🌹 A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER 🌺
(Caught in a Dilemma 😰)
CHAPTER 5
Tokyo and Beatrice’s father sat in the living room lost in thoughts.
“Beatrice didn’t come home last night, and she never told me she would not.” Her father stated looking at Tokyo.
“I am also confused,d Sir. She never come to my house last night and she never called or texted me. I called her for the video calls we used to do at night but it wasn’t connecting.” Tokyo complained.
“We nee-d to call the cops, enough of these stories okay? We nee-d to involve the cops.” Her mother said fearfully walking out of the kitchen.
“Involve the cops? What if this is just a misun-derstanding and we are thinking something else entirely?” Tokyo asked and her mother shook her head.
“There is no time to guess. My baby girl is out there and I don’t know where she Is. Until I do, I can never be at rest.” Her mother Stated.
Her father picked up his phone and made a call across to the police station. Tokyo stared at him and waited for him to speak up.
“Good day, My daughter is missing, I nee-d intervention immediately.” Her father.
“We would have to ask some question,sir.” They responded.
“Okay? What do I do?” He asked.
“We would be at your ap@rtment very soon sir.” They stated and he hung up the call.
“What did they say?” Her mother asked restlessly.
“They would be here in no time.” He responded and Tokyo stood up.
“Sir I am sorry but I have to leave now,” Tokyo said and her parents looked at him.
“Why? You didn’t tell me you would be leaving this early.” Her father stated.
“I never thought I would leave this early, but I just got a message from the company now and I nee-d to be there. I promise to be back as soon as I am done.” He said and they nodded in un-derstanding.
“Thank you. I would upd@t£ you on whatever the Cops find out when you are back.” Her father said.
“plea-se do. I can’t wait to see Beatrice.” Tokyo said and they sighed.
“we would find her.” Her father said and Tokyo walked out of the house.

Damon finished eating the food R0m-n had served him when his phone vibr@ted. He picked up his phone and saw it was a phone call.
He picked it and signaled everyone around to excuse him and they all did immediately.
“They involved the cops.” He heard from the other side.
“Why am I not surprised?” Damon asked comfortably.
“Are you not getting it? Her father has eyes and ears everywhere. In no time, they would find out where she is.” He said and Damon sm-irked.
“We are not where they can find us. You nee-d to calm down and trust our services.” Damon said picking his teeth with a toothpick.
“Don’t be so stupid to think that way. We are dealing with Mr. Robert here okay? We nee-d to be on the safest side, not on the safe side.” He replied from the other end.
“So what do you want me to do?” Damon asked.
“I nee-d you to give her a cell phone and let her talk to her parents.” He said.
“What?” Damon asked in shock.
“shut up and let me finish. You have a gun on her skull when you give her the phone, you tell her that she has to tell them she is fine and is on a vacation. She has to tell them she is okay and would be back home soon. After the call, you get rid of the phone and sim card.” He explained from the other end and Damon nodded.
“got it.” He responded and he hung up the call.
Damon stood up and walked out of his office heading to where Beatrice was kept. He opened the door and walked in to see her fast asleep on the be-d.
“Hey!” He shouted ma-king Beatrice shake to reality.
“Why did you shout that way?” She asked angrily. Her heart was beating very fast and this made Damon smiled behind his mask.
“Have this phone. Call your parents and tell them you are on a vacation and you are fine. You lost your phone on your way so you couldn’t call until now.” Damon said stretching the phone to her.
“And you expect me to tell them I am fine when I am not? I can’t lie to my parents. Are you scared they would find out where I am?” Beatrice said boldly.
Damon sighed In frustration and pu-ll-ed out his gun from his back pocket pointing to her.
“It’s a command.” He muttered and when Beatrice saw the gun she kept mute swallowing ha-rd .
Her b©dy began to shake as she reached out for the phone. Her f!ngersshook as she began to type in her father’s phone number.
“you say exactly what I told you.” Damon declared c0cking his gun and the sound made Beatrice jump In fright.
She put a call across to her father and he picked up on the second ring.
