She sat down quietly not knowing what to do as she thought of everything that had happened still trembling hard as tears dropped down her eyes as she remembered her past.
" Who was this man?, and He mentioned something about her sister", Maybe her sister wasn't dead as she thought. She got up to search for her phone," She could call him, what was his name again??" "...Mr Da...mien, yes Mr. Damien " He could tell her where she could find her sister but one thing still remained a mystery. "How did he know she was assaulted?"She could swear that nobody knew about it unless he was responsible for it. Lots of thoughts ran through her head and the only way to find out the truth was to give him a Call. She found her phone on the dinning table and brought out the envelope to find his contact, after several attempts of searching for the contact she found it at the back of the envelope. Dialing the number she felt really anxious and scared but her curiosity overpowered her anxiousness and within seconds the call went through and she found herself saying, "Hello, Mr. Damien" " I expected your call about 8 minutes ago,I will send you an address meet me there immediately" The caller said and hung up immediately. " What insolence!"she shouted biting her lower lips in anger as she rolled her right palm into a fist. " I will surely teach him a lesson". Entering her room , she grabbed a jacket and her purse and made to leave the house. Outside, the weather was cold as expected of the winter season. She ensured the doors and locks were in place before driving out to nowhere in particular. Her phone beeped and she guessed it was the address. Her guess was correct and the address was her favourite club. "Damn, this guy is driving me crazy" she cried out in agony. She had actually taken a different route and was driving southeast to a coffee shop while the club was at the heart of the city. "I surely going to teach him a lesson for turning me round town like a child"she swore. She carefully reversed and turned northward heading for " Night pacific club". The drive was smooth and she got there within 15 minutes. She entered and saw him at the edge of the room, the club was not filled at all, just three or four fellows drinking and smoking. She walked up to him and to her surprise she didn't feel angry at him instead she admired his youthful appearances. He still wore the same clothes he had on earlier but it didn't hinder his handsomeness. As she got close he looked up and smiled, " My dear Cindy"he stood up as he walked up to her for a hug but her expression showed other wise and he decided to maintain a good composure. " How do you know so much about me?" She asked as soon as she sat down He didn't answer instead he offered her a pipe to smoke from. She opened her purse and brought out a pack of cigarettes showing it to him. "Smart girl, I love your guts" he said licking his lower lips which irritated Cindy. "Let's,get down to business by telling me about my sister" she sounded bossy and she liked it , she always wanted to control men. "Information about your sister will be communicated to you but for now you will have to take over Mr.Axl's wealth " He said as he smoked from the pipe in front of him. " I still don't understand "" It's a tit for tart Cindy, you give me Mr.Axl's wealth and then I give you the whereabouts of your only sister" He said with much emphasis on " only sister". " So my sister is alive" she asked almost at the verge of tears " Not just alive, she's hale and hearty" He answered mockingly. "How sure am I that Mr. Axl's going to fall for me" she asked but soon regretted it because she knew no guy could ever resist her seductive looks. "I can't do this at all...It's not right" she continued, Mr Damien gave out a mocking laughter and spoke up, "So it was right when he assaulted you?? Without allowing the words to sink he continued" ...I thought you wanted to take revenge for your assault " looking at her face he could see anger written allover and he was pleased because that's all he wanted. "I am Axl's brother and I knew everything that happened on that day because he told me " ,pouring the remaining whiskey into his glass cup he continued, "Axl told me everything and that was how I researched about you and discovered all the information I have and to be honest Axl doesn't regret any of his actions at all, that's why I want you to teach him a lesson" He said as he drank the remaining whisky studying her expression carefully. "Aren't you scared that am going to hurt your brother?" She asked quietly. " He deserves it for being my enemy"He responded with a mischievous smile . "Am ready, but you must keep your own side of the deal by giving me the whereabouts of my sister " she said expecting an answer. " I keep to my words dear Cindy" " Expect my call in the next 24 hours" Cindy whispered as she got up and left with anger all over her face. One could tell she felt much hatred and agony." So what do you think Bennett?" He asked as a guy popped out from the next table. It look like he had been there all along and had listened to their conversation
