Nasha’s new life at Polperro was becoming more interesting. She garnered the fragment that she was and turned it into an exquisite fine art.Her glowing becomes anew by the day as her flawless skin shines effortlessly. She had many office assistants; distinguishing her position as the director general of Nasha's Special Taste.Though she had forgotten the pains of being rusticated from school and the pains of being accused wrongly, but one thing she couldn’t forget was George’s nonchalance about her whereabouts. She loved him very much and she had thought he did love her as well. But as the saying goes, love is tested when one is in trouble. However, in her case, George had supported and stood by her beyond doubt.And even if he decided to withdraw his support from her, she would still be grateful for the times that he was with her. Star was the only person that she had reached out to since she moved to Polperro. Star had promised to come to check on her by the next week and sh
“I’ve missed you”. She spoke softly, winked her green lovely eyes romantically, then used one of her figures to draw a heart symbol on his chest. “I’ve missed you a lot, my love”He snorted as he drew her close to his body then gently caressed her hair as he planted multiple kisses on it. “I don’t want this to end now. I want you by my side till death. I love you beyond words, Nasha.”He whispered in a shaky quiet voice as his lips trembled and his breath beats faster like the tick of a clock. “I love you more than life itself, George. I would have ended it all but the thought of you is what keeps me alive! “He declared, staring right into his eyes like a mother convincing her child to believe in something. Then he cast his eyes on the ground as he began to scribble meaningless images. And the next minute, he said, “Would you leave me for him? Do you still feel for him? “Her eyes startled and the hairs on her body stretched as her veins popped. “Who are
Nasha returned to London on the following day. But the streets of London, particularly Oxford seem to have acquired a certain newness in her eyes other than what it used to be. It has become more busier, noisy, and congested as throngs walked on the pedestrian like snails and cars zoomed on the road like cheetahs. Amid the hustle and bustle, a pungent filled the air, making her breath became stiff. Then she covered her nose with her palms as she opened her mouth to inhale and exhale air. She hastily increased her pace as she walked past the hordes. Though she had arrived in the night, she could still see different beautiful street lights glittering in the atmosphere. Nasha took a few steps and began to hear some music from the popular disco jockey playing in the upper house. The music sounds was loud and mellifluous at the same time and she couldn’t help than to dance to the beat of it, stylishly. When she crossed over to the other side of the street leading to George’s house,
“I should have known that Richardson is this way! But why would he kill Vincent and Tasha? Does he have any business with them? I can’t believe that I dated a beast! Gosh!!! “She soliloquized and hissed twice as she placed her hands on her head like a farmer whose harvest was unfruitful. She couldn't sit or stand at a spot for a minute rather she walked from one side to the other, taping her feet on the ground like a night ghost on heels, on the quest for revenge. What she was having at that moment was a blah. She was furious at herself; furious for trusting so easily, for trusting Richardson that much. But how on Earth would she believe that someone whom she had shared an intimate moment with, would attempt to frame her? Impossible! That didn't make sense anyway cos Richardson she knew may be abusive but she didn't think that he was capable of killing. But how would she talk George into seeing Richardson without him thinking that she still had feelings for him? However,
It was a snowy morning, the streets of London were filled with solid snow, and thus everywhere was freezing. George pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lightened it up with a grill lighter. He puffed despondently as he intently studied the map on the table. He used his figure to draw a vertical line; connecting Oxford and Bristol hallways, where the kidnappers had asked him to come. George finished the first cigarette, then lightened up the second one and when he was about to grab the third cigarette, he looked at his wall clock as he discovered that it was already noon. “Gosh!!! This weather can be deceptive”. he muttered as he quickly got dressed and arranged some pounds Sterling in the briefcase. Then he brought out his phone and dialed Fredrickson's number, it buzzed twice but he didn’t pick up then as he redialed the number, he picked up and said, “Hello, coolest dude.” Then he grinned and said, “Hello Fred. Man, don’t flatter me, there’s a big trouble. Please, come
“I was so scared that I’m gonna lose you…. I’m glad that you came back safe. The boy told me… told me that you were taken away by those thugs. “He shuttered amid tons of tears. Then she replied “It’s ok, my love. It wasn’t your fault. They came unawares. They didn’t even say that I did something wrong. They all covered their faces with masks. And…… and they took me to a gigantic building and ordered me not to turn to them. They offered me food but I rejected it and they finally took me to St Mary’s Hospital.” She snickered in pain but she held her breath a bit to suppress the incessant tears.George glancingly saw that, then he requested that they get into the room. Of all the things that Nasha explained, “They covered their faces with masks” was what baffled him the most. They weren’t criminals and if they were, they would have seized her phone, and releasing her so soon, didn’t show any signs of professionalism in kidnapping. However, he swallowed his doubts as he focus
“Hello, man. Please, we need to talk. It’s urgent. I’ll meet you in the office.” He said snappily, then hung up. George returned to the room to inform Nasha that he would be going to see a friend. “My love, I'd be back shortly. I have an appointment with Fredrickson.”He kissed her on the forehead before she could say a word. Then she clinched into his arms as his kiss sent chills into her stomach. She never wanted him to leave but he gently ungirded her arms from his body and then left immediately. His pace was a bit swift as he hopped into his car and started driving to Frederickson’s office then arrived at the office after some minutes drive as he barged into his office without showing some courtesy like a gentleman he was. Then Frederickson was taken aback at the manner his door was thrust open. But his face became brightened on seeing that it was George. “Hey man, what happened this time? You didn’t even notify me gently in your usual manner that you have arrived.
