Glory’s POV cont’d
We got to our rendezvous point which was a cosy house located very close to Idumota.
We both got inside laughing and clinging to each other.
Sam was really happy that I finally accomplished the mission. He unlocked the front door of the house and we both got inside.
I dropped the bag I was carrying on the couch and turned to see Sam grinning at me biting his lips.
There’s no way we’re doing this Sam! I whispered in amidst giggles as I ran up the stairs.
He rolled his eyes and picked up the bag running closely behind me. We got into the room and I turned on the lights.
The room was filled with multiple computer screens some plastered on the wall while others were on the tables in the room making it look like the computer labs in Hollywood movies.
I pressed a single button and all the screens came alive at once as the booting process began. By now, Sam had set the bag down and was emptying out it’s contents which were the flash drives I’d gotten out of the safes.
He helped me with the setup without saying a word. I kept stealing quick glances at him from time to time. He looked a little upset but he knows that we are not supposed to mix business with pleasure.
He went over to the new empty couch and plunged himself in as he started making the relevant calls while I tried seeing how I could get the information from the drives.
When he was done, he came over to where I was sitting to take a look at what I was working on. I felt his warm breath on my neck. This won’t let me concentrate one bit. I turned around to look at him who was pretending to be so caught up with the information on the screen.
‘Let’s do this real quick and get back to work shall we? I asked with a smile playing on my lips.
‘Say please’ He says twisting his face in mock annoyance.
‘Pretty pleeease..’ I said pouting like a little girl.
(I’ll fill you in on the details later on)
Marie’s POV
Lately, Diamond and I have not really been talking much. She seemed really upset about what I said the other day.
She kinda kept her distance from me. She wouldn’t eat when I ate or watch TV with me like we used to and Jude wasn’t back for days now. I’m guessing he must have jumped ship abandoning me to my fate.
I felt so alone. I mean, Diamond was my only friend here now she doesn’t want to even look me in the eye.
I’m currently sitting in the living room watching a movie that I wasn’t even enjoying.
Suddenly the front door flung open revealing Diamond and a guy walking behind her. He had his hand in hers as she was dragging him into the room amidst loud laughter.
They stopped in their tracks when they saw me in the room. I took a closer look at the guy who resembled some kind of gangster rapper.
He had tattoos covering the exposed part of his arms and neck, multiple chains on his neck and long dreadlocks on his head as well as a little diamond earring in one of his ears. I wonder who he is to her.
‘Marie meet Travis, my boyfriend and Travis meet his wife’ She said in a baby ish voice which earned a scoff from the boyfriend.
‘Hi’ I greeted trying my best not to look at any of them in particular. I would have never guessed that this were the type of guys Diamond was into.
The look on the guy’s face clearly showed that he was really upset. He walked closer to where I was clenching his fist and jaws like he was coming to hit me. I flinched and shifted nervously on my seat.
‘Calm down angry bird’ Diamond intervened wrapping her hands around his waist from behind. She whispered some words into his ear and his facial expression softened as she dragged him up the stairs while never taking his eyes off me.
I held my chest to prevent my fast beating heart from falling out of my chest. Was that thug going to hit me? I’m guessing him and Jude are enemies.
This is freaking me out a lot. I just hope that my dad and Francis can get me out of here before these people and their enemies drop me in a body bag.(God forbid)
I was still stuck in the same position as I was when they left me when they came down the stairs again wearing matching clothes. Thugger had his hand on her waist and eyes on me. I felt so scared as he glared at me and I quickly dropped my gaze to the floor.
😟 About Two Hours Later 😟
I was still in the sitting room watching TV when a knock resounded on the front door. One of the maids rushed into the room and opened the door.
Some men in suit came into the room. They were from Jude’s father and came here to fetch me. I got upstairs to change up and returned a moment later following them out into one of the waiting cars. In a sec, the convoy drove out of the compound and got on the road.
After a long drive, we got to their family house. I remembered it from the day of the wedding planning stuff when Jude had brought me here. I alighted from the car running my eyes around the surroundings.
The flowers smelled nice but I didn’t have much time to appreciate it as the guards motioned for me to follow them inside.
I was taken into one of the small sitting rooms and sat down anxiously waiting for Jude’s father to come out. Curiosity was eating me up already. What does he possibly want to say to me?
I sat there running my eyes round the room. It looked nice but as you already know, affluence is nothing new to me. I’m a billionaire’s daughter.
Jude’s father came in a while later wearing an all white attire. I stood up and greeted him respectfully.
He replied and motioned for me to sit down as he also did same giving me that same lustful stare making me shift uncomfortably in my seat.
‘Actually, I called you here because I want to tell you that you are a very beautiful girl’ He said leaking his lips.
I was shocked to the marrow!! WTH??? This old man is totally crazy.
He stood up from his seat and sat beside me and I quickly shifted away from him.
‘Your mother and I are no longer together, so I thought I should have fun with you instead as your fresher, younger and sexier’ he added shifting closer to me trying to touch me.
I jumped up from the sofa in rude shock. This old man has lost it.
‘Im your son’s wife dammit’ I yelled out loud.
‘But he’s not here now baby’ he said in a pleading voice.
So disgusting. I felt like throwing up immediately. He’s calling me baby? Gross!!!
I turned around and walked hurriedly towards the door but he grabbed me by the waist from behind and dragged me violently trying to lay me down on the couch.
I managed to yank myself free from his hold. He tried to hold me again but I slapped him hard on the face and his vision went black. He cowered and fell on the floor lying on his back. I kicked him in the groin and he yelped as he fell on the floor writhing in pain.
‘Shame on you dirty old man’ I yelled angrily and ran out of the room as he still lay there on the floor groaning in pain.
I got out of the room and finally located the main living room where I met the men in suit who were more than they were before.
As soon as I got into the room, an alarm went off and I realized that I won’t have anyway to get out of here if they find out what I’ve done.
I tried to get to the door but I was immediately grabbed violently from behind by one of the men.
‘Let me go!!’ I yelled helplessly as I tried to wriggle free from his hold but he was too strong.
One of the men who had gone in to check on Jude’s father came out and gave me a slap in the face.
‘Take her away and deal with her mercilessly!’ He ordered and the guy carried me hanging on his shoulder and took me out of the house. I kept screaming and hitting his muscular back but to no avail.
