Beyond Captivating š
Episode 12
Silvia POV :
What did she just say???
I blinked severally and held my stare with hers and for a moment I only stood there staring at her hair which appeared neat and long, not even an hint of white, and that gold earring
Damn….
it must have worth millions …
“Come in plea-se ma’am”
my mum organised voice said from behind ..
I was snapped out of my daze once more,
I stare back at my mum and back to her in embarras-sment..
“Yes” i g@sped and covered my hand in my heart
“Yes plea-se, am so sorry, come in”
“Thank you” she said.
Oh what an heart warming and less arrogant woman totally opposite of that monkey huh …
I stepped aside and joined her in the entry …
My mum ru-bbe-d her palm self consciously on the seat of her dress before extending her right hand towards her
..I watch as she took it quic-kly …
“Martha Fred “…
“Beatrice Tyson”
Wao What a beautiful woman with a beautiful name
I closed the door behind me and immediately followed the trend of my thoughts …
I wonder why she’s here ,, or is it about that video ….
no no no don’t let it be …
She took her seat and smile as she gaze around ..
“I love your home ,, its so peaceful and warm”
My mum laughed …
“Thank you ma’am ”
“No ma’am plea-se ,, just call me Beatrice ”
“Oh Beatrice,,sounds odd ”
my mum laughed nervously ..
“so what can we offer you”
She smile again but this time it was warm..
“Am OK thanks,, actually am here to see Silvia”
At the sound of that my heart skipped a bit
i cleared the ti-ghtness in my throat and lifted my brows towards her
“Me,”
She smile wistfully towards me before she nodded …
“Yes ,,actually its a job offer and its something we can actually discuss about in the presĀ£nce of your mum …”
My eyes flashed blue spark and for a moment I pictured myself in between stars while i slowly reach out to the moon ..
I shook my head slowly and sighed when I c@mĀ£ back to reality
“Job offer” I blinked ra-pidly and moistened on my dryl-ips
“Yes dear”
At the self recrimination I heard in her voice
I had to sit down quietly and stare at her …
“Before i move on to that ,,
just wanted to let you know You are the only lady that has ever talk that way at the mere sight of Lucas ………
Girls all but fall and melt at the sight of him…am just so impressed when I saw you talk back to him that way ”
At that instant I felt the oddest tug in my che-st ,,
I managed a chuckle and tried to smile ,, but I felt the muscles in my nĀ£Ā¢k grew ti-ghter ..
I lowered my eye lashes and stare back at her
“When I saw that video ,, what c@mĀ£ to my mind right at the moment was to find you dear. ”
She cleared her throat and smile
“Bet I couldn’t even sleep throu-gh the night …I was just so curious to meet you in person”
My eyes wi-de-ned as inner heat flu-shed my cheek …
What’s this woman saying
I stare at my mum who smiled and win-ked at me ..
I rolled my eyes and narrow end eye back to Mrs tyson
“Now that I meet you in person I could see that tenacity in you ,,
you are the Best person that could help me with this Silvia ,, my son is turning into a wild lion ”
My mouth drew open in petulant pout
” wild lion, ”
She smile weakly and right there my stomach threatened into a weave …
I’ve always known that monkey was a spoilt fool ,,
“I hate to admit it but I count Lucas behavior as my fault , cause I spoilt him too much when he was a kid ,,,
I gave him too much free hands so when he grew up its just so difficult to change him ”
She stands and walked towards a direction before she turn back to me ..
“My husband and i planned his trip after we saw the video of you and Lucas ,,,
So we decided to find you so you could help us with this Silvia …
He must start taking up this hvge responsibilities..
No matter how ha-rd i tried convincing him my effort were all fruitless,
You are the only person that can put s-en-se into Lucas br@in , his looks and all is driving him nut, accept this job offer my dear ,,you are the only person that can save my sons life… plea-se”
I realise I only stare at her silently and it seems as If she and my mum were waiting for me to say something…
I cleared my head as this self revelation rolled over me ,
even if I had stand up so br@ve to Lucas that doesn’t mean the mere sight of him hadn’t sĀ£nt my pulse racing ,,
I can not accept this ,,
Accepting this offer would be like seeing him every day
how am I suppose to cope…
I might hate men,, but I damn well have blood running throu-gh my veins
God
This offer actually terrified me …
Cause as strong as my heart is ,,
its weakness is just something that scares the hell out of me ..
