My fiance
 
Episode 8
 
Rita walked as briskly as she could,she was holding the ring which Vincent had given her for their engagement.She had to give it to him…………………..her phone rang;she looked at the caller__her dad,she was not picking that.The calls started coming in every second ;her parents,Frank,Angelina and other numbers but she was bent on not picking any.
* * * * * * * * * *
I packed the last of my clothes into my bag,zipped it up and knelt down to pray;something I had just started doing of recent.I was leaving this country for real,I wanted to leave my past behind and start afresh,i have left Rita alone__i wasn’t sending the pictures again,I guess it was my bad luck.At least I had learnt my lesson;I was never going to play around with girls anymore.I locked my door;I had left it in care of Frank to take care of it till am back.I decided to take the public bus because I felt there would be one thing or the other to watch which will keep me from thinking.I got to the bus stop and waited for the bus that was going to take me to the airport.I waited for about 1 hour 30 minutes before one finally came.As I was about to enter,I heard someone call my name,the voice was familiar but there was no way she could be here so I decided not to turn around.I moved forward and I heard my name again and as I turned around I saw Clara standing few meters away from me in her wedding gown.
“Ogbeni shey o n lo ni abi o lo(Mister man are you going or not?)”The driver shouted out to me but I didn’t answer so he left.
She started walking towards me then I saw something which looked like our engagement ring with her;I guess she had come back to return it.

Joyce: Hey baby stop wasting time now
Rita:Let me waste it oh because today I must look my best.
Joyce:Okay oo.But let me ask you something
Rita:What is that?
Joyce:How did you manage to get rid of that guy that was………………you know
Rita:It was very simple.I told him am no longer interested that am about getting married
Joyce:And he took it calmly?
Rita:Of course, what else could he do.
Rita had hidden the fact that I beat her to coma from everyone,she also said the same thing with me;that she fell down and hit her head on something.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Clara:Vince are you going somewhere?
She was nervous and I could see it
Me:Am traveling out of the country
Clara:Wh………….Why?
Me: I just feel like I should just do so, maybe i will be able to forget the past.
Clara:And you were going to leave me behind?
 
Kingsley could not believe what he was hearing.Rita was pregnant?He had just come back five days ago and nothing ever happened between them.’What exactly was she doing when I was not around?’Kingsley asked himself.
Kingsley:Doctor what did you say happened to my wife?
Doctor:Your wife is pregnant sir.
Kingsley:I don’t think you are holding my wife test results maybe you got it mixed up.
Doctor:Sir nothing of such has ever happened in this hosital before.The result shows that she is 1 week pregnant.
Kingsley collected the result,looked at it to confirm but it was still the same thing.
Mr Williams (Snr):What is it Kingsley?
Kingsley handed the paper to his father,he just couldn’t believe it;his fiance whom he had so much trusted had betrayed him.
The wh0le people there(families and friends) started passing the result around;they were all dumbstruck on seeing it.
Mr Williams(Snr):This is unbelievable.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Rita had woken up about an hour ago but she knew she better not step out of the room for now;she had heard the nurses congratulating her about her getting pregnant.
‘What was this all about?’She asked herself.How could she be pregnant?This was not possible.1 week pregnant!!!She had broken up with Vincent 2weeks ago so what was this all about?
* * * * * * * * * * *
I opened my eyes and I looked around;I could see that the room I was in was fully occupied although I could not see those who were there because my eyes were still blurry. They tried talking to me but their voice was faint and I couldn’t pick out what they were saying.After about 2 minutes,my eyes finally become clear and I could see those in the room; my parents,Clara’s parents, Sam’s parents and other friends and family members.I don’t how they got to know that I was with Clara because the next question Sam ask was:
“Vincent where is Clara?”
“Clara…….Clara……..”I said; my memory was just coming back fully,I had to find Clara.I tried to stand up but they all quickly held me down telling me I was too weak to go anywhere. Clara was in some sort of danger I could not really point out but I had the feeling she was in danger.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Clara opened her eyes gradually and looked around her;she was in a beautifully decorated room__typical girl room.She looked around then she saw a lady standing in front of the mirror;the lady was tall,lights complexioned and beautiful (she only saw that when the lady turned to face her).
“Hello”The lady said.She had such a sweet and angelic voice but………………..Clara tried to move but she was unable to move;she looked down at herself and saw that she had been tied to the chair she was sitting on.
Clara:What do you want from me?
Lady:Nothing really.Anyway am Benita.
Clara:I don’t need your name,just let me go and I will give you whatever you ask for.
Benita: Really? By the way,what I need from you is something you can easily give me
Clara:Then let me know me know what it is.
Benita:My fiance Sam
 
