EPISODE 186




"LETS GO LETS GO.... "Bobby said as Ted place the guns back on the bag....
Bobby walk up to the children who were shaking..... "Kiddy kiddy...., if anyone ask what happened here, say you don't know okay...... "

With tears the children nodded....

Bobby and Ted quickly put on their face cap and left the house......







*******************
Frustration tinge with anger, the DPO scan his eyes round the warehouse wondering the place the bullet could have come from...
He snort when he noticed the Zinc was open, he look ahead, scanning the buldings in sight......
He look at Chief Ayu dead body, another evidence has been shred to pieces....

Greatly infuriated, he kick the dirts on the floor....
He pants, the memory of what just happened making way back into his head....
He squeaked when he saw the blood flowing freely on the floor.....

"Can someone call the damn ambulance.... "He hollered









*******************
Exhausted, James crounched down from the chair and lie on the floor.....
He gasp for breathe, the hot passionate sex replayed in his head...., he raise his head as he saw her sat up....

He swallowed when he saw the ring in her finger, the realization of what he just pricked a heavy conscience into him.., but a part of him wasn't sorry he did what he did.., he craved for it and she did too.. He loves her...

Rita stood up from the chair, her eyes shift to his naked body lying on the floor.....,her heart was loaded with guilt..., the enormity of what they'd done lick through her, judging her,putting her person to question....., just then she realise she'd made a great mistake, a mistake that can never be forgiven....

She grunts,then began to dress up....

He stood up, her expression drove him into a wild feeling of guilt...,a stigma malefaction and blameworthiness......,he try to talk then he realise the stupidity of what he was about to say, there was no excuse for what they'd done... ,no extenuation can justify what had done.....

He exhales softly and quickly grab his shorts..., her face was pale.., woeful like it was all her fault.., like she can't do commitment....

He bit his lower lips, almost wince at the pain, what has he done..., she was engaged, engaged to his uncle..., he overstepped his boundaries this time., he should have stayed away, should have left her alone...., his mouth quivered as words try to force their way out.....

He swallowed and finally wore hIs short....."Rita.... "He muttered softly not sure what to say, how to vindicate his actions.. He pushed her, he shouldn't have kissed her again, it was his fault, he's the reason she broke commitment even before marriage.....

"Please, don't say anything... "She muttered.., Regret struck her, paralyzing her into solecism and self condemnation....,Reminding her how loose and unworthy she is....

"We need to talk about this......"James said with clenched teeth

She didn't reply, she just continue wearing her clothes..

"You need to tell him.... "James added gently..

She stopped dressing up, then she shift her gaze to him.... "Tell him what.., that we had sex... "

He squeaked, the reminder of what they just did forced him to slip.... "It wasn't our fault we had sex.... "He said crisply.., voice clipped

She sniff, then she swung her top over her shoulder, dragging it to her waist.... "You're right, it wasn't our fault we had sex, it was mine fault, i shouldn't have come here.... "

"Am not talking about that Rita and you know it, i love you and you love me too, you can't continue with this wedding, you'll only be hurting my uncle...

"I already did.... "She interjects.., her eyes dancing wet........ "I already hurt him even before he marries me.... "

"Please Rita, stop this wedding before it goes too far.... "

"Didn't you hear what your uncle said, the wedding is next week, how am i supposed to stop that....?

"You'll never be happy if you get married to him, you know that, please do this for you, do the right thing...








********************
"I can't believe this.... "Zuru said as they watch the news.....

"Who could have killed him...? Kahefa ask...

"They are not saying everything.. "Pious added... "Am very sure he wanted to tell the DPO something very important, something the rest of the chiefs don't want him to talk...., i knew Chief Ayu will react because of his shares that were sold, but i didn't know he can go to the police....... "

"I didn't know they were capable of killing one of their own.... "Kahefa said

"Isn't it a good thing that he's dead..... "Zuru said

Pious smile..... "Another one is down....."

"So it's just six left... "Giselle added.... "So what's the next plan....?

Pious crocked his throat.... "The campaign is two days away, election will pick up the next two weeks..., As it is now, Carlos will do anything to win that election.....

"Even though it means it means killing his competitor....? Zuru said

"Exactly uncle..., and his worthy competitor in this case is Chief Mayo......."He stood up from the chair.... "And with almost all the ways Carlos can make money blocked..., the bourgeoisie and bourgeois will be convinced he just want to be the chairman to climb back to the top...., with that thought, they will shift their support to the next best candidate which is chief Mayo...... "

"But i thought Chief mayo also agreed to sell a portion of his shares......"Giselle said

Pious gave her a smile... "Yes he did,but it was for a reason......"He nib his lips and continue.... "You see,i made chief Mayo understand the only way he could defeat chief Carlos was to deceive him...., so him selling the shares was just a way of making Carlos thinks he's on his side, Carlos won't see him coming..... "

"So how does this plan put another chief down...? Kahefa ask curiously...

Pious sat back on the chair..... "Carlos will realise he's loosing, for him to win, he will need to make Chief Mayo disappear.....

"And by disappear you mean.....

"Death..... "









**********************
Infuriated the DPO drop the pistol on the table, he stood up, then he slammed the wall with his palm....
What happened to the chief keep replaying in his head..., this was his chance of sending those demons to jail..., it would have been a good evidence to hold them....

He breathe heavily, he pick up the intercom and called Kess office...
The call connected after the second ring...
"I want you and Philip in my office now.... "He said and drop the call....

He grind his teeth, exasperation licking through him....

It wasn't long before Kess and Philip walked in...
They immediately saluted upon entering the DPO office....

The DPO curl his lips as the gunshot keep echoing in his head over and over....

"Who else than everyone here knew where the chief was meeting us....? The DPO ask

Kess and Philip glance at each other.....

"No-one sir.... "Kess said

"No-one...!, the DPO scoffs.... "That man was shot dead.. Another opportunity of putting those chiefs down went down the drain because someone told someone where the chief was meeting us....... "The DPO snort, he turn around then spun to face them again.... "We have a mole... ,someone in this station is helping the chiefs.... "

"I believe so sir.. "Philip said..... "That explains how anyone who shot Chief Ayu knew we were there....... "

The DPO brushed his hair with his palm.... "I want the two of you to watch carefully..., watch the others very well, i need that person caught..... "

"But sir, we know who could have killed the chief...."Kess said

"Of course we know..., the chiefs did it, but without evidence, we can do nothing...., what i need now is find who leaked that information to the chiefs......., we need to set a trap for the mole........."

"Trap..... "Philip said.... "What kind of trap sir.....?

"I will think of something.... "The DPO said... "But this information must remain between us, as it is now, you two are the only ones i trust..... "










*************************
Kess pace around in his office,before the dead of the chief, he was glad they were finally going to have something to pin the chiefs down.....

He wonder who the mole is, who could it be, who could be so close to the chiefs to leak such information....
He lean his hand on the table as he began to dig into the past........

---

THINKING BACK

Kess and Pious came rushing out of the bushes...

"Nooo"Pious shouted as he ran towards Peter....
"Who sent you to kill my father?Pious yelled...

Peter tried to utter a word but nothing but blood seems to come out, the pain was much... He thought of his grandmother as he breathe his last breath..... Just then he gave up the ghost...

"Why did you shoot him? Kess ask

"He shot at me, it was self defense..... "Philip said sarcastically

Kess watch as tears drip from Pious eyes...
"Now we will never know who sent him".....Kess added

---

PRESENT

Kess sat on the chair wondering the possibility of it... He has suspected him before.., could it be him...

---

THINKING BACK

He watch her as she begin to walk away, then she turn round to face him...

"Don't trust your partner"Sonia said

Kess sigh, now he knows she was completely insane, after wasting his time, she had the nerve to tell him who to trust and who not to... The truth is, besides his partner, he trusts no other person....

"And don't tell him am anonymous..."She added

"I tell my partner everything.... "He reply with gritted teeth...

"If you tell him, everything will be over, your partner works for the man am after"

---

PRESENT

He exhales,stood up from the chair again...., a gleen of sweat sheen down from his brow..., it was him.... Sonia warned him..

---

THINKING BACK

---

"We have evidence of his murderous act, we can show it to the inspector general"

"There is no evidence.... "Mr Ajayi interjects

"What, i gave it to you... "Kess said infuriated

"I have been searching for it since i arrived this morning, the evidence is gone..... "

"That can't be true"

Mr Ajayi exhales.... "As much as i don't want to believe it, its true, someone must have entered my office while i was not here"

"We both know you are the only one who have the keys to your office... "

"Are you accusing me of withholding evidence....?Mr Ajayi blared out

"No sir... "

"Look, i don't know how the person got in, but whoever it is, i assure you am going go find out

---

PRESENT

He walk to the window, everything was coming to light, it has been him all along.....

---

THINKING BACK

"That man was shot dead.. Another opportunity of putting those chiefs down went down the drain because someone told someone where the chief was meeting us....... "The DPO snort, he turn around then spun to face them again.... "We have a mole... ,someone in this station is helping the chiefs.... "

"I believe so sir.. "Philip said..... "That explains how anyone who shot Chief Ayu knew we were there....... "

The DPO brushed his hair with his palm.... "I want the two of you to watch carefully..., watch the others very well, i need that person caught..... "

"But sir, we know who could have killed the chief...."Kess said

"Of course we know..., the chiefs did it, but without evidence, we cant do nothing...., what i need now is find who leaked that information to the chiefs......., we need to set a trap for the mole........."

"Trap..... "Philip said.... "What kind of trap sir...?

---

PRESENT

He clenched his fist at the realization of it, he had always be there, he has always been the one saving the chiefs, putting the police effort to waste.... His partner is the f*cking mole......

EPISODE 185





HE TRIED TO STOP HIMSELF, PULL HIMSELF FROM THE KISS BUT HE COULDN'T, HIS BODY CRAVES FOR HER, HE WANTS HER, HE WANTS ALL OF HER...
He quickly carried her on the chair, his body pressing against her, he kiss her deeply, intense, passionately..., their lips deeply roving in each others mouth, each gasping and throbbing for breathe....

She moan and his bulge began coming to life.... He kissed her neck, her collarbone,louring down to her breast...

He quickly caught sight of the ring in her hand,he stopped but his body pushed him to continue but he knew he can't.. He fought his inner self and slowly rose up from her.......