“hi, Father.” She said trying to sound calm.
“Beatrice? Baby girl, how are you? Where are you?” Her father asked.
“Father I am fine. I am sorry for not calling you earlier. I misplaced my phone so I couldn’t call until now.” She said and her father sighed in relief.
“So where are you now? I can come to pick you,” he said and Beatrice looked at Damon who ti-ght£ñed his grip on the gun. He nodded for her to continue and tears rolled down her eyes.
“I am on a Vacation Father.” She said in a shaky voice.
“Vacation? You never told me about it.” Her father said feeling confused.
“Yes. I didn’t want to tell you because you would want some guards to go with me and I just want few days without anyone watching.” She lied shutting her eyes as she did.
“At least you should have told your mother. When will you be back?” He asked and Beatrice looked at Damon.
“You would tell them later.” He whispered and she wept silently.
“I would let you know Father. I have to go now.” She said glaring at the gun that points at her head.
She hung up and busted into tears giving the phone to Damon.
“you seem smarter than I thought. You handled the old men well.” Damon said and right In front of her he threw the phone across the room and it shattered.
Beatrice held her head crying profusely.
“Aww baby, don’t do that. You are more beautiful when you try to act strong.” Damon said in mockery walking out of the room.
He shut the door behind him and walked away.
Beatrice tried to stand up and she walked to where the scattered phone was. She tried putting it together but it was too shattered. It was beyond repairs.
“No! No! plea-se work.” She cried weakly.

(Caught in a dilemma 😰)
CHAPTER 6
R0m-n stood behind the door when Damon was on the call. He heard only Damon’s replies and not the person at the other end of the call.
He guessed he talked about Beatrice, and the person at the other side of the call was probably the person who asked them to kidnap Beatrice.
He moved away from the door so that Damon won’t see him. He hid behind a wall and watched him as he walked.
He saw Damon walk into the room Beatrice was, and he moved closer to the door to eavesdrop.
He saw some of the guards coming and he quic-kly stood up and acted like he was just going on his own.
After they left, he walked back to the door and what he heard was something crashing.
He heard the door make a sound and he quic-kly rushed to hide. He saw Damon walk out of the room and after he was sure he wasn’t coming back, he went to the door and opened it.
He walked in and saw Beatrice on the floor, he held a destroyed phone in her hands.
“Hey.” He said behind his mask.
Beatrice said no word but kept trying to put the phone together so she could call her father.
“It won’t work,” R0m-n said shutting the door and squ-atting In front of her.
“It has to. I can’t stay here another day after talking to my dad.” Beatrice mumbled in tears.
“Beatrice plea-se calm down okay?” R0m-n said and Beatrice looked at him angrily.
“don’t you get it? I am the one suffering! Not you! I am the victim, not you R0m-n!” she screamed in tears, and R0m-n sighed nodding.
“I get you. I un-derstand how you feel.” He said and she shook her head.
“no, you don’t. You are not the one that is tied down in an unknown place, you are not the one that was f0rç£d to tell her father she is fine when she is not because she is scared he would pu-ll the trigger! You don’t un-derstand R0m-n! You don’t!” She ra-pped standing up and throwing the phone on the floor.
She walked back to the be-d and sat on it busting into great tears.
R0m-n felt so bad seeing her that way and he un-derstood what Damon had come to do to her. He felt anger in him but he had to kill it so he could calm her.
“Beatrice.” He called calmly walking to her.
“I hate it here. I don’t want to be here, I miss my family, I miss Tokyo.” She mumbled and R0m-n sat next to her.
“I am sorry.” He said and Beatrice turned her head to look at him.
“Why? You are good to me. You are not like the rest of them.” She said and R0m-n shook his head.
“No. I am like them because I am here with them, keeping you captive too.” R0m-n said bowing his head and she narrowed her gaze.
“You feel bad?” she asked and R0m-n nodded.
“of course I do Beatrice.” He said calmly standing up.
“That means you don’t want to be here anymore?” Beatrice asked staring at him.