She was seen running swiftly in that lonely street, evening like a victim of robbery circumstances; battling with bunches of watery snots that flow rapidly. But of course, she was a victim of ill fate. She couldn’t just fathom why things and people were always against her. And even when it seems that things were beginning to fall in place for her, it would always revert to what could be called a near-success syndrome. Fate had brought her out from the hands of that discourteous person called Richardson and placed her in good hands, it seems that the universe had answered a prayer she didn’t even utter and even though it happened at the wrong time.But now everything has crumbled. She saw her life as a messy one. She detested every bit of her existence. She felt to end it all so that she could be free from all the wanton troubles. Though it was disgustingly drizzling but she never stopped running. And even if one should ask her where she was heading, she would say nothing rat
The ancient rock is lovely and colourful though lonely. On the left-hand side was a beautiful building, the single and lonely building where George and Nasha stayed before her disappearance. “This is the place. It’s on this spot that they disappeared”. George sobbed and pointed at the place to Fred. “It’s ok. You don’t have to do this. Man up, bro. We will find her.” Fred assured as he took the lead and they hastily ransacked the inside and outside of the building. However, when they couldn’t find anything in the building, they resolved to follow the lonely tick path, and that path was filled with thorns. So they narrowly walked through the lonely path amid the pierces they got from the thorns. And even though it hurt immensely, they persevered until they reached the topmost of the rock. And there, they saw a heap of smoke coming out from a tiny hole. So they thought that it could be one of those bush hunters that would have lightened up the fire but on a second thou
The journey to the ancient rock was seventy-two hours. So while George was driving, Nasha was sleeping. And when he drove a bit, he would slow down and check if she was alright. So considering the distance of the place, George decided to lodge at the only hotel on that lonely highway.He alighted at the hotel by 8 pm then he left Nasha in the car as he reached the reception. “Excuse me, Miss. I need a good room for me and my fiancée.” George said to the receptionist. “ Welcome, Sir. Here’s the key for room 205, it’s very spacious and I hope you will like it.” The receptionist smilingly responded. George collected the key and thanked her snappily as he returned to the car and tapped Nasha to wake from sleep. “My love, my love, please wake up.” He said as Nasha opened her eyes. “Where are we?”She queried amid the grogginess. Then George smiled and replied, “We are in a hotel. We should spend a night here then we will continue our journey tomorrow. It’s v
So George got up from his seat and went to the cell and instructed the warder to bring him out. “Bring him to bail office.” “Yes, Sir.” The warder replied as he proceeded to unlock the cell. And as he unlocked the cell, he thundered at him, “Come out now!”So Richardson came out and was led to the bail office. “Remove those cuffs from his hands,” George said to the warder and he did as he commanded. Then he turned to Richardson and said, “Sit down and sign these papers”.So he sat down as he avoided looking at his uncle’s face and when he was done signing the undertaking, George said to him,“Learn to be a good man Stop causing trouble”. But he smirked and left abruptly and even when his uncle was catching up with him, he walked faster than ever as he hopped into a taxi, parked by the roadside. “Move now!” he ordered the driver then he turned on the engine of the car and drove off after a while, he asked him for his directions but he answered rudely,“Move this car! Do not ask
What do we do now?” She queried after cleaning the blood on his body.Then he snarled, “Allow me to heal first please!”So Nasha dressed the wound as she proceeded to give him a pain relief medicine. “Take this, drink it, you will get better. “Star shakily sat up as he said peeking at her face, “Where do you get that?” “It has been in my bag since I arrived here”. She snapped.Then he nodded as he collected the medicine and swallowed it as he slept off after a few minutes. But before that, he instructed that Nasha should remain in the cave regardless of the intensity of any sound. So she remained in there as she sat quietly, holding her breath with her hands as she heard many footsteps, stepping on the cave. However, while Star was still sleeping, Nasha rose from where she sat to the kitchen part of the cave, to prepare the food that they would eat before he woke up. But while she was cutting the veggies, the sharp knife that she was holding, blushed and cut one of her finger
