🌹 A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER 🌺
(Caught in a dilemma 😰)
CHAPTER 7
“what is it?” R0m-n asked glaring into her eyes.
“You look so handsome.” She said placing her palm on his face slowly and as soon as her hands t©uçhed his Face he shut his eyes loving her t©uçh.
He opened his eyes gradually and moved his face very close to hers.
He leaned forward and theirl-ips brushed each other ma-king them shiver. Beatrice suddenly moved back remembering she has a fiancée at home.
“I am sorry.” She said and R0m-n bit his lower l!pmoving back.
“No, I am sorry. I was too forward.” He stated and Beatrice nodded looking away. She just too shy to look him in the eye.
“I should leave before Damon gets here.” He told and she nodded speechlessly.
R0m-n stared at her for few seconds before finally walking out of the room. He shut the door and leaned his back on it breathing in and out.
He kept feeling her t©uçh on his cheeks. It was driving him insane.
“I nee-d to get her out of here. I can’t let her keep suffering. I nee-d to know who is behind her kidnap.” He thought standing properly and walking away.
Beatrice heard him walk away and she slammed into the be-d. She felt her heartbeat very fast and she held her che-st staring into space.
“Why did you get so close? You have a fiancée Beatrice. You can’t do this to Tokyo.” She said to herself hitting her head carefully.
***
Tokyo walked into the company, and the staff greeted him happily. Though some had never liked him so they ignored his pres£nce and kept walking.
Beatrice is the CEO of one of her father’s companies, and she had an as-sistant. Tokyo was there to see the as-sistant.
Immediately her as-sistant Gordon saw him, he stood up with a large smile on his face.
“Welcome, Mr. Tokyo.” He greeted and Tokyo smiled.
“How are you Mr. Gordon?” he asked walking to Beatrice’s chair.
“Great sir,” Gordon responded wondering what Tokyo was about doing.
Tokyo sat on her chair and placed his leg on the table sm-irking. This made Gordon confuse.
“Sorry Sir, but you can’t sit down like that,” Gordon stated and Tokyo arched his brows.
“Why? Have you forgotten I am your CEO’s husband-to-be? “ Tokyo asked and Gordon shook his head.
“I haven’t forgotten, but you aren’t the CEO sir. And Miss Beatrice never told me you would be sitting on her chair during her vacation.” He said suspecting Tokyo.
“Well, here I am. I am here to take over of the company till she is back.” He said and Gordon scoffed.
“I am sorry Mr. Tokyo but I am yet to receive any confirmation from Miss Beatrice and I can’t do anything behind her back.” He said and Tokyo got too vexed.
“Hey, have you forgotten this is my fiancée? She wouldn’t tell you everything. I am taking over the company and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.” Tokyo declared and Gordon nodded swallowing ha-rd .
“Yes sir.” He responded and walked out of Beatrice’s office.
He got out and looked into the office throu-gh its transparent glas-s and saw Tokyo smiling wi-dely.
“Why don’t I trust him? “ Gordon asked himself picking out his phone from his pocket.
He searched for Beatrice’s phone number. He found it and dialed the number, but it wasn’t connecting.
“Where did she keep her phone?” He thought of trying it again but it was the same thing.
“I can’t just let Mr. Tokyo take over that seat. I nee-d to do something about this.” He thought walking away.
***
Damon was at the edge of slee-ping when his phone rang and he saw his boss calling.
“Yes, Boss.” He said after picking up.
“How is she?” He asked from the other side sounding happy.
“She is good. Probably slee-ping. Any upd@t£s?” Damon asked tiredly.
“You would be getting rid of her soon. I have achieved what I want.” He answered.
“Today?” Damon asked.
“No! I still nee-d her alive to convince her people.” He stated and Damon nodded.
“Got it.” He responded and he hung up the call.
He stood up and walked to the bathroom yawning. Ramon who had been eavesdropping heard he opened the toilet shower and he quic-kly opened the door and walked into the room.
He saw the phone on the be-d and picked it up quic-kly. He checked the recent number that called and began to memorize it.
“234-564-24” He muttered to himself repeatedly. He heard the running tap st©p and he quic-kly dropped the phone and ran out of the room shutting the door quietly.
“Who is there?” Damon asked as he saw the door close.
“It… it is me. R0m-n.” R0m-n responded in haste.
“What do you want?” Damon asked in a hoarse voice.
“I am here to tell you we are running out of foodstuffs.” R0m-n lied breathing very ha-rd .
“Why are you just telling me?” Damon asked walking to the door.
“I just found out,” R0m-n replied as Damon opened the door.
“Get some money from Don and get more! And me careful you can’t be noticed out there.” Damon warned and R0m-n nodded walking away.
“Don’t worry Beatrice. I am getting you out of here.” R0m-n said to himself.

(Caught in a dilemma 😰)
CHAPTER 8
R0m-n took the normal route from the island to the city. He kept repeating the numbers in his head so he wouldn’t forget.
He got to the call center in the middle of the road and picked up the telephone to call the number.
The number began to ring and immediately it was connected.
“Hello,” Tokyo answered from the other side.
R0m-n kept mute trying to figure out if he has heard that voice somewhere ap@rt from Damon’s phone.
“You are unto Tokyo, how may I help you?” Tokyo added when he heard nothing at the other side.
R0m-n’s eyes wi-de-ned and he hung up the call.
