THE ONE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR

CHAPTER 24 🌹

MATILDA’S POV
Get up right now!!! He yelled and I scoffed. And What’s gonna happen if I don’t? I asked without opening my eyes but he kept quiet and didn’t reply and I was forced to open my eyes and laughed on seeing him point a gun at my forehead.

I’m tired of your useless drama, as I’ve said, I’ve got no time so I gotta get rid of you and leave here. I’m giving you the grace of saying your last prayer before dying… He said

Would you at least Let me use my phone? I need to hear the voice of my loved ones for the last time… I said and took my legs off the table and reached for my purse to take out my phone.

You’re not so smart you know, I know you couldn’t have come here alone and be this confident. So I wanna surprise you by bringing in your muse… He said and the door opened andJohn entered with some strong looking guys.

I w¡dened my eyes in pretence of being surprised to see him. Wh..wh.. what’s happening? I asked in a stutter and he laughed.

You must be surprised to see your boss in my apartment. I f-cking warned you not to come with anyone, your stubbornness will cost him his life now. “Shoot him” he ordered

Wait! I said and they paused. Let me guess, you can’t just kill me in one go, I know you’re not that merciful. So let them come take me instead since it’s your plan to make me writhe in pain before dying… I said

“Wow! You’ve indeed become smart. Come get her” he said and one of the guys holding John came towards me and I stood up to welcome him.

I stepped on him the moment he touched me and sprayed the pepper spray in my hand on his face and john took that as an opportunity to fight the remaining guy.

Their boss was about shooting John when I quickly sprayed the substance on his face too and hit his hand making the gun drop.

One of the cops that has been disguising as one of his employees came in firing shots at the men that came running in on hearing their boss scre-m.

I laughed at him on seeing the cops and few reporters run in.

I guess it’s the end for you already. You made a great mistake by letting your best warriors come for me that night making them lose their lives. I know we wouldn’t have been able to fight you if you’ve got skilled fighters working for you.

Turn yourself in now and go accept the judgement given to you… I said but he laughed instead with tears streaming down his cheek out of the reaction of the substance I sprayed on his face.

I guess you all didn’t know I have everything well planned. I told you earlier that I’ve got no time and I have to leave on time. I promise to comeback for you… He said and before we knew it, he pressed a button and everywhere became dark only I us to hear his footsteps as he ran off. the cops started firing shots at the direction he was without seeing him.

“Culprit escaping towards 2:00! over” one of the cops said as we all ran out of the room. “Surround the building now!!!” another one said to their colleagues outside.

“To the rooftop now! He’ll be leaving in a chopper” Chris tipped us off and they all ran up. “Go wait for us in the car, you can’t be here. We don’t know what he’s planned” John said to me but I refused and ran with the cops to the rooftop.

Before we could reach the rooftop, he’s escaped but the cops didn’t give up on firing shots at the chopper as it departed which they returned till they went higher.

Tears streamed down my cheek as the thought of him escaping got me.

Relax dear, the plane’s being monitored. He’s been declared wanted, so he can’t escape that easily… John said to pacify me and I wiped my tears.

The cops arrested the ones that were lucky to be alive and we all departed.

I checked my phone few minutes later and the news of him escaping popped up. I’m sure everyone that sees this video would blame the cops for their incapability… I thought

I think it’s time we let the cops know about Cassandra too, she might try to make a move now that her boss has escaped the country too.. I said as we drove into the compound.

That’s what I planned on doing, the cops will be here soon as I call them. I just need to make her confess her crimes before getting her arrested… He replied

Don’t allow anyone in or out of my compound without my consent and y’all should surround the house. Anything could happen any moment from now… He said to the gatekeeper and his bouncers

Babe! Are you okay? Anita said as she came to hug me immediately I entered. “I’m fine but just sad our efforts were in vain” I replied.

I’m sorry about that dear, I know he can’t keep slippering off the cops hand forever, he’d be apprehended soon, just know that.

I hope so. I have to take a shower and get some rest, we have plans on making Cassandra confess that she’s working for him… I replied

“Y’all should gather, I’ve got some business to do with you” I heard John say to everyone as I was about ascending the stairs.

Alright sir! They said in unison.

“Is everything okay with you?” Danielle asked through a text message. “Yeah!” I replied “I need you to keep an eye on Cassandra, she might be planning something already” I texted again.

“Alright! I’ll head to her room now” She texted back and another message popped up which I clicked on immediately and it was a video clip John sent to me.

“Wow! What a smart lady, I guess I won’t have to rest again” I said and dashed out of the room. “What’s wrong, where are you going to?” Anita who was in the room with me asked as she walked behind me. “Follow me if you wanna know” I answered and kept walking.

I knocked on Cassie’s door and she opened it after hearing my voice.

Hey girl! I said and sat on her bed. What’s wrong, what’s with these baggages? I asked without not allowing her to reply my greeting.

Oh! I was gonna ask the boss for permission. I just got a call from home. My mom sent for me, she said it’s a must that I come. So I was gonna ask him for few days off… She lied and I smiled

“The boss is seeking for your attention” Danielle said as she entered the room as well.

