'Oh Chris, you are here. Watch the children. I will be right back'.Chris nodded but Jason did not even see his nod but was already on his way towards Nancy's quarters.Chris knew that it was possible that Jason would take a while before returning.One of the reasons these two love birds quarrel frequently was because they were feeling starved if each other's love, attention and company.They might not admit it but they wanted to desperately make love to each other and express their love for each other in many ways without inhibition.Chris shook his head. If only people would just state what they wanted sincerely. Life would be much easier.He went and started playing with his children.Jason got to her quarters just as she was about to shut the door.As soon as she saw him, she hastened to shit the door in his face but he put his foot in and it stop the door from shutting.He pushed the door open,went in with her and then shut the door.'What are you doing here? Are you through ins
Nancy cried and cried. She could not believe that she had allowed herself to be humiliated this way.What was it with her that she could not think rationally anytime Jason came close to her?She had virtually fallen into his arms. So he was right in calling her surrender to her attention by reminding her of her denial.She slept and when she woke, she concentrated on looking for a dress that would flatter her as she went in her date with Alfred.He had been jealous when she had done nothing with Alfred.Now, she was going to give him something to be jealous about.When they got back from their day out, Nancy knew because the children ran to her quarters chatting excitedly about all they did and their experiences.Nancy convinced them later to go in, have a bath to wash off the dirt, eat if they felt like it and have a nap.She read a little till it was time for her to get dressed.She brought out the dress she had chosen, silvery ash gown, sleeveless, flared from the breast line down
Alfred led Nancy to the floor where other couples were dancing.Nancy stole a glance at Jason from under her lashes and saw that he had an ugly frown on his face.It gave her a kind of satisfaction.The music was slow and as they danced, Alfred drew her closer and whispered something in her ears.She was not amused but she laughed and said 'Thank you', because she was determined to make Jason sweat.Without seeming to look his way, she stole a glance Jason's way again and seeing that he was still looking their way with murder in his eyes, she moved closer to Alfred, her hands went round his neck and she whispered something in his ears as well.Alfred smiled his thanks at the compliment she paid him.He tipped her face up and looked deeply into her eyes with Nancy praying that he does not kiss her. She was not attracted to him that way. She said something to divert his attention and rested her head on his shoulder. That way, she avoided being kissed by him and at the same time did not
Pregnant?'Alfred, did you anything I said at all? You are so quiet'.Pregnant? How? It was definitely not Campbell's going by what she had said then whose could it be?Nancy did not look to him like someone who was promiscuous but then one could never tell but maybe there was a story behind the pregnancy.'Alfred?''Yes? Yes, I heard all that you said but you must either have a very tiny stomach or else you know how to camouflage the pregnancy. I could never have guessed. But tell me, If Jason is not the father, who then is?''He is someone you do not know and I do not want to involve you in this. It is really complicated', she said tired of telling people the origin of her pregnancy.'Were you in love with him?''At the time, I thought that I was. He was my very first. But I didn't know that behind his persistent pursuit of me and his determination to make me fall for him was all a farce. It was aimed at getting between my thighs.When he realised I was pregnant, he asked me to abor
Rodney seeing that they had stood knew that they were ready to leave. He went out first to where he had parked the car he had rented for this purpose. He had intentionally not come with his own car.He drove close to where he saw the young man park his own car so that what he had in mind would be easily achieved.He left the car on and waited with a hood hiding his face.Alfred and Nancy left the place holding hands and smiling at each other like great friends but Jason who was staring at them felt that they were looking and smiling at each other like lovers who could not wait to get under each other's pants.He had a murderous glint in his eye.'Not on my watch!' he thought to himself. He was going to make sure Alfred took Nancy home this instant. They were not going to go anywhere else if he had anything to say about it.Being so occupied, he did not notice anything amiss. His focus was just on the couple he was guarding.As Alfred opened the door to Nancy and she was about to step
Rodney had been silent all this while watching the road and Jason alternatively. He was anxious because he knew that Nancy must be in grave danger but not wanting to antagonize Jason by asking any unwarranted questions.But after a while, he could not keep quiet any longer.'What car type are we looking for?' he asked.'I don't know '.'Please tell me, two pairs of eyes are most definitely better than a pair. I am as bothered as you about the plight of Nancy especially in her condition'.Jason had wanted to shout at him to stop pestering him but his words surprised him. First he spoke the truth about the pair of eyes but that was not f he knew what car to look for but he didn't and it was making him feel helpless and useless which are not the type of feelings he relished.Secondly, he was amazed that Alfred had noticed Nancy's pregnancy and had still gone out on a date with her. This could only mean that his feelings for her ran deep. Deeper than he had envisaged or was Nancy the one