"We Cant do this... "James said with pants breathe...

Rita breathe heavily, she adjusted herself... A raw feeling of embarrassment crushed her chest....

She quickly stood up from the chair, the gravity of what she has done slowly licking through her....

James brushed his hair with his hand, his eyes met hers.......he saw the desperation in her face..., he bit his lower lip, not sure if it was desperation or disappointment,or regret.....

"You are right..... "She sniff and grind her teeth.., her conscience began to pricked her, judging her in all corners...., her eyes shift to the ring in her hand..... "This was a mistake... "

Her lips dropped down, her eyes drenched with tears that refused to roll down.....
She was about to walk out when he held her hand....

"Hey.... "He muttered gently, not sure what to say.. He knew he needed her,wants her badly but wasn't sure if this was the right way to get her.. To finally have her.....
"Rita.... "He said gently as he heard her sob....

He walks to her front and she turn away her face, he saw the tears in her eyes and something shift in him......

A sudden rush of emotion, a fierce hunger for her wrecked his spines... He couldn't shake it off, couldn't stop it..., his erection slowly bulging back to life...., he pressed down all his buttons, damn every voice that was screaming at him not to touch her......

He lean close to kiss her and their lips fused in a damp collision. Denial crumbled to dust under the force of their mutual need. She whimpered into his open mouth while her hands skimmed over the tightly muscled form beneath his clinging shirt.

With a force, he kissed her again...

She relent, then she gave in.. The kiss was deep, sensual.. It electrified both of them....
He lifted her on the chair again....

When the kiss broke, it was only for their mutual need to breathe, but those eyes that had plagued her dreams these past few nights were scant inches away. He gazed back at her steadily while the light pulse of his breath grazed her lips. His hands slid across her ribcage until he was touching her breasts through the skimpy fabric of her shirt, the pads of his large thumbs brushing back and forth across the rigid points of her nipples.....

Her nipples grew harder and throbbed under the steady brush of his thumbs, yet there was still an air of hesitation in his touch.

His fingers never moved to push underneath her skirt, only serving to send that flame burning in her core higher than ever....

Rita felt her eyes water and her face flush with heat. She didn’t know whether to slap him or rip his clothes off.

He squeezed her nipples harder and her pu*sy flushed with agonising heat....

"James.... "She whimpered as he kissed more...

"Don't .. Don't say anything .... "He whisper in her mouth... His erection pressing against her....

She didn’t think it was possible to taste enough of his mouth or get enough of the feel of their tongues dancing between their parted lips.

His hands grasped at her hips, savouring the feel of her skin as they moved to clutch the shapely spheres of her ass. When she finally rid herself of her top, she reared upright, letting the stiff-pointed teacups of her naked breasts hover in his face....

A guttural moan rose from his throat as his hands slid from her ass to cup and squeeze her breasts. He lay back only long enough to unbutton his shirt before rising up to taste her breasts.

She could feel the painful strain of his d**k inside his shorts while he nuzzled her body with his face and hands, his tongue wetting her nipples....

Somehow, even trapped under the clamp of her thighs and p*ssy, the power of his desire was rattling the façade of her alleged control. His hands were strong, caressing her firmly, and the insistent press of his d**k through the gusset of her pant was causing her to soak through the fabric......







**********************
The DPO pace around,he quickly look at his time again....

"Are you sure he's coming....? Kess ask

"Could something have happened to him....? Philip ask quickly

The DPO exhales hoping it never comes to that.... "Are all the men in position..... ?he ask

"Yes sir.... "Kess replied

Just then a policeman ran in...
"The chief is here... "He said

The DPO sigh, a sigh of relief...

Shock swept through Philip, how could he have escaped Carlos men....., he turned around, pick up his phone and texted Carlos....

He quickly drop the phone in his pocket when chief Ayu began to walk in.....

Fear gripped him as he thought Chief Ayu might expose him, if he's exposed, his whole career is damned for good...

"Chief, i thought you weren't coming.... "The DPO said

"I had to plan how to get here, i entered a taxi here while my driver drives my jeep..... "...

"So sorry for the rough path you took to get here, may we proceed.... "The DPO said pointing a chair to him to sit....

Chief Ayu nib his lips as he saw the cameras.... "What's this DPO, are you going to film me...?

"We must take precautions, this is the only way the judge is going to grant you a court pardon, we must tape your confession..... "

"How do i know i can trust you DPO....?

"Am a man of my word chief, you can trust me..... "He glance at Kess who took out a document from a briefcase.......

Kess handed the document to the DPO who handed it to the chief......

"That's your freedom chief, it's just has to be signed by a judge and you'll be free, no jail term will be apply to you..... "

Chief Ayu scoffs... "You and i know the system don't work like that....., an ultimate freedom with a little punishment to atone for my crimes...."

"You are right chief, your court pardon is not totally absolute, you will get a week, two weeks perhaps in jail but it's better than twenty years..... ,so why don't we get on with this chief...... "

Chief Ayu quickly walked to the chair and sat down...

"The DPO turned the camera at him..... "Chief Ayu, can you tell us what happened to the late king five years ago?

Kess brought out his phone as it began to ring,he look at the caller,it was one of his colleaque at work....
He didn't want to pick but he thought the call might be important, with a snort he answered.......

"What....? He muttered after the caller told him what was going on....

"Sir...., There is another chief at the station... "Kess said

"The station...."The DPO resounded surprised..

"He said he wants to confess what happen five years ago.... "

"What....!Both the DPO and Chief Ayu boom out...

"No that can't be..... "Chief Ayu whimpered shocked...

"What's going on Chief....?the DPO quickly ask









*********************
Bobby quivered as he look down from the three storey building.......

Slowly, Ted knocked on the door....

It wasn't long before a little kid opened....

"Hello boy... "Ted said

Just then another little girl came out, a bit tall than the boy...

"Are your parents around...? Ted ask

"No, they went out, my brother and i are the only ones around.... "The girl said

Ted smile..... "Can you allow me do a little work in your house..... ?

"No sir, our parents told us never to allow strangers in our house..... "

"Well... This stranger has no choice but to come in.... "

Fear grip the children as they saw a gun stuck on Bobby's trouser as Bobby raised his shirt...

"You watch movies right....?Ted ask..

The children nodded...

"So you know what that thing can do to you... "

The children shook with fear, the boy gave way to tears...

Ted and Bobby quickly walked into the house....
Fear stricken, the children sat down on the chair,both quiet, scared to say anything....

Ted quickly cut the net of the window creating a hole...

Bobby unzipped the bag and brought out a sniper.... "Can you take a clear shot.....?

Ted study the warehouse....,a wry smile made its way to his lips when he saw the chief from a hole in the zinc.......

Bobby handed him the sniper...

Ted placed it on the window, carefully, he studied.., calculated the chiefs movements to and fro....
He pick up his phone as it began to ring.....

"What's the situation....? Chief Carlos disturbed voice came up...

"Target in sight..... "Ted said..... "It will be a clean shot.... "









*********************
"No,this can't be"Chief Ayu said..... "This must be their plan to stall us... "

"Sir, he said the chief is demanding to see you..... "Kess said

The DPO gritted and collected the phone from Kess......
"Tell the Chief am on my way.... "He said and drop the call........

"If this is a plan to lure us all out so all of you can do......

"Listen to me...."Chief Ayu cut in..... "They're just trying to stall us, the chiefs will never confess.... "

"Sir, i think we should go on with this..... "Kess said putting in consideration what Chief Ayu was saying...

The DPO swallowed..... "Alright then, stand in front of the camera and let's get to business...... "

Philip heart pounded as the chief stepped in front of the camera....his hands were tied, or he would have killed this bastard himself.....

"Tell us what happened to the late king five years ago...."The DPO said

Chief Ayu swallowed hard.... "Five years ago, the chiefs and i........

Just then a bullet hit his head, his blood splashed on the camera as he fell to tye ground.....

All the police quickly brought out their guns and began to look around..

The DPO rushed to Chief Ayu side.....

Chief Ayu pants, slowly his breathe began to fade..

"Who killed the king....? The DPO hollered...

He couldn't reply, couldn't breathe.. All source of life eluded him, just then he gave up the ghost.....

"Sh*t......"The DPO shouted frustrated as chief Ayu withered away.....

The DPO swerved....... "Search every corner of this building,every houses around, the shooter is somewhere around the premises... Go, all of you, i want the shooter found....... "

LOVE IN A CIRCLE
EPISODE 27




IT WAS 7:35pm when Mrs Lemuel changed into a pair of black trousers and a button down long-sleeved.. She tossed her her and flap it down on her left shoulder..

"You are not going there, are you...? Mr Lemuel ask anxiously

She didn't reply, she just focused on what she was doing...

Mr Lemuel snort... "Look honey, i know how determined you are to find our daughter, i know very well how important it is, but putting your life at risk is totally out of the question....

"Am going no matter what you say... "Mrs Lemuel snapped

"We don't even know the man that called you... "

"It wasn't a man, it was a woman's voice.... "

"You told me yourself, some people don't want us to find our daughter..."

"You didn't believe me...

Mr Lemuel sigh... "I believed you, but what you are doing now is a risk, it might be a trap... "

"This might be the only link in finding my daughter, don't even try talking me out of it.....

Mr Lemuel snort, he didn't know why his wife was this adamant.....,he scrubbed his bear with his finger tip...."Alright, i will go with you... "









*******************
Noah kept reading the words on the piece of paper.... 'STAY AWAY FROM HER, I WON'T WARN YOU AGAIN.. '
The thought of Shayna been the her in the words was what troubled...

"Who could it be..? He muttered to himself

He wasn't the kind of guy who hangs out with girls alot, he thought of Tessy of been the her but he wasn't interested in her, why won't someone sent him a warning because of her

He remenbered what Leonard had said earlier, Tessy could have a Jealous boyfriend who was capable of killing for her but there was also a possibility the threatening letters were from Mike, but why would Mike warned him to leave Shayna alone...?

"Oh my God...! He muttered....

Shayna must have told him about them, Mike must have suspected he had something going on with Shayna, that was the only explanation for the threat, if Mike is responsible, Shayna deserve to know the truth, she must avoid that monster by all means........








*******************
Tessy sat on the edge of her bed, she kept smiling, thinking about Noah, now she has found love, she hasn't been able to sleep a wink, she kept thinking about him...