.
“Wha……….wha……….what are you saying?”Clara stammered.
Benita:You think am lying.
She went to a drawer;probably her drawer and brought out an album.
“You think am lying,take a look at this”Benita said opening the album roughly in front of Clara.
Benita: You can see for yourself, right? Clara I don’t want you to get hurt.
Clara:Get hurt?
Benita:As long as I want something, I don’t hesitate in using violence to get it. I have been watching you for the past 3 weeks; I was watching your every move,I thought you would quit on time but no;you continued up till this stage.And you even got a friend injured.
The last sentence got Clara;she had totally forgotten about Vincent because of the crisis she was in.
Clara:If anything happens to him,I won’t take it easy with you.
Benita:Really?Anyway if he is someone that is really strong,he will be perfectly fine,I promise you that but why are you so concerned about him?
Clara:What do you have to do with that?
Benita:Miss Michaels you are really funny.You think I don’t know you are still in love with your ex, Vincent?
Clara:What are you insinuating?
Benita:I know you are just trying to get over Vincent but I don’t think you ever will.So you see,there is no need to prolong our discussion, just make one call to Sam;tell him it is over between the both of you and you are free to go home.
Clara looked at Benita with an angry face but to be sincere,she was saying the truth;she was still in love with Vincent,a part of her wanted to spend the rest of her life with him but………
Clara:How am I sure you are going to let me go if I say what you want me to?
Benita:Nice thought.
Benita loosed the rope she used to tie Clara.
Benita:Am sorry for tying you down for too long.
“You can have your phone”Benita said handing Clara her phone.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kingsley:Rita what explanation do you have to make for your dirty acts?
Rita:Please am really sorry I didn’t tell,I was raped.
Kingsley: What?By who?
Rita:Some guys.
Kingsley:Where did it happen?
Rita:I was coming from somewhere then they stopped me on the road, I thought maybe they were police then they…….they…….
Kingsley:Really?
Kingsley started laughing and Rita was startled.
‘Why was he laughing?’Rita thought
Kingsley:You think am a fool, right?You think am going to believe your c–k and bull story? Get out of here before I do something I may end up regretting.
Rita:Kingsley am sorry,I………….
“Get out”Kingsley barked at her.
Rita knew she had lost so she walked away dejectedly.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
“Where is Clara?”Sam asked me.
What type of dumb question was he asking?
“Young man where have you put Clara”He asked again.
I looked at him;am sure this guy is not normal.
Me:Frank please let me have my phone.
I collected my phone from Frank and as I was about to dial a friend’s numbet;a detective,he snatched my phone and threw it on the floor.I was speechless, I wanted to beat him to pulp but the little pain I was still feeling on my stomach made me decide against that.
Sam:Where did you hide Clara?
Me: Young man the question you are asking me does not have an answer because I don’t know about her kidnapping.
Sam:You are such a bloody liar.
Me:If I orchestrated everything,do you expect me to be lying on this bed this minute?
Sam:Am not a fool.I know this is part of your game
Me:For me to get shot?
Sam:Hey stop talking about getting shot,everyone here knows you were shot with a mere rubber bullet.
Me:What???
What was this guy saying? I looked at everyone but they just stared back at me.It means I was really shot with a rubber bullet.
Me:But at least I got injured in the midst of this wh0le thing.
Sam:Oh come on.It is only skin deep.
Me:So you wanted me dead?
Sam:I don’t care if you die or not but it would have been better if you did.
Me:Are you afraid of me because you know your wife-to-be is still in love with me.Most of the people there were shocked;they didn’t who I am.Sam got furious and immediately he grabbed my clothes.
Frank:Guys take it easy. We are still looking for a way to locate Clara and you guys can’t cooperate together,what is all this?
Just then,a call came in.
