’m in love with her, I still can’t be with her”
“Why?”
“Because she will be in great dangers because of me, I have enemies everywhere. Even my friends are my enemies, so she can’t be safe with me”
“Fred, listen to me. The farther away she is from you the more danger she will be in. She is safer with you, you can only protect her if she is closer to you. At least then you will know when danger is lurking around her”
He’s right. I can’t send her away, my enemies will see that as an opportunity to hurt her.
“Fred, it’s time you face your feelings and show her your love, make her feel how deeply you love her”.
Right….
“And please stop calling her ugly… Call her something else”
I roll my eyes.
“Ok…?!”
I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, I reach out for it and see it’s Bianca.
“Sis, what’s up?”
“Fred, where are you? Eva is home and she….. ” Her voice muffles.
I frown and stands up.
“Bianca, she what… What happened to ugly?” Gray clears his throat and I mouth oops.
“Nothing, just get home soon” then she hangs up.
I keep my phone back in my pocket.
“Gray, I think I’d better head home now”
“Can you drive?”
“Yeah, I’m not drunk” I told him.
“No, I think I should drive you, if something happens I don’t know how I can explain it to the big boss” he said referring to my dad.
I scoff.
“You work for me, Grayson, not my dad”
I picked my car keys and head out.

Eva💘
It’s 10:56pm and Fred is not back yet, Our dinner has gone cold.
Bianca and Royale have already had their dinner and are gone to bed, but I’m still here trying to be a good wife waiting for Fred.
Maybe I should microwave the food. I take the dishes back to the kitchen, I t-rn on the microwave and put them in,side.
After a few minutes, I take them out and put them on the dinning table again.
Then I sit down waiting for Fred.
Soon I hear the main door open, I rush to the living room and see it’s Fred.
He’s about to head upstairs.
“Fred!” I called.
He stops and turn around, he frowns a little and glance at the wall clock.
“It’s late, why are you still up?” He asked.
“Well, I’m waiting for my husband” I limp towards him.
He looks down at my leg and notice the injury on my leg. His frown deepens and he mutters something under his breath.
“I told you not to jump off but you didn’t listen to me, now look how you’ve gotten yourself injured” he said in a concerned voice which I know very well is fake.
I scoff. He thinks he can fool me with his fake concerns.
“Fred, don’t pretend like you care, you and I both know you don’t”
“Who said I don’t care?” He asked in a calm voice.
This is so unlike Fred. What happened to him tonight… Why is he being calm with me.
“I don’t have to be told, your character towards me said it all” I pause. “I know I’m not pretty, according to you I’m ugly and I’m fine by that. But Fred, we are married now, we are husband and wife now, even if you don’t love me you should at least have some respect for me. Look at the time you’re coming home, you should know you left a wife home and she’ll get worried”
“Eva, I… ”
“Don’t say it Fred, I know you don’t love me and I can’t force you to” I gesture towards the dinning table. “That’s your dinner, I just microwave it so it’s still warm. I’m going to bed, good night!”
I turn to go to my room, but Fred caught hold of my hand. He pull me closer to him, my back meets with his chest.
He wraps his arms around my wa-ist, hugging me from behind.
That’s when I perceive it.
The strong smell of alcohol swifts across my nose… has he been drinking….is he drunk? Because the Fred I know wouldn’t hug me.
“Eat with me!” He said.
“I’m not hungry”
“Please, I.. I have something to tell you”
I scoff. Whatever he has to say will wait till tomorrow, I’m still mad at him for sending my friend to the hospital.
“I’m very sleepy, whatever you want to say can wait till tomorrow”
“No, it can’t”
“I’m tired” I said and struggle to get away from his embrace but he simply tightens his hold.
“I love you!”
I stilled. Could it be I’m imagining hear Fred’s voice saying he love me?. Or maybe these are a drunken man’s words.
“I love you, Eva!!”
T. B. C.
Fred finally confessee…..What do you think will be Eva’s reaction……