That has happened once and I wouldn’t want it to repeat itself…
Not ever ,,
I stand and stare at my mum who had re-ad my mind to her heart content…
I frown at her and glanced back at Mrs Tyson …
“Am sorry I can’t accept this job offer ma’am ,,..”
I s-en-sed as shock rolled over her face
” am willing to pay you for you services Silvia, ”
Is everything about money to these rich people
I turn away from her gaze not wanting to see the bleakness I was certain I would find in her eyes ,,
I turn my focus on the flower beside me
“You do not un-derstand ma’am ,, I do not nee-d the cash ,,”
I felt her hands ru-b on my shoulder slightly
“I un-derstand you alright Silvia ,I knew the sight of men irritates you ,,but …..”
“I can’t help you ,,, ” i raised my voice and stared back at her this time
“Am sorry I didn’t mean to be rude or heartless,, but I am not just interested ”
“I’ll pay you ” she offered again
“anything you ask”
“Ma’am ” I closed my eyes irritatedly while i try to calm the agitation running throu-gh my veins
“Ma’am am sorry I can’t”
“You can’t do that Silvia” my mum suddenly stand up to her defense ,,,
” a mother is saying plea-se here ,
a life that nee-ds amendment is in your hands now ,, don’t you get it ,”
Stuffing down at my mum reaction I shook my head towards her direction and spoke hurriedly
“It is not certain my effort would be the one to change him mum ,so why should i start wasting my time on some spoilt rich br@t ……whom……”
I paused and stare back at Lucas mum whose face was so heated with embarras-sment …
I pressed my fist against my temple and su-cked in a breath around the lumb in my throat….
“My son has so much ego Silvia ,,”
She gave a shrug of affected indifference
“I know him more than he knew himself…
he never wanted to believe there’s any girl out there that could stand his looks without bowing or falling on his feet,,
after that encounter between you two ,, he wasn’t himself again ,, you can help me with this Silvia,
Don’t see it as a job offer anymore but the plead from a mother who nee-ds your help…”
At the look on her face
My hands instantly went weak ,
I stare back at my mum who was smiling towards me ,,
I didn’t say the words but my answer was plain on my face …
What choice do I have ,,
Now I realise my mum was smiling cause her prediction was right
Am gonna be meeting that monkey sooner than expected…
God what kind of space does woman c@mĀ£ from …
Suddenly Mrs Tyson telephone interrupted us and I immediately find myself sighing and frowning at my mum …
“What!!!” Mrs Tyson voice suddenly cut off the frown I was sĀ£nding towards my mum ….
“It cant be ,, did you say thvgs ,,escape no way, they broke your left arms , I’ll sĀ£nt my other guards to you now ”
She hanged up to meet with our curious faces …
“You have to help me Silvia ,, a lady c@mĀ£ with some thvgs , they attacked my guards and escaped with Lucas ”
I opened my mouth and closed it like a fish g@sping for air …
“What!!” My mum wi-de-ned her eyes
“But I have a GPS planted on his car ,, like I knew this is gonna happen,
that son of mine is just one rascal thvg”
“Calm down ma’am we are gonna get to him sooner , did he left with the thvgs ,,,”
“I think so” ,, she said uneasily
Luckily I was alre-ady putting on a red
t-back ,a black leather trou-ser and a black boot ,, I rushed inside and took my jacket ,,
I was about running out when i saw my two fighting ropes …
I gr-ab it along and move towards exit
“Mum get Jamie from school when its time, I might not meet up ”
“OK dearie,, take care ”
I raced outside with Mrs Tyson who ordered the guards hurriedly
“Go to them and Call an ambulance, Lucas has escaped ”
“But ma’am ” a bĀ©dy guard return
“What about your safety ,”
” I can handle the situation” I said to them while they glared at me oddly ……
A sm-irk grew on my face …
I moved backwards and wipe my ropes out ,…
Like flash I fl!pit right ,left, un-der my legs , roll it up , jump over in square , fl!pit right down and duck …
I look up at them while they all cl@p as if they just saw magic..