She raised her head to the door when her sister came in and sat beside her....

"What is happening to you....? Her sister ask

"It's nothing... "She said smiling

"I know that smile, who's the reason for it?

Tessy chulkled.... "I think am in love"

"With your boyfriend...?

Tessy frown... "No, with someone else, My boyfriend and i are over.. "

"Tessy, what happened..?

She swallowed..., Frustration spiked her heart.... "i don't want to talk about it..."

Her sister grin... "This new guy you talk about, do you really love him... "

A wry smile made it's way to her lips.... The thought of him pricked a joy she can't explain into her... "I keep thinking about him, i have never thought about any guy like that... "

"Be careful okay, it might just be an infatuation.., so don't be over excited....., does the guy know...?

She knit her brows and bit her lower lip... "No, he doesn't know yet, but i intend on telling him.. "

"Hey, no, that will be cheap of you, you wait a little longer..... "

She nodded..

Her sister stood up from the bed and left her...









*******************
It was 7:55pm when Mr and Mrs Lemuel got to the cementary...
Mrs Lemuel shivered as strange sounds started whispering in the air.....

"Of all places, why would she choose a cementary for a rendezvous.... "Mr Lemuel said abruptly

"I have no idea, maybe it was the best suitable place to tell us about our daughter..."

Mr Lemuel grunts... "Whatever it is that she wants to tell is, it can always be discussed in other places other than a queue of graveyards... "

Mrs Lemuel look around to see if anyone was in sight, but she saw no-one...

Mr Lemuel glance at his watch, it was 8:03......"For the love of God, where the hell is she...?

"You need to calm down... "Mrs Lemuel said..

"I just hope we did the right thing by coming here.... "
"I have this feeling she'll be here soon, lets just wait a little longer... "

Mr Lemuel squeaked.... "When i get tired of waiting, we're going home... "









*******************
Mrs Lemuel shook with fear as she felt someone finger on her left shoulder..

Heart pounding, she quickly spun round...

"Hello Mrs Lemuel... "Miss Jones said

Mrs Lemuel stood doubfounded as she stare at her, with shaking mouth, she said... "You are that woman....

Mr Lemuel cut in.. "You are the one we gave our daughter to...... "

"You died... "Mrs Lemuel muttered, shocked

"No, i didn't die in that car accident, they tried to kill me but i survived..... "

"Who has my daughter... "Mrs Lemuel ask curiously

"Your daughter was the reason they tried to kill me... "

"What are you talking about, who tried to kill you...? Mr Lemuel ask anxiously

"That witch who adopted her, she tried to kill me yesterday too..... "

"Why would she want to kill you....? Mrs Lemuel ask

"Because her husband thought she gave birth to her, to keep it a secret,she eliminated everything that will serve as evidence that she was adopted ...."

"Where is she now, who are the couple who adopted her...?

Just then, a gunshot sounded and they fell to the ground.....

Miss Jones fell to the floor as the bullet hit her stomach... She grimace and wince in the pains, blood gushing out...

Mrs Lemuel quickly stood up and rushed to her side..... "Oh my God, we need to take her to the hospital.... "

Miss Jones gasp for breathe.. "Look, there is no time... "She said as she cought out blood

"Tell us where she is....? Mr Lemuel said shapily

Miss Jones gasped... "You must get Leticia o.. u... t..."She swallowed, slowly fading away... "Out of that house, that witch will rip her apart... "

"Where is she...? Mrs Lemuel blared out

Miss Jones breathe heavily,slowly,her breathe began to become faint...."Sheee.. shee is in.... "She cough again, the bullet took control, her body couldn't take it anymore ,her breathe stopped...., she wanted to talk, tell them but it was too late..... Just then she gave up the ghost....

"No, don't die, where is my daughter.... "Mrs Lemuel screamed.....







********************
Leonard hurriedly stood up from the bed as he heard the persistent banging on the door, he quickly ran out of his room to the parlour...

"Dad, is that you on the door...? He ask crisply but no reply came...

Slowly, he drew closer to the door.... "Dad.., Mum.. "

Fear grip him,his heart racing at tremendous speed as the glass window broke and and it's pieces fell on the floor.....

He looked out from the window, he shudder when he saw someone standing by the window...

The man by the window points his right hand at him, with a baritone voice, he countered.... "YOU ARE NEXT... "

Jacob quickly knew the way they went as Jock sniff his nose in the area.....









*******************
QETSIYAH came awake slowly, surfacing from some dark and terrible dream....
Faint, gray light filtered into her field of vision, she turned her head slowly, she was covered by an unzipped sleeping bag...

Panic lick through her as she try to push herself into the sitting position on the front seat of the jeep..
The nightmare was real.. She held dead still, trying to orient herself, recall the sequence of events that has brought her here.. But her arm hurt and her brain was fuzzy...

Carefully she moved her head, neck stiff, she realise she was alone in the jeep, rain had stopped, the jeep was parked under a canopy of tall trees....

"Oh God... "She muttered

She inhaled deeply, spun round sharply, she saw him in tge shadows, silent, rifle cradled in his hand, he was watching her, his pale eyes slits against darkly tanned skin, his features hard in the cruel light if dawn...

"How are you feeling?he ask.. His voice hard..

She tossed back a tangled of knotted hair back off her forehead ..."Terrible, thanks"

She disentangled herself from the sleeping bag as he trot towards the jeep..

"Do you need to streched your legs or can you wait....?

She took his question as euphemism for bathroom break.... "I can wait"

"Good, because we need to keep moving, i have already let you sleep too long"

He climbed into the jeep beside her and the weight of the vehicle shifted.... He started the ignition and the diesel engine purred to life

She glanced at him, his mouth was powerful, wide, well defined lips. Her gaze lowered to his strong neck muscles that flared into broad shoulders.... His hands were firm, big, strong and dangerously rough and hard...

"Why a lion? She ask after much silence

"What...? He said looking at her

"Your tattoo.. "

He snort... "My African name...., Tautona, that's what the locals call me, it means old lion... "

"Why an old lion?

A wry smile twisted over his lips... "Guess they figured I'm like those scarred old males that have been ousted from their pride and live alone on the fringes of the veldt, have to hunt all by themselves, no female to do the job for them"

"Is it true?

He shot her a glance but said nothing

"Where are we going...?

"First west, then north, then southwest"

"I mean what is the plan, our destination, how long is it going to take?

He inhaled as if irritated by having to explain things...

"Look it might help to share the plan"She said.. "I helped you back at the river remenber?,you might need me again, we made a good team lastnight"

When he didn't dignify her with a reply, she lowered her voice and said irritably.... "Brad... "

"I want as much distance between us and the Tsholo okay...? Then we'll cut into the bush and make for a safe place and we call your brother... However if we reach the plateau tonight and there is no sign of thel following us, we might stop and rest for the night at an old airstrip i know, then we move again at first light"

"How will we know if they're following....?

"We should be able to get a good view of the land from up the plateau... "he said as he open the cooler with his other hand and pick out an apple..

"Breakfast"He said dumping the apple on her lap... "I will make you tea soon"

"Tea...!, how?

"Found a gas burner and kettle in the back with the shovel.... "

She positioned the water bottle between her knees and unscrew the cap with her hand.. "I'm impressed that you got all this stuff"She said raising the water bottle to her lips... "We could go for days"

"Hope not"He said crisply

She paused.... "Me too, i was just.....

"Eat... "He cut in brusquely.... "Drink..

Qetsiyah glared at him, she wasn't accustomed to being ordered around, her brothers tried but she fought them every step of the way..it had been become a reflex, her life was dominated by too many alpha men trying to push her around for her own damn good .....

"You really should eat... "He said gently this time..

"I will, when am hungry.. "

He was about to argue but stopped himself, a whisper of another wry smile ghosting his lips...

"Keep your arm inside the jeep"He ordered as one of the trees branches scraped down the side of the jeep... "Those thorns will shred skin to ribbons"

Qetsiyah removed her elbow from where she'd been resting it on the door......

"You didn't say when we were actually going after we get up to the plateau... "She said wiping sweat from her brow

"A safe house.. "He replied with clenched teeth

"Like where?

"Like you don't need to worry about it"

Exasperation flushed through her... "Anyone ever tell you, you were short on both words and manners..?

"Get down.. "He swerved as a branch whipped inside the jeep

Confused Qetsiyah flung herself on his lap..

He grinned as she looked up at him in shock..

"You did that on purpose.... "She snapped as she shoved herself into a sitting position...... "

She puff... "I know what you're doing Brat, you're being a cantankerous boor to keep me all walked up, you think if am angry, i will focus on survival and won't wimp on you.. "

"If you've shown me one thing princess, is that you don't do wimpy"

She glowered at him.. "Is that a compliment or insult...?

"Pick one... "

She curl her lip and turn her face away...

"It's just a fact... "He said with a chuckle.... "And you got that right, am a boer... "

She shift her gaze back to him... "I said boor not boer.. "
She quickly grabbed the bottle of water and took a swig..

Abruptly she felt the jeep slow, then stop, she swung round in the seat instantly worried

"Look, over there... "He said pointing into the distance..

About a hundred yards away,as if materializing from the interplay of shadow and light in the trees, two giraffes stood side by side, looping their necks around each other.....

Brad quickly cut the engine.... "Two males..."He said... "You can tell by the lack of hair on top of their horns, they rub them smooth by fighting and see over there..."He pointed and Qetsiyah was concious of the golden hairs on his strong tanned forearm....

"In the trees to the right, that's the female they are fighting over.. "Brad added

"That's fighting... ?she ask with gritted teeth

He nodded

They watch for a few seconds as the giraffes fight..
After much watch, Brad kick the engine back to life...
"You okay... "He ask..

She bit her lip, then nodded









*******************
They passed through an area of tall trees Where baboons swung, limb to limb on the canopy above them, the animals stopped to watch and stared as they drove under the branches....

"Do you think they've found our tracks on the Zimbabwe side yet? She ask

"Yup, but they will be held by the river a day or two.. "

Qetsiyah exhales as she remenber his words... "What did you mean Brad, about a vow never to kill again....?

"It's nothing?

"It's not noth...

"It's not your business okay... "He interjects, his voice clipped... "Don't worry about it"

"I was just wonder......

