20b
30minutes later
I yearned after my nap and stand
Today was the most wretched day of my
life, feeling irritated, lost, bewildered and
alone than I’d ever thought, I can’t believe it’s
been thirty long minutes and no one is back
home yet ,
I just hope mum never talks to me again..
I struggled and was making my way into the
bathroom when I heard a knock from the door
I shouted angrily
“what”
I quickly steady my posture when I heard a
female voice, the door opened slightly and a
nurse made her way in,
I look past the door and saw the two bouncers
still standing there looking more like robots…i
pointed my fingers towards them,
“you guys are gonna hear from me, you are
gonna regret what you did”
Smiling at me, she close the door and stretch
her hand towards me while I took it gently
enough not hurt her soft skin …
“hi Mr Caleb, am nurse amanda”
I blinked rapidly, it’s like something in my
brain just snap into reality when I glanced at
her ..
“hi, come in”
I quickly dusted my bed
“please have your Seat”
“thank you sir, so nice of you… ”
“my mum sent you right”
“yeah”
“is she back home now”
“no, I don’t think so, I honestly wanna
apologize for being late, cause she called me
about forty minutes ago… ” she twisted her lips
“oh no problem,”
She was searching my body and my brain was
quick to realise it was my wound she’s
searching for..
“oh here”
I lifted my cloth up,
She moved towards me, and touched the
surface of the bandage softly …
“Your mum told me its a knife pierce so is the
bandage changed today,, ”
“oh yeah, this morning ”
“well i don’t have much to do then, what about
your drugs have you been taking them, ”
“oh yeah, I think I forgot it back in portharcout
but I would ask mum about it when she gets
back ”
“okay” she stands,
You will have to lie to your other side now
cause I need to loosened the bandage a little
“alright”
And as she does this , my brain suddenly
snapped at a realisation
I swear mom had sent a female nurse on
purpose
God that’s it, mum!!!,
Why can’t she understand my heart is with
Sam only…
No matter how fine or s-xy this girl maybe she
still can’t beat to Sam…
It’s Sam or no one else… Hope mum
understands that sooner
“it’s done sir, I have to go now ”
I struggled up, adjusted my cloth and walked
her to the door…
“Okay thanks nurse,”
I shot the two bouncers a dismayed look once
more giving them another threatning warnings
before closing the door behind me…. ..
Stupid robots
*****
At night
It was like they planned the whole family
meeting…i can’t believe Andrew and John are
in this too ,
I watched mum, dad and my two younger
brothers exchange telling glances, and
suddenly there gaze shifted memotorarily at
me…
“What” I gazed at them randomly
“I don’t think tonight is the right time to hold
any conversation, it’s almost 9.0clock, what
ever you guys wanna talk to me about let’s just
wait till tomorrow, I wanna sleep please”
I said standing on my feet
I saw andrew shook his head as he stood up
angrily
“no bro, you gonna sit your butt down there
and hear whatever dad and mum wanna say”
“my God ” my brow lifted contemptuously in a
frown
“how dare you talk back at me Andrew”
He nodded through gritted teeth
“so what, ehn so what”
I gulp back anguishness
“you are crazy”
I could hear mum shaky voice from the back
while dad and John stood up to stop us
Dad spoke this time…
“Caleb your brother is right, it’s best if you sit
and let’s talk about this,, I mean how can you
abandon your family to chase over a girl… Its
stupid caleb”
“it’s love dad”
“shut the f**k up caleb” Andrew shouted
“no no ” John shouted,
I landed an hard blow on Andrew well shaped
pick lips before John could stop me..
All the while mum was watching us with
bewildered expression pleading with dad and
John to stop us ..
more anger smoldered on my face perilously
while andrew keeps tapping two finger on my
chest as he spat out more words
“Thats the best you could ehn, weakling, do
more, come on”
I grabbed his collar, as our face was now mere
inches away
“watch your mouth son” I blurted out
His smile was cold and shallow as he threw
more words in a mocking tone.
“ugh, our big brother is in love John, where is
she then, huh huh tell us now
you left home unannounced for months after
you came back from the states Caleb, where
the hell is she,”
I squeezed my hold tightly on his shirt,
strangling it to his neck ,,
John was trying his effort to get my hands off
him all to no avail..
Suddenly dad jerked his hands between us as
I felt an hot slap landed on my cheek….
“dad” I groaned painfully
Mum was crying all the way …the entire
atmosphere became suddenly crowded as the
maids came out to watch with astound
inquisitiveness looking totally dismayed with
unreadable expression all over there dark
faces ,
I hold on my cheek and divided my
disbelieving gaze among my family,
“you guys are impossible”
I grabbed the car keys on the table
“Do not walk out on me caleb” dad shouted
angrily …

∆

“stop this bro”
I pushed John who was trying to double cross
me roughly and stormed out
“Caleb!!! ” mom shouted
But it’s was too late to stop now, the car
engine fire and echoed off as I drove crazily
out of the compound and into the dark dead
street,,
To where, I swear I do not know either….
Steve pov:
I threw off the blanket and scrambled out of
bed,
My heart was pounding in skipped beats at the
sound of her heavy pants,
With in seconds I was bending beside her as
she thrashed her head on the pillow and her
leg pummeled the mattress ..
“Sam wake up ”
“no no no” she thrashed her head more on the
pillow..
I placed my hand on her cheek and press hard
“Sam wake up,”
God what kinda of a bad dream is this
I slapped her cheeks lightly as I watch sweat
brims fall over her face
“I’m here babe, please wake up ”
Eventually the panting subside, she open her
eyes and quickly launched herself into my
waiting arms.
“oh steve ”
“my God sam”
I gather her close and cupped the back of her
head, pressing her tear drenched face into my
neck..
Her shoulder shook as her whole body heaved
with sobs.
“Sorry babe, is it that bad”
“very bad Steve”
I continue to hold her tight, patting her back
and murmuring reassurances, I wasn’t
intending to let go until she indicate she was
ready, eventually she raised her head..
“better now ”
She nodded
“I’m sorry you had such bad dream” I
whispered wiping her damp cheek with the
pads of my thumbs
“do you wanna tell me about it”
“he was gonna kill you with a big knife right in
my face Steve”
She stammered on a choppy little breath
“Tell me sam”
She shuddered with terrifying recollection..
It seized her unexpectedly I got scared at first
but she recovered from it as she stare back at
me,
I quickly jump on the bed and drew her closer
to my body,
I could feel her breath fan my cheek as i c-
ressed her hand..
“Steve, he accused me for the death of his
whole family”
“what!!!, how come ”
“I don’t know steve, these people we are
taking about here, I’ve never seen them before
not even their pictures,”
“so how does their death has to do with you”
“I don’t understand any of this too Steve, they
were on there way to the hospital I was with
my mum when they crashed along with dads
two siblings and parents ”
“and”
“he promise to make my life miserable like how
these people had died, he took me to a
cemetery when I was eight and told me horrible
things..i was so scared I had run but he later
grabbed me and budge out a dog eyes right in
my face, he promise to have any one I told
cold dead like the dog,
any one even my parent, that’s was why I had
to keep my mouth shut, ”
I cleared the tears in her eyes as she
continued
“I thought of no other way of disclosing the
event to anyone other than getting angry, I
thought maybe If I started getting furious at
everyone. I won’t be tempted to say it out, I
was so scared of letting anyone move closer to
me so they wont die miserably as that innocent
dog. So I started it, although it was so hard
cause it wasn’t my personality, but I had to,
and at night i would be in the lonesomeness of
my room to lick my wounds in private,”
She stopped for a while and continued
“during the years I was studying in the states,
he only call my phone and laugh Steve, I
swear, he wouldn’t say a thing but laugh, he
tormented me with his laugh for years, I had to
keep calling my parents to ask about their well
being”
“maybe he was thinking you would record his
voice if he threaten you”
“yes Steve, that’s exactly what he was
thinking”
“God he’s so smart ”
“I had to come back home last year December
and take over dads company here so I won’t
be as close to him”
“then it’s settled babe, am here now okay and
I promise I will make sure we see to the end of
all this”
She sniffled and nodded
“promise, you won’t let him kill you Steve, I
don’t wanna loose you”
I smile at her and shook my head..
“I promise I won’t let him mmmm”
Seconds later my phone rang
“who is it”
It’s a private number Steve…
“give it to me ” I took the phone from her and
place it to my ears after pressing the green
botton ….
I could feel his laughing echo from the other
end and I immediately realise its Sam uncle ….
“I knew she told you everything just now lover
boy, ”
This time his tone was like two people were
talking ..
“but I warned her not to” he shouted
All the while sam was staring at me with
bewildered expression as she spoke softly

“Steve who is it ”
“my mom” I lied ..
“prepare for the worst Steve,”
I stylishly excused myself and move to the
other end of the room…
“so what you gonna do” I replied bravely
although scared at the double tone I just
heard, I swear this uncle of Sam is a devilish
horrific man, how the hell did he find out Sam
told me anything Just now ..
“prepare” he laughed once more
I glanced at the phone, damn it’s a private
number, there’s no use of recording anything
..
“let’s see about that then horror”
He laughed in double tone once more this time
it was like hundred people were laughing, I
couldn’t take it anymore, I had to disconnect
the phone and smile back at sam although my
heart was raising in an hundred throb ..
I try to steady it as I walked back to her
“you should have allow me talk to your mum
steve”
I smile as i drew her closer …
“I would call her back in the morning, how
about that ”
“okay ”
She smile softly, I quickly lay back on the bed
as she laid back beside me.
“you are safe now babe okay”
She nodded.. And laid her head on my chest, i
wrapped my hands around her and sighed …
Unable to sleep I stare into space as I
recollected more of his devilish voice
“prepare for the worst steve”

