Beyond captivating
By Op. Amina
Episode 51
Lucas POV:
Eyes wi-de and dazed, I stare at Nigel and back at her as she cry …I couldn’t say anything for a few moment, just as it was the first moment he had brou-ght up the t©pic, of course it had hit me broad side
She was the girl I scre-wed in the red room that night …the girl I went to meet with at Nigel’s ap@rtment,
She was the girl I had scolded and called different kinds of names …. she was the same girl I saw on Silvia’s phone
My God I thought she was just an who-re . .I sat back kicking myself mentally ..
Christ she was beautiful, the most prettiest among the girls that fact can’t be denied ..
Something like a knot of guilt ti-ght£ñed my che-st as i stare at her,
Jesus am I really in reality …
“Then why I haven’t I met with her all these years Nigel” I asked softly
“because i knew you to be a j£rk back then Lucas, so I restricted her from meeting with you……..of course if i had let her… you would have scre-wed her again and left her,” Nigel’s brows tugged together in irritation
I stare at the fury beaming on his face and swallowed, of course It was the truth the Lucas back then would have scre-wed her and left her again…am such a j£rk
“And the baby, did you keep it”
She didn’t speak and neither did Nigel, she was shaking all over g@sping for air between the silent sob that racked her.. Right there I knew I was nothing but a j£rk for asking a question like that …of course I told her to ab-ort it…just like I have said cruelly to few other girls ..
“She almost died when she took the ab-ortion pills, you almost got her killed Lucas ……god I think I nee-d some fresh air, for crying out loud, am gonna suffocate in here ” Nigel shouted before storming out the door..
Who wouldn’t be angry,I would have done more worst if I were him….. I had certainly scre-wed his girl friend for heaven sake …
I moistened myl-ips now that there was only the two of us …
I stare at her for a long moment and cursed at myself
She almost died …my God what kind of life have I lived, what kind of careless life have i lived for Christ sake…
I was battling with what next to say when she speaks.
“I have to go” she said battling with more urge to cry …she stood up and raced for the door …
“Celine”
I was fast to j£rk my seat aside before racing after her
i blocked her path and hurriedly scooped her into my arms ..
“Leave me alone Lucas ” she struggled but never am I listening
“Celine, scold me, hit me, I deserved it”
I could only watch as she sobbe-d and hits me on the che-st with her soft fist ..
“Am sorry” I said repeatedly ..
“Am sorry I hurt you…am sorry i called you names, am so sorry for the pains I caused you Celine, I really wanna make it up to you”
Celine POV:
My heart skipped a beat, my eyes wi-de-ned in disbelief as i stared at him …
Certainly maybe i had heard him wrong, i started to shake my head, then st©pped when i saw the torment on his face, He was no brooder now, nor was he arrogant, nor self centered, nor egotistical, stubborn, or cras-s. Rather, he was open and as
vulnerable as i was. He was sorry …
A spark of hope flared
de-ep within my heart as I cry more on his che-st …
“Oh Lucas, I was only curious to meet with you then,”
The moment he wipe my tears away, I stare into his eyes, the beauty sparkling in it made me glanced sideways …
“I was only curious, I never knew that things shouldn’t be done that way…
I have kept the fact that I met with you from my friends, Silvia and others …so you won’t be loving one of them instead of me,
But faith had it all around …
With the breaking ap@rt issues I had with Nigel it made me realised it was never in love with you.
I was only captivated by your sight ,, and heaven knows I am still”
I smile between tears the moment he reached my hands to hisl-ips …
“Am sorry for being an easy catch Lucas if I hadn’t bring myself to you, non of what happened then would have happened”
“You don’t have to be sorry about anything Celine, I am the j£rk here whose d!¢k has no respect for anyone …”
At the sound of that ,, I met with his eyes, his expression was serious and willing ,, as he spoke ….what kind of world did this guy c@m£ from …
Why would he look more much younger and beautiful instead of growing older
“Am a changed person now Celine, and I promise I would do every thing possible to make it up to you, I promise”.
With that He took my hands to his and led me further to take my seat….
After ma-king sure i said he’s been forgiven ..We talked for a while, and heaven knows my heart felt free like it never had in years … , we talked about him most especially ….and as i smile I realise he was truly a changed person,
And Silvia , I view my friend as the most luckiest girl in the world cause all he did was talked about how amazing she was,
The moment he talked about those sl@ps and torture along with the kung fu stunts she pla-yed the day he was trying to escape his mums wrath, I found myself laughing ..