Amazement grew on their faces
“Waooooooo”
I stand up as sweats trickle down my face ….
“Are you sure to leave her in my hands now ,, ”
they all laughed with their bas-s voice ..
“Hundred percent ”
I glared back at Lucas mum who smile towards my direction.
I smile back and raced towards the limo …
We watch as the driver followed on the direction the GPS was pointing at ….
the more i think about the kind of bastard Lucas was , the more jumbled and angrier I bec@mĀ£
“What age were you when you started martial art Silvia ” Mrs Tyson voice cut me from my thought
I glanced sideways , and instantly felt so sad with the exhaustion i saw in her eyes plus the worries that lingers beneath…and I swear I feel like cursing Lucas right at her face ..
“Six”
“Wao no wonder you are that good ,, it just so rare this days you know for a lady to do martial art, you are really good at what you do, I love your skills ”
I nodded towards her and smile …
“Sure I am, thanks”
The ride took thirty minutes but the stance and anger in me was alre-ady cl!Ƨk!ng into 109degrees ,
thought i would loose my patient at any moment ..but glad.
The driver finally pu-ll into a parking space
While Mrs Tyson luminous eyes glared at me …
“We are here Silvia ,, Lucas is here .”..
I frowned ahead and pu-ll on my half gloves .
I got down slowly from the car ,, and ground my teeth to bite back my anger …
glancing around i furrowed my brows i could swear my eyes were blazing out in blue fire
I realise we were in an opened field as the breeze around sl@pped it’s airs into my eye ball ..
The plane customized in the Tyson’s name landed slowly …
And at a farther direction
Lucas was laughing uneasily while he shakes hands with some guys , they must be the thvgs
Look at the bastard ,, how dare he still laugh that way after committing a crime …
Fifteen of the thvgs if I didn’t count wrong
. ..
He turned sideways and hvgged someone ,, and instantly my scowl grew dee-per when i realise it must have been the girl that helped him escape from his mum…
” those guys are expert thvgs Silvia be careful”
I smile to myself and glanced sideways at his mum before I nodded ..
Funny……. so rich guys also has thvgs …
Tamping down my temper , I move sideways and angrily slammed the door of the limo so as to get their attention..
And there
When Lucas spĀ©tted us his fine face instantly went unsmiling ,
Of course he recognises me instantly..
And when he stared sideways at his mum who was angrily ordering the pilot to get down from the plane his mouth instantly flew open…
I walked forward boldly and wipe on my rope …
The thvgs laughed when they turn around to meet with my form ….
“Hahahhha Who the hell are you b-tch”
the one who must be their leader shouted
At the sound of that my head immediately snapped up in a frown…
i gritted my teeth and narrowed my eyes in resĀ£ntment.
“Did you just call me ”
Their mocking brows stretch up again
“Yes bit-ch, what you gonna do huh”
They eased out their different b!ows.
Do these people even know who is standing in front of them
This time my temper simmered a little h0tter and instantly the flames of righteous indignation leap up into my br@in
I angrily took a step then another and there.. Lucas shocking face was on me ….
Just on me ,, just me
Glaring wi-de eye as though he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
As though he just saw horror
I bounced forward, and locked eyes with his ..
Instantly i sĀ£nt him a sm-irk and wipe my rope in a twist ….
Now watch this
I hit into airs and turn left ,
hit to the side and turn right ,
a little grin cu-mpped up myl-ips while I wipe the ropes into airs with speed
Left ,right ,left right , left right ,left right , left right , double round, left right , left right ,
..I took a step , and another and then another ,,now racing forward,
I flew towards the direction of the thvgs and gave the leader a dim mak …
“Gbaoooooo”
We all watch as he fly into airs like kite ….when he finally landed …he struck out his eyes in pains and instantly went black out
I smile at the others and wipe on my ropes
“Come get me, if you can ”
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