Caleb pov:
I pulled the car few feet away from a club and
rested my head back on the seat,
Anxiety darkened more of my gaze as I switch
on the car light to glance at my watch.
it’s ten o clock
Damn, I groan hitting my hard fist on the
steering wheel,
my family are crazy, Totally crazy,and I swear
I can’t take this bullsh-ts anymore..
First it was mom locking me up like some
criminal,
And now dad slapped me for Andrew..
Who is he to confront me,
Who are they to judge me for Christ sake,,
I love Sam with all of my heart and why is it so
hard for them to get it into their thick skull.
I thrashed my fist repeatedly on the steering
gnawing and nagging at myself for being so
stupid…
Why watch Sam stupidly all these years
without giving it a trial just for once Caleb and
yet you look like a total fool to watch some guy
kiss her right in your face,
of course Andrew has the right to taunt me
…yes he taunted me cause I failed .
I failed dammit, my family, my world, my
responsibility …and most especially my
heart ….
Oh God Caleb you are such a fool ,,,
gosh I need to clear my head so I could think
of a way to get that Steve guy outta my way, I
can’t let him have Sam…,
She’s mine, mineeee
Blinking back tears I Wipe it away stubbornly
and get down from the car,
slowly and open eyed I made my way into the
club, music was pounding as everywhere was
flowing, ladies bumping, men smoking and
dancing, the inside was red and hideous,
some were even copulating right on the stand,
Beers everywhere as booze float through the
room …
squeezing my way out of the crowd, i sat at a
corner feeling more than a little melancholy as
I widened my eyes ..
God the club was full of teenages,
what the heck is this world turning into these
days …
I ordered for a beer and drank slowly drowning
down my pains as I feast my eyes here and
there,
I haven’t had a cigarette since I came back
from the state and I was sure I needed one
now,,
Luckily they sell in the club as I order for a
packet,,
I took one and lighted it before slipping the
remaining in my pocket,
More louder echoes wailed through the room
as the music was changed to
‘One corner’…
Girls howl, boys eyes were huge as they
banged most of the girls to any corner,
I had to laugh, I was enjoying every minute of
my stay here, more howling as some were
twerking to the rhythm all alone
“bad gal” I laughed loudly at a drunk girl who
pushes out her naked bums out for an albino
guy to bash on…
Portharcout is hell of a one bad city, I just
can’t believe it has turn this worst..
The club was rocky and full of life… I was
sitting almost for an hour now, drowning in my
third beer, when an who-e catches the sight of
me , I watched her walked forth as she smile
seductively ,,.
long eye lashes, too much make ups that
glitters like gold, catty eye contacts with very
huge bre-sts dressed in short satin skirt and a
V-neck crop top showing the tattoos that was
perfectly sketched right beside her abdomen,
“looking for a good time handsome” she
offered a coy smile
I had to think of an answer, sure I was so
much after a good time but wanted it with
Sam…just Sam ..
“I don’t know ” I said playing her game
“what are you offering”
With her hand planted against the swell of her
hips, she sidled closer to me, her cheery lips
easing onto a sultry smile..
“anything your little heart desires “,
She bent forward and planted her palms
against the table and as she did this her bre-st
but almost tumble out of her top ..
“am ready to offer you anything”
She sat beside me, suddenly grabbed my right
hand and place it on her huge bre-st…
Rubbing and smooching my hands on it
“feeling it ehn, baby, come on”
I closed my my eyes as I drill in the
enthusiasm.. All I could think of was Sam, her
beautiful face, and how it would feel to have
perfect br**st against my hand.. To cup my
hands on it and kissed it, to have her mo-n out
my name in the edge of organism
Sam!!
I yanked my hands off her and stand…
“what” she widened her eyes in shock
“who’s Sam,”
“another time” I struggled to stand while I
made my way out
She called back at me
“hey you don’t know what you are missing out,
planning on taking you to the next level”
Missing out, did she say missing out
Yes am missing out, cause Sam is the only
woman that could ever give me the best feeling
in the world…
No amount of wh-res could do that.
Oh lord how much I missed watching her
I glanced at my watch to realise its past eleven
…
Damn I need to get back home ….
i fumbled tiredly into the dark night that stands
on earth like the spirit of nile . Everywhere was
cozy and dull….
Just the sound coming out from the club gave
its surroundings a brighter and lively
atmosphere
I hop in and in the next seconds I drove out of
the building ..
Damn, I press on the accelerator trying to keep
the car moving ..
pressing and jerking,
… the car eventually loose it’s velocity and
stopped
Gosh what kinda mess is this, its almost twelve
o clock for Christ sake ..
I twisted the key on the ignition once more but
it wouldn’t start
I glanced around realising am indeed stucked
in the middle of two bushes ,
Damn, I closed my eyes and cursed under my
breath.
I think I took the wrong route, the darkness
around me felt like I’ve just fallen into a deep
dark well .
I quickly switched on the car light and
searched the car thinking randomly on what to
do, luckily I found a small touch, I opened the
door and get down, there was nothing but this
uncomfortably eerieness in the moonless night,
the stars watching over the world as they stood
in the meadows of heaven, differents sounds
penetrating into my ears from the bushes, the
hooting of owl, the flute voice of the
nightingales, the mixture of croak and grunt
sounds of the frogs,
I shivered with more fears than chill as I
quietly ran to open the car bonnet,
heat rose in me like a flood raising towards a
levee.
I push on the battery, checked the oil
passage, the radiator, the panel fuse,
everything was in place…
Mother of Christ
I ran back to start the ignition once more but
damn it still wouldn’t start
I racked my hands through my hairs and curse
more..
I glanced around,
The sight of the day, full and hidden behind the
chain of dark colored clouds brought an
unsettling feeling to my mind. The bushes were
nothing but scary… The owwwwww sounds of
airs around makes the pains in my wound
pinched so bad ..
Gosh I need a painkiller.. My system got
disrupted as all the horror movies have
watched surfaces right in my face, it was like
am watching them all over again,.
I jumped at the sound of crickets ..
Gosh my heart was pounding so hard I could
barely steady it…
Sweat broke across my face as I shakingly rub
it off
I moved to close the car bonnet, locked the car
and glanced around once more,,
This place is very risky, as risky as it is I still
think I need to find help, there should be
houses at that far end …
Intermittently I was cut from my thought when
I heard a burst of gunshot from the route I was
thinking of taking ..
Holding my breath i quietly made my way
through the narrow way of the bush, I jumped
inside, careful not to loose balance .. I ran like
fire ..
Scared and worned out I staggered towards a
wall holding unto my side with heavy breaths, I
realise am out of the bush now, thank God
Vigilant to where I was I narrowed my gaze
forward and saw some numbers of big cars
parked at a building …
Eager to get out of the cold night… I made my
way further and into place, the door was wide
open as tables and chairs were spilled around
occupied with guys and girls, I glanced at my
watch it’s already one in the morning…
A number of ladies paraded around in tight
fitting skirts and low elastic style blouses.
Some delivered drinks, others brazen touted
their wares and openly invited attention
Don’t they sleep around here.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw and
gestured at one of the mistress serving drinks
“hi sorry, what are they doing around here,”
She laughed
“oh, nothing,..just that clubs are always wide
open around this town particular on Friday and
Sunday till dawn ..are you new here”
“oh no, emmm .. Actually I live at hotline
estate
“hotline, Oh thats an hour ride from here,”
My eyes widened
“am hour ride ”
“yep, anything the matter ”
“actually….. ”
I was thinking of what next to say when I
realise she already left me standing and
bouncing forward towards the others to dance
to the rhythms of the music..
My blood ran cold at the discovery,
I was sure I didn’t drive that long before I
arrived at the first club…
Feeling much like hell, I try remembering
mums number so I could borrow a phone at
least to calm them down, but I couldn’t …
God am so useless…
I made my way further inside, feeling so tired
and sleepy like hell … With a banging head I
went through a passage and saw an empty
room,,
I could sleep in here and find my way home
tomorrow.. I entered and closed the door
gently..
Slouching down on the floor i rested my head
back on the wall,
At least am safe for now..
My heart suddenly skipped, when i heard the
sounds of laughter coming out from the other
room,
Are they partying in the room too
And the next I heard was the voice of a girl..
No a lady
Crying and pleading …
“Tell me” a thick voice shouted
Jeering me fully to life… I stand up as quiet as
possible and moved towards the door that
connects were I was with the other room …
“I don’t know what you are talking about ” the
female voice replied shakily.
I wanted to jerk the door open, but I dare not,
what was really happening I wanted to know..
It’s like some one was torturing a woman and
why..
Am sure the loud music outside wouldnt let
anyone hear this..
Should I call the police, damn I slide my
hands into my pocket and out remembering I
have no phone on me. ..
“I will kill you with these if you don’t tell me
why you were meeting with Desmond lawyer
today, is his documents with his lawyer”
“please don’t kill me I was only meeting him for
a different reason please please I don’t know
about any documents ” the lady replied in a
teary voice …
“so why were you meeting him”
“nothing” she replied crying louder now,
At the sound of a hard hit I was sure some one
slapped the lady as she winced more louder in
pains ..and Desmond why do I get this feeling,
I think the name sounds some how familiar..
“please, please” she cries
What the hell,
What heartless people could torture a woman
like this
I try steadying my breath once more while I
clenched my fist hard….
“now tell me ” the thick voice commanded
again
“my friend needed a private investigator, sooo
I was meeting him for an help” she said shakily
echoes of laughs rain through the room, they
laugh so hard, I could hear some banging their
fist against the wall as they laugh more harder
, the thick voice commanded to stop as the
laugh finally cease into silence…
“really ann, so who’s this your friend who so
needed a private investigator ” he said slowly
“I….. I………” the lady stammered
“who, and don’t you dare lie cause I’ll
definitely find out”
“who” another slap echoes
“Steve ” she shouted in pains and tears
The man laughed out once more…
“oh so it’s lover boy. I think he’s gonna
prepare for more then, hahahahaha”
At the mention of Steve, I staggered
back, shock almost made my kneels goes out
on me, my mind buzzled with so many
questions at a time, who are this people, and
Steve that foolish guy how is he connected to
this man and this lady, Or maybe he isn’t the
one… Yes that’s it ,he dare not be the one,
cause I was sure as heaven this man knew this
Steve well enough
God this place is alot more dangerous than I
ever thought, I need to get out of here..
I turn on my heels, I was about making my
way out of the room, when the door flung open
, my eyes widened as my heart started to raise
in double folds, I swallow hard not to make my
fears over came me…
He was wearing a red out fit with a big
skeleton image on it, blue faded jean and a
tight boot with hard soles that were worn down
unevenly
He studied my form for a moment and drew a
deep laugh further into the room…
“you’ve been eaves dropping bastard,” now
he frown…
The further he walk the angrier he became,,
“no no ” I shook my head both in fear and
alarm.
“I came in for a little nap ”
I spoke fast, reasoned hard and with each
frantic steps he took, I realise i can actually
turn the other side and ran for the door,
breathing in and out softly I prepare for my
plan…
With a racing heart I counted inside of me…
One, two,…
I was about taking a full step and towards the
door when he back headed me on the face,
God, I hit on the wall, blood filled my mouth as
I blinked up at him,
Shocked and stunned by his violence,
His wicked grin looked as if he’d relish hitting
at me …
He shouted this time
“boss I think we have a scape goat here ”
Unknown pov:
Sunshine glinted through my window as I
climbed out of bed
pacing with my hands against my hips I
clutched the phone intently to my ears while I
shout
“don’t you understand how much I love this
girl, I paid you an huge amount to get me Sam
and now you are there ranting to me on phone
”
“you need to calm down i just found out she’s
staying in an hotel with the guy”
“that’s it I don’t wanna see that guy around her
any more, just get me Sam, that’s all I needed,
and if it meant taking him down so be it… What
are you waiting for ”
“it’s done then, she would be with you sooner
than expected”
“better”
I disconnected the phone and smile
“that blow meant nothing Sam,
And stopping Maggie from work meant nothing
either, have never missed my target before,
so why would yours be any different ”
Laughing, I put on my jogging outfit;
made my way out of the house and into the
clearer sight of the day …

Sam pov:

∆

I woke with my head nestled against Steve’s
shoulder and his strong hands tucked
protectively around me, I felt both cozy and
shielded from the outside world until I
remember my dream.. The knife dream, how
uncle Erik had stabbed Steve
A sense of urgency filled me as I roll away and
sat up,
Gosh inspite of feeling so light after sharing an
eighteen long years burden, some part of me
is still as scared as anything ..
how Steve had called to me tiredly in the
dream that the pain was too much to endure ..
Gosh,
I would rather pray to die first than watch steve
get stabbed right in my face, …
After making a silent prayer, I felt Steve
movement at my side, he stirred and touched
my waist slightly..
“hey you are awake ”
“yes ” I said softly
He struggled up and sat
“and how are feeling now”
“much better” I squeezed a smile
He stare at me with this indecipherable
expression all over his face while he excused
himself and left for the bathroom..
With his eye bag and tired looks why do I get
the feeling that he didn’t at all..
Hope it wasn’t what I told him last night that got
him scared,
No he didn’t look scared but tired..
He came back…
“Steve, you need to take me to the hospital
today I need to go check up on caleb”
I saw the flickers of jealousy all over his face
as he glanced up at me
“was told his mum came for him” he dropped
the towel on his hands
“oh really thats better then”
He moved towards me
“Sam, are you sure you are okay now, cause
a lot happened yesterday, so am just
………….. ”
“yes I am steve, and don’t you dare stop me
from going to work, thank God you are my
personal assistance now….so while I rest at
the longue area in my office, you would do
most things I needed to do, how about that ”
His smile was teasing, he was about opening
his mouth when his phone rang I could sense
the urgency in his attitude as he grab it,
“hello, ”
His eyes widened when he dropped the
phone…
“Steve what’s wrong”
“it’s a call from portharcout Sam, a friend
parents called the office that she hasn’t been
at home since last night, she is missing, ”
He racked his hand through his hair as he
paced with a frown
“Ann is missing Sam, I need to get back to
portharcout ”
Unsteady on his feet, he walked into bathroom
and out, carried few things, as he rushed here
and there,
He stopped and glanced at the shocked
expression on my face
“And you should start getting ready
Sam, cause am not intending on leaving you
behind ”