” I almost fainted that day Celine ,,your friend is a kill”
“Not an ordinary kill ,, she is made of iron, one dimmak, one die ” we both laughed and glanced up when the door cli-cked open…
“I won’t tolerate you ,, laughing with my girl friend behind my back Lucas” Nigel c@m£ in looking all calm with a smile on his face
“oh no Nigel, are you jealous” i smile at him
“of course I am I can see you guys finally sort out things, come here baby”
I stood up and went ahead to wra-p my arms around his n£¢k …
“You are my God s£nt Nigel …I love you so much” I whispered ..
“I was behind the door the whole time Celine, god I couldn’t believe what i heard, finally I got you” he smile s£dûçt!vely…
I could only smile at him as I experienced a rush of warmth, a feeling of tenderness and of love… finally the sight of Lucas made me realise I was in love with no other but him .. Nigel Norman.
“Silvia must be pres£nt if we had not disclose the other okay” he said softly
“Anything you say my love, am re-ady to go along with whatever you say ”
Slanting my nose and mouth over his I k!$$£d him with an urgency and hunger …
Guess we forgot everything around us cause Nigel didn’t st©p k!ss!ngme, again and again his mouth r0ûghly claiming mine and when he sighed his ton-gue swept the moist interior p@rt of myl-ips until we were both breathless
“Get a room plea-se, my office is not one ” Lucas called
“Seriously ” Nigel re-leased myl-ips and raised his brows at him ….
Suddenly the door to his office opened, and his other friends c@m£ in laughing with mine …
My eyes went hvge, when I saw the beautiful male model Jackson bale arms wra-pped around Joyce …. tom around Anabel’s and Elliot holding intently to Diana’s hand …
“My god these girls”
Immediately they saw me, they re-leased themselves from the guys and raced towards me like a mad cat shouting “celineeeeeeeeee”…they bu-mped into me almost pushing Nigel face flat on the floor
“Celine, whats wrong with your phone”
“Celine, look at you ,, you’ve grown more fatter in the as-s”
“Gosh we were so worried”
“My girl is looking so fine, whose d!¢k is it ” anabell t©p it all by whispering into my ear
“My god you are such a wild girl anabell” I tapped her on the arm…
“Wait” joy raised her questioning brows …
“Did you just k!$$£d mr Nigel ”
“No” I smile and shook my head …
“No I didn’t”
“F-ck you girl, you are such a liar yourl-ips gloss is all on his”
I stare at Nigel who t©uçhed hisl-ips as his other friends bu-mped on me ..
“Coded catch huh” they hit their b!ows on him while he raced away from their pla-yful clutch
The guys only laughed as the girls scattered the whole place, tou-ching and searching me as if I was some kind of gold …
We laughed more but this time it seems endlessly as Elliot and jack made pranks on Lucas’s tie,
The embarras-sed expression Lucas was wearing made us laughed almost rolling on the floor ….
“Guys st©p it” Lucas said covering his hands on his face ..
Is he shy ,,really
God it feels like an endless hours of happiness …we spent there just talking and laughing …
How i wish Silvia was here to complete the atmosphere …
I stare at Nigel as he laughed with the guys …
“Gosh he is so handsome, how much I blessed the day I met him”
I swipe the soft tears of my face and replied to whatever the girls were saying
Authors POV:..
They climbe-d down the car looking fit to kill anyone, brows ominously going high and low,,eyes were blazing, granite jaws set to a determined look…
With Silvia’s hand tied at the back …hunter dragged her on the shoulder as they stalked across the haggard yard smelling of tobacco smoke and ha-rd him..
“Sit ye as-s down there ” one of them said as they f0rç£fully dropped her on the floor…
“I’ve got the lady boss ” hunter gro-an ed throu-gh the phone
Silvia’s jaw clenched as she looked up at them with anger and hatred,,,she sat there with her back ba-rely tou-ching the steel as she struggled..of course if not for the heavy gun they all pointed at her head while tying the rope, she would have given them the ha-rd right they deserved.
“re-lease me now you bastards” she struggled at the rope tied heavily to hold her hands to the back but hunter only sm-irked at her
“Do not t©uçh her hunter, I don’t want you guys mis behaving, ” the thick voice throu-gh the phone commanded”
“since she refused to let go of that bastard ….at least with the stupid love I noticed both of them pla-ying lately she could lead him down there to me ,,,its time we kill him once and for all, and note …Silvia is a good fighter hunter so tie her to the steel, ti-ghtly ”
“Okay boss”
“take a picture of her alre-ady ti-ghtly tied… s£nt it to me now”
“Done boss”
Hunter signal to the others, “guys”
With a tiger face, he cut the phone and laughed …
“You bastard ” Silvia scolded, raw fury seeping throu-gh her like a blood from wound
“Come tie her up ,, we nee-d to s£nd her picture to boss”
“Why not re-lease me huh, you br@t”
Silvia shouted at him, feeling irritated at his ugly sight .