“Oh! I’ll be right there” She said and stood up. “Can I use your phone for a while?” I asked as I took it from the bed.

Sure, but what do you wanna use it for? She asked. “I just need to check somethings out. Go answer the boss’s call, you wouldn’t wanna keep him waiting, right? I said

Oh! You’ve got to unlock your phone for me I don’t know your password… I said and handed the phone to her.

She unlocked it and I could see her leer change to a scared one and I was forced to snatch it from her.

“I’ve sent your balance to your account, so leave that house immediately and get rid of this goddmn phone if you don’t wanna be caught” I read aloud.

What does this mean? I asked her, but she ran out of the room instead ignoring my question.

If only you knew you’ve just jumped from a hot frying pan to the main blazing fire… I said and shrugged before leaving her room while Anita followed.

CHAPTER 25 🌹

“Excuse me sir, I was told you sent for me” Cassie said to john as she got to the sitting room. “Oh! Yeah, I was gonna send you some errand, but what are you doing right now?” he asked. “Uhmn! I was arranging some of my belongings into my travelling box. I was gonna ask you for permission to take few weeks off work, my mom sent for me and said it’s really important that I show up” she replied

I hope all is well with her, Why the sudden call? He asked. “I tried persuading her to discuss or send whatever it is she wanna say or give me on the phone or through dispatch riders, but she insisted on me coming to her and please sir, I’d love to answer her call this time. It’s been really long since I saw her and she doesn’t call for me just anyhow, she hates to disrupt my daily activities… she replied

Sure I’d let you go, you know our parents should never be taken for granted but I’d let you go after I finish business with everyone of you… john said and called for other employees attention. “I’m so sorry for this emergency meeting. I know I shouldn’t be sorry though, I’m your boss afterall but I gotta respect you all because you have your individual rights. All I need from you is just simple response.

Who among you is a snitch here? I mean who among secretly works for someone? He asked. “Excuse me Cassie, you’ve got a message you haven’t replied to” Matilda said as she came in with her phone in her hand.

You can see we’re in the middle of a discussion so keep whatever you have for he till the end of the meeting… john replied and she remained calm.

Since y’all denied being the odd one among us, then I’m left with no other choice than to let you know I’m aware of your actions. Y’all should turn to the projector… he said and they all turned to see the video being displayed.

What I wanna know is why you’ve been leaving the main house to receive calls at the garden, and i’d love to see your phone… Chris said to Cassandra who was fretting already.

I just do not like disturbing people when I’m on call, so that’s why I go out of the house sometimes… She said trying to hide her fear.

Are you trying to deny the fact that you don’t work for anyone? You’re not he one responsible for all that has been happening to Matilda? He said in a more serious and angry tone.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, why would I be responsible for her misfortunes? She replied and he clicked on another scene that shows how she poisoned the juice she gave Matilda da the night they were leaving for the party.

I know you can’t deny what you’re seeing now. I would’ve told John to help you limit the punishment you’d be given at the court but your lies won’t just allow me to… He said

I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt her. I was only working on the mission I was given and I accepted the mission because the lay was huge and I needed a way of surviving… She pleaded

You don’t look poor, and I’m sure he isn’t the first and only person you’d worked for… John replied

Her boss already asked her to leave the house before she gets caught. I guess that’s why she decided to escape by giving the stupid excuse… Matilda said after showing the message to John and Chris

“Let them in” john said to the gatekeeper through the signal he sent. Make sure you interrogate her properly and she musn’t be granted on bail… He said to the cops before they took her away.

Now that the bug is gone, I hope you all will learn something from everything that has been happening. You can all return to your duties… John said to his remaining employees and they all dispersed.

Few days later, the news of Mr Robert( Matilda’s nightmare) arrest spread all over the internet as it became the talk of the town as soon as it was publised with evidence of his arrest.

OMG! I’m a free bird, like I’ve got no reason to be scared of breathing peacefully again… Matilda said to Anita with enthusiasm

Relax! Why don’t you confirm the news from your boss and others before jubilating? Anita replied, just then a call from Chris came in.

I’m sure you’ve seen the news already, I just wanna know how happy you’re about it and I’ve gotten my answer already, have a nice day… He said as soon as she accepted the call.

I seriously can’t thank you enough. You fought so hærd just to see me become happy once again, I’m surprised and happy at the same time. I just hope they’d give him the proper punishment he deserves and do not bother bringing him back to the country… Matilda said to Gabriel as they chatted online

You’re welcome, I just did what I ought to have done and it’s more like saving a wh0le country because no one knows who is next target is… He replied

I couldn’t laugh when Chris told me he got arrested at the hospital he went to undergo plastic surgery and was arrested just as he was about entering the operation theatre. He must’ve been so desperate to the extent of trying to change his face… She said again

He will be brought back home for proper court arraign… He said

I’d love that too but I’m scared of him escaping again…She replied

“He can’t do that, not anymore, all those working for him and with him got arrested so he’s left with no other option than to surrender he’s been properly monitored” he said

Alright! Talk to you some other time, I gotta study, my exam will be commencing in few days time… She replied