part 22

Sam pov
I quest on the reasons why I shouldn’t go with
Steve but found none,
its like faith has brought us together, imposing
my problems with his and his to mine..
And now that I knew his intentions .
Deep inside I was glad, cause now that have
found him am all ready no matter the
circumstances to go with him to wherever, I
mean anywhere,
I was Fully dressed in brown cotton pants and
blue sailored top, I glanced at steve who
places his phone to his ears, while he hurriedly
spoke through it, a lot of calls and messages
has been bombarding his phone which makes
my heart skips in beats and felt so sad for the
missing lady,
with the look Steve wore the entire time it
seems the situation has gone more worst .. He
already parked all his stuffs and mine
downstairs
I could only sit patiently beside the bed and
wait for him..
He glanced at me fully ready with this stress
flickers all over on his face,
I try not to concentrate on how handsome he
looks in his tight fitting jean and blue silk
tailored shirt that was opened to the mid point if
his chest,
But the weariness in his eyes says it all
showing how much he really care about this
lady..
he wasn’t looking straight to me .. Now that he
spoke, I knew he was hiding the shakiness in
his voice which was so obvious …
“Sam are you ready ”
I shook my head while he reached for my
hands and drew me closer..
He placed an hot kiss on my forehead and
drop to look straight into my eyes…
“sorry for the inconveniences… ”
“no problem,,.. ”
he squeezed a smile and led me out
We were about climbing down the last flat
steps and towards the reception when he
suddenly grabbed my hand and shove me to a
corner,
Alerted with his barely showing Adams apple
moving up and down…
“Don’t move, silent your breath sam”
he instructed in an urgent whispers.. And right
there I knew something was wrong, i nodded
as my muscles tightened warily
Now that our body was so close as anything, I
couldnt help but inhale his perfume and
masculine scent ..he places a finger on my lips
while I nibbled it with heart, I could feel his
stares on me now wishing I was able to read
his expression
Apaced he pushes my head to his chest while
he pressed his body more tightly to mine …
God he’s so strong
At the sound of boot passing by and ascending
up the stairs, right there i knew that was the
person we were avoiding …
With the stiffness in my heart, something in me
tells me… Uncle Erik found out I told Steve all
about him..
Now he’s after him
Gosh what have I done to deserve all this
punishment from uncle Erik
Now fitting my hands tightly to his we move out
hurriedly and ran towards the car
in the next seconds we were off …
“what happened back there Steve, is that my
uncle ”
Trying to calm his breath, he glanced back
checking if anyone was following us, he push
the car to speed
“Sam pick up my phone and dail Henry, …” he
said ignoring my question..
Trying not to push him further, i hurriedly pick
up his phone, and felt this clunky sound in my
stomach when I realise its been locked with a
password ..
Wondering why he locked it when there was
none on it last night.. Squeezing my face to a
frown I typed the names that first came to my
mind,,
ANNA, ANN,, but both came out with a wrong
password.
He caught me anyway…
“I can’t believe you could be getting jealous in
a kinda situation like this Sam. The password
is your name, just type Sam… ”
God, my face got heated at the moment, I
realise I was opening my mouth repeatedly
without nothing coming out it,
The call got connected while I reach it out to
him, suddenly the deserted estate road of the
hotel turn an eerie sights which got my heart
skipping in terror.
Steve spoke hurriedly through the phone,
passing forth the estate address and all
necessary information before dropping his
phone , ….
Suddenly a pick up truck raced up behind us,
the head light blinding then screeches around
us and rammed into Steve side..
I shrieked as Steve clutched the steering
wheel with steely grip trying to maintain control
“Sam hold on” he shouted
He steady the gear and zoom forward..
My eyes all widened as I placed my hands on
my racing chest, I glanced back ward only to
see the pick up trunk speed up and rammed
into the side of the car again which sent us
bouncing off the road ..
“dammit ” Steves shouted and pressed the
brake which went ahead and skid into a light
post before it stopped ,,
“oh my God Steve ”
Glass shatters on the drivers seat and pelt
Steve as the air bag exploded..
Metal scrunched I could hear the front bumper
folded. Steve ripped away the airbag and
reached side Way to see if I was alright.
“Sam are you alright ”
he was searching me with all kinds fright
filming all over his face,
“oh my God” I touched his face at the sight of
few cuts bruised right beside his lips and
cheek..
Tears was on my face now , when the door
suddenly flung open,
A tall, big beard man trys to drag me from the
car while he pointed a gun towards Steve…
“how many miles do you think you can get
away with this fashion car of yours, ” he said
Scared to the throat, I screamed and push at
him trying to free myself from his hold,
“get away from me ”
But he jerked my arms and yanked me to the
ground,
“f-ck you woman ”
“sam” Steve shouted
I could hear his curse as he kick on the
stucked door repeatedly before jumping out…
“sam” he raced towards me but was stopped
shut when the guy pointed his gun towards him
“i was told to bring the lady man..and if you
choose to die, dare take another step forward.
”
I shake my head towards Steve screeming at
him
“don’t you dare take another step forward
please Steve , please ”
The beard man was obviously stronger than he
look as he pulled me towards the black pick up
trunk..
Not still wanting to give up I clawed and kick at
him…
Steve pov:
My heart nearly rip out of my chest at the sight
of Sam being drag towards that dirty trunk
Sam shouted warning me not to come
forward. .but over my dead body will I allow
some ugly tyrant drag away my woman right In
my face, I would be damned if I ever allow it..
Adrenaline rushed through me as I bent and
speedily took a back fleet forward and attack
him knocking us all to the ground …
Sam screemed as the tyrant lost his hold on
her.
“Sam get away ”
I watched her pushed to her hands shakily as
she crawled to the side of the road
Fury raged in me ..with a clenched fist I
punched the tyrant hard in the mouth,
He groaned wanting to point the gun at me but
I was fast to grab his hands to the sky as he
pressed the trigger and shot repeatedly to airs
I twisted my hold on his hand as he suddenly
lost balance of the gun,
“you bastard” I punched him right on his face
this time. ..i watch him roll as he swung his fist
up and connected an hard blow to my nose..
I cursed while we roll each other to the dirt
trading punches..
“trying to take away my woman , am gonna kill
you ”
“gbammm”
my rage was able to enhance my strength as I
over powered him,, gave him a hard right, and
straddled him..
He bucked, struggling to get off from my hold,
I stretched, grabbed his gun and shoved it to
the side if his face
”tell me who sent you bastard”
“wait please don’t shoot ”
Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Sam slide
her braid to the back of her ears and push to
her feet
“Sam, are you alright ”
“yes she said in a shaky voice ”
I turn back to the tyrant, tightening my grip on
him and kept the gun aimed at his head
The sounds of siren could be heard now from a
distance now .. Horrified look flickers all over
the face of the Few people who came out of
their dormitory to watch the whole scene..
The tyrant eyes widened as an unsettled
feeling takes over his form, he struggled as I
pressed the cold gun hard on his face
“wait please don’t shoot ”
Suddenly he smacked me away and try to
race, Henry ran and gave him a shot..
He groaned as one of his legs gave out on
him, he holds the wounded spot on his arms
which was now covered in blood while Henry
gestured towards the other detective to come
wadle him into their custody …




I dropped the gun and raced towards sam,
whose eyes was still in shock…
“babe look at me ”
She glared at me with tears while I grabbed
her into my arms and hug her tight..
“you are safe now ”
I patted her back and wipe off her tears,
Few seconds of comforting her…
I took her hands along with mine and went
back to the scene..
After explaining our travelling plans before the
attack took place,
Henry calm us down, phoned and arranged for
the trunk to haul the car to the repairs while he
stopped a taxi that took us back with our stuffs
along with two officers against any kind of
danger
Leaving the two officers outside,
I unlock the door as she spoke,,
“we should book a flight back to portharcout
Steve, do you have a passport ”
I nodded and drew her closer thinking
someone else might grab her again. ..
My heart fluttered as my chest ache trying to
forget how the stupid tyrant had touched and
drag her..
“Sam are you really alright? Did he hurt you? ”
“no not at all”
With the sound of that my breath hissed out as
I pulled her into my arms
“God Sam I thought he was going to hurt you,
I didn’t think I could stand that ”
She sighed and leaned into my hard chest
Silence stretched as I held and clung her to my
chest, my heart beating beneath her check. ..
She pushed her face up and placed a kiss
against my neck..
With that a sighed escaped me as I dropped a
kiss back into her hairs…
The low sound in my throat, embolded me as
she look up into my eyes touching the cut in
my face slightly..
Her look and touch sent hot desires through
me, she traced her hands over my chest then
lower to tease my stomach as she feathered
one finger over my zipper
“sam”
“shhhhh” she whispered. Then stood tiptoed
and pressed her Lips to mine…
I hugged her tight and fused her lips deeply to
mine with the emitted guttural groan that sent
both our heart racing ..
This time she released my lips and took my
hands,,
“I will make a call, in the next one hour we will
be in portharcout. ”
I nodded and smile towards her…
“thank you babe”
Caleb pov:
Caleb
My name came to me on the faintest breath of
sound.. I rolled my head to other side and
opened my eyes, Sam face was framed in the
small square box of the dark room which only
had a lamp light…
“Sam ” how’s this possible, she is here,, my
heart slammed against my ribs as I carefully
eased my self up trying to ignore the pains.. I
mo-ned with all the effort it cost me to move,
oh God the agony went deep,,
“hey ”
Little more than her beautiful dark eye showed
through the box, but it was enough to send joy
crashing through me, this gift. This wonder of
seeing the woman I love brought me incredible
happiness
“how is it you are here when”
“hey Caleb, she whispered….my eye suddenly
flew open as my throat went dry, I can’t be
dreaming …..nooo nooo.
I glanced fearfully at the dark room seeing how
my hands was tied to the back of the chair with
a thick rope
I was definitely not alone .
I stare up at a woman as she coughed out
blood…
Beautiful and elegant
With bruise of wounds on her face and lips
I definitely knew this woman… I knew her but
where
Where, where, my heart skipped as I
remember ,
“oh God Ann”…
She smile through tears
“I thought you wouldnt remember my face,
Caleb ”

Cold But Charming - Episode 23 See all episodes here » Steve pov: The plane landed in portharcout exactly eleven in the morning, After clearing customs which meant holding Sam hands and walking past some guards. The inside of the airport had been uncomfortably warm, but the heat inside of me was nothing to write home about... I couldn't think, couldn't communicate, the heat, the stench, the ache, of how Sam uncle had wickedly set his plans, Of course i had received another call earlier and I knew right after dropping the call that the worst has come.,, He captured Ann, now someone else's... All he wanted in return was my life, to take my life for the freedom of those two and many more... I had to call my mum and those I knew were close to me but none was missing except Ann.. Who could the other person be , I was damn sure in his speech the other person was definitely a male... Now I have just twentyfour hours to surrender or else they die, God I dare not tell Sam, and I dare not show it on my face either, I knew right inside the plane she had been scanning my face probably searching for some hidden fears or weakness. But I showed none ,other than strength and courage,, I told her all about Anna, a long time friend, scaling through secondary and university days together, With luck also got a job in the Same company, She was such a wonderful friend, It had been precisely this fact that we had nothing physical together that had allow us become such close friends. Seeing the doleful expression on sam face I knew she felt so sorry for her disappearance .. But If only she knew it was the doing of no other but her horrific uncle .... ******* I hold her hands firmly to mine awaiting for an available taxi, i couldn't help but feel the way she felt so soft and beautiful,, I can't believe In the next twenty four hours I would be walking right to death leaving all the promises I made to her unfulfilled .. God I didn't know her uncle could be this brutal , he is indeed a terrorist , a tyrant , an animal How I wish there's no such irony In all this cause this isn't just about me anymore but the lives of so much more if I refuse to go... Now I understand why Sam had to hold the secret for so many years ... I understand why she'd kept it rather than disclosed it ... Now the worst is here and am about paying the price I just hope she would be fine if am gone "hey taxi " I gestured at a taxi which careened at a corner....it zoom forth towards us . "lewis Inc please. . " Sam caught my arms before I could open the door... "Steve, what are you doing, thought we are heading to the police station " I sensed how her jaw went slack with disappointment "yes, the police are already doing their jobs Sam, but we have to get to the company first " She nodded and entered and all I could think of was nothing but the last dreaded Call I received, I hold Sam hands and squeeze on them Flash back : What the hell, I pick up my phone and swallow with so much difficulty I stare at the private number like I just saw hell..

23b . I side watch Sam who was busy searching the wears she would change into.. Gosh I drop the towel in my hand and lumbered out ....after making sure the door was closed behind me. I wheezed out placing the phone to my ears "Hey lover boy " "what the hell do you want horror" His laugh was like a specially reserved one.. Advancing from a double tone to that of a demon,, "nothing but your life son" "am not your son, and I think you should go get your brain checked in the mental asylum, you are going mad" This time his laugh was substantial, critically horrific advancing from that the demon to the devil himself.. "your friends are with me steve," At the sound of that my whole body felt like I was on fire, it was like i was having a bad dream, and really wishing someone could wake me up right away, I cursed and shuddered with my shaky voice, How could I have been so stupid not to realise he's definitely the one behind Ann disappearance ... "don't you dare lay your hands on her Erik," "actually lover boy, have I ever told you how much I love challenges, well glad you know now ..i love the way you are challenging me Steve, and I really wish to see how far you can get...well your other friend walked into my trap himself, his Ill fate is really sweet huh don't you think Hahahahahah " I rack my hands through my hairs and cursed more.... "who is the second person Erik " "come find out yourself lover boy, you have just twenty four hours to prepare and say your goodbyes or else I slay them like ram, and send forth their pieces to you " "f-ck you, if you think your threat would work on me Erik " "that's if you don't want your loved one to die miserably Steve, If you get to portharcout, I can see you and your little chick are getting prepared already,, go check Desmond office, there is a tiny fuse at the right hand of his book shelf, it's a bomb, and it's been placed like that to each and everycorner of the company, like wise his house...and lastly to your mums tiny bungalow..all I needed to do is to press my botton, and you understand what would happen next " At the sound of that it was like am being drunk and disoriented my kneels nearly crumbled beneath me "Gosh Erik ,please just ....." "I told you to prepare for the worst lover boy, hahahahah A-ha haha, this is the price you get .. You know I hate people who doesn't heed to instructions, I told that stupid girl not to tell anybody about me, she was all but doing perfectly well with my little secret until you came to her life lover boy... " I gasp, struggling with every bit of my strength to hold back tears, "eeya you don't have to cry, it's not something hard to sacrifice for the life of many now, All I just want in return is to take your life with my dear knife.. Nothing else, and if you choose to bring the police along, you are free to, you know I still have nothing to loose, all I needed to do is to press the button right in front of the police, and everyone is gone, hope you know you can't get hundreds of people, out of that company in the next twenty four hours, your mum and sister are always home you know that quiet well , and most especially, Sam mum, and if you think, you can still get them out, then your friends here are gone, and you would still give me no choice than to press the botton..." I was terrified, I became incapacitated almost going into shock, how could he have manage to plan everything so well, once I was able to communicate with my brain, I cough and all I heard next was his mounting temper which was so hot and striking ... "are you taking it or not lover boy " "wait, how would I be sure their life would be spared after you take mine," "am the type that keeps to promises lover boy, before I kill you all I have to do is press disconnected, and it's fine, the bomb won't be active anymore.. " "okay I accept, please don't press the botton., don't hurt them please... what about the address, " "i would sent that to you, " The phone got disconnected before I could open my mouth, my stomach knotted, the fear of dying almost squeeze the oxygen out of me, my leg ache terribly, it was like i couldnt move for a minute or two until I heard the door clicked open,, "steve" I swallow hard "sam" Her name was a soft plea I sent to God right at the moment, a way of saying how I wanted to stay alive and love her, how she needed to be needed,, and wanted to be loved How I would be the most happiest man in the world the day she said yes. Her love, her body been what I would cherish if I have the opportunity to meet her in my next life, I hope she would stay just fine if am gone, to watch her through the sky the greatest blessing of all. And as I walk through the den of death I hope she would live to forget me, and move on with her life, probably fulfilling what her parent wants with Caleb.. Oh God how much I love her... How much I would miss her when am gone Flash back ends. ****** She stare at my face and patted my laps, the soft tone of her voice shifted my gaze to her "don't worry Steve, your friend would be found... " I nodded and smile, but the hell of it was I don't wanna leave this woman, i want to hold her and keep her right were she belong ..i want to stay alive and love her endlessly "ofcourse she would be " I hold her face up and stare at her love shaped lips.. "what" " I love you so much sam "



