HER SILVERLINING Chapter 14: Sort by Dangerous Men
Carla first appeared in Terry’s office two months ago, when her scandal had just begun, and he must say he was very shocked that not just any celebrity came to him but the one he hated so much and didn’t want to help.When she came and complained of severe depression, he felt. Well, good for you. He hoped she committed suicide fast so that one would be rid of her and organizations that had used her as their ambassadors would be able to wash off its stains.These thoughts were unbecoming of a psychologist but he had it anyway and he was not ready to pretend he didn’t have it. Why was this?Carla was once a glorified celebrity model, everyone admired her works and most especially her story, of which two were the most inspiring; the first was the story of her leaving her backward village to pursue her dream, despite all odds and the second was the story of how she believed in Hera diamond’s CEO when no one did, making her rise to fame by endorsing her products. She was tagged as a bless

A phone rang continuously in a dimly lit office but no one picked it up. The room was trashed with papers and documents lying all over the floor, broken glass, and a few spots of dark liquid, which seemed like blood were in various places. The window blinds were pulled down and only a dim table lamp was lit on the table. The darkness concealed the face of the man who sat majestically on a sofa with his legs crossed and his bodyguards, who stood around him stared at another man who lay, sprawling on the floor, coughing continuously, in disgust.The man’s face was visibly beaten blue black and drops of blood were at the corner of his lips. His once expensive-looking striped shirt was now dirty and wrinkled, his hair was wet with a bright red liquid. He lay there, on the floor, breathing heavily as if he would pass out at any moment. The moment the phone rang again, he raised his head, his dull eyes shining as if he had regained hope. He looked in the direction where it was, on the flo

The days went by so fast, with Steve not showing up at Carla’s home and Carla not even remembering that a Steve had visited and asked her out the day after her arrival. But she didn’t really have the luxury to think about him as her days were tormented by anxiety and fear.She couldn’t sleep well at night as she had nightmares of Zak finding her and anti-fans beating her up. By the end of the first week, she had lost weight from lack of sleep, had terrible eye bags, and had begun to feel jumpy at the slightest sound, including the sound of the doorbell. Her health was deteriorating, as she slowly fell into depression and no one knew, as she even shut her doors and stayed away from her grandmother who she was keeping her so-called secret from.But of course, her grandma knew something was wrong, she just didn’t know what it was, and neither did she notice it was a problem with her granddaughter. She noticed that Steve no longer showed up at their home, she had expected that he would be

Steve sat in his car and watched Carla walk into her home, today can only be described in two words, A DISASTER. And Steve saying that, was an understatement. What exactly did they go to do at the beach? They walked, changed their clothes, and came back? Carla didn’t even wait for them to change back into their real clothes and had returned home in her one-piece swimsuit. It was barely twelve and they were back already, did being with him make her so uncomfortable? He wondered with a sigh.His eyes fell on the shopping bag in the rear seat and he wondered if he should follow her in and return it to her, but if he did, her grandmother would ask him how the ‘date’ went and why they returned so early. She would be really disappointed to know that he didn’t confess to Carla in the end but how was he to confess to a woman who cannot stand him.Steve rubbed his forehead in frustration before he saw the picnic basket.Just this morning he had been so excited, making all her favorite food.

True to her words, the bikinis in the corner were beautiful and were her perfect size, she immediately got excited and tried on various designs. The sales attendant was shocked at how these styles fit her so well. “Ma’am, you have a really good figure. Have you ever thought of being a model?”Carla stiffened at her word, the light in her eyes dimming as she suddenly remembered who she was. She fell silent for a few seconds, staring at the bikini she had just taken off before turning to the sales attendant. “I would go with the conservative one-piece swimsuit.” She said, now a little calmer, as she also returned the bikini she had earlier picked up with the plan of trying it on.The sales attendant was shocked at her sudden change of mood. She ran their conversation through her head twice to see if she said anything wrong, and when she couldn’t figure out what went wrong she asked her. “Is there a problem ma’am? Did I say something wrong?”“No, no, it’s fine. I just think it is best to

“We’re going to the beach first? Are there more delicacies there?” She asked this time with enthusiasm and Steve nodded.“Tourists come here for the rare delicacies.”“Since when did our small town have so many delicacies?” Carla asked in wonder, it’s just been seven years since she left, why does it sound like it’s been twenty or thirty years since she last lived here?“Well, some classmates came back to settle in the village since it became a tourist town and they learned a few things that have benefited the town,” Steve explained.“O….h,” Carla said and her mood dampened.Their classmates. She had seen and met a few while pursuing her career in the capital. Some had been very nice to her, and some made her feel like she owed them something. However they had reacted to her, the truth remained one thing, many classmates followed her social media account and knew of her situation better than anyone else. If she saw them or tourists who knew her at the beach, what was she supposed to

Carla on the other hand was still in deep sleep, she was mentally and emotionally drained but her sleep wasn’t so smooth, she woke most of the time from panic as she had nightmares of Zak coming after her and her grandmother falling ill from hearing of all her scandals. Sometimes she dreamt that anti-fans came to her home scolding her and beating her up. She woke up suddenly with sweat over her brows, her heart pounding fast. This was the third time she had woken up from a nightmare while sleeping, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her door resounded with a banging knock and her nerves tensed almost immediately as she wondered if she was still dreaming or if the nightmares were becoming a reality.But she soon heard her grandma’s voice, “Carla, Steve is here to take you out!!!” Grandma Joan yelled from behind the door hoping to wake up the ‘still sleeping’ Carla. Carla heaved a sigh of relief before sitting on her bed. She remembered that no one knew that she was out of to

Steve woke up bright and early, excited about the day, he went to the kitchen of his small bungalow house and got busy making various dishes for the picnic ‘date’, he planned to take Carla on. He had an apron tied around his waist with the sleeve of his white shirt pulled up to his elbow and yes, he was in a corporate outfit today, a white shirt on gray suit pants. He knew Carla liked ambitious and official-looking men, so he was opting for that look today, hopefully, she would be impressed with him enough to consider dating him. He prepared the various dishes diligently according to Carla’s taste, a taste he had quietly gotten accustomed to in the past seven years of befriending her grandma and practicing under her guidance.During those seven years, what they majorly talked about most was Carla, her likes, her dislikes, and even her favorite foods. He took time learning how to make her favorite dishes and now when he makes them, they are almost similar to the one made by her grand

“See? How hard was that?” Grandma Joan scolded Steve as they walked downstairs. All he did was smile, of course when he came downstairs to invite her upstairs, he didn’t tell her there was something wrong with Carla, he only asked her to help him persuade Carla to go out with him tomorrow and she agreed but not without scolding.“Thank you, grandma.” He said cheekily.“Tsk, you this child. It would be best if you were bolder. You are a man after all.”“I will change grandma. I have to go home now, it’s getting really late.”“Okay, hurry up. Drive safely.” She waved him away as he walked out of their home.The moment Steve was out the front door, he turned and looked up at the window of the dark room on the first floor which was no doubt Carla’s room. The smile on his face no longer existed, his face now cold and chilling, as he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, it was picked up after the first ring.“Find out what happened to Carla in the capital. I want to know
