CHAPTER SEVENTEEN



Joel got home late in the night, he had gone over to Ebube's apartment right after his meeting with the detective. He met Melody seated in the sitting room watching TV, his heart started beating fast again, he placed his hand on his chest and muttered "You will soon be the end of me, how can you not know when to beat fast?" he sighed and just then, Melody looked towards his direction and smiled.



"Hey sir, you are back" she said shifting her gaze from the television.



"Yea, am back, why are you still up?" he asked sitting beside her on the sofa.



"I felt like seeing a movie actually and again, am not feeling sleepy yet" she replied.


"Like seriously? zee world? of all the channels here it was only this particular channel with zero percent acting that you chose" Joel rolled his eyes.



"What happened to it? i hear people talk about it often and sometimes, when i go to work, i partly see a little in people's house" she replied with a shrug.



"why would you wait till you go to people's house before you see it? don't you have a TV back at home?"



"Who has money for that one when i have an important problem i need to solve, i don't have TV jare" Melody chuckled.



"What do you work?" Joel asked raising his brows.


"I run errands for people, i do house chores and some minor outdoor chores and i get paid" she replied casually.


"I don't understand, is there any job like that" Joel asked looking at her even though her gaze were fixed on the TV.



"Yes, there is, but rich people like you don't know. There are other menial jobs aside that too" she laughed while turning to look at Joel.



"Don't you have a boyfriend, or a husband or a fiance? like do you have any man in your life" he asked daring her to say otherwise. she was too beautiful not to have any.



"I don't have any, if i do, i wouldn't be with you in this house" she smiled.


"But you are beautiful, are they not seeing you?"



"who would see or notice me? me that i don't even wear designers, i only make my hair when the holy spirit whispers to me" she chuckled looking back at the TV.



"Listen to me Melody" Joel said holding her hands "you are beautiful, you don't need designers and expensive hair to look attractive, the first time i saw you, i didn't see any designers but i saw your beauty from afar and any man that has eyes would still see the same thing too" he said looking directly into her eyes. They stared at each other in silence, their hearts beating fast and their heads got closer, their lips few inches apart, just then, Joel shook his head and let out a full breath.


"I need to go to bed now, i am tired" he said standing up.


"Okay sir" Melody replied, shame flashing across her cheeks.


"And get ready, we are going to get you new clothes and a new phone tomorrow" He said already climbing up the stairs.



"No problem at all" Melody said.



He got to his room and hit his chest, he didn't know what he was feeling, he nearly took advantage of that innocent girl, so he thought.

Re: Roses And Thorns by Adesina12: 11:19am On May 09, 2020
Damsel babe
Please answer this question.
Why the stalker put his brother in asylum?
Is it because of his farther property or because his brother knew about his secret with fair and plum ladies?
I can understand he wants his farther dead because of property.
Kindly unravel this soon.
Sweet popcorn for you

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

***********

Ezenwa clutched his school result close to his heart while Okenwa his brother showed his own result to their father who was all smiles. He watched with sadness as his father praised his younger brother because he took the first position as usual, Ezenwa made to leave when his father's baritone voice called him back.



"Come back here useless child, where are you going to? am sure you came last as usual, can't you borrow a leaf from your brother?" the man shouted.



"Am sorry Dad" Ezenwa said almost crying.


"Don't sorry me you dullard, i waste money on your education but yet, you don't want to learn anything, are you not tired of being a failure?" he barked.



"Dad, at least check my result this last time, i didn't take the last position as usual" Ezenwa said wiping his tears.



"Let me see" the old man said snatching the result from him, he opened it and scoffed "35 out of 40 students, is this the best you can offer?, your best is not enough young man" he howled.


"But Dad, i used to be the last, am trying my best, who knows? i might be among the first 20 by next term" Ezenwa said with a glint of happiness and hope evidently written on his face.



"And i said your best is not enough, you can never be like your brother, you will always remain a failure" he thundered chasing the young lad away from the parlour.







The stalker gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in anguish, he poured wine into a class cup and drank all of it.


"Who turned me into a beast?" he asked himself drowning another glass full of wine "You did dad, you have never treated me like a son, you dehumanized me everyday with your words, i tried my best but you always chose my brother over me" he stood up, went to the window, drag the curtain to the side and then grinned.


"And i am glad i killed you old man" he laughed out loud.
