THE GAME OF A CAT AND TWO MOUSE

...Lucas...

The next morning, I was woken up by the loud ringing of my cellphone,

I stared at the screen as a wave of irritation washed over me, Grace was calling, I let out a low curse and answered the call.

"Grace, why are you calling this early?" I asked my eyes briefly staring at the wall clock

"Am missing school today, I want to see you at our usual place" Grace said, by the sound of her voice, she seemed to be Still upset over what happened in the early hours

"Can't it wait, I have some plans today" I said

"It cant wait, its about the baby" she replied, upon hearing that, I quickly sat up in bed alerted

"What's wrong with the baby?" I asked anxiously

"Come to our usual hotel, I can't talk about this over the phone" Grace then hang up the call leaving me with endless questions on what could have happened.

I eventually got out of bed and went to take a quick shower, afterwards, I made my way to the hotel passing through a cafe for a quick

He asked, I sat up holding my stomach before looking at my legs that where still in bondages"Am fine, what happened?" I asked, the last thing I remembered was falling off from the bed after experiencing a very sharp pain in my stomach"Who served you the food you ate last night?" Robert asked"I don't know, I thought you are the one who brought it" I said remembering how I was grateful that he had brought food to my room"I did not, that food was poisoned. You are lucky I found you just in time or you would have died" he explained surprising me"Poisoned?, why and

Shouldn't you be telling me who poisoned me yesterday?" I knew I sounded rude compared to how I always act but this whole issue was disturbing me."I fired all the maids and had them arrested until they say who brought the food to your room" she answeared suprising me, I felt a little sad that the ones that were innocent had to pay for it as well. Working three part times jobs plus taking care of Rita made me sympathetic,"But the maids, surely they wouldn't just wake up and decide to kill me, what is really happening in this family, will you tell me who is after me or will i be here expecting to die unexpectedly?" I asked, if this family had an enemy, the least they could do is tell me who it was so I could be cautious"Its complicated Sally, but not to worry, am sure Robert told you that you are moving out with h

    Chapter 30 ...Sally... The place Robert bought was a condo on the second floor of a tall building, upon entering inside, I was left in awe at how beautiful and huge it was, I noticed there were new set of furniture and realized he had fixed the place just so we could be comfortable, "you like it?" He asked, of course I did, these where the sort of houses I only saw on t.v or cleaned at my other part time job "Yes, its lovely" I said, Robert wheeled me around the house and showed me to my room, "Since you won't be able to cook in the condition you are in, I hired a maid who will report here every morning to cook and clean and help you out with basic needs" he explained, for a moment, I felt perhaps Leaving with Robert wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. After leading me to my room, Robert's phone rang and he excused himself and walked out of the room, I took the chance to look around the massive bedroom with a queen sized bed, a walk in closet, bathroom and toilet and a balcony

I asked Diana as I robbed her back softly making her moan in delight"Just the usual party, did you have something in mind?" She asked, "No, what would you like me to get for you?" I asked"Let me see, how about you surprise me honey?" I thought for a few seconds what I would actually get her but decided I would find something soon, in the meantime, I had an urgent matter at hand"How about we elope and have our own honeymoon?" I suggested making her laugh"Joshua is getting married in the next two weeks" I then said changing the topic, Diana turned to face me surprised"What, how come no one knows, David didnt mention this, am sure father isn't even aware" she said, Joshua was Uncle David's first son, I knew telling Diana this information would ruin Uncle David's plans but in this family, one had to stick to himself"I recently found out as well" I said, Diana seemed disturbe

Marriage was a big deal for me, if I ever got married, I wouldn't have wanted it to be because of a child, I wanted to fall in love and because I knew it wasn't possible with Robert, I knew marriage was out of question.Taking another deep breath, I tried one last time to free my self and this time, I succeeded and moved a few inches away from him,I fell asleep looking at his peaceful face that night.The next morning, I woke up and found myself in bed alone, I could hear the water

To think neither Robert and I had expected Lucas's comeback to be this way only showed how much we underestimated him and his obsession for me,“You can't be happy, at least not without me, Am the only one who can make you happy Sally. You always complained about how much you hated Robert’s character, so I did you a favor, here is Robert's face that you are so much in love with and my character which i know you like” I shook my head as tears made their way on my face“I love Robert” I whispered but Lucas heard me and his facial expression changed“Don't make me angry Sally, you have no idea what I went through for you, the least you can do is be happy and thankful, now drive” he said,I started the car wondering how I could inform Robert or the police of the current situa

The door finally opened, I wish it was some sort of miracle and Robert would be the one to walk in with The police but unfortunately for me,It was Lucas with a bottle of water,“Am sorry I had taken long” he said locking the door, he opened the bottle of water for me and brought it to my lips,“Drink” surely he wouldn't put any drugs in the water and even though he did, I didn't carry about It as i was too thirsty, I took the water until the bottle was halfway, then I began to feel hungry,“Did you come with any food?” I asked,“I just found out am the most wanted person dead or alive with a huge su