You can't cry Steve, please you can't cry in front of her but dammit I couldn't help it, I blink back tears and Lowered my head to her not caring whether the taxi man was watching or not, I kissed and kissed the stuffing out of her.. She was my life, my world. The reason why I had to live and why I had to die, my one and only cold but charming boss. She was my everything, on each and every blooming space of my heart she spreads her daises, she awakened the my closed heart with each golden locks of her sparkling charms.. She was a woman any man would want, her love was a kind of music that sings to my heart and lingers like an enchantment ,, She was like my lost but found ribs, wishing to stand in the middle of earth and announce to the whole world how much I love her. Pressing my lips more to her, I carried her to my laps as more of my tears fall.. God I can't remember the last time I cry like this... Not even when my dad had died She released her lips and wipe off my teary face, "Steve what's wrong " I rested my head back on the seat and drew her closer to my chest, I wasn't replying, the fear that my voice would betray me held me speechless ... I stare at the taxi man who was also blinking back tears,,. Why is he crying And there thought I saw my dad.. My heart skipped as I blinked rapidly "dad," My heart started racing as I call much louder now... "dad" ******** This is the shortest episodes in all You know how I love joining two episodes in one guys.. Cause I so much hate short episodes... But I guess we should stop here for now..

part 24

Ann pov:
I was alive, although I wasn't sure why,
After repeated interrogations and tortures from
the man i've always seen as gentle and
classy..
Then I was sure I could welcome anything ..
I realise he derive pleasure in torturing..
Pleasures in Power
Pleasure in breaking people's spirit..
Pleasure in killing,
Even up till now I still do not understand the
reason for his tortures and how I have anything
to do with my bosses document..
I was just an innocent lady working as a
secretary for his own blood brother only to do
this to me just because I met with a lawyer,
can't anyone meet with a lawyer
Gosh,
Mr Erik is indeed a devilish psychopath ..
Now I know he isn't gonna leave me alive..he
is gonna kill me... .
After fully knowing his other personality that he
so much Hidded from the world,
Oh lord,
What about my family?, what about my friends
and most especially my dreams of meeting that
special man who will love me till the end of
time..
All of that are just gonna crash right in my face
I wish he just die . An horror death.
****
Spatting out a mouth full of blood, I realise my
hands were tied at the back of a chair..
With my head down, I ache more with pains, I
could see the small reflection of light peeping
into the room
All episodes of this story can be found here >>
https://www.ebonystory.com/story/cold-but-
charming
. The room was dank and dark,
it was like a solitary confinement in hell.. Just
few blocks of golden light reflected to the room
, I could sense it's the cast of morning light ..
I exhaled slowly. I knew my eyes were
swollen from their hot slap but not worst
enough to get shut.
I raised my head up at the sound of mumur
and right there I knew I wasn't alone,
whispers, mo-ns, sounds ,
My fingers tremble,
Are they here again, are they here to torture
me, for several moments my groggy mind
refuse to function .the fear of another beating
got my whole form trembling, until I squeezed
my eyes shut and open them again... And
There in front of me was a man, the golden
light was reflected right on his face..
A good looking man, with damnly s-xy biceps
Being injured, no one would deny he is still a
good sight to watch.
Gosh is he real or an angel sent in disguise..
"Sam" he murmured..
He raised his head up now, it took me several
moment to recognise him, but when I did it
was like the weight of the world felt solid and
rested on my chest .
"caleb" I whispered
Flash back
The place was the most beautiful sight have
ever seen, the mansion was indeed another
heaven on earth,
I can't believe the first boy that ever had a
crush on me could be living here and still
stoop him self so low to attend that middle
class school of ours,
My high heel boot scrunched over the gravel
as I approach towards the front step slowly..
Andrew call much louder now as he got to the
front door.
"hey Ann, come on walk faster"
I knew Andrew was the type of boy that loves
girls, even been in ss1, he had dated and
dump like ten girls In my class..
But when He took me out three, maybe four
times, each
time coaxing me a little further, buying me
expensive stuff, Guess with my chicken brain I
was sure i wanted to be with him, to do what all
the other girls talked so much about. I wanted
them to respect me too. For a guy to call me on
phone.
So When he asked me up to his house I do not
reject cause I heard how filthy rich his parent
were
I just wanted to see with my own eyes..
Now that am here I just can't help but look
around...
I straighten my school uniform and walked in
with Andrew, I gasp and glanced around, the
hall was with flaggy floor on a Persian rug
which took pride of the place, there was a
Georgian table standing against one of the
pale washed wall holding a sun burst of
beautiful designs.. Andrew took me two steps
to a double glass door opening a large
drawing room, the room was filled with music,
a blues music,
A guy stretched out on one of the sofas which
flanked the fire place carved for the cold
weather.. but as Andrew came in
He walked over the hi-fi system which
occupied most of the wall and remove the
record from the tape..
His eyes flew open..
"hey man I was enjoying that "
"gosh bro, I give you 100percent in love, but
could you please stand up and meet my
girlfriend already"
He looked past Andrew and to me His smile
was like wao, I couldn't help but stare cause
he was shirtless. Framed with beautiful
upcoming six packs ..
"hey" he stands
"hope you didn't mind, to see your inlaw this
way,"
He was glancing at his body...
"oh not not all "
I hurriedly said squeezing a smile..
Andrew moved towards me and drew me
closer to his side ..
"Ann meet the most romantic big bro on earth,
caleb
And caleb, meet Anna my boo"
I saw andrew winks towards Caleb who likely
understand, and I immediately felt so
embarrassed with it, which shows I wasn't the
first girl he would have likely brought home"
"hi caleb"
"oh Anna, for Christ sake you are so beautiful
nice meeting you "
"thank you, nice meeting you too"
he roll his eyes and puff out a breath ,
I cant believe he also knew his brother to be a
woman wrapper type..
He glare back at Andrew
"could you manage some coffee for us, hope
you do not mind Ann"
"no I don't "
"alright, I got it " Andrew rushed away.
The door closed behind us and we were alone,
he glanced at me and smile..
"Anna, I can see you are a very beautiful and
responsible girl, to tell you the truth, you are
the number eighteenth girl Andrew brought
home this month, "
I gasp with a wide eye expression .
"what"
"surprised too so I wouldn't want you snooping
around with him. I just want you to stop dating
Andrew, my brother is dangerous he's an as-
hole especially when it comes to girls "
I stare up at him blinking rapidly, is he truly
telling me this
Gosh, I taught it was also one of those lies in
movies...about love at first sight stuff
I didn't believe them, until I met this guy ..
Gosh I instantly fell for him, he is so sweet..
And heart warming
Total opposite of that d-ck head Andrew ....
I couldn't help but stare at the way he looks so
fine, with those eye brow and perfectly straight
nose .
I twisted my fingers feeling embarrassed
already, ..he moved and gestured towards the
sofa,
"sit down ann"
I squeezed a smile..
"oh thanks "
I stumbled across the sofa ..
"I never said you should stop being friends
with Andrew, cause you are always welcome
here anytime, but let the dating stuff cut, "
"okay, It will, thanks Caleb "
"you're welcome"
Andrew came back with the coffee, and we all
had a lot of time chatting and getting to much
more about each other . I found out Caleb was
in ss3 attending one if the richest school in
town .. Guess the stuff like having a family
eye follow Andrew every movement made him
reject attending the same school with his
brother..
few weeks of getting to know Caleb was like
getting stucked in a love triangle when I heard
about his long drowling love for his childhood
friend and also one of his classmates.
the more I visit Andrew in pretence to see his
brother, the more I get to like him and get used
to him whenever he came out to say hi,,
Being around Caleb was the most sweetest
feeling in the world we do gist and laugh on so
many occasions, we became such good
friends I get to know his dreams and much
more.....
Read " Beyond captivating " by the same
author ( Op. Amina )
. guess he likes me but wasn't attracted to me
in that other way.... . But I didn't give up i kept
hoping ..
But the thing was he never talked about this
girl he's so much in love it, and I never try to
squeeze it out of him until he decided to talk
about it ...guess he never talked about it until
he left
My long love was caught short when I heard
he travel out of the country to study entirely a
different course from his dreams and I start to
wonder what the hell happened to those
dreams of becoming a Nigeria famous actor ..
Cause he has the quality, the look, the
enigma and the talent...
That was when I knew the two years of
building a long love relationship mind with
caleb had all drown to sea...
I had to lick my wounds alone and forget about
this guy whom I knew as my first love, but my
wish then was I hope we meet again..
Flashback ends
Now staring at him all wounded with a swollen
lips, I didn't wanna believe my eye as it kept
inching so bad, though I do see Andrew on
one or two occasions but he never talks about
his brother and neither do I ask about him....
And now my heart wouldn't stop racing at the
sight of him, I can't believe it's been ten long
years ...
Will he remember me, will he perhaps knew
who I was
"hey" I called softly to him
"how is it you were here when" he said still with
his eyes closed
And right there I knew he was talking through
his sleep ..gosh how the hell did he get himself
stucked in this kind of mess, he looks so
wounded and hurt..
I immediately felt so Disgusted with every thing
mr Erik had done while I battled with an
overwhelming bitterness
Hot tears started to fall before I could stop it .
That man is so heartless, so wicked...
"hey Caleb " I call out again
His eyes flew open as he searched
everywhere in fright and now narrowing his
gaze at me. I sensed he was trying to
remember who I was,
He shifted his head here and there as though
trying to search his brain suddenly he shot his
gaze wide at me and call softly
"oh God Ann, "
At the sound of that ..i knew right there God
has given me the second chance to meet this
guy..... My first love..
Caleb Justin..
I cough and smile between tears
"I thought you wouldn't remember my face
caleb"

Mr Gold pov: Steve dad
I realise my worst night mare is here, when I
glanced side ways to see Steve and a lady, a
pretty one .....
"Lewis inc please" he said
My heart skipped, I wanted to drive off but with
all the strength In me,
I decided to wait,..
Probably this is the way of God is getting back
at me for what I did...
He pushed me right handed into my sons hand
and there's nothing I could do about it..
I was patient to wait until they enter..
Am a failed father... A weakling, a veterinarian
who had nothing, and still kept doing
unnecessary favour until it landed me into so
much trouble...
Trouble of an huge debt I was unable to
afford..
My problem started when
I was first diagnosed with an high blood
pressure, later leading to an heart attack
which nearly took my life...
The doctor warned me to stay away from
stress, that's why I had to fake my death in
collaboration with my family members so as to
get away from debtors and responsibilities..
I know lying to my wife and children was an
hypocrite thing to do...
But I couldn't bear the constant humiliation of
people which almost took away my life ..
I flee to the outside world, thinking If I get
better and get a better job doing I could return
home,
but guess a year isn't enough to get things
right ..
Few months ago through connection I got a job
as a taxi man in the airport, I had to start
managing and secretly sending some cash to
my wife's account, to settle those debt .
But seeing Steve today
I realise how damn long would i keep faking my
death to the world ..
How long will I keep living alone like I have no
family and children,
How long will I keep been a foolish old man..
I should at least think about my children and
wife before thinking of doing such a strong
thing like faking a death..
Gosh how much I miss them, I can see how
much steve has grown so big and handsome..
Probably this Beautiful lady beside him was his
girl..
And
It amazes me how well I can still read his
mood to realise something was indeed wrong ,,
He was crying, Steve never cries ...
He's such a rugged boy, he barely cries even
when he was a kid,
With that i felt so worst inside..
I felt so angry at myself self, am as good as
dead...
I never knew how well he's doing, or whether
he finds a job yet or not... Probably he might
have forgotten about me by now..
Steve was hurt
How do i get to explain to him, how do i get to
tell him I only fake my death so as to get away
from those debt, it's such a shameful thing to
do...
I wanted to call to him but I realise he was
already making out with the lady probably
kissing her...
I smile between tears
Some thing was indeed wrong..
Steve, my son,
I can't help but blink back more tears,,
I'm sorry I failed you son, am sorry I failed all
of you...
I'm so sorry, I hope you do not hate me now
Am a failed father, an incomplete father, a
weakling who couldn't face my problems but
run away from it...
My heart skipped much faster now when I look
up through the glass
And there our eyes met...
He was blinking rapidly not wanting to believe
what he saw
"dad" he called softly at first
"dad!!!!" ...