'The question now is how do we get to London now? Is it possible to book a plane or what do you think?' Alfred asked thinking chaotically.'Except he was sure of the success of his operation, I do not think that he booked a return ticket. If I didn't know better, I'd think that someone close to me is helping him.Also, they couldn't have gone that far, he or the thug he hired may decide to stay somewhere, in a hotel or something and plan to leave the next day. How to find the hotel is what we have to determine'. Jason said, deep in thought.'I wanted to ask if there is a member of your family or circle of friends who does not approve of Nancy who could want to assist Rodney?''My sister likes Nancy but does not want me to get closer to her than necessary because if her pregnancy. She does not know who the father is but she is of the opinion that sooner or later, the father might just come to claim the baby abd if she and I are in any deep commitment, it might cause some problems, so s
Rodney drove into the house that he had prepared for an emergency occasion such as this one.Nancy was still struggling but feeling whimsy and trying not to throw up had taken its toil on her that as soon as he got her out of the car, and the cool night air touched her, she threw up. Heaving painfully.It weakened her. Rodney dragged her into the house. If she were asked to describe the way to this out of the way house, Nancy would not have been able to do that because she had not been concentrating on that. She had seen Jason's car behind them and had nursed the hope that he would catch up with them but Rodney had lost him and switched the cars and she had not seen Jason anymore. That was when she felt her hope dash I to tiny pieces.She would have attacked Rodney but someone had been in the car waiting for them as the switch was made and that was why it had been swift before Jason could get there and this person, who she supposed must be one of his goons had held a gun to her all th
Josephine was already six and a big girl. She helped in taking care of her siblings.Yes, Nancy gave both to a set of twins. Both boys not long after Josephine came back home and they were three years old and terrorizes them in the house. Thank goodness for their elder sister who try to keep them in line.Nancy had thought that she would stay a bit longer before allowing herself to get pregnant again but since she and Jason could hardly keep their hands of each other, she soon found that she was pregnant again and had just given birth to a beautiful girl.'Get ready for another set of twins', Jason joked one day and Nancy threw a pillow playfully at him.'You think it is easy carrying them in the womb for nine months and then the ordeal at the hospital to get them out?'Jason hugged her lovingly. 'I know all that and I shall forever be indebted to you. I never thought I could be this happy. You have brought untold joy into my life and I can assure you that I am very grateful''You hav
Mattias took her to the new venue praying that he would still be in the men's trusted books.Like he had foretold, the security was tighter.But raising his hands and asking the ma'am to do the same, they were able to get within some inches of the place.'Comrades', Mattias calked cheerfully. 'I am the ma'am came back from prison where we had gone to see the boss and he had ordered that the little girl be sent back to her parents and that was why we came here to get her. I didn't know that she was to come with me, she was supposed to have stayed at home while I brought the girl to her but she has trust issues because she has not had dealings with us before. She does not know that there is loyalty amongst thieves'.But if that is the case why did you give us the prompt to vacate the place immediately?''The reason is because I was shocked that she had followed me to this place but she is our boss' wife afterall and it's her prerogative. If not for the fact that it will be somewhat risk
As soon as Mattias came out from the prison, Rodney's wife followed him. She was cunning and made sure he did not realise that he was followed.She followed him to a place where she was sure they were keeping Josephine.As soon as he entered, she sneeked in after him and then she saw the girl and those guarding her.'Mattias, who is this woman with you?'Mattias looked back only to find the boss' wife behind him. How had she followed him without him being aware of it? He felt that the boss was going to do away with him because considering what the woman had in mind for the little girl, the boss would never forgive him for such a skip and would haunt him down to the lowest of the underworld to get him and extract his pound of flesh from him.'Ma'am, what is the problem? If you needed something, you could have asked me for it and I would have supplied it''Mattias, who is she?''She is the boss' wife'.'Welcome ma'am, we didn't know that the boss would send you to such a place as this'.
