In utter shock, his palm came over his mouth, his gaze was fixed. Strength completely left him as he slumped down on his knees, his silent tears flowed. Osagie... It barely escape his throat, tears sting his eyes. Right on his kneels, he approached what was before him hoping that by the time he got beside him, this obvious reality might become his worst imagination. Osagie, what happened? Ethel muttered as he reached out aη∂ touched the face that was now.deathly cold. Lord almighty! He exclaimed.ohh...? He exhaled a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ sobbed “ohh my ...my brother, ℓ̊ thought was going to die before you... His tears flowed. What happen to our simultaneous dreams, what happens to the wedding we intend to have on same day...? His eyes closed in agony. Is this the meaning of life...is this...lord, is this...? My osagie is gone...you are gone...ha! He wept as he bent over his body. His whole body shook. And then, He head shot up as he suddenly remembered. Hester! He called. He stood a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ took three strides forward then realisation dawn on him, he turned back to look at his best friend that was never to be like before again. He noticed his proper body positioning, hs eyes were closed, his hand were placed well, the shawl ...the shawl to prevent him from lying in his own pool of blood. Hester?.He was on his feet, he swirled a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ practically ran into her room. He noticed the difference from the last time he entered, then he saw the note which was now softened a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ faint. He got the message though short a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ simple, hook, line a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ sinker. He brought his mobile phone as he got brainstormed a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ dialled a number. C E O, G a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ C helicopters, who am ℓ̊ on to? Hi pal, its Ethelbert Franklin. Hey dΦn, whats up? He was going to avoid a messy publicity of his bf death as much as he could. When he was done with calls, he retrieved the cartridge of the camera in the sitting room. ++++ **** Hester stared out of the window of the speedily moving vehicle. It passed through the cars, people, places, building, forests, vegetations, a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ so on but she didnt see them. Her mind was busy...it was still a shock to her that her bright yesterday turned out to be a black day. It was still a shock to her that she was under the captivity of her most dreaded admirer. Ohh ethelbert...how must he be feeling now? Dear lord...did ℓ̊ do anything that disqualifies me from being in your will? She sneezed. Her eyes closed and she drifted. They had made it a 2days journey as their boss had instructed to breach some level of security. ++++ **** Precious typed on the system a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ concentrated with a frown creeping into his countenance. Sir, its tight. Ethelbert buried his face in his palm momentarily. Then he looked up, aη∂ glanced at the building that was on display on all the computer system in his control room. Guys, listen up. Ethel eventually spoke up. They all looked at him. He was seated in their midst, he was more calm than ever before aη∂ his countenance was blank. ℓ̊ dont believe that building with its contituent ḁ̊η∂ classic construction just have an exit. He looked at one of his men who was nearest to the projector. Kalu,project the building. He got to his feet immediately a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ set to work. Ethel stood a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ took slow strides to the large screen. Lets forget the whole of the elephant a̶̲̥̅̊η∂ go for its parts. He worked via the electronic mouse, some circular notation appeared on some of the building part. This is A B C... to J, based on your sitting arrangement a part belongs to you. Dig it all out, wevery got five minutes. Precious work on the major aη∂ minor roads. Kalu, security,and all the possibilities... He began instructing. Typings began. Supporting himself with his arms, he lowered himself to a chair and sipped water. His eyes not leaving the screen of Precious. Precious is that a major or minor? Minor Sir. Sir? His personal assistant called. Ethel looked in his direction. I have found an indication of an entrance, I have tried all access, it has been denied. Ethel wheeled his chair close. :That is part D right? Yes Sir. Zoom it. He did that. They both looked at it closely but Ethels brows creased thoughtfully. It is a standardized symbol and I cant fathom its meaning. Wale said. I have