Comma continue oooo,




OP tanks for the update

Steve pov:
Dad!!!
My eyes were wide with confusion, how is this
possible,
I side glances at Sam who quietly shifted her
weight from my laps and stare at both my face
and the taxi man face,
Ofcourse, any one would call him my dad
cause of the striking resemblance..
I thought I was going mad, my throat inches
so bad as the taxi slowly pulls to stop..
I sat sprawled in my limb body,
this feeling as if the air had been sucked from
my lungs …
No he can’t be real, he was only in my
imagination, he was just an illusion from my
mind, maybe I’ve started to see ghost right
before dyeing..
Ever so slowly I push my palm against my
chest to support my racing heart…
I couldn’t think any more, I was in panic …
At the sound of my heart snapping in my chest
I realise I might actually go into shock at any
moment, I felt another moment of dizziness as
My vision become so blury, i try opening and
closing them so I could see clearly..
This time Sam calls to me quietly, I glance
sideways at her and frown,
Her eyes was full of battling emotions as she
gestured with her head
“there” she said softly
Then did I realise the back door was already
wide open and there stood a man in his early
fifties.
I stare back at Sam fearfully..
“God he isn’t my dad Sam, my dad is dead
and buried, it can’t be ”
My face was tear stained as I sat there feeling
so disrupted, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t think,
it was like the whole world is going against
me, just me,
I lick on my lower and upper lips repeatedly as
I gulp back pains,
It can’t be possible to start seeing ghost when
am not even dead yet, i need to focus, it can’t
be.
I suddenly felt Sam hands on mine only to
realise she was already standing outside.. I
inhale deeply still unwilling to accept it.

. I allow her pull my hands from and out of the
car,
Now standing so tall in front of him, I couldn’t
believe my eyes…
His eyes were overcome with regrets and
sadness which were too numerous to
calculate… the veins on his face as he blink
back tears,
God he was real, looking so old and skinny
than I’d ever remember, his hairs almost
covered in Greys
“God it’s you dad”
I moved towards him and shakily touch his
face,
my heart still throbbing inside of me.. My mind
was covered in thick dark clouds and my whole
form felt as if it had been shred to ribbon…
I was trying to understand what he was
thinking back then as well as his reason for
deceiving us
“but dad why ” I said softly..
“why ”
I was trembling, fidgeting like I was just thrown
in a cold weather of 290 C degree..
I couldn’t do anything but cry as my knees
gave out on me, I knelt hugging his left leg
while he patted my back as we both loose
ourselves into the mass of desolation.
“I was a weakling Steve, how I wish I was as
strong as you are, I had to fake my death
cause of people’s constant humiliation of
debts,
it took me long to realize I should have put
those I love right ahead of my weakness,
instead i wasn’t man enough to face it, nothing
is as good as staying physical to fight ones
problems,
instead I choose to fake a death by leaving
you guys, I’m so sorry Steve… Please find a
place in your heart to forgive me.. ”
I could feel Sam heated hands as she pat my
back, it was then
I realise, dad was actually right, there no need
of getting angry at him…
I shouldn’t blame him cause I was about doing
exactly the same stuff he did..
I wasn’t intending to face my problems,
instead wanted to walk right to death by
leaving the people i love…
This woman who’s supposed to be the reason
why I should live, this woman who is looking
up to me to protect her, I wanted to leave her,
my family, my friends all because of a mere
threat, dad was right..
I release him from my hold and
sniffed, Cleaning up my teary eyes i look
straight to his brown eyes and smile
he is indeed my dad..
“I forgive you old man and I miss you so so
much”
I clear up the tears on his face as we hugged
once more
“thank you son, I miss you more,”
He clear his tone, and yeah i was fast to realise
it was because he saw Sam … I released him
from my hold
“and who is this geogeous highlass, who is so
spotless and fine son”
.. I wrap my hands around sam waist and drew
her closer,
I glare sideways at her and smile,
she was indeed a geogeous highlass, she
met my gaze and blush…
God I love this woman
“Dad, she is the woman who stole my heart, I
love her so much, I could hardly breath ”
Dad laughed, I can’t help but smile too..
“Sam meet my dad, Mr G.G,
Gideon gold, and dad, meet my princess miss
Samanthan Lewis, her dad owns the company
I work in”
Dad was smiling all the way as he drew the
ever shying Sam closer and hugged her,
He released her and smile..
“you have my blessing dear, you are so
pretty”
“thank you sir, it’s nice meeting you” Sam
replied smiling
Sam pov:
Torrents of emotion shook through me,
Seeing Steve cry with his dad was the most
emotional sight of all.
I nearly blink back tears myself
Now as I watch both father and son exchange
conversation, relief flickers all over my face as
I felt really happy that Steve was able to find
his dad..
I stood just a few feet away, watching Steve, I
realise he takes after his good looks from his
dad,
I wonder how his mum and sister would look
like, the family must have such good looks,
So fine and elegant..
Few minutes later Steve holds on to my hand
after exchanging goodbyes pleasantries with
his dad,
We took another taxi..
“why Is he not coming with us Steve ”
“yeah, I would pick him up at this spot tonight,
I think he’s ready to face mum and my sister
too, I told him to go prepare”
I smile
“oh yeah”.
We get back to the company with my dad and
mum awaiting their open arms to me,
“hi sir, hi ma” Steve said as we entered into
my dads office…
I hugged my dad tightly
Now in my mums arms who was blinking back
tears, looking at me as though she wouldn’t
believe what she was seeing, I was smiling at
her,
“Sam my dear, oh God my daughter Is smiling
”
I eyed her lifting up my brow,
“what do you think mum,”
She laughed and hugged me more, I side
watch steve who chatted a little with my dad
about his missing secretary, he excused
himself and was about moving towards the
door when I stopped him…
“hey steve”
I move so close to him as our lips was just a
mere inches apart, I spoke softly and felt the
way Steve was looking at me surprisingly and
side watching both my mum and dad..
I shifted his gaze to me, as he was now staring
straight to my eyes…
” Steve, pick me up tonight okay, I want to
meet your other family,
Not caring whether my mum and dad were
looking.. I hold on the collar of his shirt slightly
and wrap my arms around to hug him,,
“okay I will”
..
I released my hold
“so were are you going now”
“to the police station, any news about her I’ll
call you, make sure your phone is on”
I nodded
“okay “..
“dont kiss me Sam your parents are watching,”
he spoke quietly..
I smile and glance back at mum and dad
whose mouth were wide open as they watch
us..
“am walking Steve out, I would be right back,
I squeezed a smile with the way they both
nodded at the Same time,
I hold my hand with Steve, as we walk out the
door
We were walking down the empty hall when a
lady suddenly raced up to us…
“steveeeeeee”
I stepped in front of Steve before she could
slam her tiny body to him..
She staggered and stop..
“Hi cindy” Steve said..
She was blinking rapidly with her double long
eye lashes, she recognizes me instantly and
bend..
“hi maam”
“hi” I turn and stare back at steve,
“I’ll be expecting your call” I lean over and
kissed him slightly..
“okay babe”,
I eyed her once more with the saying that….
Hope you know he’s mine
I turn on my heel slowly and left for my dad
office….
***
Seconds later my worst nightmare surfaced,
when the door suddenly clicked open and
there uncle Erik walked into the office with a
sharp glittering knife on his hands..
“hello samanthan”
His smile was horror.. And right there my legs
trembled so bad, I feel like fainting..

Steve pov:
I groaned inwardly bolting forward towards the
side of the road to get a taxi
Few minutes of turbulent welcome from my
colleagues was hell,
God those guys are something else, they
wouldn’t leave me alone
.seriously ..
I can’t believe they aren’t even getting their
ass worked up on Ann disappearance,
only asking stupid questions about my
relationship with Sam.. Goshhhh…
And that Cindy girl what was that all about
..
Flash back
Without further delay after glancing back at
Sam ..I took few steps forward and call back
at Cindy..
“Cindy, come-on. . Let’s get out to the main
hall. ”
She fastened her step and grab my hands …
“Steve wait ”
I glanced down at her and study her for a
moment…
She looks different and smells faintly of lilacs
yeah she looks good but what,
“I’ve missed you” she sounded as if she was
about to weep ..
whats all this …
we hardly even talk before I left ..
I watch her bite her lips and eyed me s-
ductively,
“see” she gently took my hand and place it on
her chest I had to shift my gaze away at the
sight of her exposed bre-st..
“my heart is beating for you Steve, this is the
way I’ve always felt since the first day I set my
eyes on you” her tone was soft and s-ductive
I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth
“cindy, get back to your senses and leave my
hand, any one might be coming… even sam”
She frown blinking her catty eyelashes
rapidly…
“It’s surprising that our ever cold miss
Samanthan could fall for you with in a week
and how many days,”
she snorted out
I squeezed my brows and sounded matter of
fact
“watch your mouth, I don’t want you talking
about her that way ”
I yanked my hand off and took a few steps
forward..
She ran up once more stopping me again,
without giving me some breathing space she
tiptoed and placed her lips on mine..
“taaaaa” I pushed her back while I glance
back to make sure anyone is not coming .

charming
. I turn back to her and spoke hoarsely
“what the heck is wrong with you Cindy, Sam
is someone I can never play with, much less
toy with her emotions …
I love her more than my life, so would you stop
being so silly and excuse me,”
I bolted to the main hall leaving her there all
stunned and shocked,
I thought I’ve always day dream of screwing
her with those simplicity and flawless look but
that was before I left …not anymore, not now
that I met sam
*****
The day had gotten dawned hot and drenched
with humidity. As the heat it brought shimmered
to my form
I know lying to Sam about heading to police
station is hell bent.
But I have to fight this, I have to be strong for
her.. I need to get to my apartment and think of
how to defeat this uncle of hers without anyone
dieing …
I just have to get away from here to make up
with some plans cause after seeing that fuse
inside mr Lewis office, I was sure he took care
of his plans so well.. Those bomb are real…
God,
I retreated further to the upper side of the road
when an SUV slowly drove by, reversed and
parked in front of me..
“steve” the voice call out
I guided my hand to the piercing sun and bend
The glass was slided down .. Surprisingly it
turn out to be no other but the ever champion
male sl-t who could date 100 girls with in a
month …this is so surprising
“Andrew wao it’s been a while”..
“come on hop in Steve, hope you ain’t in a
hurry ”
“no not at all”
he drove inside the company and towards the
parking deck
“And you why are you here, coming for a
business”
“not really” he shook his head
I nodded and glanced back at the back seat,
he noticed this and smile
“man, what the hell are you looking at,, chicks
huh, you checking whether I got some chicks
at my back seat.”
I scan his ever s-xy look once more and
tapped him on the head..
“common man I was only glancing back,” I
replied cooly
He smile faintly ..
“right now, if not for this mess my brother got
me into I should have been banging my third
chick at some hotel right now ”
Smiling wryly I cleared my tone
“remember you ain’t the only guy that got a
d*ck man, Good God andrew you are such a
b-tch right from school ”
He laughed..
“common Steve on normal occasions you
could have well meet one or two chicks with
big butt at that back seat, but my big brother is
missing, we’ve been looking all over for him
since last night .. That’s why I came around
here to meet with the daughter of the person
who owns this company, Martha or Sam
whatever.”
“Samanthan” I corrected
“yes SAMANTHAN he continued, God you
can’t believe my bro has been all over this
chick……… ”
“woman” I corrected once more
He stare at me shaggily before he continued
“Caleb has been all over this girl since he was
a kid Steve, you can’t believe it. ”
Suddenly the conversation hit too close at the
sound of Caleb, caleb…
Caleb was Andrew brother .. God I can’t
believe this, and him being missing could …..
Wait…..
Could he be the second person that horrible
man kidnap… thought his mum came for him,
how did he….”
My eyes widened surprisingly as I stare back
at andrew …
“you have a big bro, I thought the only brother
you got was john”
“I got a big bro man just that he didn’t situate
around here for years, he just came back
about a year ago, chasing after this same
chick he’s been heads over In love with since
ten years old, what kind of love Is that
imagine, my mum just brought him back from
Abuja yesterday, we got into a Lil fight, so he
left angrily, and hasn’t been back home ever
since, I have to leave the police station and
come here..