**********************So Star sailed back to the island and quickly carried Nasha to the hut and lay her on the bed as he applied hot stuff on her body. George had been trying to reach Nasha ever since she left for the unknown destination but the terrible server couldn’t let him.However, when he opened his laptop, the signal of the watch that Nasha wore; which was connected to his laptop, showed danger. He could see the location at a very far distance but it was a little blurry then his heart sank as he quickly called his teams to inform them to get ready to search for her the next day. “Fred, I am getting too worried. Her phone number has been switched off and her watch is showing danger signals. I don’t want to think that something bad has happened to her.”“Calm down, she’s fine. I believe so” Fred said over the phone then George snapped, “We will go in search of her tomorrow, inform others!”He hung up as he walked to and fro tensely. Nasha became conscious around
Please, wait. Please, wait! “ Nasha pleaded as she ran after him. But he was already in the hut. So when Nasha entered the hut, she saw him sitting on the wooden settee wearing a scrunched face. “What is it? Did my question annoy you?” She queried while standing arm crossed. But as silence enveloped the room for a few minutes, then he said, “No. I’m just having mood swings. Perhaps, you should learn to ask me questions when I’m in a good mood. “Nasha swallowed her word and nodded then turned around and left the hut. She walked to the island coconut tree where there was sufficient shade, then she sat down and brought out her phone from her combat Jean pocket then attempted dialing George’s number but she realized that the network server was fluctuating. She hissed as she stared into the space sorrowfully. And whatsoever attitude the man that brought her to the island exhibited, was what she didn’t want to bother her as her major concern was to see Star and then do the
“Alright, dear team members. Thank you very much for your time. And I sincerely apologize if you found her responses offensive.” George said as he moved from his seat and began to shake his colleagues. But they smiled and said “No problems. We understand.” Then George excused himself and ran to catch up with Nasha. Nasha got to her apartment and threw herself on the bed as she stared at the ceiling. She wasn’t having it well with George’s behavior and she had a rethink that the man that she knew was not the same again. However, she shut her eyes, to force herself to sleep but then George arrived and disrupted her with his knocks. “Who is there? Do you want to break the door?” She yelled as she got up pronto and reached for the door. So when she unbolted the door and saw that it was George, she turned and returned to lie on the bed. “My love, what is it? Why were you yelling at me? Who else would have come here if not for me? “ George said as he moved close to where she
Richardson punched the wall severally and ceaselessly and blood started gushing out from his knuckle, his house help rushed and stopped him from injuring himself anymore. “Stop it, Sir. Please, stop.”She clenched her arms around his waist like a woman participating in tug of war until she dragged him out from the wall and both of them fell on the grass floor. Richardson stood up and dusted the dirt on his body then ran to the bathroom and grabbed a tissue as he hastily cleaned up the blood. As he raised his face, he saw his battered looks in the wall mirror, as hot sweat ran out from his head and dropped to his face. He cleaned it and spat inside the sink then declared, “I can’t be defeated! No, I can’t! I must fight to finish!”Then he reached the bedroom picked up his phone and dialed Don’s number. And within a second, the phone buzzed as Don’s voice echoed to his end, “Hello Chair, our plans remain the same, we will execute them tonight.”“Don, please listen.
“What do you think that you are doing?” George thundered. Richardson grinned as he lifted the remaining bottle and was about to smash it But Nasha out of furiousness slapped his face and howled, “Have you gone nut? For how long are you going to continue with this madness? Haven’t I made it clear to you that we are no longer a thing? But we can be good friends. Yes, we can!” Richardson dropped the bottle and laughed sarcastically as he said, “Hehehehe…., You ingrate! Go on and tell me that you are not! Where were your so-called lover boy when I sent my boys to rescue you from the hands of that beast? But here you are, smiling and making merry with him. I should have known that you are an unforgivable person; that you won’t consider me again, I would have walked away long ago.And you bastard”, he turned to George, “I will make life a living hell for you since you have vowed to have her”. Then he turned and walked out of the bar. While Nasha teared up George tried to pacify