seen that before. He narrowed his brows and reached for the keyboard, minimized what was on the screen, did few typing and click and four similar symbols to the earlier. Ethel smiled. Sir, they are almost the same. He observed and looked at him with trust . Wale, that is an underground. It is coded, get me my laptop, we will find a way around this. Yes Sir. He stood and hurried out. Ethel stood and sat on the seat Wale vacated. +++++ From the elevator he saw her got out of the car and look around. Oladimeji face glowed and he laughed. My baby is home! The Welcome smiles, the warmth they gave her as she passed them was more of utter admiration. My sweetheart! His joy knew no bound has he helped her up the elevation. He took her in his arms. Appalled, Hester hope didnt throw up. That was the closest they had ever been. Oladimeji touched her face. How are you doing? He asked concerned. Was the journey too stressful? She gave him the benefit of a momentary look but made no attempt to respond. I know how you feel sweetheart, the journey was long and exhausting. You look drained. I will be looking better if your boys didnt smoke and drink in the car. I was sneezing and coughing ,I attempted to jump out of the moving car because I was suffocating. What! Every display of happiness vanished as he turned to her escorts with a fierce look. Emmmm …Boss …we …we can explain. Their leader attempted and took a step backward. Explain? He scoffed. Scorpion, So it is true, you good for nothing fish? How dare you! I entrusted my jewel in your care for just two days and she is not forgetting your habit. What does she look like to you. You want to contaminate my wife! Oladimeji stretched his hand and slapped him. The rest shuddered. Im sorry boss. Scorpion gave a low bow. Sorry? He glared at him.If you dont get out of my sight now, I will take off your head in such a way that the vultures will be so sorry for your corpse that wont near it. Hester sneezed twice. Oladimeji directed his attention back to her. Oh baby, I am so sorry. He helped her to a seat. Are you alright? Im fine. She attempted a faint smile. They left knowing there was trouble looming for them. Are you sure? He moved a chair close. Yes. ..... ..... Are you sure you are okay Sweetie? Oladimeji moved a chair close to sit opposite her. Yes. It came out as a whisper, she had lost her voice. He beamed. I cant believe you are now finally within my reach. Then he sobered. I have really missed you, your disappearance almost killed me.... I am glad to have you back. I love you. Baby …I want to be mother of wife beautiful children. I want to you my first lady. He was also a presidential candidate. His gaze scanned her face and lingered on her lips. He brought his face close to kiss her. Hester turned her face aside. Oladimeji laughed to cover up his disappointment. In as much as I will love to make you mine, I understand you are exhausted. I will be traveling tomorrow morning and I will be back in three days. Then we consumate our marriage in memorable. He bit his lower lips and openly feed his eyes with her clad body. Hester sneezed. Bless you sweetheart. He beamed as he stood and pressed a bell on the wall. Soon, a fair skinned, beautiful young lady who was three years older than Hester hurried in. Oladimeji assisted Hester up. Sweetheart meet Vanessa, she is charge of the ladies and their activities. She is going to be your personal assistant. Vany, meet my lady. Hi Hester. Vanessa gave her a charming smile as she took her hands in hers like they have know each other for a long time. Hester managed to smile better than she had done in the past couple of days. She instantly liked her. My lady, I longed to meet you. Her smile still retained. I love your smile. Hester said. Ah …Thank you. Vanessa chuckled. Oladimeji love the fact that they had got along well. Vany, take proper care of her, she is my heartbeat. He placed a right hand across his chest. I will, very well. Still holding, she gestured and they walked side by side. Hester sneezed once more ++++ **** She is beautiful, isnt it? Oladimeji voice was low in the bedroom as he watched her. Yes Sir. One her attendant was there with her. He beamed. I could spend the rest of my life watching her like this, only I have to go now . He pecked her and adjusted the duvet. Oladimeji stood, Those idiots could have killed her, cater well to her needs. With eyes still on her face. Tobi, in case of anything, call the Doctor and let me know. I have told Vanessa already, the word -excuse left my dictionary yesterday. Yes Sir. He took a final lingering look at her then left the room. A doctor had come to see her the day she arrived evening and administered some medication because she had kept sneezing and eventually threw up. ++++ Episode 25 @6:30am tomorrow morning
