Chapter 16
“I am sorry” Khalid raised his head. “Khalid Walter” Jasmine and Dason called silently.
There was a lull for a while as they were both glancing at each other. Dason cut the silence as he surged to hvg Khalid.
“I can’t believe I finally meet you” Dason exclaimed joyously.
“Oh! do you know me?” Khalid asked forgotten he’s a celebrity.
“Do you forget that everyone knows you? You are the famous Khalid Walter, Am I right?”Dason as-sured.
Jasmine looks nervous. She couldn’t as-sume she was standing right Infront of the man who she has been praying to see. Did she just meet him in the pool? What a great coincidence. de-ep in her heart, different thoughts keep rummaging in her mind.
“Jasmine, he is Khalid. Your Khalid” Dason shouted which makes her jo-lt out of her dreamworld.
“Yes, he is Khalid Walter. The celebrity. The popular man. It good to meet a celebrity like him”
“Nice meeting you, “Jasmine let out.
Dason gazed at her with amazement.
“I mean”Dason couldn’t complete his word when Jasmine cut him short.
“You mean I never missed any of his programs, many fans do. So, is nothing special “Jasmine fumbles with her f!ngers.
“Thanks alot, I do respect my fan alot. Am happy to me you guys. Sorry, I hit you. I was so carried away with the chilliness of the water”Khalid apologized, and stretched forth his hand.
“You shouldn’t be sorry, I am sorry for speaking rudely. I must say you are a nice person. I just ascertained this meeting with you in person. I used to think all celebrities are proud and rude”Jasmine try to put on a smile.
She feels uneasy, or maybe nervous. She behaves strangely, which was still alarming to Dason.
“I must say you are beautiful. I haven’t seen a beautiful lady like you. You are sweet and real “Khalid commended her.
She beamed. “Oh! Thanks.”She blu-shed. There was a long silence. Dason who was getting tired of this scene broke the silence.
“Mr. Walter can I take snapsh0ts with you. And you will also put your autogra-ph on my che-st”Dason asked.
“Of course Yes. Common lemme get my phone. Will you come with me?”Khalid asked as he reaches out of the pool.
Jasmine was staring at him. She feels so nervous.
“What was that?”Dason grumbled.
“I don’t know. I just say what comes to my head that moment”Jasmine opposed.
Dason frown. “I have told you several times to have some s-en-se. This is your chance is not too late.
You can tell him when he comes back. If you can’t, I am here to help you” Dason declared.
“No, I don’t feel like this is the right time. I can’t just barge into his life like that. I don’t know what’s going on in his personal life.
plea-se Dason, I don’t know what to say again. Just spare me. Can we get out of here right now? Am cold”Jasmine said not knowing what was going on with her.
“I un-derstand you. Okay, let’s get out of the water. We should take pictures with him at least”Dason said.
“I don’t feel like. I can’t just think straight right now. I am more than confused right now” Jasmine said and was about to get out of the pool.
“WOW, this is pretty. She got the shapes. Common baby. I think I must get la-id with this girl”A guy said from a corner.
Jasmine and Dason heard this and were incredibly angry.
Jasmine charged at him. “How dare you say such a thing about me, how could you be so negative minded”Jasmine dragged him by his collar.
“Yes, who gave you the right to say such ru-bbish about my sister. What do you think of her”Dason asked alre-ady fuming in anger?
“When your sister knew she doesn’t want anyone to tease her, why doesn’t she dress decently. I can tease whoever I like, so fvĀ¢k off” The guy blabbe-d and pushed Jasmine.
She was about to trip off her feet, but Khalid was there to hold her on time.
“How dare you? how could you be so disrespectful towards a lady”Khalid thun-dered.
“Mr. Walter, I am sorry. I was just kidding. I don’t mean any harm. Am happy to see you. plea-se put your autogra-ph on my hand”The guy said smiling and rushing towards him.
“I want pictures”Some girls shouted and also come closer to him.
” Apologized” Khalid obliged.
“Am sorry pretty, I just don’t know what I was saying” He apologized.
“So you want my autogra-ph, isn’t it?.” Khalid asked.
“Yes, sure” He nodded his head. “Lemme give you this warning. Anytime I found you teasing or being disrespectful towards a lady, I will be the one to sign the papers to throw you in jail”Khalid threatened as he took the pen from him and put his autogra-ph in his hand.
The girls start rushing to take pictures with him. Jasmine stood there wra-pping her face with her palm.