∆

. ”
“but i didn’t expect to see you here thought I
heard from Ann you were transfered or
something, and talk of Ann have been trying
her number she isn’t picking,”
I struggled on my seat with my finger on my
lips thinking all sort, this feeling of irritation and
churning anger boiling inside of me , this is
getting too much, how am i gonna do this so
caleb, Ann and everyone wont loose their life
to this
I gulp back anguishness as Andrew continued
“do you know if the chick is around or
something ”
“a woman ” I corrected angrily this time
“hey man come on, a woman is a chick, a
chick’s a woman ” he said playfully
You relate Sam like that again and am gonna
get your ass crawl out of here Andrew…
He laughed
“common man Sam, chick, chick sam”
My hard blow landed on his shoulder as he let
out a painful grin..
“wait…..dont tell me you are also in love with
this girl”
“for Christ sake, she isn’t a girl but a woman
Andrew ”
“seriously man, what about Jessica, Celine,
Beatrice ,vivian.. Those chick you’ve f**cked
man you just gonna let them go like that ”
I sent him a jaggy look
“you are a complete nut case Andrew common
have some respect for those ladies”
“you know what” he continued thickly
“I really wish to meet this chick who sent both
you and brothers heart racing off the hill …i bet
am gonna steal her away”
He opened the door and raced out before he
could get another one of my hard blow,
He came in again..
“come on man, get down and lead me in ”
“I think I know where Caleb is..
At the sound of that he suddenly lurched
himself in and sat straight..
I turn my head and obviously almost spit in half
at his sight, he was coming out of company ..
As always with his dark outfit and
unreasonable Laugh,
Why is he always laughing.
“gosh this man is going crazy ”
And Sam my God is she okay,, I glaced at my
phone and saw five missed calls …
Two from Anita and three from sam..
“Richy get down front the driver seat ”
Erik said harshly..
I quickly wine up and and drop down the seat,
I was fast to gesture at Andrew to stay quiet
and do the same thing I did..
I dailed her number and spoke quietly
“sam, are you okay”
“steve that horrible man came, I think he only
came to scare me”
“stay put babe, did he hurt you”
“no no Steve, mum and dad is here ”
“okay, stay right there with them I would be
with you soon, love you”
“love you too” the phone got disconnected
I peep as he continue tapping at the glass as
though telling someone to get down…
This man has turn totally crazy,
“no one is inside that car” Andrew said quietly
“get the hell down from my car Richy, go meet
mummy, daddy needs to run some errands ”
The door quietly open by itself as he turn to
talk to space..
“Richy, go now and bath, you are such a
mess.. ”
His horror attitude scares me, but still there is
still so many lives at risk here… I need to strike
to action immediately ..
The realisation on what to do came to me and I
quickly turn to Andrew,,

“Andrew there is no time to explain anything,
am going out to hide in that mans boot so he
could lead Me to where Caleb and Ann is”
“Ann,… Caleb…. What…the hell are…. ”
“hey no questions, just make sure you trail his
car, be as far as possible so he won’t caught
you,,.. Stay at a far corner so you can pick me
up, when I ring you ”
“okay man ” Andrew gasp
“am in”
I peeped once more, After making sure Erik
has entered his car, I got down quietly and
raced to the back, thank God his boot was not
locked….
I quietly open it and gestured at Andrew to
stay alert while I entered and close it back
quietly …although it was so tight but for the
lives of my loved ones I had to squeeze my
form in
In the next seconds I heard the sound of his
laugh, as he drove out….
Few minutes I think I got busted when my
phone suddenly let out a ring.
Damn!!!!
With sweat brims all over my face,, I cursed
and quickly off the phone and place it to
silent..
God it was anita..
Damn anita
His car suddenly pulls to slow as he stopped
and I knew right away heaven is calling and
it’s finally here
I heard the sound of laugh and that of a knife
“someone is at back of my boot” he laughed
and got down..
I heard his foot steps as he moved slowly and
now standing at the back
he let out another wicked laugh.. As he
cracked the boot
“gram, O my God”

Caleb pov:
Ann
Guilt fluttered all over my face knowing how
fully well I completely forgot about ann… She
was such a wonderful friend…
A very good one , how could I have just
forgetten about her like that..
for a moment I could only stare as she blink
back tears…
Her smile was slow and warm
filled with those innocent girly look I saw the
very first day Andrew brought her home..
I can’t believe it’s been 10 long years and it
felt just like yesterday..
But how much I miss that girl …nooo
My eyes locked onto hers
for a moment. ..
Her sight sent tremors of delight racing through
me
I can’t believe I forgot all about my pains and
ache.
My heart was beating fast now as I gasped…
she isn’t a girl anymore,
But a sinfully s-xy woman ..
I try getting back to my senses but I couldn’t ..
I swallowed hard , I have never referred any
woman as s-xy in a long while except Sam,
.
My heart wouldn’t stop beating as I met her
stares,
I stare down at my trouser and surprisingly
glared back at her
i frown ,
How’s this possible ,,
Sam is the only woman that has ever turn me
on at the mere sight of her
now Ann,
I felt a burning surge as I bit my lower lips, she
isn’t talking, probably waiting for me to say
something first ..
I tried focusing on my pains and not the way
she looks so spelled bound..
i can’t believe she’s as s-xy as anything even
with her bruised face
…
I remain speechless, my stares meeting her
love, tempting dry lips, how I wish I could just
get out of this rope and sucked on them, wet
them, seized them…
I shifted my gaze down wards to her boob’s,
Damn….i had to close my eyes and opened
them again
What wrong with you caleb
I realised my hands were tied so tightly to the
back…
theres no way I could move them,
My whole form hurts, but with all the effort in
me, I moved the chair with my legs, it took few
second but I successfully got to be in front of
her..our legs only mere inches apart.
I frowned and stared at her bruised face …the
room was dark ,I couldn’t see much…
I gulp back pains as I remember those hot slap
I overheard yesterday, all of that on her face,,
Damn those people, f**k them..
I noticed her breathing has accelerated a little ,
I narrow my stares back to her eyes this time,
she was looking down at her laps,
I had to smile she has always been that shy
type
“hi beautiful” I finally spoke..
I sensed her fast breath evaporated
with a small smile ,
“hi C. J”
At the sound of her soft voice for a moment the
pains in my wound seems to varnish into thin
air..
“I love how that sound,”
She was trying to laugh but was cut shut as
she groans in pains ..
“Ann, you are hurt, ”
“I would be lieing if I said am not , ” she let out
a breath..
“how did you get here Caleb, thought you
traveled out ”
“yes I did, I came back about a year ago”
“a year ago, ” there was a surprising tone In
her voice
“yea am sorry I neither said my good byes
then or get in touch with you after I came back,
”
I realise her sober thoughts intruded right in
her voice when she finally spoke
“oh … How much I missed you caleb”
Her response emboldened me .
It shocked me, it was like the entire planet has
just been blowed into a smithereens.. Silence
descended as we both stare into each others
eyes..
No lady has ever said that to me, not even
when I had spoken to the woman I’ve loved all
my life.
But this elegant woman in front of me, why
does it feels like she was the one I’ve craved
and loved all this years ..
All sort of feeling raved through me at the sight
of her being hurt and wounded…
My stomach knotted and so so wish I could
strangle whomsoever did this to her”
“Ann….” I gritted my teeth ..
“who is behind this, I was at a club last night
when I eaves drop on these people
conversation and tortures.. .i didn’t know it was
you they were torturing
I was trying to escape when one of the grabed
me …
I tell you they gave me the beatings I have
never experienced in my life ”
I felt her eyes searched mine as her breath
accelerated once more..
“hope they didn’t hurt you much C. J, are you
in pain, are you okay …. Are you ”
“I’ll manage Ann, ” I had to cut her words
Now frowning
Is all this real or my imagination ..
And why do I have this feeling I should start
seeing this woman as more than a friend,
if God says we’ll get out of this mess..
Maybe I should give it a try, hopefully I might
forget about Sam..
Or may be …..
My heart was there hammering all the while as
too many thoughts run through it
I licked on my lips once more….
Could this be love…
Noooo
What about my feelings for Sam, how can I
relate that..
“it’s Mr Lewis ..Caleb, he’s an evil man, ” she
said
My mind skipped
“Lewis ….you mean the same Lewis …sam
dad”
“not Sam dad but the brother Erik lewis”
“what , ” I nod limply into space
so he was the one who stabbed me “I fumed to
myself… ”
“what’s wrong with him, what did he want ”
I glanced back at her unable to stop staring at
her alluring lips,
“I don’t know Caleb, he just derive pleasure in
evil, he is such a wicked soul, he’s gonna kill
us ” she sobs
“I don’t wanna die caleb”
I glanced around and let out a breath..
I try squeezing my form around the rope but
my side hurt like hell.. I hope I wont I die of
infection…
Seeing her so scared and hurt
All I could do now was be a man and give her
hopes .. Although it hurt me, it hurt me so much
to see her like this..
I moved my chair now beside her ,
“ann, am sure people are out there looking for
us, you won’t die… We both won’t okay”
I stare down at her lips, and gave her form a
brooding look ,
what am I thinking,
years ago …
i could only love one girl and that was Sam
and I was hell sure I dreamt about her minutes
ago .
And in the next minutes I can’t seems to get
this damsel out of my mind…
God what’s wrong with me
My thought got interrupted when the door
suddenly flinged open.
There,
A tall guy with locks and high boot came in all
smelling of smoke .
He carried a lamb light and place it high on the
wall..
Ann shuddered and spoke softly…
“Caleb move back a bit ”
I was fast to do what she said before he turn to
us.. My eyes widened at him
“mmmm” his eyes shadowed at Ann for an
instant then hardened…
Why is this bastard looking at her that way..
“spike” he called out..
He cracked his neck and adjusted himself to lit
a cigarette
Another beard guy also with lock came in after
him, rugged look, dark, with two narrow eye
that went right in like skeleton.. also wearing a
top boot with half licked cigarette on his
hands.. Both with red shirt which has the head
of a skeleton printed on it
“Shabana xup”
The cigarette dangles from shabana lips as he
skimmed a long intimate look at Ann..
His voice was thick.. And hard
” shey you no see that geshi ni, I Don dey eye
am since yesterday , ”
Spike moved and sat at a corner
“shabby, you know say boss no go like make
we do that kind thing without his go ahead na,
commot your eye ”
All the while, ..my head was banging..
I stare back at ann who was also trembling like
Christmas chicken..
Heat, thick as boiled sugar cane surged
through my veins… My breath choked ,,
It’s been long I called to God but right now..
My head knew it, my heart knew it, my whole
form knew it that I have to….
God I just want this people dead, Or you take
my life first, I can’t watch them touch Ann, I
can’t take this… please God please, ..
Shabanna ignored spike, he laughed and
moved further, first he stood in front of me for a
while and bend slowly..
God he was so ugly..
Heat as red as the glowing end of his cigarette
shot right on my face
“fine boy,” he pursed for a moment and
“roooooooarrrr” he puff out his smoke
Gosh I got shocked, is he a dog, a lion or what
..this guys I so much hate them
goooooooshhhhh, he stood straight
I briefly closed my eyes and blew out a breath
…but the rage expression on my face was
nothing to write home about ,,

I watch him moved towards Ann.. He was
staring at her like he would swallow her up at
and moment .. He lift up his dirty hands on face
and c-ressed her cheek slightly..
“Omo spike this girl soft oo, she go sweet die”
God my whole system went awry, I couldn’t
think, couldn’t blink, my veins rushed out to
see what was happening as I squeezed my
form on the chair.. The words that lingers came
out of my mouth anyway
“don’t you dare touch her ”
And it shocked me, even when I had seen that
Steve guy kissed Sam I hadn’t spoken out like
this.. I was all but feeling awful and disgusted.
..
He turn back to me angrily and gave me a ring
out blow right on the lips …
“Good God ” I winced
“how dare you talk back at me ”
He landed another hot slap on my face
“aaaaaaaa”
I spat out some blood ,
I stare back at him and grinned storbbonly
before spatting blood right at his front..
“you are a gold digger”
At the sound of that he grabbed my ear and
twisted it so hard, I ruggedly hold my screams
as hot tears rushed down my face..
God it was so painful..
Ann screamed in horror
“leave him alone, you are hurting him ”
Spike was there at a corner watching the whole
stuff.. He was laughing and smoking the living
day out of himself..
Shabby landed another hard blow on my face,
this time I flew along with the chair to the right
angle of the room…
“caleb” Ann screamed once more ….i groaned
in pains but still storbbornly
Turn and smile up at shabby
“come on, ” I lashed out. .. He bolted towards
me and grabbed my cloth, I could only watch
as he slapped me
Left, right, left right..
Goshh I was so so defenseless with my tied
hands, everywhere instantly turned double as
the blood coming out of my head sprink along
with the slap,
Left, right he continued
Ann scream pierced the whole room as she
cries..
At the sound of that I felt so awful but still…… if
its the only way I got to distract this guy from
her, then am so willing to get the beating ..
“eeee don do you shabby, shey na beating
you con do for here or you con bang ” spike
called
Shabby suddenly pushed me away and there
my head banged on the chair as it slid much
further into the room, I was laying on my side
now, everywhere hurt so bad, my head bang,
my body aches, my wound pierces, it took me
few seconds to get back my visions only to see
the bastard whispering to Ann’s ears, he
laughed and moved to the back to loosen the
rope..
“this geshi get big butt, uhhhh”
My gut tightened at the sound of that, I
struggled and pushed my self ..god please
Ann… Ann doesn’t deserve this, I kicked and
groan…
“you bastard don’t you dare touch her.. ”
I stare at ann’s eyes which now full of fears
and terror.. God they threatened her..
“dont you dare listen to their threat ann let
them kill me if they want to”
“oh God, ” I cried out loud as hot tears rushed
down my face.. This was a moment of truth for
me, the moment I knew Ann was the one have
been loving all this years, it wasn’t Sam it was
her,
Maybe that was why God shut my courage off
Sam totally,
Maybe that was why I had to watch her
secretly for good eighteen years without doing
nothing .
This was a moment, for all my previous
imaginings, that i would not have believed
possible, a moment of rare and exquisite
horror that would last in my memory forever.
It was Ann., God I stopped loving Sam a long
time ago, it was her.
I kicked and shout as I watch them order her to
kneel with her ass up..
She stare back at me and blink back tears
“dammit Ann, don’t you dare”
My face was horror, blood covered and
dreaded,
Shabby holds her now free hands as She
moved slowly and bends ..
And there the door suddenly fling open..
And in the next moment we heard the sound of
gun shot as shabby suddenly layed flat in cold
blood, Ann eyes widened at the sight as she
raced uncontrollably towards me,
She bents and carried my head to her laps..
She wipe off my blood stained face and sob..
.
“c. j are you okay,”
“I am not”
With trembling hands she touched my eyes
and stare into them..
“I’m not because, God really answered my
prayers”
She nodded and smiled through tears.. ..
She was opening her mouth to say something
when suddenly
“grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
We both glanced up at the sound and gasped
“oh no not again”
*******