"Forget it Persia, i just said it to drive home a point, to get your mind back on track.... "

Irritation spiked through her.... "It's got everything to do with me... "She snapped... "You said as much yourself that rescuing me forced you to kill a man back there at the lodge, you said i made you break a vow not to kill another man, did you kill a woman Brad, what woman...?

A cold hard feeling wreck his chin..

Just then Qetsiyah knew she'd hit the point.. He killed a woman.., part of her screamed at her to drop the subject but she couldn't

"Who was she Brad, what happened ten years ago...?

"Persia... "He said quietly... "Am not looking to make friends, nor tell my life story, my mission is to get you to a safe place, call your brother and he will come fetch you...or sent someone... "

"So am just a package to be picked up and dropped off...?

"Yes... "He said, then as if he couldn't stop himself either, he said... "And then you can be nicely handed to king Haram... "

"Haroun.. "

"Whatever... "

She glared at him, her blood began to boil... "Where do you know my brother from anyway?

"I told you, Ayura and i used to work together... "

"You said you owe him....., why?

Brad gave her a hard look... "I told you already, Ayura saved my life so lets drop it"

"How did he save your life, what happened...?

"Look princess, save your energy, because you're going to need it, this is not a social trip, you don't need to know me and i don't need to know you, let's just get this over with...

She swallowed, repressing the urge to punch him..

He swerved sharply as the jeep cut too close to a tree and the branches raked down the side of the vehicle, slapping inside...

Qetsiyah ducked back but she wasn't fast, a thorn from the branches ripped through her sleeve, splitting open her skin... Blood welled, her eyes burned with pains and frustration

"I told you to keep your hands in... "He snapped

"I did, you're doing this on purpose, you're a pig"

"Yup... "He scurred

"What happened....? She ask again

He huffs, irritated.... "What happened in my past is non of your goddamn business, i dont know what you hope to achieve by pressing me like this... "

"Am pressing because i want to know what happened to the nice guy who rescued me, the guy who fixed my arm and helped me through the darkest hours of dawn, who.... "Her voice cracked... "Who kept my morale up... Who.... Who... Kissed me... "

"You want to know why i kissed you Persia....? He raved, exasperation in his voice.... "Is that what this is all about....?, Fine i will tell you..., I'm a red blooded male, that's why.... And you looked pretty damn hot in that body hugging cocktail gown, i carried you on my back and it felt good.., it gave me an itch i needed to scratch... "

"Damn you.. "She spat at him..

"You did a bloody good job of kissing me back"He countered crisply

Her cheeks were hot, a fire burning inside her stomach, embarrassment twisting through her chest....

"Why did you do that Mmm?Brad added

As Qetsiyah opened her mouth, she realised the stupidity of what she was about to say, that she kissed him because he what....?,had awakened something in her..?, lust..?or that he was sexy..rough, hard in all corners and she only wanted to know how he taste.. How his hard body will look like...

She inhaled deeply scrubbed her hand over her face... ..."I must have had an itch of my own.... "She said when no other words came out

"Touche.... "He said.... "Next time save your itch for your fiance.... "

With a huff and a heart full of curiousity,he placed his hands on his pocket...
His mind quickly brood over the first day he met her.. She was so beautiful, one of the most beautiful women he has seen in his life...
He recall how he has thought of her often from that day on...

He exhales and wave the thought away, she was a woman he cannot get.. She was wounded and he felt great pity for her but his act of pity is creating something else in him.. Something intense, something that keeps pushing his buttons......

He lean his body on the car as he look at both side of the road, just then he saw someone....a girl wearing a jacket hood on her face....
He recognized her when she got closer and it sent those feelings back into him...

He swallowed trying to wave the thoughts away but they were still there, not ready to leave, screaming at him to take her out.. Take her to dinner on a date....
He bit his lower lip, almost hard that he wince...

She removed the jacket hood from her head when she got closer to him...

A smile force itself on it's face, he look at her face, she was more beautiful now, those ugly scars on her forehead and face has been covered by makeup....

"I thought you weren't going to come... "Sonia said

"It's my duty as a police..., people call and we answer.... "

She scoffs at his remark.... "How are you...?

"Never been better.... "He said with clenched teeth, then he fold his hands across his chest..... "I didn't know you were still here, i thought you left for the city...?

She grunts..."Actually i did..., But then we came back,The queen's husband brother said he has somethings to take from the palace so i tagged along... "

"As an escort.....?

She squeaked, her suffering etched on her face.... "I wanted to see you...."She said softly...

A raw feeling rushed down him, for a second, he just stood staring at her.., he sprang back to reality when she turn her face away....."Am so glad to see you again, how have you been coping with everything.... "

She scrached her elbow... "Fine, I've been doing fine... "She said nervously....

He wanted to reach for her hands and hold her, tell her everything is going to be okay, tell her the chief who destroyed her life will soon be brought to justice....... "You said you wanted to see me, here i am...."He chulkled...

She scoffs.... "Yes it was so nice seeing you again, but i need to go now, can i get your card or something, i will like to reach you when the going gets tough..... "

"When the going gets tough..... "He resounded, greatly astounded by her words....

"Yeah... Just a saying people say... "

He smile,open the car door and brought out his office card... Without hesitation, he handed it to her....

"Well thanks for this,atleast you're still my friend right.... "

"Yes... "He shrugged... "Of course anytime... "

"Call you anytime...?

"Yeah, am a police am always on something...... "

She chuckled.... "Alright inspector, i sincerely think it's time for me to go.... "

"Why don't i drop you off...

Rose quickly open the fridge and took out a cold water, she sat back on the dinning chair and gulp down the water.....
She exhales as she began to recall Jacob's conversation with his father, a conversation she had eavesdropped on.....

She was curious, her body keeps pinching her to find out what happened five years ago.. What really happened to the late king, how is Jacob and his father all connected to it....
She sigh when a knock came on the door, she wonder if Jacob was back so soon so they could continue abusing theirselves...

The knock came again, irritated she stood up from the chair and walk towards the door....
Slowly, she bend down the door knob.. She poke her eyes when she saw who was standing at the door, the same bitch she had seem with Jacob the day she arrived....

"Back so soon.... ?She ask walking away from the door daring her to come in...

Frown lines encroached on Bianca forehead, she wasn't expecting to see her here.....
She was inclined to walk out but on second thought it will just be a waste if time.....
With a change of heart she walked into the house....

Rose ate a spoonful of her food then she trot towards her......
"So bitch, how long have my husband been going out with you...?

Bianca furrowed her brows.... "Who are you...?

Rose rolled her eyes.... "Didn't he tell you.....?

Bianca curl her lips but didn't reply....

"Al his wife.. Rose... "

Bianca scoffs..."Come-on, everyone knows his wife died at the wedding.... "

"Well, so unfortunate that was the bitch that wanted to steal him from me... "

Bianca sigh.... "Is he in...?

"You mean my husband....?

"I mean Jacob.... "

Rose grunts.... "Let me give you a piece of advice, never allow the wife of the man you are screwing knows you are screwing him... "

"Am not screwing him.... "

"Really.... "Rose said walking to the chair.... "What are you doing then, sucking his d**k and milking everything in your mouth..... "

Bianca bit her lips.... "Is he in....?

"My husband is not in, bitch..... "

Bianca swallowed.... "Look here, i don't know who you are but i have my limit, don't call me a bitch again... "

"What do you prefer i call you then,a slut, a LovePeddler or perhaps my husband c**k sucker..., trust me he loves it when his c**k is been sucked.... "

Infuriated, Bianca spun round to walk away...

"A piece of advice bitch...... "

She stopped when Rose voice came up again...

"The first bitch that came between us fell down from a stair balcony without anyone pushing her, no one knows what may happen to the next bitch,who knows maybe, her tongue will be root out, or perhaps her legs will be cut off... Or perhaps... She might just end up like the first one.. So pathetic, dying with regrets....

"Are you threatening me...? Bianca retorted

"Threats..... "She scoffs..... "Am beyond making threats dear, am just telling you your fate so if i were you, i will keeps my toes where it wouldn't get burned... "

Without further word, Bianca walk out of the house and slammed the door hard....

FRANCIS STOOD STILL, CARLOS WORDS ECHOING IN HIS HEAD....

"Poison.....!.. Zara muttered shocked...

Francis heart pounded, almost bursting out of his chest, he didn't poison the juice but he wished he did...

"Am just joking boy...."Carlos said.... "Drop the juice on the table.... "

With shaking hands, Francis drop the tray..., he spun round to walk back when Carlos voice came up again...

"One minute..... "

Francis heart raced at tremendous speed, the enormity of his rage began to raced through every part of him......, slowly he began to turn round to face him......

"You look nervous, is anything the matter......? Carlos ask

Francis curled his lips.... "No chief....... "

For a moment, Carlos just sat staring at him..... "Has anyone told you,you look exactly like the late king son.....?

"Many times chief..... "Francis whimpered lowering his head....

"If it wasn't for the fact that he was an accomplice in his own father's murder, i would have said you are him..... "

Slowly, Francis began to fold his fist..., eyes sparkling anger, great vexation slowly shutting out his positive thinking.. Allowing his anger to take control, pushing him to latched out and he was about doing that, about telling him he's the bastard who killed his father but the ringtone of his phone stopped him......

Carlos pick up his phone from the table, he stare at the caller, it was hus factory manager...., with a glance at Francis, he answered the call.....

"Apollo, you are calling at a bad time.... "He said

There was silence at the other end,then there came screams, people shouting fire...

"What's happening Apollo...?

"Chief, everything is destroyed... "The trembling voice of Apollo sounded..

"What do you mean everything is destroyed....? Carlos ask anxiously

"The factory, everything is burning..... "

"What......? Carlos snarled and quickly stood up.... "How did it happen.., who started the fire....?

"We have no idea chief, everyone was busy, before we knew it, fire was coming out from the safe house..., all the money we kept there, everything is destroyed..... The fire spread wide, we couldn't save any money...

Infuriated Carlos drop the call...., he groan, his eyes fixated on Francis...

"Chief, what is it..., what happened....? Zara ask..

Not choosing to reply, Carlos walk out of the garden, Zara quickly ran after him.....

Francis just stood as he watch him leave, just then a wry smile made it's way to his face.....

"Why are you smiling?Gerald who was still there ask....

Francis curl his lip...

Fear stricked Gerald, without hesitation, he ran after his mother...

Francis sat down, pour the juice on the glass and took a swig....