Rodney, called Mattias and told him what he had decided.Mattias who had not felt very comfortable kidnapping a child was happy that his boss had reached such a noble decision as to give the child back to her parents.He wished though that he had made that decision before the deed was actually done. Taking the child back now was going to take all his wit's because he knew that there were searches everywhere for them. He had barely managed to take the girl out in the first place.'How does she look?' Rodney asked curious for the first time to know how Josephine looked.'I must say that she is going to be a most stunning woman. I pity the men. She will cause alot of heart break. She has dark hair and same colour of eyes as you. Now that I think of it, she looks so much like you'.Rodney smiled. It made him happy that his daughter looked more like him than her mother. It made him burst with male pride and made him more determined to do right by her.They were still talking when his wife
She could not believe what she was hearing and wondered what kind of fish brain the man she had married had.How could he allow someone to know the plan he was making even before he made it? What had given him such confidence ?She had known that Rodney was capable of doing what Nancy had said even without the threat he had made. He had alot of men of questionable behaviour which she was only starting to know since the court case, who were working for him. He could easily ask one of them to do his dirty jobs while he pretended in oven e in prison.'If what you have said is true, then the best place for you to have gone is the Prison. Go there and speak to him. Most probable, your tears would do what nothing else can do. I am a woman and I believe that he is still fascinated with you no matter how he tries to pretend that that isn't so'.'God forbid it!' Nancy said before she realised herself. 'I am really sorry. I forgot myself for a moment'.'For what? You just expressed your emotion
Nancy had been hiding her panic and impatience except for her occasional request to be told of the progress of the search that had been organized for her child.She could bear no more. It was close to a week now since Josephine was abducted. She feared to consider what may have been done to her or what miserable condition she had been kept.She had consoled herself with the belief that her biological father must have given instructions that no one should harm his child but she had no real faith in that assumption.The man was a beast and would not mind doing away with anyone or anything that stood in the way of what he wanted even if that person was his own child.Afterall, he had not wanted this particular child and had gone out of his way to terminate her life, what guarantee did she have that her suffering would touch him on any way?She had not been able to sleep well at night and that she managed to eat was because of the life growing in her She did not want to punish it for the
Jason walked home dejected He knew that he had no evidence that Richmond was behind his daughter's abduction but he knew that he was the brain behind it all. He masterminded the whole operation. All his threat had gone unheeded. He had not even boasted of being responsible because he had come prepared for any contingencies like recording his confessions,boasts and threats but he had been surprisingly in control of his emotions and why not, he must feel in charge nowImagine him congratulating Jason on his wedding to Nancy. 'It had made the papers and news for weeks on end. You have it all now, a wife- a doting wife and a child and soon more children'.It would have flattered him to hear that but it had not brought joy be ause he had also mocked him. 'I hope for this recklessness of yours, Nancy never gives you peace and the marriage that you thought would bring you happiness, let it turn out to bring you misery'.And he was indeed miserable since Josephine had gone missing. Nancy ha
The police did not find anything the previous day and we're going to continue their search of cars that dayVery early that morning, Jason set out to the prison where Rodney was serving term He had been there for about Two years and out of the twenty five years he was given, he was going to be out on parole in the next three years for good behaviour.He had masterminded that because once he had been convicted, there was nothing his wife could do except for him to follow the advice of his lawyer to act well so that he would be paroled.The prison Warden came to tell him that he had a visitor.' Male or female?''Male. What would you want to do with a female in your state?'He wanted to give him a punch on the mouth. Must he have any lascivious intentions towards any female that came to visit him? Couldn't his wife visit? Though not surprising, his wife seemed to have abandoned him. She was already paying him back in kind by having male companions when he was free since revealing her t
The car drive off in high speed. The man considered this the most dangerous job he had ever done and praised himself for coming out of it successful.He had never had to abduct a child before and that too in the presence of her parents.He wouldn't say the parents were careless. How could they have known that their child was not safe in their own premises? The child had wandered out and he had been keeping watch over the house for close to a month now and felt that he knew the grounds. He had not expected to kidnap the girl that day but luck had been with him and it was though his spirit had called out to the girl and the girl had stroll down to his path and he could not believe his luck. He had called her and she had refused to come close to him at first,then he had said he was friends to her dad and mum and where could he find them?She had relaxed then and trusting as the child that she was had pointed towards her mum and dad, while her attention was diverted, He had carried her.
