Chapter 57
A bitch
“We should postpone the wedding don’t you think.” Kenzo suggested sitting beside her on the bed. She shook her head slowly.
“We ain’t doing any of that. Everyone is waiting for our wedding, we can’t just postpone it anymore. I’ll be fine before the wedding.” She exhaled.
“How long have I been here?”
“A terrible week.” He blurts out before he could stop himself. She gave him a look.
“Guess she’s gone right? To the grave. Such a lowlife..”
it was Kenzo’s turn to look at her with a glare.
He couldn’t say anything else. He didn’t know how he felt these days.
He comes home every night, thinking he would find her on the couch waiting or in his room. What he found was emptiness.
She wasn’t here, why does it seem so difficult for him to understand that she was gone and with the look in her eyes.
He doubt if he would ever have a place in her life anymore. She was never coming back to him.
Now or never!
His body longs for her, he wanted her, to feel her, taste her, and love her but it wasn’t possible. Though she tried to conceal most of her emotions. But he knew he was worse than Ray, for hurting her like that.
If only she could understand. If only she would know how much he cares for her…
“Master, you’ve got a call!” Buka announced from the door. Without hesitating he stood up, going out of the room. Ezra who was standing outside got in, immediately he came out.
He walked lazily to the telephone and received the call.
“Kenzo…” There was only one person who would call him that way with so much affection in the voice.
“I called to say thank you. I tried calling for days but you weren’t picking.”
“I was busy.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Kenzo exhaled. He doesn’t know what to say next or how he’s gonna say it. He had never been called once by an elder woman. And the woman who happens to be his mother.
“I was hoping you would be chance to be with us for Christmas in Vietnam. We could stay a day together..”
“Why would you want to spend a day with the child you abandoned?”
“I told you, it wasn’t international. I did that to protect you.”
“You did right.” He bluntly replied.
“I’ll let you know if I would be there.”
“And You should come with her.. the girl..”
Kenzo sighed.
“I’m sure you saw or heard about the news that I’m getting married to Zara Gilbert. It’s no news. The wedding is in two weeks. You should come to see us wed.”
“You don’t love her.”
“Who cares about that. You’re coming ain’t you.”
“I would come for you son, not for the wedding. I can’t see the man who wanted us dead. Getting married to my son.”
“That’s had nothing to do with the daughter.”
“To me it does, everything. Take care son.” She hung up on the phone.
Kenzo huffed puffed. Walked out of the house, he needed something to cool off with.
Getting a drink or something.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He sauntered to the car park, entering the Lamborghini since she had taken the limo he bought, crazy bitch!
He smiled at the thought…
He would go alone, without taking anyone with him. He would go over to the bar and just get a drink. Drink till stupor.
“Elina, I’m off to work. See you after work!”
Barbra yelled. She had an evening shift. And she had to be there, that was here she was running off to.
Elina slumped on the bed, with a groan, was a little bit tired of all the chores she had been doing. It’s been a week and it’s felt like two long days. She had been here, indoors, talking to no one except Barbra.
She needed a change of position, she had to go out, for tonight. Clear her thought off Kenzo. Since he seems to be dwelling much in her thoughts these days.
Breathing out. She glanced around. She couldn’t stay here alone, she was feeling bored already. Having some fun wouldn’t be bad, would it? She jumped up. Running through the wardrobe. To get a dress.
She found one and brought it out of the wardrobe.
This would do.
She ran out to the bathroom. To have a cold bath. She turns on the shower, stripped herself off her clothes, and stood underneath. As the water runs down her body.
Taking up the silver strip gown. She wore them on her body. It was short and hug her figures as usual. She sat down on the front table. Taking the mascara on the table, just a light makeup would do for the night.
Staring at herself in the mirror, she looked perfect. She smacked her lips together and stood up from the chair, taking her small purse, and walked out of the house, shutting the door behind her.
Tonight she would go somewhere, Barbra wouldn’t find her, the bar Kenzo had taken her, where she had met his father. And this time she would fully enjoy herself, besides she had his black card with her, remembering she hadn’t taken her gun with her, she ran back in, she shouldn’t forget such important stuff like that when she was going into the lion’s den, into the party of the mafia, the gangster and the billionaires, she might get lucky getting to meet one.
And she did meet one.
Seated all by herself, drinking the vodka, which had become her favorite. She wriggles her waist slowly to the beat. She could feel the prying eyes of strangers staring hungrily at her.
Damn!
She was hot.
With the bottle of vodka, she stood up, walking towards the dance floor.
“Hey pretty, can I join you?”
“Yeah. Sure. Who am I to say no to a handsome man.”
What was she saying, the alcohol was making her say crazy things. Smirking, he seems to like her response. He closed the distance between them with his body and started moving to the beat, there was something in the way he moved, he knew exactly how to move his body that got her staring at him.
“Are you just gonna stare at me or you’re gonna dance?” His words caught her off guard.
She turned her body around so he couldn’t see her face, her back was pressed against him. She could feel his every move, her body swayed from left to right-aligned with the music, he placed his hands on her hips keeping their body connect. She loved the way he was holding her. She swayed her hips slightly and arched her back so her head was on his chest, he liked it.
As her hips moves her ass was grinding his groin area…
“You like teasing huh?”
Before she could reply to him.
A hand yanked the stranger off her. Pushing him away from her.
“How dare you!”
His voice half yelled, so evident in his voice that he had been enduring for long. Watching her, and he just can’t take it anymore.
Elina looked surprised seeing him, he ruin the moment, she was beginning to like the stranger.
“Stay away from my woman!”
And that got everyone’s attention.
“Ain’t you getting married?”
“None of your fucking business Lucas. She’s off-limit.”
“What’s she to you then, your slut?”
“Fuck off.”
Lucas chucked.
“Thought as much, one of your bitches huh? Still ain’t over her yet, she hot tho.”
Kenzo clutched his fist, he was ready to punch If he doesn’t get the fuck out of here at the last minute.
“I’ve one question, who is she to you, isn’t she your bitch? Cause she’s not your woman, everyone knows who your woman is… Zara obviously, so who is she?”
In reply, he felt his head pull off. Kenzo punched him. Punch that took him off his feet.
“Don’t you dare mess around her? It”