Steve pov:
For the life of me I dare not move, I dare not
make a sound,
Holy lord,
My heart was pounding so hard I almost melt
into arches,
I heard his foot steps as he moved slowly and
now standing at the back of his jeep..
He let out another wicked laugh and
cracked the boot…
My eyes widened
“oh my God”
the next I heard was Andrew shaky voice..
“emm excuse me sire” Andrew called
“Andrew ”
I let out a silent breath when erik pressed back
the boot .. I squeezed my form and kissed the
cross on my neck…
That was close
“what do you want ” Erik barked..
Andrew pov.. .
I glanced ahead and cursed silently as he
pulled his jeep to slow,
Holy shit .
I glanced around the express away
This can’t be his destination ,
All episodes of this story can be found here >>
https://www.ebonystory.com/story/cold-but-
charming
. It can’t be,
I watched him get down from his jeep and
glance at the direction of his boot…
At the sight of that I realise Steve might have
been completely busted..
As quick as possible i pulled the gear and
parked behind a car by the side of the road
Although I didn’t know who this man was, but
at the sight of him and his strange attitude
earlier, you could tell he would be as
dangerous as he looks..
I shut the door and ran a little further. ..
My heart skipped at the sight of a knife… I had
to quickly bend beside the car in front of me,
he glanced around and hides the knife in his
pocket..
He walked slowly now to the back of his black
jeep and let out a deep laugh
I ran forward and slower my pace when I get
closer,
I steady my breath and stood few feet away
glancing left and right like I was looking for a
taxi ..
i thrust my fingers through my hairs, now
watching him from the corner of my eyes..
Oh no do something Andrew
“krrrrrrrrr” he cracked his boot
“Excuse me sire” I interrupted rather shakily
He pressed the boot back and glance side
ways at me…
I stare at his deep dark expression, which now
holds a rising temper..
“what do you want ” he barked…
“actually sire I lost my way around here”,,
“sooo, find your way then” he scowled turning
back to the boot..
“Actually sire”
I was about opening my mouth to talk further
only to see him move backwards, his brows
rising up in a lined furrows.
His gaze was at the back of his jeep as though
something invisible just came out of it
“Richy who the hell owns the phone in your
hands ”
“stop playing with that phone already, I told
you to go meet mummy and have your bath”
I widened my eyes at the sight ,
I got so scared …
I slowly moved backwards and turn …almost
falling as I raced back to my car like fire
“God ” I staggered holding on to my chest as I
pant in and out ..

“Gosh, what the hell was that, I always hate
horror movies I can’t believe I just saw one
horror scene just now ”
I puff out a breath and fearfully turn my face
back to the direction…
He already moved back to the driver seat
pointing his finger back angrily as though he
was referring to someone…..
“this man has gone totally crazy, God he
needs psychiatrist help”
A chill passed through me at the thought of
what kind of game Steve is actually playing
with this deadly man.
We can just get the police to hijack him so he
could confess wherever the hell he puts Ann
and my brother ..
I hissed and tapped my self on the head .
” stupid what about evidence. He did nothing,
mere accusation wouldn’t solve anything … I
hope Steve is able to do something at least
get an evidence so we could just report him
already”
I raced round towards the drivers seat and
quickly starts the ignition …….
After I watch him drove out…
I took a turn to the express way
few seconds later my phone buzzed out …
“hello mum”
” Andrew any news about caleb”
“mum Caleb is fine, you know what I’ll call you
back”
“Andrew ”
“mum okay ”
I disconnected the phone and dropped it on
the seat beside me..
Still with a racing heart I pull on the gear and
zoom forward…
********
Steve pov,
I wipe the Sweat on my face
I can’t believe he wouldn’t even turn on his A.
C all this while,
I took a deep silent breath and I squeeze my
form wondering what rubbish he parked in here
to make it so tight and stuffy..
gosh my legs and arms hurts like hell ..
Whatever had happened back there I was sure
with the way he spoke, the anger and the throb
in his voice
It’s like a ghost is tomenting him …
Serves him right
And Andrew …i was sure he fled like a b-tch,
leaving me like this.
What if the ghost hadn’t scared erik off this
boot, Andrew would have left me…
Goshhhhhh whom ever this Richy is, I just
hope you help me fight this to the end..
I bit my lips and clicked on my phone when a
silent message entered ..
It was Sam…
“hello steve were are you any news about Ann
”
“not yet babe ”
“but are you sure you are okay ”
“babe, am fine I’ll be with you soon. Had to
run some errands ” .
“are you sure you are okay, cause my mind is
saying other wise, ”
“babe, calm down your man is fine I’ll be with
you soon, okay ….. i have to go now, but are
you sure your devilish uncle didn’t hurt you”
“no Steve, he only came in with a sharp knife
in his hand and laughed, mum and dad were
surprised they definitely questioned him on the
knife. .
But the next he brought out was an
orange, he’s such a trickish man, he came to
threaten me and ends up fooling mum and
dad.”
“calm down babe, I won’t let him hurt you, just
stay right there okay I love you so much ”
She sends a smiley
“Love you too”
I closed the chat and glanced up at the sound
of his laugh..
I silent my breath and listen…
“Man Desmond, I hate you, I hate, l hate you
so much…
after taking the life of that stupid lover boy. .
your daughter death is next whether you like it
or not.. ”
He let out an horror double tone laugh
At the sound of that, my stomach knotted… As
quick as possible i pressed on the record on
my phone, squeezed up my form and place it
high on top of the rubbish he occupied the boot
with…
damn it, how could I have been so stupid not
to realise he’s still gonna cause hovoc even
after taking my life”
But why did he hate his brother so much,
thought he hated Sam instead what’s really
happening…
It was like the ghost was present again
suddenly his voice breaks into a racking
scorn..
“let me tell you what happened Richy, if you
think am a bad father, I’m not,
Stop following me, I’m not a bad person
Richy…
Read ” Beyond captivating ” by the same
author ( Op. Amina )
. ” he shouted and cried…
He pulls the car to speed… My phone almost
fall, but I was fast to catch it…
I hold on to it tightly and silently place it back
to the top of the nonscence he occupied the
boot with …
“God Richy, I thought he was my brother, but
I never knew he was my enemy, he took all I
had away from me, all of you, your brothers
and your mum.”
It was like the ghost spoke back to him asking
about how it all happened ..
“Okay okay promise me if I tell you how. You
would stop following me,”
“you would be at rest Richy, am only avenging
your death. Desmond took you all away from
me”
He was silent for a moment, My heart suddenly
skipped when he let out a deep scream..
“stop”
“stop arguing with me Richy, am your father, I
knew every damn thing that happened…”
I was actually shaking with everything I was
eaves dropping on,
My heart let out a pounding like never before
so the ghost was his son, so it might be the
ghost actually knew I was here,
God the ghost is helping me squeezed all his
secret out…
Is this real life or fantasies, so ghosts who
torments really exists..
Whereever you are Richy. I know I can’t see
you, and I know you’re trying to stop your dad
too, but I just really wish you could show
yourself to me once after all this is over…
you’ve really helped me a lot… Thank you so
much …
“shut up Richy ” he argued
“Desmond always had everything ahead of me,
fame, women, he passed out of school ahead
of me, he acquired wealth ahead of me …he
acquired everything ahead of me despite being
his senior brother thought it was faith right at
first,, but when he had the only thing I have
ahead of him…
Mine crumbled and varnished, and that was
you guys, when he had Sam, that was when
you guys died and then did I realise that
accident had happened so he could be ahead
of me again, I wanted to kill his daughter but I
thought of it and hold back,
I wanted to torture Her.
I wanted to make her life miserable before I
would strangled her to death….. so Desmond
would know how pained it is to loose a child…
I thought a grown up child would be the most
painful one right…
He laughed between sobs…
“Richy, am only avenging your death.,, don’t
worry if am done here I’ll come join you guys,
your mum and your brothers, hope they are
fine ”
“what!!!!, you don’t know where they are, ”
“so you choose to keep tomenting your dad,
cause you are not at rest right, it’s a simple
thing to do. Just go to your grave and rest,
Richy go. , go now”
He let out another laugh…
“good boy ”
All possible thoughts drove away from my mind
at the discoveries,
I was so shocked to the extent, I thought I
was gonna die of fear …
I just don’t know what to start thinking
anymore,
This ghost has really done his part, its now left
or me to protect my woman in every possible
way …
If he’s planning to hurt her, then I must plan
for a way to get her to safety tonight .
I struggled and stretched my arms to pick my
phone , I clicked on the record and quickly
saved it…
Your downfall is near Eric
..
His jeep finally pulls to stop ,, he got down… I
struggled at the back of his boot , it was
opened as though someone has opened it ..
I blinked rapidly and squeezed my form up to
peep through the glass.. I glanced around,
the building was a bungalow, probably the
house he lives in,
I saw a guy met him half way as he led him
further …
There was anger all over his face when he
stormed in….
I opened the boot slowly and got down..
My whole body hurts from too much bending ,
but for the life of me I have to get out of here, I
slide my phone into my pocket and tapped on it
At the sound of gun shot, my mind skipped in
beats , I wanted to run right inside the
building.. But something in me stops me….
Don’t you dare Steve
I turn Instead and ran towards the gate…
I hope Ann and Caleb are safe..
But still I must find a way to come back here
tonight,, probably to come search for the bomb
botton ….
But first I have to get out of here for now…
I raced at the sight of Andrew gesturing at me
I kissed on my cross once more and raced
further..
So help me God …