" She looked bold and confident Boss plus the anger she felt for Mr. Axl would make your plan work " Bennett responded. " Am a cunning genius "Damien yelled attracting the stares from two or three individuals. "Why did you have to lie to her boss?, You know your not related to Mr. Axl" . " Sometimes Bennett we have to lie to accomplish a task , understand?" He nodded, He was Damien' s confident and he knew Damien could go to any length to make his plans works. "What if she finds out that Mr. Axl is her sister's husband??"Bennett inquired " Then we watch the drama that unfolds" He laughed mockingly wishing he would be privileged to see that day.(Mr. Axl's Mansion) " I need the receipts for the transactions made last week" Cathy yelled from the dining room as she climbed the stairs. " You have no right to get explanations on how I spend my money". She let out a mocking laughter as she said " your money??, Listen to me Axl it's My money " "Am married to you so everything you have is mine" "Really?? She asked with popped eyeballs. " Get your ass upstairs and get me the receipt she ordered. " You should be ashamed of yourself, ordering your husband like a common helper" Axl pitifully said. " Young man, your wasting my time I honestly have work to do" she commanded sternly. " I regretted ever marrying you Cathy Chester " She laughed mischievously as though she knew he didn't mean what he said. " For God's sake who would ever regret marrying the richest woman?" Cathy was about to say something when a maid came and bowed " Sir, your friend Mr Dementrio had come to see you " " Bring him in" he said
Driving home she felt total rage and anger .She kept cool as she drove fast back to her house trying hard to keep her speed level in check. The last thing she wanted right now was to be arrested for over speeding or reckless driving. As she got home,she rushed to the kitchen to get her favourite whisky from the refrigerator, tightly clutching to the bottle of whiskey like someone was going to take it from her, she drank from it directly without bothering to pour it in a glass cup to show courtesy. She gulped it heavily as she strode across the room in furry, her face was full of anger as she tried to clear her long black hair that had fallen over her face with her left hand folded into a fist with the memories of the night she was assaulted running through her head ,the agony, pain mixed with anger flowed through her veins. " She knew who assaulted her and she was going to make him pay back dearly". Tears flowed down her pretty eyes as she remembered the incide
She typed the address and quickly sent it to Rhea, " She would have no problem locating it, it was just down the street " She thought. She wore her jacket as she left the house driving slowly to the coffee shop. The coffee shop looked fanciful and had many customers today which was due to the weather. "What better way of spending the winter than having a nice cup of hot coffee". As she entered,she sat down and signaled for a waiter who came up immediately ,she ordered Cappuccino and steamed stuffed buns. Her order came right after 3 minutes and she ate silently while waiting for Rhea. Rhea appeared about 10 minutes later looking as gorgeous as ever. She was a black beauty with beautiful long hair which she tied up in a ponytail. She wore plain and thick clothes which was to protect her from cold. " How long have you been waiting?" She asked immediately she arrived. "Not too long, only that I had already finished up my coffee and was about to order another on
"Here are the information you asked for Cindy" Rhea said giving her the laptop. They had just returned home a while ago and where already making preparations for their revenge plan."He has no photographs here, why is that?" She asked looking at Rhea. "His a wealthy man so information concerning him are kept secret and highly confidential, Mr. Damien was close so maybe that's why he got his photographs" Rhea explained. " That's weird, so when he drives to work nobody takes his pictures?"She asked . " His powerful Cindy, so controlling the media is not a problem " Rhea answered as she got up to the refrigerator to take a bottle of whiskey. " Why is there a half filled bottle of whiskey?" She asked taking another whiskey bottle. "I drank that one earlier today but am keeping it to celebrate my Victory when the time comes" Cindy answered with smiles. " Hope the information I got on Mr. Axl is okay?". " Yes, it's okay for now, at least we know how he looks like,
She opened her eyes slowly as she wondered why she was lying down on the cushion when she was supposed to be on her bed, she looked around to see if she could find Rhea but she wasn't there. She stood up gently because she was still feeling tired as she walked up to her room only to find Rhea sleeping peacefully on the bed. "Typical Rhea" She sighed as she quickly scanned the room looking for something to hit her. Nothing in the room caught her attention, they were all hard objects which will hurt Rhea if she used it on her, so she had to settle for the extra pillow on the bed which Rhea wasn't using. She hit the pillow hard on Rhea making her scream into reality in fright. " What's the meaning of this Cindy?" She yelled in shock and anger. " I should ask you that Rhea, why are you on the bed?" Cindy interrogated. " I want to sleep, don't disturb me" she replied as she turned to sleep. " Are you serious? Rhea you left me on the cushion and came to sleep her
