Compliments of the season dear readers. I wish you every best wish you wish for yourselves. I am privileged to have your patronage. Have a blissful festive period. Love you all.
Jason could not say anything on the way home. He was still shocked at having seen Rebecca again. He had alot of questions , that he needed answers to but his pride had made him leave her there and gone home with Phoebe. Rebecca must have laughed him to scorn thinking that he had run off like a coward because he couldn't face her. He wondered why he had not waited a little bit and asked the questions that had been eating him up inside.He didn't know what became of Terry with who she had run off with and why she felt she had to do all that she had done to him.He had thought that he was over her but having come face to face with her, he was not sure anymore but he was damned if he was going to let her have any inkling of his confused emotions.He knew that he had to speak to Phoebe to explain some things to her. It was not fair to be silent this way but he just could not help it. It felt like his past had come back to haunt him.'Oh God, she was so beautiful', he thought to himself. Mo
Phoebe went out and was going to call one of her numerous lovers but as she walked, a young man made cat calling noises at her. She did not feel insulted but waited, till the young man walked up to her.'What is the problem young man?' she asked.The man looked at her and loved the sight before his eye. She had not really taken off her dress and it was daring.'You are lovely', he said.'What are you going to do about it?' she asked.'Well, would you like to go off some place with me?''Do you have any place in mind?''Not exactly. But the situation can be remedied'. he said smiling lasciviously.Phoebe normally didn't do that but since they were just a stone throw from her house, she decided to take him to her apartment. She was already wet. The feeling of anger and frustration, fuelling her desire.'I have a better idea. Come!'The man followed her obediently and in less than two minutes, they were inside Phoebe's apartment.The young man kicked the door shut and tore her dress off
Jason got home that night in a state of turmoil. He didn't know what to do. If Rebecca was to be believed, he had not married Terry after running up with him and getting him to sign the divorce papers he signed and getting the lump sum she had got out of divorcing him.She had also not married any other person because like she said, her freedom meant more to her than being trapped in marriage to any man.Therefore she might just not be after him. She might just want them to just be friends but the question was if he could afford to be friends with her? She had hurt him badly and nearly rendered bim bankrupt but that was not the issue. He had been destroyed when she deserted him and she was back and he found that he didn't really hate her as much as he thought that he did. In fact,he had enjoyed those few moments with her this evening and had to run off before his feelings betrayed him. Then how could he remain detached if they came close?But she had not even asked to be friends wit
'I'm sorry. I didn't know how that happened. I must have forgotten myself'. Jason said. He was not sorry. Not one bit. He had enjoyed the kiss more than he had thought possible. He had forgotten that she was pregnant and could go back to the father of her baby at anytime.He had just wanted to have her to himself. This was what he had been afraid of. That was why he had been avoiding her but found that he had run into what he had been running from.'It's okay. You needed comfort and if I have been able to provide you with that no matter how momentarily, then I am happy. It is the least I could do for you for all you have done for me', she said smiling, with trembling lips.Jason cursed himself when he saw that. He must have scared the hell out of the girl but he had been unable to resist those lips of hers and her eyes that begged to be loved. But he was disappointed by her words but what had he expected that she would be over the moon by his kiss?But he was not happy that she only f
Nancy virtually ran to her quarters. She could not understand why she was reacting this way. Why had Jason's kiss affected her the way it had? She thought that everything concerning romantic feelings were no longer for her. She had schooled her body not to feel and had succeeded so far and why not given what she had been through and with her struggle for survival but one single kiss had made her wild.She had lied about it being her way of comforting Jason but she knew that was not entirely the truth. She had enjoyed the kiss and had wanted it to continue and it was only because of her shock at her wanton behaviour that she had pushed him away regretfully.Even now, her body was still tingling from the effect of that kiss. She had not been kissed so deliciously that way. Not even with Rodney had she felt her inhibitions give way that easily.She had become intimate with Rodney to prove to him that she loved him. She had not really been ready to do that otherwise. She had thought that
Rebecca came out of her hiding place as soon as Jason left the house of the woman he had brought to the luncheon.She did not know the reason she felt that she should follow them. Jason was normally very observant and she had taken care not to be seen by him as she tailed them but it had not been too hard. It would seem that he had been busy smooching the girl in the car while driving which was very unlikely. Jason was a very cautious man when it came to driving. He observed all the rules of safe driving, unless of course he had suddenly changed since the last they saw.But if not, then he must be very distracted or bothered about something and she hoped it was because of her.She had expected him to ell at her, be angry but she had been surprised at the civil way he had handled seeing her again after the way they had parted and she was sure their parting had really hurt him.Could the reason for his obvious nonchalance be because he no longer cared for her let alone love her? Or mayb
Nancy did not know if she should be happy or disappointed that Jason had gone ahead to the office without her. She found out that she felt both emotions.She was happy that she didn't have to face him that morning after the events of the previous night. The kiss that is. But she was disappointed because she had wanted to know what he would say about it and how he would react to seeing her that morning and to tell this truth, she had wanted to stay close to him as they drove to the office. She missed their friendly chatter.She consoled herself with the thought that they were going to see each other at the office in any case.She got the driver to drive her to the office. She was growing used to her new life style and could not have asked for more. She had a comfortable dwelling place, friendly people surrounded her both at the office and at home. She had a good, well paying job and though her boss was a perfectionist, he was not a bad boss at all but ....She must make sure that the k
'Good morning Jason ', Rebecca greeted her ex husband smiling willingly.'Good morning Rebecca. What is the meaning of this?''The meaning of what?':What are you doing here in my office? Did you have an appointment? Or have you forgotten that this is an office? And there are rules to be followed here?' he asked barely controlling himself.'I didn't know that such rules applied to me as well. It didn't in the past. I could come visit it at will'.'In the past being the operating word. That was in the past. Now, you have lost all right to come here at will. You were my wife and could come here as you pleased but you are no longer my wife. In fact you are someone else's wife and you should book an appointment before coming to see me and your reason for wanting an appointment with me should be valid and by that I mean business and formal and never personal. Now why are you here?''You have not even asked me to be seated. Is that how you treat your clients?''Rebecca, I am a very busy man
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.