After they all left. “Sorry for that, some guys are just silly. Am sorry on his behalf”Khalid apologized to Jasmine was about to break down.
Dason noticed this.
“Am sorry Jas, I was the one who urged you to wear this. Am so sorry”Dason apologized holding his hand?
“Why are you apologizing. There’s no nee-d for that. No room for apologies. You are my only brother and you will never want me to go astray.
I know you will never make the wrong choice for me. Am not hurt, not even what that riffraff said matters. All that matters is that you are here with me” Jasmine said with so much emotion.
“I love you sis”Dason hvgged her pas-sionately.
“Huh huh, I must say you guys are the best definition of brother and sister”Khalid smiled.
“Thanks for everything “Jasmine acknowledged.
“My plea-sure, won’t you guys mind if I dropped you at your home? Maybe when you are done”Khalid asked.
There was silence as they stare at each other’s dumbfounded.
*********
Steve Mansion
He yawns out of his sleep. His eyes shallowed to the wall clock. He sprang off the be-d.
“How can I be a sleepy head? This is unusual, Where’s Jasmine?. Why didn’t she wake me up?”Steve asked no one in p@rticular and rushed out of the room to see all his guards slee-ping.
He was so furious that he picked up a rod and start hitting them so ha-rd . But they didn’t wake up.
His mind drives back to Jasmine. He rushed towards the room where Dason was kept. He saw Zack still snoring.
He went in and didn’t find Dason. “Have she escaped?”Steve asked himself.
He went back to Zack and hit him so ha-rd .
“Boss plea-se let me sleep more, “He said etching his eyes.
Steve was so angry. “If you don’t stand up now I will shoot you” He roared.
Zack struggles to rise.
Flashes
“Zack what are you doing. Are you mad? You want to eat the food you knew I have added slee-ping pills”Jasmines protested.
“Yes dear, why shouldn’t I eat it. Everyone is asleep. You both can go now. After you left I will eat up the food so I can also have a good sleep “Zack said and covered the food.
“This is called madness. You won’t eat it”Jasmine took the food and wanted to go and pour it away.
” No don’t pour it. I am eating this in case the boss wanna find out who did this. He might just call the doctor to check who and who eats the food.
He might have the feeling that no one in his right s-en-se will want to eat the food if he knows what’s in there. I am doing this to save all of us.
Now I will see you off, but not to the main gate. Anyone could be spying on us “Zack curved his eyes.
“Hmmmm, I see some s-en-se in what you are about to do. Thanks so much, Zack”Dason hvgged him pas-sionately.
“You are welcome buddy, take good care of your sister, and yourself I will be fine here,” Zack said and they gave themselves a guy slang.
“Thanks so much, Zack, God will bless you. You did alot for us” Jasmine said with teary eyes.
“You are welcome,” Zack said and see them throu-gh the back door.
He c@mĀ£ back to eat the food and fell asleep.
End of flashes
Zack yawned lazily. “Good morning sir,” He said hitting his head.
“Where is the”Steve grips his nĀ£Ā¢k.
“Who?” “You mean Dason, he was right here “Zack sm-irks, back to his s-en-ses.
“Where is he?. Tell me where are they. How could they flee in my own house” Steve roared with his reddish evil eyes?
He looks more than fearsome. “Sir, I don’t know. After I ate the food” “What? Did she drug us” Zack makes a pretentious face?
“Smart move, so my feeling was right. Gather everyone to the living room” Steve ordered and strode angrily to his room.
He c@mĀ£ back to the living room a few minutes later. “Steve how was this possible?. How manage?
I thought there was ti-ght security around here “Mr. Clark said worriedly because he knows he would lose a lot of money if they are not able to find Jasmine and her brother.
“Exactly my point. I know who is behind all this. I would make sure I dealt with the person severely. I will keep him alive till I was able to find them.
Then I will behead the person who helped them in this. Right Infront of them”Steve said without looking down.
Zack looks boggled. He was sweating Inside of him but didn’t show it because he knows it could be dangerous.
“Who do you think did this? The person shouldn’t be spared at all “Mr. Clark asked and walked closer to Steve.
Steve stĀ©pped him from coming closer, with his hand.
“The person I never thought would betray me, is the one who slabbe-d me from behind. So no one to trust further. Anyone I point my f!nger to us the person” Steve said, he point out one of his f!ngers. He starts moving it from one person to another.
He stĀ©pped on getting to Zack’s. He gazes at him.