This episode is dedicated to all of my dearest
readers.
One love …
Steve pov:
With a sharp intake of breath, I slid into the
seat and rested my head back after clicking on
the seat belt,
I watched as Andrew reversed and drove out
like a man whose nemesis is about catching
up with him…
His eyes flew towards me in alarm after getting
to the express way ,
He let out a smooth wolf whistle as if he just
escape jumping over a large pit full of hungry
zombies ..
“man, how did it go, did you see Ann and
caleb”
He winced as I jerked him with my elbow
“man what was that about” he groaned
I widened my eyes at full length
“you fled Andrew, you left my life hanging and
fled ”
“sorry about that”… He smiled
“but man, if you’d seen the scene, you
wouldn’t tell me to wait, God my leg almost
touched the back of my head in the process of
running ..”
He send me another glance
“but you are such a man Steve I bet if I were
to be the one inside that boot, at the mere
sound of his horrible laugh I would run out like
a scared puppy probably to start looking for my
mum or something, that man is horror, total
horror man… ”
I smile and shook my head…
.”All you’re good at is to f-ck with that big d**k
of yours andrew, you’re so useless”
I inched further and jerked my hand at his
zipper.
He laughed out loud, dragging my hands off
his privates..
“common man I’m driving, told you I’m sorry,
oh God” he made a painful noise all the while
and adjusted his jean after jerking my hands
off him ..
He catches his breath and arched his brows ..
“you are such a g*y Steve, told you am sorry”
“take the sorry for yourself andrew”
I straighten up slowly and adjusted on the seat
“so how did it go, did you see them” he asked
curiously
“no I didn’t, there’s no chance for that, but I
manage to get an evidence at least ”
Damn!!!!, Andrew let out a litany of curses few
seconds after hearing the record…
“wao, this is well enough to get the bastard
convicted, he is such a psycho, I can’t believe
his brother doesn’t even know about this, but
it’s done man we are talking this right ahead to
the police station.. ”
I stared into space and rub on my jaw
“it’s more than that Andrew, I am to surrender
to him tomorrow or else he’s gonna kill both
Caleb and Ann…..
“what!!!, he paused for a moment and
continue
“well it’s simple we still have to get him
arrested before he make any attempt..”
I felt a painful rise and fall in my chest as I sort
further control trying to pull my thought away
from so many lives hanging in danger,
I slanted my glance back at Andrew whose
face was now concentrated ahead ..
“he has bomb stored everywhere, he even
threaten if I choose to bring the police along I
should go ahead”
Andrew cursed lifting his right hand to his
head…
“oh Noooooooo, what kind of a hell Is this man
pulling at, he’s totally mad, a crazy psycho, I
can’t believe he is such a bully…
so what are planning to do”
“he said something about some botton he’s
gonna press to activate and deactivate those
bomb, I have to go back there tonight and
search for it”
“you can’t man,” Andrew wailed
“it’s too dangerous ”
I angled my head sharply
“See Andrew I have no other choice,
something in me just doesn’t trust the bastard
not to press the damn botton even after I turn
up,
he doesn’t mind to go down, so far every one
else is going down with him,…
You know what just make sure you get the
police all ready up there at exactly eight in the
morning ..
He shuddered and spoke softly, more in a girly
manner,
“so you’ll still traipse all the way back to that
horrible man house in the dark, all by
yourself..
I smile and landed a soft blow on his lap…
“you are such a girl Andrew ”
He roll his eyes and chuckled
“If its pertaining to that horror …i accept..
Uhhhh, the man is such a freak ”
The whole drive back to Lewis Inc was exactly
an hour, thirty minutes all together after
Andrew brought the idea of visiting Ann’s
parents whose family and siblings were all but
feeling all too dreaded about her
disappearance ,
The sight was momentarily sad, full of different
pastors who came to visit.. Her dad was off to
the police station, while her mum could only
weep hugging a much bigger bible to herself..
Neighbours were all frightened as they came in
and out to share their condolences…
I had to call her mum to private and explain
what’s at hand, I played the record to her,
then plead for her to calm her breath …
“all will be fine Mrs Jude, we are on it already,
all we need now is your supporting prayers,
and not those tears ma’am, so far am
concern Ann is alive, and I assure you, I’ll
bring her back safely to you”
Being a well educated woman, she accepted
all I told her and outstretched her hands, she
hug me, extending more of her blessings as
she led us out,
“may God be with you steven, thank you” she
called out and wave till we were out of sight ..
“so what next” Andrew expelled a breath after
driving into Lewis parking deck
Few minutes of explaining all Andrew needed
to prepare for my mission took like forever,
I tapped him on the head when I saw him
glancing at a lady passing by
“andrew” i send him scornful glance
“man sorry, but that chick is wao”
I bit my lips unbelievably …
“is this a curse or what Andrew, your brothers
life is at stake here”
A mischievous grin played on his lips,
“common man, am only appreciating her ”
“must you appreciate all ladies ,”
I throw my phone at him,
“just send the record already ”
I got down and turned back to him after getting
at the final decision ..
“no glances at road side chicks Andrew, get
yourself busy, I’ll meet you at the junction
around 7:oclock tonight okay “..i pointed my
finger at him
He nodded…. “done man, see you there”
I blew out a breath and briefly close my eyes
while I made my way in..
I ignored Cindy who now moves shakily
towards me while I holla at most of my
colleagues who were eagerly asking about
Ann..
“thank God you guys are asking about Ann
now” my amber gaze pointed towards them…
They spoke at random,
“you guys are impossible ” I smile
While we talked about Ann, and all possible
improvement the police are taking .
Few minutes later I excused myself and
flashed a deliberate provocative scowl at Cindy
who was staring at me all the while.. .
I tossed my head the other side and hissed.
I got a lot more to worry about than your
stupid flirty attitude miss
I lambered my way into the hall and towards mr
Lewis office..
I knocked twice,
“it’s Steve sir”
Sam was fast to open the door as she flinged
her tiny form into my strong arms …
It got me by surprise at first, I sighed and
smile as she let out a soft breath into my
chest..
I counted her closer and buried my face in her
hair as I pressed more of her into my chest
She clung to me as vehemently as i did to her,
breathing in her baby scent, this time she
smells of lily mixture lavender…
“I’m glad you’re fine steve ” she whispered,
“babe” I bit my lips as she lifted her hands to
frame my face, her fingertips reveling the
roughness of my jaw.
“what took you so long ” she asked softly
“went on an errand babe, we’ll talk about that
later okay ”
I glanced up to meet with her mums everly
smiling face whose eyes were now clouded
with tears..
She eased it away while she hugged her arms
around herself..
It’s normal for her to cry, Sam was just like a
new transformation they never imagined
possible .
I smile towards her and kissed Sam hairs …
Sam eyes never left mine as she slowly closed
the door behind her,
The smile on her face spoke the international
language of love as I stare into them..
Our love glances was cut when Mr Lewis
called out
“hey Steve, you are welcome, my baby is so
worried about you,” he send me a grin
I pull the ever smiling Sam closer to me and
winked..
“you know what” he continued…
My eyes followed him as he crossed the room..
And now back to the table. He pulled his chair
and eased into it..
“Nancy and I was just wondering how you
manage to turn sam into an incredible young
woman in less than two weeks , …. Heaven
knows we’ve been trying and looking up for
that change in years ”
I laughed and eased Sam to the seat beside
me
“I didn’t have to change her, she has always
been that charming type sir ”
He tipped up his chin as both husband and
wife let out a laugh…
“well, we know it’s a little secret between you
two, so whenever you guys feel it’s high time
you tell us, we are always here,
At least our daughter is finally back to us,
so any news about Ann” he said while going
through some files…
“not yet sir, but the police are making
necessary progress,”
“I heard she met with my lawyer last night
before she got missing probably asking him
where she can get a private investigator or
something”
“what!!!” I narrow my glance and adjusted
when their glances melted on my face
including sam… I quickly squeezed up a smile
and nodded..
“yes I heard that too”
I pressed my thumb to my lips while I rubbed
on it slightly..
I got Ann into this mess, I created it, and
would possibly find a solution to it …
Gosh damn Erik, what the hell does that man
want
We chatted a little …few minutes we were cut
off by Mrs Lewis exiting voice,
“you know what Steve, Sam has said a lot
more than I imagined about you,
so why don’t you guys go on a date, She said
you haven’t gone at all probably cause of work
or something..”
I smile towards her and nodded
..
“yes ma’am ”
“go go go love birds, you can just take the
veyron outside,”
Mr lewis said throwing the car keys at me, I
was fast to caught it ..
“woah I widened my eyes at Sam, whose soft
smile hit me like a blow
“emmm, sire, ma’am mind if she stays with me
tonight”
Mrs Lewis smile melted, I stare up at her and
form my lips into a thin line
“am sorry ma’am ….. I…i..”
I stammered …
“common go right ahead” Mrs Lewis let out a
laugh
“we missed her but I can see she’s more
happier around you… ” Mr Lewis said
Sam eyed her parents a defensive glance
“mom, dad no, that’s not it…”
“just go with your man already, and no
pregnancy without marriage”
Mrs Lewis warned …
Mr Lewis and I let out a laugh , while I gave a
sideways glance at Sam who now sat with her
arms folded, defiantly staring at her mum like a
wolf who just met with its prey
“mom”
I could tell she felt so embarrassed with what
her mum had said
I stood to get the bag we brought along, which
was placed at the corner of the room
I glanced at my watch it’s 3’o clock. Pm.
Damn time is running by, the most important
thing first is to get Sam to safety..i know that
stupid man won’t be sending his address until
tomorrow guess I out smart him
I took Sam hand whose dazzling smile was
blooming on her face, I winked at her and turn
my gaze back to her parents
“we’ll be leaving sir , ma’am ”
“never not until I give my daughter a motherly
hug” Mrs Lewis smiled while she moved
towards sam
She rubbed a cycle against her shoulder
before pulling her close…
“take care dear ” her eye were filed with tears..
“I’ll mum ” Sam sniffled
She extended a steaming glance towards her
father outstretched arms, as she also took it
with longing heart ….
After the goodbye pleasantries
Sam mum offered to lead us out ,
as we now passed through the main hall.. I
could feel the hairs in my body rose at eager
stares of my colleagues, & the everly jealous
look on Cindy face…
“what ever” ..
Sam pov:
An hotel,
I was quick to see the logo …i send my glance
sideways at the now frowning Steve, who
pulled the car to slow and make a turn towards
the parking deck…
He noticed my stare and send his everly
tempting smile towards me….. His smile
melted my heart ,
God ,
I thought I have so many questions logging in
my heart to ask him but I couldn’t…
I realise I was all but silent all the while as he
led me in and moved towards the reception to
book a room,,..
I watched him and admire the way he stood,
his manliness, his hair cut, the way he carried
those bags as if it weigh next to nothing..
Thought he was taking me to his parents
house or something why here, I smile at the
corrupt thought in my mind and bit my lips…
My heart rose as he gestured me in, I stared at
the big empty bed with pang of emotions, pink
ties covered the floor, and those thick pillows
placed on the comforters made the sight look
so inviting and romantic…
I could only stare as he moved here and there
to drop our things….
right there I realise my feelings for Steve was
like a wire, a kind of string attached to my inner
cord
A stucked magnet whose force melt me in
every possible way ,,
I hate seeing him out of my sight even for just a
minute..
I moved towards the bed and stare back at him
he was only few feet away, his intense
protectiveness sending a tingle of awareness
and desire rip through me..
“I brought you to safety, Sam, I don’t want
your uncle anywhere near you”
He said as if reading my mind
I noticed his jaws tightened as I stepped
forward towards him.. He gasped when I
grabbed his shirt and inched him further..
I felt his heavy breath on my cheek with all
kinds of hunger that flares in his deep brown
eyes
“Sam ” he said softly
I tiptoed and dropped a kiss on his neck… A
smile curved his mouth as he trace a finger
along the edge of my face …he bit his lips
tucking my braids behind my ears.
My heart swelled with emotions as more need
tingled in me..
He moved round searching me s-ductively , my
heart rose as he trailed his strong hands from
my back down to my hips..
A sound escaped me when he hugged me from
behind, trailing hot kisses from my neck down
my back.. .
“Sam ”
He turn and stare back into my eyes…
“Sam we can always wait for this, maybe….
You know ”
“shhhh” I pressed my finger on his lips…
“am twenty six Steve, guess I don’t want to
wait anymore.. I want you,”
He closed his eyes as I reached down to his
zipper… My hands slide back to his shirt, with
a racing heart, I started unbuttoning each and
pulling them off right before gasping at his
biceps and packs ..i trailed kisses on them
stroking my hands on it, touching him,
he hanged up his head up and sighed…
Guess he couldn’t take it anymore…
He stopped me and lowered his head to fuse
his mouth to mine …
He deepened the kiss as he did nothing but
made love to my lips
He stood silently and stare at me for a moment
before pulling my blouse off….
“you are s*xy Sam”,
I blushed
“no i’m not Steve “….
His mouth parted as he tilted is head
sideways…
“you are, at least to me ”
My heart rose as he move closer
..
I slide his hands off and stepped back to the
wall glancing at him with love filled eyes..
I winked at him twisting my fingers with all
flushed face …
He smile and take a few step towards me..
He backed me and pressed me against the
wall ..
“steve” I call out to him
He unhooked my bra and trailed kisses down
my back, i sighed in contentment as his hands
slid to my bre**st…
He led me towards the bed and stand staring
at me while he took off his jean…
He lean to kiss me once more before he
excused himself…
“I’ll be right back babe ”
I nodded towards him and smile…
I hugged the blanket to myself and stared
sideways staring at the bathroom door
eagerly…
I suddenly hear a bing from his phone…
I grabbed it and stared wide mouth after
reading it… A message from Andrew …i frown
He came back staring at my face and the
phone in my hand…
“Sam give me my phone” he said taking it from
me, and glancing through it…
“so you are planning on keeping all this from
me steve” I said in an irritating tone
“no babe, just that……”
“just that what” I shouted
“so the bastard is planning to do all this, yet
you keep me in the dark… ” I cried
“babe listen” he closed his eyes, but I refuse
to shut up, I continue nagging and slapping
him with words…
“I can’t sleep here and watch you go to that
devils den,
you can’t just leave me here and go to your
death Steve,
I won’t forgive myself, I would rather die
instead,
I cried and continue slapping him with my fist…
I shuddered as he suddenly grabbed my arms
and pull me closer…
He supported me still with tears in my eyes he
pulled me closer and gently eased my hips
down in between his laps..
I felt his hardned privates against me as he
hugged me tight..
He kissed my back..
“sit right here and think of nothing but now
Sam”
He dropped my head to his shoulder and trail
caresses all over me while he whispered
more…
“think about now and nothing else.. We love
each other only that matters right,, . Your uncle
doesn’t exist, nothing existed but us Sam.. ”
I wanted to jerked him off but I can’t… I wanted
to cry at him not to go to my psycho uncle, but
I felt so weak,,
“am here, nothing is gonna take you away
from me… Okay ”
I nodded lustfully…
He kissed my ears and whispers through it…
“nothing is gonna take your man away from
you, ”
He pressed kisses down my arm
“nothing, not even death” he continued
He trailed kisses back to my neck
“think about the love we have for each other
babe, only that matters”
He nibbled on my ears, while I cry out his
name..
“am here with you sam, am always here, ”
He carried me gently towards the bed, and
crawl up on me….
He smile , staring at me for a moment before
bending to lock his lips with mine .. Surely his
trick worked perfectly ,
Cause as he gently made passionate love to
me all I could think of was nothing , nothing
else but him…..