"Boss, the supposed dead daughter of Mr. Chester is still alive" he answered. "What! That's good news, so Cathy's twin sister is still alive " Dementrio said with a grin and for the first time he removed his sunshades to show his happiness. " Although I have some bad news" The bodyguard answered, he was in all black and wore a mask. "Your brother Damien had already gotten to her and the Information I got says he plan on using her in getting the wealth of Mr. Axl" He continued and bowed his head waiting for Dementrio's orders. "Damien, Damien, you won't change right?" He mocked . He wasn't surprised his brother will betray him, the Damien he knew will do anything to be above him but unfortunately he always knew all his plans . Unknown to Damien, his brother kept tabs on him and he knew every of his move. " You can leave" he ordered the bodyguard. He laughed at his brother' s cowardness and stupidity. "He doesn't even know all the wealth belonged to Cathy an
"What was that all about" Cindy asked as soon as Rhea got close to her. "It's nothing, he just mistook you for someone" She answered. " Wow,I thought as much because he kept staring at me like he had seen me before" Cindy responded. " Yeah I noticed, he said you reminded him of a friend he met in California " "California? She laughed , but I have never been to California" . " That's what I said to him and he left but did you notice anything about him" Rhea inquired. "Anything? Like what exactly? She questioned. " Like his harsh and bossy Aura" "Yeah, he reminded me of Damien only that he looked more dangerous and Damien is more handsome" Cindy answered. "You think he could be the right one? Rhea asked with a grin on her face. " Hope it's not what am thinking ?" She asked ignoring her question."Depends on what your thinking Cindy" she answered." That guy has no respect for ladies and your already catching feelings?" Cindy said. " I also don't have respect
The building stood out looking magnificent, it was a skyscraper and she wondered how many floors it contained. Maybe 40 to 50 floors, she thought. She walked to go inside when she suddenly stiffened. Was she ready for this, she thought. She took a deep breath and moved forward, 'It was too late to turn back'. The door automatically opened for her and she entered into the office. She shivered, the air inside was much colder than outside. She quietly rubbed her palms as she walked up to the receptionist. 'Good afternoon, I need to see Mr. Axl ' she said politely. "Do you have an appointment with him" the receptionist asked. She was petite with a short brown hair and looked quite older than Cindy, maybe in her late 30's . "No I don't" she answered. "Am sorry Miss you can't see him" She explained without her eyes leaving the system in front of her. Cindy scowled, she already expected this and was ready for it. The information Rhe
' Remember me' a voice said, it was a man. He was short and dressed all in black, black jeans,a black leather jacket and a black baseball cap. He tipped the cap up to reveal a pair of black sunglass. Then he reached for the glasses and pulled them off reveling two bullet- hole black eyes and a knife scar on his left eye. The middle aged man stiffened as he swallowed hard. 'What are you doing in my house ' his said in a frightened voice. 'That's not the right question Mr. Anderson ' He said in a hoarse voice as he looked a sharp look at him before sitting comfortably on the coach. ' I don't...' Mr. Anderson stammered but was interrupted. ' I know your shocked and your wondering how I escaped death, Right?' He asked as he walked over to the mini bar to get himself a drink but he stopped halfway to observe the house. ' The house is really beautiful and expensive. You did a good work in taking over his properties ' he complemented. ' Answer
'Good morning My love, How was your night?" He asked as soon as she answered the call. 'You can tell I had the best night ever ' she giggled . ' How is Cindy? Hope she's better?' He asked. 'Yes, she's leaving to confirm if what we said yesterday was true ' she declared as she waved to Cindy who just entered her car. ' So your home alone?' He asked almost in whispers. ' Yeah!'. 'Get ready am sending my driver to come pick you up' he said before the call ended. She was dumbfounded but blushed at the thought of him missing her this early. She rushed upstairs as she quickly took her bath and got dressed. She was just applying her lip gloss when she heard the sound of a car in the driveway, she paused to listen if it was his driver. After a while of waiting , she concluded it wasn't him and stood up to get breakfast when she heard the door bell. She rushed to get it and saw an unfamiliar face. 'Miss Rhea?' He said sharply. He
' What are you doing here?' She asked in shock after some seconds of staring. Her expression was that of shock and confusion. One could tell she was mentally dealing with the possiblity of everything being a dream. 'I want some answers from you!' Cathy ordered in a stern voice. She was taken aback by her audacity but maintained her shocked expression. 'Leave my house or I will call up the security agents!" She yelled as she tried to shut the door but Cathy was already a step before her . 'Stop Nelly Chester and let me in !' She screamed with her bossy aura . The young lady was shocked, she stood for a while before she entered inside ,letting the door open for her to enter . Cathy entered and immediately observed the interior wall of the house. It was empty...well except for a painting which was at the end of the room. Cathy tried to hide her disgust because she was a fan of multiple colours and seeing the wall was already freaking her out. 'Y