********************
Her soft moans ignited him further and the next moment he was completely buried inside her, surrounded by her moist heat. He looked down, watching, hypnotized by the beauty of seeing my thick d**k moving in and out, repeatedly disappearing into his wife. It was the perfect vantage point to see her plump breasts bounce with ever thrust, her engorged clitoris throbbing with arousal.

He hitched his thumb under her right knee and pushed her leg back and sank in even further. Pleasure radiated throughout his body from the hot, tight flesh encompassing his d**k.

He grasped her curvy ass and with a wild ferocity, flipped her onto her side. He looked down at her round ass, the full, firm flesh, and pressed his d**k down between her cheeks.

She responded by pushing back with her hips, raising them up so he had perfect access.

Once again, he thrust his d**k into her with a low growl. This time her flesh resisted only momentarily before giving way completely. He buried himself to the hilt inside her wet heat. Their flesh slid against one another, hot and slick with sweat. Her softness surrendered to his unyielding hardness. He almost couldn’t breath for the pleasure...

He turned her over onto her belly, pulled her hips upward and sank back into her from behind. He watched as he withdrew his d*ck, the juices so thick and wet he was riveted by the evidence of her heavy arousal. Knowing how turned on she was for him encouraged him further and he plunged into her, ravenous and greedy, filling her from root to tip...

Their animal smell scented the air around them, a thick, pungent aroma of sex. He could feel she was stretched as far as possible, almost too far, so perfectly tight. He drove his d**k in and out, unable to stop myself from pushing her to the limit, to take as much as he could, as hard as he could. Her mouth was open and her breathing was rapid, moans erupting from every thrust...

“Oh, God,” she whispered through ragged breaths. “I’m so close.”

He was wild with the knowledge that he could do this to her, impact such an unabashedly sensual woman. The friction of her sex was heightened by the tilt of her ass and when her hips began to undulate, her core clenching, he knew she was close to coming. He pounded his raging d**k into her harder and faster, grasping her shoulders and the nape of her neck to immobilize her, her hips bucking. She shrieked as the climax shuddered through her body from head to toe...
Tension built, deep at his core and coiled up, arousal mounting inside until finally, without warning, hus climax charged up and he lost all control...

“Ahh, f*ck!” he cursed. With a guttural moan his orgasm tore through him, and savagery took over. His hips jerked wildly as my d**k exploded, and he spurted hot and hard inside her, angling her hips and sinking even deeper so his pulsing d**k filled her with cum....

Spent and exhausted , he collapsed onto his side, his body quivering in aftershocks, his mouth dry as he tried to catch his breath. She reached around and cupped his face, smiling her sexy, just-for-him smile....

Still buried deep inside his wife, he leaned down to kiss her. “I love you.

“I love you too.”









*********************
THREE DAYS LATER....



Mr Gallagher quickly drop the documents on the table...... "That's the sales of 45% of the company shares..... "

"45%....."Zuru said shocked... "How is that even possible....?

Pious scoffs.... "Carlos needed the money..., after my men burnt down the factory,he needed money for the campaign...,he knew the factory will take time to rose back from ashes...... "

"But he could have possibly gotten money from his other businesses.... "Kahefa interjects...

"I've cut out all his patronizers...., they now patronize his competitors,every channel and blog advertising his business will soon cease to stop.... He needs money for the upcoming election, selling a portion of everyone's shares was his only resort... "

"I heard he promised to return every single penny once he's elected chairman of the elite party and they still believes i will invest the shares in the company....."Mr Gallagher said

"I thought one of them objected to the idea of selling..... "Zuru said

"You mean chief Ayu.....? Pious ask...... "It's so unfortunate that Carlos sold out a portion of his, even without his consent, i heard he posses every certificate attached to each shares in the company...."

"So with this certificate, he can sell them at anytime.....? Giselle ask

"Yes.... "Pious replied.... "Our spy has also told me the DPO has visited chief Ayu often for the past three days, am very sure he's offering a judge pardon, now the question is, how will Chief Ayu react to this,will he rat out his friends anf partners in crime....?








********************
Carlos pace around wondering what could be happening......
Carlos spun round to face the other chiefs who were sitting except Mayo who wasn't there ..

"Everything is happening so fast... "Chief Buzo said...... "What could possibly be going on... ?

"The campaign is in two days, why is this happening now...? Chief Marcus said

"Who could be cutting off our patronizers....? Chief Azuka said

"I suspect it's the works of the other contestants...., they will do anything to be chairman..... "Chief Joseph said

"Relax....."Carlos said... "this is just a temporary situation.., very soon all this mess will be over, sometimes business go bad, sometimes it goes right.. Sometimes it overflows.... "

"We just sold 45% of the company shares..., something isn't right..... "Chief Joseph said

"How do we even know Mr Gallagher will invest in the company..... "

"Mr Gallagher gave us his word, he will surely invest.... "Chief Buzo said

"What do we do when he doesn't......? Chief Azuka queried

"We will get them back at the stock market.... "

"Carlos.... "Mr Ayu raved from the door....

"Ayu.... "Carlos muttered

"What is the meaning of this....? Chief Ayu latched out..... "I made it very clear i don't want to sell, how dare you give my shares out without my consent...... "

"Relax Ayu, lets talk this out like gentlemen...... "

"There is nothing to talk out, i want my shares back....."

"It was just a portion of it.... "Chief Buzo interjects....

"A portion...!, i made it very clear i don't want to sell, just because he holds a damn certificate doesn't give him the right to sell my shares without my consent..... "

"You are getting angry Chief Ayu...., sit down lets sort this out... "Carlos said

"Odumodu was right, You'll destroyed all of us.., that's why you have your son's signature in all the files, you plan on voting us all out oneday...."

The rest of the chiefs shift their gaze towards him...

"Why are you sounding so ungrateful Chief Ayu, don't you remember how you got here, you are wealthy today all thanks to me..... "

Chief Ayu glared at him.... "So that's what this is all about, because you played some dirty tricks to get me here...... Well for your information, those dirty ticks, you,i and the rest of us played are about to suffice if i don't get back my shares in six hours...... "

"What do you mean they are about to suffice....? Chief Joseph ask anxiously....

"All of you are blinded, Carlos is going to destroy us, if you're wise, i suggest you start revolting before he completely wreck you all For his own benefits...."

"That's enough Ayu.... "Carlos interjects....."I won't allow you say nonsense in my house, as for your portion of shares, you will get them back soon"

"I don't have time to wait Carlos, as you may have noticed, am very bad when it comes to be patient.....my instructions were clear, my shares shouldn't be sold but you went ahead because you think you're undefeatable......"He scoffs..... "You've been lying to us all, you chained the queen for five years without deeming it fit to tell any of us.... "

"Is that your problem......?

"No that isn't my problem......, get back my shares within six hours else i will go to the police and i will say everything we did five years ago..... "

Shock the chiefs turn their attention to him.....

"You won't do that.... "Chief Azuka retorted...

"The police.... "Carlos said... "What did they promise you, a pardon order by the court... "He scoffs... "Come-on Ayu,you are smarter than that... "

"I don't care what you say Carlos, it's my decision and considering everything you've done, i bet you'll rot in jail...., my six hours still stand..., get me my shares else i will start talking and we'll all go down...... "

He glared at them and left them.....

"Did him just threatened us.... "Chief Joseph said

Carlos sniff..... "Ayu is going mad,when a mad person starts talking, he is designed to spout nonsense......."

"We can't get back his shares,Mr Gallagher will sue us.... And we can't let Ayu talk to the police either..... "Chief Marcus said

"Do you people actually believe Ayu will do such a thing, he's just pushing us, he will do nothing.... "Chief Buzo said"

"I believe one thing"Carlos said.... "Where there is smoke, there is fire....... "

DEAD TRAP
EPISODE 12



QETSIYAH WATCH AS HE DROP THE FIRST-AID KIT BACK ON THE TRUCK....
"Did you work with Ayura, with the force du sable?she ask

"You need to eat something"Brad said ignoring her question.... "I've got some tinned food, biltong, apples...."

She glaned at the tinned food when he brought it from the cooler.... "You said you had apples... "

He frown, then handed her a green apple

"Thanks... "She said and took a bite....

"You need something more substantial than that... "He said reaching up to click off his headlamp...

She didn't reply, she just chewed, focusing on making the apple go down..

He watched her intently then his gaze slid back down to the diamond ring poking out of her splint...... "Who's the guy? He ask curiously even when his guts told him not to....

Qetsiyah swallowed her mouthful of apple, he was probably thinking about the fact she'd kissed him back while she was promised to another man...
"Sheik Haroun Hassan of Sa'ud"She said

His eyes flashed up to hers...."The kingdom of Sa'ud?

"Yes... "

His jaw tightened and he lean back into the drivers seat facing the front, he stared at the churning river....

"You have an issue with the kingdom of Sa'ud?she ask quietly, watching his profile, the tension of his hands....

"I know the house of Sa'ud is stinking oil rich"His words were abrupt and he didn't look at her when he spoke...., he snort and continue... "I also know the Sa'ud royal family is fiercely traditional and that the old king is not expected to live long, it's creating some uncertainty in the Middle East"

She nodded... "Haroun is his only son, he'll be king soon"

"And then you will be queen... "He cut in with nibbed lip, his tone spiced with distaste

"And you disapprove....? She snapped

He didn't reply, he gave a snort instead

"Brad..., what is it?

He puff.... "Two years ago.. "He said quietly.. "There was a big to-do in the news about a sheik from the house of Sa'ud, he was accuse of having his fiancee murdered while she was visiting Dubai, the king use his influence, made the charges go away... "

She swallowed, the apple sticking in her craw.... "Yes... "She said quietly... "The sheik was.... Is.. a very distant cousin of Haroun,the Dubai incident had nothing to do with Haroun.... "

"She was killed by two Egyptians,it was a robbery gone wrong in her hotel room, the Egyptians were caught, the BBC claimed the Egyptians were hitmen"

"There was no proof, no evidence, no...

"There were rumors the hit men were hired after the Sa'ud sheik found out his fiancee was cheating on him, that it was an honor killing, because she was unfaithful, tainted goods... "

A chill sunk into Qetsiyah, she held the half eaten apple on her lap, her own insecurities about the case welling inside her.....
"Do you believe everything you read? She ask

"I believe in this case, where there is smoke, there is fire.. "

"The truth is not always what it seems at first blush, you know, this guy, Haroun's cousin was prejudiced because of his culture, because he's a wealthy oil sheik... "

"Is that what you think this is..., Prejudice?

