I was already packing our bags against the next day. I was happy to be going back because I have missed home and also missed my friend. Staying in the hotel for days wasn't easy but at least I had fun and Neil made my stay enjoyable. Ouch! He told me that we would be going to his parents house to see them and he has already promised them that he will bring me to them. I wonder how long we are going to stay there. Neil came out of the bathroom where he went to take his night bath. "Hey babe, hope you enjoyed your bath?""Yeah, the water was hot and good for this cold weather. Are you packing our things already?""Yes, we don't need anything that will delay us." "Hmmm, you are perfect. I can see that you are ready to travel back home.""Why not, I have missed my friend, Sandra especially." "Interesting, remember that we will be visiting my family house very soon." "Yeah,I am aware but we need to rest from our trip before embarking on another trip." "I can just give you two days r
"So you wanted us to see.""Yeah, it's very urgent. I will be giving you…" I dipped my hand inside my bag and brought out seven hundred dollars. "Here, take this as you embark on another job" I placed the money in front of him. He touched it and counted it. "Okay, now you are doing what I expected. So how do we go about the job?""First and foremost, I wouldn't want my mother to hear about this deal and I don't want her to be aware that I gave you some cash.""But she has been in this from the beginning." "Yeah, I know but I don't want to involve her again. This is just between me and you.""It's fine, now let us get into business." "Good! How do we proceed? She mentioned kidnap which is a very good idea but how simple will it be?""Do you have her contact?""Who? Zina?""Yes.""Sure, I have it.""Good because it will be a good idea. I am sure you have never called her with your cell phone.""No, and she doesn't have my number." "Alright, I won't use my line to call her because sh
Someone tapped me on my shoulder, I opened my eyes a little bit because I was in a deep sleep that I didn't know it was dawn. Everything was so blurred that I had to use my hand and wipe my face so that I could open my eyes well. I saw Neil seated beside me and smiling. "Good morning." I said. "Good morning my lovely woman. How was your night?""It was fine." I stretched myself."Breakfast on bed," at first I couldn't believe what he said, till I sat upright and saw a tray with a small cup of coffee and sandwich. I was amazed. "Wow! When did you wake up to prepare for this?""I promised myself to surprise you. You need the rest and I know you would be very tired to go into the kitchen to prepare breakfast." Wow! That was so romantic of him. I never expected this to happen to me. I had no option than to hug him and thank him. I stood up to go and brush my teeth so that my mouth would be fresh as I ate the sumptuous breakfast. I really have a lot to gist with my friend and I can't
"Neil, I just got a call from a woman who used to be my late mom's friend. She is really stranded. Please, I need your permission to allow me to get her to stay with us, by tomorrow she will continue her journey.""Where exactly is she?""She told me that she is at the junction.""The junction before our entrance?""Yes." "This is almost 8:00 p.m and it is risky out there. I think we need to go there together.""You don't have to worry yourself Neil, I can get her myself." I don't know why I felt it was not safe for her to be out there alone. I have to follow her and get the woman. How will I allow her to trek down to the junction and besides the woman must be tired. "If only you knew how to drive. The woman must also be tired of trekking. Let me get my car keys, we are going there together." I know she doesn't want to disturb me but I don't want to listen to her excuses. My dressing was okay, I just picked up my car keys from the table in my room."Alright, let's move." Zina and
I don't even know what is happening. I picked my phone and called Sandra. "Hello Sandra.""Zina, what's wrong? Your voice is not pleasant.""I am fine.""You are fine and you are sounding this way. Where are you?""I am at work in my office.""Okay, I will be there. I know something is wrong and you have to talk to me." I was about telling her not to bother coming but then she ended the conversation. I was busy in my office when I got a call from the receptionist that someone wanted to see me. Of course I knew who the person was and I told her to let the visitor inside. Not quite long, I heard a knock on my door and it was Sandra. "You are welcome.""Thank you. You sounded so distressed on the phone and I had to leave what I was doing to come and see you.""You left your office?""I didn't go to work today. I was actually working from home.""I see… Pascal has really made things comfortable for you.""Let's leave that aside. Talk to me, what's the problem? Did Megan show up again?"
Why did this plan go wrong? I really feel like strangling Neil to death. I know he would be the one to insist on going with her because I know what she can do. I didn't even suspect that Neil would be coming out with her. This plan has failed and now I wonder what they will be thinking. Neil is smarter than Zina and I am sure. He will understand what is going on. I got a notification message from Gabriel. Why does he want to see me? Everything is getting me upset, I don't want to talk to anyone about this unless he has a new development. I quickly got dressed to go and meet him. I was about to leave when my mom asked where I was heading to. "Mom, I am coming back soon. Just want to see a friend at the junction." "I have noticed that you have not been happy since yesterday. What is the problem?""Nothing." I left the house to avoid more stories. I used the location Gabriel sent to me and located him. He was sitting down with three other guys that I have not met before. I was scared
Neil came back that evening because he told me to go home when it's closing time and that he wouldn't have the time to come and pick me up from work. He was looking so neutral unlike other days when he puts up a smiling face or an angry look. "Babe, you are welcome." "Thank you." He moved over to his room while I rushed to the kitchen to microwave his food and make it hot. Neil loves hot food and I have tried to maintain that since I started staying with him. I dished out the food and placed it on the dining table. I waited for a while for him to come out but I didn't see him. I had to summon my courage and moved to his room and knocked. There was no response. I opened the door and found out it was not locked. I saw Neil lying on the bed with his eyes closed. I wondered what could be the problem. I walked closer to him and tapped him on his legs. "Neil, are you okay?"He turned to me and opened his eyes. "Zina, I am fine. I just want to have some rest.""But you can't rest withou
I really don't know why someone would want to treat another person badly all because of love or rather I should say money. Megan has really crossed the boundary and I am really going to deal with her. I think the mother needs to serve punishment for bringing up the suggestion. Imagine what a mother will be advising the daughter. I am really lucky if not I would have married a devil as a wife. Why are women this heartless? It is because of money that Megan has been with me not because she cares about me. I think I need to meet with Megan's mother. This is a serious criminal case. How can a woman think of kidnapping? This is really annoying. I told Zina to stay back at home while I go to the office. I don't want her to know that I have plans of visiting Megan's mother. "I am off to work already." "Won't you eat?" "Not at all, I am not hungry. I have something to catch up with in the office and I have somewhere to go. Just take care of the house." "Alright." I saw her face and