“I never wanted to be here. But I find myself here.” He started looking at her throu-gh his mask.
“You never wanted to be here? Then why are you here?” She asked and he sighed.
“I was f0rç£d to join because of my dad.” He stated and Beatrice wanted to know more after hearing the name “Dad”.
“Your dad? Where is he?” Beatrice asked glaring at Ramon.
“he is dead,” Ramon said feeling hurt and she felt pity for him.
“I am so sorry Ramon, I never knew,” Beatrice said and he shook his head.
“It is nothing. You didn’t do anything wrong.” He said and She nodded.
“So how did he f0rç£ you here?” Beatrice further interrogated.
“He was working with the boss before he died. Damon killed him because he tried to pl@ysmart with him.” Damon explained.
“Tried to pl@ysmart? Who is Damon anyways?” Beatrice asked and Ramon walked back to the be-d and sat.
“The boss. He claims my father wanted to pl@ysmart so he killed him.” Ramon said clenching his jaws.
“He killed him! Why would he do that!” Beatrice stated in shock.
“you don’t have you be surprised. Anyone hurting his neighbor like we are doing to you would surely pay for it and death is p@rt.” Ramon said Beatrice shook her head in pity for Ramon.
“So how did you get here?” She inquired.
“My father was owing Damon before he was killed. So Damon took me and made me one of his boys, so I would work for him till he got his money back.” He explained.
“How long have you been here?” Beatrice asked.
“Three years. And I can’t count how many people have been in your situation. I keep wondering how I am yet to pay off all my father owed.” Damon said.
“Ramon you nee-d to get the hell out of here. You are not here because of your dad anymore, he is using you. Hi omeano on+23354 to be added to story headquarters room for more stories. ’t you see that?” She asked holding his hand and he looked at her.
“I know but if I leave before he re-leases me, I would be killed just like my father and nob©dy would do anything about it.” He said and Beatrice felt pity for him.
“He is going to pay for this Ramon, I promise you. Once I am out of here, I would do something about this.” Beatrice said confidently
.
“Beatrice I don’t think that would be soon. Do you have anyone very close to you but you don’t trust?” Ramon asked and she furrowed her brows shaking her head.
“No why?” She asked.
“Most cases, the one who always orders of the victim’s kidnap are people that are close to them, the ones people least expect.” He stated and Beatrice shook her head.
Why would someone I trust to do this to me?” She asked.
“I trusted my father my whole life until he dragged me into this mess. You can’t trust anyone.” He muttered.
“My father would never, my mother is an angel. And Tokyo is the best p@rtner you could ever have. They are the ones I trust and this would never come from them.” Beatrice believed and stated.
Ramon nodded standing up, he knew he couldn’t f0rç£ her to believe him but h had a strong feeling it was someone very close to her though he doesn’t know the person.
Damon is that crazy when it comes to things like this. We would never get to know who ordered the kidnap except it is necessary we know.
“So you are going to keep working here?” Beatrice asked him standing up.
“I can’t anymore. Once you are re-leased, I am out of here either dead or alive.” He said with determination.
“What if I am not re-leased and I am killed instead?” Beatrice asked approaching him.
“I would never let that happen. You are getting out of her alive no matter what it takes.” He sang boldly and She smiled.
She got right in front of him and reached for his mask. Ramon held her hand and she stared into the eyes of the mask.
“You still don’t trust me? I would never use your face against you. I just want to see the face behind this mask, nothing more.” She said as Ramon stared back at her.
He nodded re-leasing her hand and she smiled reaching for it. She pu-ll-ed it from his jaw lines slowly up to his pink S-xyl-ips.
She glared at hisl-ips for seconds before she kept pu-lling it off his face. He had a smoothly la-id mustache.
She pu-ll-ed it over his nose and she saw his neatly curved out nose. It was long and pointed.
She got to his eyes and finally got the mask off. She bec@m£ lost!
He had blue eyeba-lls, wonderful eyebrows, and his face wasfu-cking cute as a whole.
“Oh, My God.” She muttered before thinking.