"Yes i do..., just like you prejudiced me for been royalty.. "

He gave her a hard look, a muscle working along his jaw....

Qetsiyah pushed a fall of hair off her brow, self conscious now, she realised her hair was thick with mud and she was too damn tired to argue or explain anything or even think about how Haroun had sidestepped the issue when she'd tried to discuss the case with him last year...

"So when is the wedding....? Brad ask

She looked away, so far away, it all seemed, she got a sinking claustrophobic feeling in her chest at the thought of it all......

"Nineteen months.. "She said after a slight moment of silence..

"You'll get married in Sa'ud?

She nodded

He exhales not saying another word..

She shift her gaze to him... "What exactly is it that you don't approve of Brad?, it's not like you are getting married my choice has nothing to do with you... "

He met her eyes.. "You're right, it doesn't.. "

Guilt sliced through her, she'd kissed him, and a need rose in her to make him understand that she wasn't a cheat, that she had values that this momentary indiscretion was bothering her intensely...

"Tradition decrees we marry in his kingdom"She explained

Several beats of silence filled the space between them, his gaze slowly shift to her lips and she swallowed..

"I supposed... "He said slowly, still focused on her mouth.. "That your guest list reads like a United Nations who's who, i mean who doesn't want to rub shoulders with Sa'ud royalty inspite of who they are...,Did you send an invite to the white house too?

"You do have a problem... "

"Lady, I've got lots of problems, acquired over lots of years, you don't even want to go there, let's just deal with what is at hand, why don't you lean your back against the door, get your feet up on the seat here so i can lace up your boot"

She put her feet up and he tied his boot laces,his jaw tight, his moments bruque, tension still rolling off him, he yanked the laces tight, too tight...

"Ouch.... "

"Sorry... "He loosened the lace, tried again..

"Is it Haroun's wealth, his power that you don't like"She said irritably... "Or you don't respect traditions or what?, or just the Sa'uds and their powers?...

She was pushing, she knew it but she needed to know, maybe because she was struggling trying to justify all by herself...

"I guess am wondering Where Haroun is right now"He said.... "And why Ayura, not your fiance is paying me to save your royal Behind...."

He leaned his head forward slightly, lowering his voice to a dark whisper.... "And you know what else is worrying me Persia, it's what Haroun might do if he finds out you like to kiss strange men because Sa'ud sheiks seem to have a bad reputation handling that sort of thing... "

Blood drained from her head... "Brad it's not what.....

He held out his big hand, stopping her dead... "Forget it Persia, i don't want to know"

"You lie.. "She said softly... "Or you wouldn't have ask otherwise.... You owe it to me to allow me explain... "

"Here... "He abruptly peeled the top off the can of ravioli in his hand and stuck the fork end of his knife into it.... "Get this into you"

Frustration burned through her... "I told you am a vegetarian.. "

"Not on my watch you're not"He snapped... "Am getting you out of this bush alive, whether you like it or not, we have no idea how long this will take, and when the jeep fuel runs out, we could be trekking on foot for days, you need energy to survive so you better adjust... "He took the half eaten apple from her and replaced it with the tinned food.. "Eat.. "

Defiance set her mouth and she glared stubbornly ahead

He grabbed the rifle, opened the door and moved to the riverbank..

She glanced at the tin, hunger was crushing her..., she carefully tasted mouthful of beef ravioli... It didn't taste bad so she took in more...

Brad began to pace along the bank, rifle in hand.., he stayed close enough to be sure she was eating..
Minutes later he returned to the vehicle,he saw her sleeping, unable to stop himself, he studied her face in repose, taking time now to note the arch of her lips, the density of her impossibly long black lashes, the angle of her cheekbones ...

Brad skin heated as he thought of the kiss,her taste, her hunger, how he acted completely apart from logic...he still wanted her.... But he keeps fighting..., he wasn't sure how long he can fight, she was in another leaque, a leaque he can't defeat.. And she was promised to a man soon to be king, a sheik richer than the bloody queen of England, this knowledge had starkly redefined the boundaries of his mission and yeah maybe it was jealousy in part that made him feel a little bitter, that had made him attack the Sa'ud royal family like that but there was something darker at play here... He can't be falling for a girl who is promised to a dangerous man..,a man from a clan who derives joy in killing... A man from the house of Sa'ud whose reputation has spread far and near.. A man who controls.., who decides what happened and chased out evidence after turning a party bloody.... A man everyone should be scared of..... HAROUN HASSAN..... "

KINGS
EPISODE 183





GERALD SHOOK WITH FEAR AS HE WALK TO CARLOS SIDE....
FOR a moment he just stood, staring at him....

"Come-on boy, come let me touch you... "Carlos said

"No"Gerald boom out abruptly

"Gerald, that's your grandfather, show some respect.... "Zara cut in..

"Don't worry Zara, kids of this days, i presume they don't like talking to strangers.... "

"But you are not a stranger, you're his grandfather, my soon to be father-in-law..... "Zara said with a smile..

Carlos scoffs.... "Of course, all i have ever prayed for was have a grandson, i guess God answered my prayer by bringing my lost grandson to me.... "He shift his gaze to Gerald...."Come on boy, come to Grandpa....."

Grudgingly, Gerald drag his feet to his side, Carlos quickly pulled him on his legs......

"He look so much like his uncle...... "Carlos said

"His uncle....!

"Didn't Desmond ever told you he have a younger brother, His name is Dillan... "

Zara force a wry smile on her lips..... "He did, he also said his mum, your wife is a very pretty woman... "

"Yes she is indeed pretty, one of the most prettiest lady I've met........ "

"Gerald will be meeting his grandma and uncle soon i supposed .... "Zara said

Carlos chulkled.... "Of course he is..., his grandmother will be so happy.... "








*********************
Claude sniff as she brood over Zara's words....
She quickly change her lying down position and put the pillow under her head....

She shift her gaze to the door when it opened....
She jut her chin when she realise it was Desmond...
She turn her face away, lying down on her side, she recall the late king, the brutal way he was murdered.....

"How are you....? Desmond ask

With doleful eyes she shift her gaze back to him..... "Am fine... "

"You look sad, is your face like that because of what Zara said.... ?

"She's right, i don't have a son that will become king, she does.... "

"It doesn't change anything.... "He said leaning close to the bed.... "We'll have our own son at the right time and he'll be king.... "

She wanted to tell him it won't be possible for their son to become king, because the rightful owners will soon be taking over but she can't... She can't say anything... She knew for a fact saying something will ruin everything....

She exhales and shift away her gaze again...

"Hey.... "Desmond muttered dragging back her attention.....

She raise her head to face him.. Their eyes met.. Their mouths a finger distance from each other... They could hear their own breathe....Their heartbeats..

Just staring at her alone, in that close range rendered Desmond speechless... He knew what he wanted, she's been starving him sex but he needed it and he needs it now....

He lean his head close.. Slowly, his mouth reach hers but she turn her face away.....

Heart racing, he turn his face to the direction she turned to..... He kiss her cheeks, her jaw then slowly made his way again to her lips...

He kiss her softly...,slowly... Then she began to kiss him back...

A raw speed of sexual arousal lick through him.. He kiss deeper, intense, passionately......









********************
With a thud, Rachael threw herself on the bed, she was tired, quite exhausted.... She lay her head on the pillow as she decided to take a little rest.....

It wasn't long before a knock came on the door..., she quickly sat up wondering who was knocking......, with a huff, she stood up from the bed, trot towards the door and open it slowly...
She stood stilled as she saw the person standing by the door.....

"Hi.... "Bianca said

"Greetings..... "Rachael said as she lour her head, she wonder what she was doing there... Why was she knocking, they weren't friends, they haven't spoken any word to each other since she came into the palace with Zara.....

"Can i come in.... "Bianca ask...

Rachael hesitated a bit but curiousity is a bastard....
After much thought,she let her in.....







***********************
He kissed her with ferocity, taking her mouth with a burning possession, tasting her sweetness with deep, languid licks. She whimpered. The vibration sizzled straight through him and stiffened his already erect d**k.

He pressed his hardness against the firm, silken flesh of her bottom. Being in his wife’s presence kept his hunger for her eternally burning, never fully extinguished, despite five years of marriage. She had stolen his heart and he knew he would never get it back....








*********************
Bianca exhales as she sat on the bed after scanning her eyes round the room.....
"Come-on sit down... "She said when she noticed Rachael was still standing.....

"Am a maid, you're the king guest and as such you deserve this kind of respect.... "

"I insist..... "Bianca said with a smile

With great curiousity of what she was up to, Rachael sat down on the other side of the bed......

Bianca rolled her eyes wondering the kind of dummy Rachael was...... "What's your name....?

"Rachael.... "

"Beautiful name, so Rachael i heard you've been here for the past five years..... "

Rachael nodded....

"So you were here when the late king was alive.....?

Shock swept through Rachael wondering why she was bringing up the late king........








********************
Slowly,the maid took out the glass jug of juice from the fridge......
She arranged the glasses on the tray, she look outside to see if there was anyone she could give the glass jug of juice to take to the chief....., she needed to do something else and taking the juice there herself will slow her down....

"Hey Octova.... "She said when she saw Francis...

Francis who was passing quickly spun round to face her...

The maid quickly carried the tray and trot towards him..... "Please take this jug of juice to the chief....."

"Chief, what Chief....? Francis ask anxiously

"The King's father..."

Francis heart skipped..., for a moment he just stood staring at her....

"Please help me take it to him,there is something i need to do first...... "

With those words the maid drop the tray in his hand....
Francis quickly sprang back from his thoughts when the glass jug and glasses almost fell down from his hand......, he watch as the maid walk away..., he look to his right, there was no one coming, then he turn to his left, he realise he was the only one standing in the corridor.....,a few minutes from now he will be standing face to face with his greatest enemy, Carlos......

Just then the worst ideas began to creep into his head.... Taka's poison.....,one drop of it and the chief will be history.....









**********************
Her thick black mane of hair lay like an exotic fan across the white pillowcase. Her breath was slow and steady, the side profile of her breasts readily visible. Her nipples stiffened, magnifying the fullness of her ample curves. She was stunning.