“So he is behind all this? He asked for her kidnap.” R0m-n thought unbelievably. He didn’t know what to do.
“Should I go to the cops? What if I am also found guilt? Or should I tell Beatrice first? She should know how to get him? I don’t even know!” He screamed in his head.
He went to the market to get the foodstuff he had lied was almost finishing. Now he knew who was behind it but was yet to know why?
He nee-ded to ask Beatrice, to know the next step. Why would he do something like this to her?
“I would so kill him when I set my eyes on him. Even if we are in the same prison yard.” He thought angrily.
***
He walked down the path with the bags of foodstuff in his hands. He acted cool and walked down to the kitchen.
After putting the bags down, he walked to the room Beatrice was kept and opened the door carefully. He looked around to see if anyone was looking, he couldn’t risk anyone seeing him go in and out of the room like it is his business.
He walked in and was Beatrice laying on the be-d. Immediately she saw him, she sat up. R0m-n stared at her and noticed she had been crying.
“What happened? Did he come in here again?” R0m-n asked and Beatrice shook her head.
“he didn’t. R0m-n, it’s my second day of been here, and I don’t see any sign I would be re-leased soon.” She muttered in a shaky voice.
“You won’t be here before the end of tomorrow,” R0m-n said boldly and Beatrice looked at him with broadened eyes.
“What? Is Damon going to kill me tomorrow? Or is he re-leasing me?” She asked anxiously and R0m-n walked up to the be-d and sat next to her.
“re-leasing you isn’t the deal. He is planning to kill you after you are no more useful to the person who ordered for your kidnap.” He said and more tears rolled down her eyes.
“Why is this person doing this to me?” She mumbled in tears.
“What does Tokyo want from you exactly?” R0m-n asked and Beatrice st©pped weeping.
“what?” She asked.
“Why do you think he is with you?” R0m-n asked.
“Because we love each other of course? Hold, what does this have to do with what is going on?” She asked in confusion.
“It has everything to do Beatrice. He is after something that is yours.” He said and Beatrice furrowed her brows.
“no, he is not. Why are you saying all this?” She asked clueless about it.
“He ordered for your kidnap Beatrice. I shouldn’t have told you this way but you nee-d to know that he isn’t who you think he is. Join our telegram page to re-ad more of these story from there throu-gh kwaku ome on+233544142683.It is either he is after your money or your father’s money. Or even properties.” R0m-n stated and tears automatically rolled down her face.
She couldn’t believe her ears. Though Tokyo had always told her to speak to her father about giving him one of his companies.
She couldn’t because she knew Tokyo isn’t that intelligent to handle those companies. She didn’t tell him these, so she kept giving him excuses.
“I think I know what he is after.” She spoke up and R0m-n nodded.
“What?” He asked.
“My company. He is after my company R0m-n.” She said in tears and R0m-n pu-ll-ed her into his hands.
“Do you have anyone we can talk to in the company? I nee-d to speak to anyone in the company. For us to be 100 percent sure, we nee-d to know if he has taken any steps.” He said and Beatrice nodded.
“My as-sistant. I know his number.” She said and R0m-n nodded eagerly.
“Tell me the numbers. I can memorize it. I would find a way to give him a call.” R0m-n said and she nodded.
“022-458-00,” She told.
“022-458-00” He repeated after her.
“022-458-00” They both chorused, and that was it. R0m-n knew it alre-ady.
“I nee-d to go now. I would be back soon.” R0m-n said standing up. Beatrice held him back and he turned to look at her.
She stood up still holding his hand and she kept staring at him. She reached for his mask as soon as she was up and pu-ll-ed it up to his nose.
She leaned forward closing her eyes and planted a soft k!sson hisl-ips. R0m-n’s eyes went shut automatically and before thinking he wra-pped his hands around her w@!st drawing her closer.
She opened her mouth wi-der and R0m-n’s ton-gue found its way into her mouth.
They kept k!ss!ngand R0m-n felt arou-sed. He st©pped k!ss!ngher and moved back slowly.
“We can’t do this now. I nee-d to get you out of here first.” He said and she nodded still staring at hisl-ips.
She leaned forward again and wra-pped her arms around him burying her face in his che-st.
“Come back at night.” She whispered looking into his eyes. He nodded and k!$$£d her forehead before she let him go.
“Bye.” She said and he nodded adjusting his mask.
He walked to the door and took one last look at her before walking out of the room. He got out and saw his friend Daniel.
“You are going to get yourself in trouble lover boy.” He said and R0m-n sighed.
“You have been watching me right?” He asked and Daniel nodded. They both walked away from the door leading to the kitchen.
“What is going on?” Daniel asked as soon as he got to the Kitchen.
“I nee-d your help,” R0m-n said and Daniel crea-sed his brows.
“My help?” He asked and R0m-n nodded.
“Can you help me with that cellphone?” He asked and Daniel’s eyes broadened. He looked around to see no one was around before moving very close to him.
“We promised not to mention that again.” He whispered.
“I know but this is the only way to save Beatrice. plea-se, you know if it isn’t important I wouldn’t risk it.” He said and Dan shook his head.
“Nob©dy can know I have a phone and you know it.” He whispered.
“I know and nob©dy will know okay? plea-se. I nee-d this more than anything else.” R0m-n pleaded and Dan was f0rç£d to nod.
“Fine. But you can’t use more than five minutes.” He said and R0m-n nodded with a smile on his face.
“Deal.” He responded.