She searched her wardrobe looking for any documents that could lead her to discovering if her sister was really dead but she couldn't find any. Everything were just recent magazines and journals. Nothing was older than a year. She sat on the bed with a thud as she tried to recollect if she could remember anything from her past but couldn't, apart from the pictures which Mr. Anderson had shown her as her parents photo, she had no memories of her own. Alot has been happening recently as she rummage her wardrobe this time she was looking for a dress to wear out. She found Axl's behavior strange but had decided to play along with whatever Axl and his father might be playing. She just couldn't believe Axl could change so easily and each time she wanted to trust him, she always remembered how madly he needed the wealth of her father. She had searched the wardrobe for a long time and decided to stay at home when an idea struck her. All these while she had never
She rolled on her bed trying hard to sleep but couldn't at all, she thought of making herself feel better by drinking but she knew it would only worsen the case. Now she was falling head over heels for him and now she's discovering he had been lieing ever since. Who knew if he was only faking love to her, memories flooded back when they had dinner together in the restaurant. He had invited her for dinner as a way of saying thank you after he had been discharged and she couldn't deny the fact that he had made her experienced what she hadn't for a long time. The feeling she got whenever he stared at her or touched her was something she has never felt like before. Then hearing the news that he was never close to Axl and then being his brother were all lies. She couldn't believe he was actually using her to get what he wanted. Was she going to believe all that Rhea and Dementrio had told her? Or what Damien said? There was only one way to find out and that was
Rhea woke up to the horning of a car which she guessed was Cindy's. She wondered how long she had slept, she remembered Dementrio Cooking and then they ate together and she complained of being tired. With Dementrio cuddling her she didn't remember a thing but then she heard a flick which brought her back to reality . Cindy entered with smiles as she was surprised to meet Rhea sitting on the couch, looked like she slept there waiting for her return. ' where are you coming from?' Rhea asked immediately. ' I thought I told you, I went out to have dinner ' she said moving to her room. 'Did you go to have dinner with Damien?'. Her question made Cindy turn to look at her, it was really suspicious. 'Yes, I thought that was what you wanted'. ' The plan was to pretend to love him Cindy, not fall madly in love with him' She yelled . ' Don't blame me Rhea, this was all your plans' Cindy shouted in anger. 'Do you even know who Damien is? you are just
'The first stage of the plan is set' the voice of a middle aged man was heard. ' You know Father, at first I thought this plan wasn't going to work. Now look, everything is falling into place ' Axl answered. The first voice was that of Mr. Anderson. They were in his study, drinking and smoking. ' You were always approaching Cindy the wrong way, a woman should he approached with love ' Mr. Anderson said as he smoked more tobacco. He was dressed up nicely in an expensive suit which was same with his son. They wore the same designers brand but the suit were of different colours. Axl wore a brown suit while his father had a black suit. The duo both looked like they were in a very good mood as they drank, smoked and made merry. ' I have already gotten someone who will do the Job and the the fun is that Cathy won't suspect us if being involved ' Mr Answered said in a mocking laughter. 'You are so cunning and sensible Father' Axl praised
She followed the nurse slowly to the room he was admitted, her heart beating fast. She was really scared but why? They got to the room and the nurse left immediately leaving her in her own fear . She summoned enough courage and entered the room. He was awake and smiled when he saw her which made her feel at ease. ' How are you feeling?' she asked. ' Am feeling alot better' he answered beaming with smiles. She returned his smile as she looked around the room observing with her heart far away from noticing anything there. She felt something was wrong, after passing out in the club , she had been so uneasy. Even when he was admitted into the hospital, she ensured that he was being attended to. It was not until the doctor declared that he was out of danger that she kept calm. She hasn't been so worried sick for a person, especially a guy (whom she claimed she hated). Even when Rhea was sick, she didn't give her half of the attention she
" I called for a long time Rhea, why didn't you take my calls?" The angry Cindy said as soon as the call went through. "Cindy, I didn't see any of your calls" she answered. "Why do you sound so tensed?". " I was under pressure a while ago but am fine now "she answered drying her sweaty face with her palm. She arrived like 30 Minutes ago in the hospital after the incident of Damien fainting In the club. Although the doctors already informed her he was fine and out of danger she still felt scared . ' Meanwhile, Damien is fine and out of danger ' she said trying to avoid eye contact with the nurse at the reception, She felt guilty of a great sin but didn't know what, ' They said he fainted due to shock'. ' Yes, I already know that ' the receiver answered. ' Now could you explain what really went on back at the club?' Cathy asked with a harsh tone, she seem to have forgotten she was once feeling guilty and scared. ' I just wanted to try out something, a