During thier entire marriage he’d watched her turn the heads of men and women alike, and with every passing year he fell more and more in love...

A lazy half-smile spread across her face, an expression she saved for him—a look she gave when she wanted him to tear off all of her clothes and ravage her body.
He traced his fingers along her skin until his fingertips met a peaked nipple.

She melted into him, pressing her warm, curvy ass against his hard-on. The lush carnality of her body swept over him

he grew harder and pressed his d**k against her bottom and kissed her, his tongue blazing a trail from her ear to her jaw, and finally to her hot lips again .....








**********************
"We never speak of the late king.... "Rachael said after much silence...

Bianca bit her lower lip.... "But why is that, i mean he was the king of this kingdom, how come no one is allowed to talk about him..... ?

Rachael swallowed wondering why she was asking, why she wanted to know....."The late king's death was tragic... "

"I don't understand, what really happened to him.....?

Rachael quickly stood up from the bed as she remenbered Claude words... The chiefs killed him....... Her whole body quivered at the thought

"What's wrong, did i say something wrong....? Bianca said disturbed by her reaction...

"No you didn't.... "She said with clenched teeth...... "The king was stabbed severally to dead...."

"Oh my God....!....Bianca exclaimed...... "Who could have done such a hideous thing......?

"I don't know, the people were never caught.... "

Bianca nib her lip"What about his children, his wife, what happened to them.....?

Rachael kept quiet then she spoke up.... "They were never found after that day, no one has heard from them...... "









**********************
She slid her hands along the muscles of his chest and thier breath grew rapid and pressured as their tongues probed each other’s mouths. He caught her lower lip between his teeth and she let out a soft moan. Pushing himself upright, he swept the covers aside and outlined a path from her breast to her hip. Then he gentled her onto her back and pressed her knees apart so he could rub her clit over her panties, noting the growing wetness of the fabric.....

Cheeks flushed, blue eyes bright, she watched as he lowered himself to her full breast. Her expression displayed the raw, savage effect he had on her. She never hid it, never hid her fierce hunger for him, for a child. She was so open and needy and sexy as hell. His chest tightened.








**********************
Slowly, with the tray in his hand, Francis began to make his way to the garden, he caught sight of him from a distance, he was giggling, Gerald in his legs.. His laughter drew back memories of that night, that moment he step his feet on his father's head....... He look at the glass jug of juice then at him...

Great anger began to sink into him, it began to settle deep in him, overwhelming him, seizing all his sense of reasoning... The pains, his screams, his father's blood on the floor all began to flood back in.....

With rage he stepped forward, head swelling.... An evil mindset, he walks towards the devil.....








*********************
"That is so sad.... "Bianca said....

Rachael didn't reply, she just stood as the memories of the late king cloud her head....

"Anyways thanks for telling me this..... "

"Am glad i could help but please if anyone ask, you didn't hear it from me..... "

"Of course.... "Bianca said with a smile...., just then she left her.....all the way wondering if she knows more than what she was letting on but no matter what the truth is, she needs to find out,that way, she can perfect her plans and bring them to reality.. She isn't going to miss this opportunity ....








**********************
He kissed his way down her cheek to her jaw, licking and nipping at her neck and then lower, her chest sex-flushed scarlet and heaving. Her full breasts were plump with arousal, her nipples stiffened into hard peaks. He devoured her left nipple, suckling and nipping with need. When he bit down on the beaded tip, she inhaled sharply, her fingertips raking the skin of her back as he slid his hand into her panties.....

He lowered himself down and grasped her ankles, pushing her legs up, revelling in her gorgeous curves. Her beauty had grown in their years together, her body more mature, the round swells of her breasts and hips and tiny waist the epitome of womanhood.

He slid her panties to mid-thigh and glanced up at her. They locked gazes and she smiled, that sensual smile as she allowed her knees to drop closer to her body, exposing her most private, vulnerable part.....









*******************
The sound of their laughter increases as he drew closer... Slowly on a slow pace, he covered the distance between them.....

Eyes sparkling anger, he stood, his hands began to tremble and the tray began to shake......

In a slow rhythm, Carlos shift his gaze to him....

Their eyes met, Francis rage intensified,it overwhelmed him, about taking control........

"Why don't you drop the tray and get out.... "Zara blared out as she caught sight of him.....

Her words fell to deaf ears, Francis gaze was fixated on Carlos,each stare remind him of that night......,little by little he began to lose it, only anger became dominat leading him to the bloodiest stage of acrimony..........

Carlos gave him a wry taunting evil smile,.......... "Did you poison the juice.?

EPISODE 26




MAX GRIMACE AS HE BIT HIS LOWER LIP, THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEEN ON A DEATH LIST IS KILLING HIM... HE WONDERED WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SENT THOSE MEN TO CHASE HIM OR KILL HIM..
He wonder who his father could have wronged... His father is nowhere to be found and he's the next available target....

He squeaked as Aunt Rebecca's phone began to ring, slowly he peep at the caller..
Unknown number...! He muttered

He jut his chin and ignore the call since Aunt Rebecca was in the bathroom...

The call came again, this time he was more inclined to answer the call, he pick up the phone, the caller was disrupting his thoughts, he has the intention of telling whoever the person is that the owner of the phone is busy...

Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button....

"Rebecca...... "The callers muffled hoarse voice sounded

Shock swept through Max as he quickly recognized the voice....
"Dad"He muttered faintly, shocked etched on his face

"Oh my boy, are you there with your Aunt....?

Anger flushed through Max.... "How could you do this to me father, how could you put me in such death roll....?

"Max am really sorry i have to put you in my mess, i had no choice, you were already involved before i could do anything about it, they want me dead... "

"They....! Max exclaimed, a jarring feeling of awe overwhelmed him.... "Who are they?

Aunt Rebecca hurriedly came out from the bathroom with a towel tied round her body...
"Is that your father...? She ask curiously

"I can't explain on the phone, you need to stay in hiding son, they think they can use you to get to me.... "His father said

"What did you do Father...? Max ask anxiously

Aunt Rebecca quickly collection the phone from him.. "Dr Morrison, where are you?

"Rebecca..., thank God...."Dr Morrison said with pants breathe....

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused me and Max... "She queried

"You need to help me Rebecca... "

Aunt Rebecca knit her brows... "So now you need my help after you abandoned your son to die...?

"Please Rebecca we'll discuss that when this is all over, you need to help me unfold the truth"

"Truth...!, What truth?

"I discovered something,i need to tell him......"Dr Morrison said with pant breathe

"Him..... "She snort... "Dr Morrison you're confusing me, who is him and what did you discover?

"I can't tell you over the phone, she wants me dead because she doesn't want him to know the truth...... "

"Now am totally confused Dr Morrison, who's the she, who's the him and what's the truth?

"You need to help me go to him, i shall text you the address, tell him to meet me where am going to tell you.... "

"Am doing no damn thing until you tell me what's going on.... "She snapped

"This is for the safety of us all, you need to do this for the three of us.... "

"The three of us.... "She boom out, just then the call ended......
"Damn... "She muttered

"They weren't trying to kill me, they just needed me to fish him out of hiding.... "Max said

"Don't be so sure of that Max, whatever your father had going on..., it's bad, very bad... "








*********************
Mrs Lemuel pick the TV remote and turn on the TV, she shook her head as the first channel appear on the big screen, without a second thought, she changed the channel...

She quickly stood up frim the chair as the outside bell rang
"Noah... "She said with a smile the moment she opened the door.....

"Hi..... "Noah muttered with a grim face... Breathing heavily he ran in as Mrs Lemuel stepped out of the way...

Luckily he saw Leonard coming out from his room.... He quickly followed him in..

With a huff, Mrs Lemuel went back to where she was sitting and focus her gaze on the TV...
She shift her gaze to her phone as it began to ring....

"It was sent same time as yours... "Leonard said

"Shayna's name was specified in yours, mine there was no clue.... "

"Maybe whoever it is thought we are both dating her....."Leonard said impetuously... "Or maybe he doesn't even know who is dating her.... "

"That's ridiculous.... "Noah interjects

"This whole bullshit is complicated, who could be sending us threats....? Leonard ask as he began to pace around

"Do you have anyone in mind..? Noah ask

Leonard stood, then he sigh... "I have no idea"

Noah swallowed, not sure if the possibility of what he was thinking is true.... "Okay, let's start from who might be having a crush on Shayna that could be capable of doing this..... "

Leonard purse his lips as he wreck his head but nothing suffice, Shayna has never mentioned anything to him like that..... "I don't know, do you have anyone in mind.. "

"Yeah, but am not sure if he's the one... "

"Who...?

"Mike... "

"Mike...!, Leonard boom out

"Yeah, remenber at his birthday party, the way he was staring at Shayna, the reason he invited Shayna to that party.....

"That idiot....."Leonard interjects brusquely.... "I knew from the start he has bad intentions"

"Hey we're not sure yet if he's the one....."

"Am going to confront him... "Leonard snapped

"That isn't necessary, besides if he's really the one, he isn't going to admit it...... "

Leonard grunts, anger slowly making way into him.... "Did you ask Tessy if she has a boyfriend.., a jealous boyfriend"

"Come-on we've discussed this, i haven't asked her,You think she has... ?

"Just my instincts"

"If she has, that should be my problem, the person shouldn't be dragging you in besides you have specific.... SHAYNA.. "

"That's the big question here,who else wants Shayna other than that big fool, Mike?

"We don't know for sure if he's behind this"

"Noah, there is every possibility it's him, that is why he's threatening the two of us because we both accompany Shayna to that party.... "

"Shayna introduced you as her boyfriend, his problem should be only you, why me too?

"Are you insinuating the letters came from different people.....?

"I can't tell precisely, maybe it does, all these might just be a coincidence"

"I don't think so... "Leonard said....as he began to pace around again..., he stopped, snorted and spun round to face Noah..... "You are right, Mike sent this pictures and i will certainly confront him.... "

"You're letting your hatred for Mike cloud your sense of reasoning, you can't just go off accusing someone...... "He puff then continue.... "When you confront him, what will you say to him, will you tell him he was so stupid to send you threatening letters, come-on dude, before we confront anyone, we need to be sure of what we're doing, since we don't have any clues on who sent these letters, let just leave things the way they are now... "

Noah took a deep breathe as he finished talking.. ,he was beginning to fear for Shayna's safety, his instincts tells him whoever is insuring this threats ought to be ruthless and he is determined to protect Shayna even if it means stepping out of his boundaries.....

JACOB SCREAM AND GRIMACE AS THE BULLET HIT HIS ARM SENDING HIM TO THE FLOOR...
"Jesus man, what did you do that for...? He shouted as blood began to gushed out from his arm.........

Infuriated, Mr Azuk cocked the gun again..., his fingers on the trigger again....

With pains, Jacob stood up, blood rushing profusely from his arm..., he staggered out of the house....

The gateman who was already shaken by the gunshot stood still as Jacob staggered to his car...

The gateman quickly registered what happened, without hesitation, he opened the gate....

Breathing heavily,Jacob gear up the engine, with shaking hands and pains in his right arm, he drove out of the compound.....

Mr Azuk crunched down on the floor, tears began to drip down from his eyes.....







********************
Claude settled her palm on the wooden hand of the queen chair, Desmond sitting besides her on the throne...
She exhales when she dwell on the thought that sooner or later the throne will be taken from them by the rightful owners, she shift her gaze to Desmond whose gaze was fixated on the maid standing before them....

"You may leave now... "Desmond said to the maid..

The maid thanked him and left their presence....

"What's the meaning of this.... "Zara snarled as she entered the throne room with Gerald who was still crying, Bianca behind her...

"How dare you beat my son..., what did he do to you? She raved again giving Claude a hard look

"Do you even realize who you are talking to.....? Desmond ask with curled lips....

"Spare me the titles...."Zara said abruptly..... "Look at your son, he's crying because the queen hit his head..... "

"Guards..... "Desmond growled infuriated

"Is okay.... "Claude said as she shift her gaze to Desmond....

The guards who drew nearer began to go back when the king signalled them to do so.....

Claude exhales.... "I didn't hit your son... "

"So he just started crying on his own.... "Bianca interjects

"She's the queen"Desmond cut in harshly "add some respect when you talk to her else you'll be thrown out of this palace after a heavy dose of punishment..... "

Bianca eyed him and turn her gaze away.., she fold her hands across her chest...

"If you didn't hit him, do you mind explaining to me why he's crying......? Zara ask, exasperation in her voice..

"Your son was playing with a knife, a maid reported it, i only scolded him... "Claude said

"My son told me specifically you hit his head..... "

"Your son is lying, what i did was collect the knife from him before he harms someone with it.... "

"My son never lies to me..., if he said you hit him, you hit him.. "

"And so what if she hits him.... "Desmond cut in harshly.... "Your son was caught playing with a knife, that ill-behavior won't be tolerated in this palace, i demand he's flogged...... "

Gerald quickly cling to his mother's skirt....

Zara curl her lips as Gerald cling tightly to her skirt.... "I see, the whole palace has ganged up against my son... "

"No one gang up against your son...... "Claude cut in... "Your son would have hurt someone with that knife... "

"Instead of hitting him, you should have told me..... "

"This is the palace, my palace......"Claude snapped.... "Just like the king said, such ill-mannered behavior won't be tolerated here, i don't want his clumsy ways influencing my daughter..... "

"There are other ways to correct a little child than hitting him....

"What part of she didn't hit him you don't get...? Desmond cut in infuriated...

"Do you really expect me to believe that....

"Believe whatever you want Zara, but the next time he tries something like that, i will certainly look towards his punishment...... "Claude said brusquely...

Zara glared at her, great anger settled in her, overwhelming her..... "Why don't you just admit it, you are jealous because my son is going to become king...... "

Shocked, Bianca shift her gaze to her...., she didn't expect her to say that so soon, what is she thinking....

"King.... !Desmond scoffs.... "Is that why you are here so that bastard can become king..... "

"My son is not a bastard but the son of the king, and am sure according to the tradition, a girl cannot rule so that makes my son the next king of this land..... "

"You must be delusional if you think that thing you call a son will ever sit on this throne.... "

Claude suck her teeth, Zara words reminds her of her predicament...... "Look Zara, i don't care if your son becomes king or not, what i care about is how he behaves, if that is the way you raised him, you did a very bad job....

"Of course i did, because you were busy holding the father here...

"Zara..... "Desmond growled wirh fierce energy as he quickly stood up from the throne..... "One more word from you and i swear it will be your last.... "

"Did i come here at the wrong time.....?

They all turn their gaze to the door....

An atom of shock ran through Claude when she saw Carlos standing by the door post....

"Father....... "Desmond muttered calming his nerves....

"What's going on here....? Carlos ask

"You can leave now Zara before i change my mind... "Desmond said

Zara curl her lips... "Change your mind, we're not done with this. "

"Oh yes we are and the more time you spend here the more angry i get, so i need to go to your room this instant,pack every dirty thing that belong to you and get the hell out of this palace..... "

"Am not going anywhere Desmond..., You should be warning your wife...

"She's the queen.... "Desmond yelled

"Am your queen now...."Zara yelled back...... "So you better warn her, the next time she touch my son, i won't be this polite.... "

Eyes sparkling anger, Claude walk close to her.... "Zara, i know you think i did something to your son, I've been trying to explain, I've been tolerating your nonsense, but i have my limit, don't provoke me.... "

"Guards.... "Desmond shouted...... "Excort Zara to her room....."

The guards walk towards Zara who reciprocated by glaring at them....."Don't touch me... "She said, gave Claude a dirty look, then she hold her son and walk out followed by Bianca.....

"Claude.... "Desmond muttered when he saw the anger in her eyes..

Nit choosing to reply, Claude left him there....

"This is what happens when the queen refuses to give birth to a son.... "Carlos said walking close to Desmond...... "Was that my grandson....?








********************
With a bandaged hand, Jacob turn down the knob and the door flung open.....

"What happened to your hand...? Rose ask shapily....

Not choosing to reply, Jacob walk straight to the room...

Rose huffs and followed him.....

"What happened.....? Rose ask again when she got to the room...

"Why do you care....? Jacob ask back pulling off his shirt with one hand.....

"You can't just come hime with a bandaged hand and expect me to be quiet.... What happened to you....?

"I was shot.... "Jacob snapped impetuously

"Shot.., by who....?

Jacob swallowed, not choosing to reply,he pulled off his singlet and went shirtless...
He wince at the pains of the arm...., he couldn't still believed it, that bastard had shot him.. He will deal with him....

"I think the person missed... "Rose said abruptly....

Jacob gave her a hard look.... "Would you have prefer he had shot my head instead.... "

"That would have been a cause for a celebration, so unfortunate the bullet only hit your hand.... "

"Get out.... "

"And go where....? She ask abruptly.....

Irritated, he pushed her with his body out of the way and walk to the palour...

He wince again as the pains sunk in....
He had told the doctor to keep it a secret, he doesn't want anyone to know that bastard shot him, not even his Father , he will deal with him at his own time.. Now he needs to get to Ferico Carter....

Rose came out with a packet of cigarettes and a lighter in her hand....
She snorted and sat opposite him, she took one cigar, placed it on her mouth then she lit it.....

"You smoke now....? Jacob ask, surprise etched on his face...

"You have no idea the things am capable of doing now... "She said dropping the lighter on the chair....

"So you faked your death and you started smoking.....?

"You have no idea what kept me going after you and that dead slut left me to die in that gutter.... "

Jacob scoffs, then he drew closer to her, collected one cigarette, pick up the lighter and lit it.... "I guess we have something in common..... "

"Yes.., my only regret is that bullet didn't kill you.... "

Jacob scoffs... "Haven't you heard that those who pray for the downfall of others end up going down before those they prayed for...."

"Fair words... "

"Fair prayer. "

She knew she won't see him again, she knew she has to let go but she can't.. That moment they kissed keeps haunting her, giving her sleepless nights..... He evades her dreams, her thoughts, she wonder if he thinks same way about her....
Just then the door flung open...

Shocked, she jumped out of the bed.., she breathe heavily trying to catch her breathe when she realise it was Vuga....
"You promise to always knock before entering..... "

Vuga nib his lips.... "I forgot.. "

In a slow pace, Adesa came out from behind him.... "I told him to knock first.... "

"Really....., i didn't hear that either.... "

Katherine swallowed.... "What did you find out... ?

Adesa step inside followed by Vuga....

"You were right.. "Adesa said..... "Someone had dropped the rope..... "

"I knew it, there is another KA-RU in town.... "Katherine said

Vuga rolled his eyes.... "Am i the only one who thinks this whole thing is awkward,i mean your story about this infa....

"Infamaccumuno.... "Katherine cut in..

"Yeah whatever...., do you really believe it's what has been taking people and not King Jafar.... "

"The Infamaccumuno is real.. I saw it myself, and if someone had dropped the rope, it means whoever the person is, he's luring people into those woods... He's feeding the Infamaccumuno..... "

"So if the KA-RU isn't Francis, then who is he....?









**********************
"Great king..... "Danasiri said as soon as she felt his presence.....
She quickly stood up from her sitting position and spun round to face him.....

"King Jafar is performing the ritaul of Kalaruda....., he is sacrificing ten heads just to win this war..... "

"Blood moves ogini....... "

"What are you saying Danasiri, that if i don't offer human sacrifice, i won't win this war....?

"Is not this war you should be worry about...., a greater war is coming...... "

"What greater war is more greater than the one coming .....?King Dafuda ask anxiously

"Those visions i foreseen, i have seen them again..... "

"Danasiri the visions you should be seeing is vision of our Victory....."

"This war i talk about doesn't only affect Mogula, it will sweep away all kingdoms....., the men with the strange books are coming, they are close, the battle that lies ahead is not a battle of swords.... Death is coming..... "

"What do i do to win this war....? King Dafuda said not minding what she's saying....

"Do you remember the stroy of the strange book......?

"Am not here to talk stories priestess... Am here to seek the face of ogini.... "

"One strange book cursed an entire family, they are bringing more of that books....., that is the war we need to win...., as for this little war, victory is ours,for ogini is with us..... "

King Dafuda sigh... "I shall brings rams for sacrifice to ogini..... "
With those words, king Dafuda left her....

"Priestess....... "The lower priestess said..... "This war you speak of, when is it going to happen...... ?

"Soon....., the persistence visions are signs that it will happen soon, the time is near for ogini beloved devotees to return..... "

"The KA-RUs.....?