..his face was filled with different scars …his expo-sed biceps and n£¢k added to the the thick and rugged look which was heavily covered with tattoos…
He was black and hvge, exactly like a wolf
“Am gonna destroy all of your faces, tell your boss to come over so I could beat him or her like a br@t huh come on ”
Silvia shouted once more …the moment the two other guys lifted her to her foot ,,she spatted at one on the face …
“Don’t t©uçh me with your dirty hands You gold digger, you don’t know how ugly you are”
“Sh*t you witch”
The guy was about giving her ha-rd right on the face when hunter st©pped him …
“A warning from boss, so take the rope and tie her alre-ady” he pu-ll out his hem and took a de-ep drag with his eyes all over Silvia fury face…
in the next seconds Silvia was ti-ghtly tied to the round steel in the middle of the yard ..struggling more with an overwhelmed fury as they took different kinds of sh0ts
“Am gonna destroy you all” she shouted.

Phyllis paddled out of his hiding place after watching the delivery man deliver the parcel to Lucas Tyson himself, his head was down full of rage and pain it would be so much fun to torture the bastard with his own ba-re hands.. His Back was rounded as he bent over his speed race power bike.., he twisted the keys, zoom on the engine and curved west to the Sk-irt edge away from the Tyson’s mansion and zooming with speed out of town

Lucas POV:
Later at night ……
I was smiling along with the guys, although it was fake …..
the fact that we c@m£ back home without meeting Silvia built up this headache in my head, i was in fact jealous of the guys cause they have their girls with them ….
with a lonely heart i had walked into her room earlier and surprised all of her things were still intact in the room ….
“Where is she”
Has she really left for real…”???
“Can’t she just let us talk it out huh”
With my thoughts wailing inside me like one ha-rd crack…..I hissed and opened the parcel that was delivered to me personally 15minutes back, i hadn’t plan to open it tonight though but to get my hands busy while i watch the guys speak i decide to open only to g@sp out at the sudden sight of her pictures
” my God Silvia ” my eyes went hvge
“Hey man are you okay” Elliot called but I was fast to cover the parcel
.
I stare at all of their curious faces and smile
…
“Yes ,, excuse me I would be back,” I gr@bb£d my phone
I raced up the stairs and gently closed the door to my room only to see Matilda on my be-d ..
“Matilda what the hell are you doing in my room” I scolded
“I thought It would be best to wait for you here …..you know your friends and those low clas-s girls are so lousy” she roll her her eyes and eyed me in a s£dûçt!vemanner
She was wearing only her p@n-ties and br@, she was really Se-xy and fresh but to hell with her se-xiness.
“Get the hell out now ” I shouted with rage..
When she refused I dropped the parcel and raced towards her …
“Lucas am your fiancee” she cried out
“Says my parent not me” I scooped her into my arms and carried her aggressively before racing for the door
The moment I dropped her she winced..
“Lucas”
“Matilda for crying out loud, go back to Australia and leave me alone” I shouted at her and slammed the door at her face
“Stupid girl”
I put a lock on it and hurriedly picked up the parcel ….my hands were trembling as i glanced down at the message behind the pictures
“Lucas tyson ….She’s in my colt, all you nee-d is to show yourself and we’ll let her go …,and note this … come alone , if you think of bringing the cops along she’s a dead woman…got it”
Fear of her tied like a criminal held me paralysed for a moment, then galvanized me ,
” my god Silvia…”
I ran into my closet and dressed hastily
…pausing again to stare at the address and her pictures …, I wra-pped it into jean trou-sers, gr@bb£d my car and fled out of the room as though chased by a demon I was glad Matilda was no where around …
I raced towards the stairs but
The sound of my friends with the girls got me racing back ….
Almost falling, I raced towards my balcony only to meet with the gravity of the dark night …
I rack my hands throu-gh my hair, the fact was I was alre-ady going crazy
I raced back and roll over my be-d,
I was about racing into my closet when I fell face flat …
“$h!t” almost hurriedly i stood while p@n-ting and g@sping to gr-ab three of my be-d sheet ,, i tie it together and raced towards my balcony …
“Am coming, plea-se don’t hurt her ”
The moment my legs hit on the ground …almost falling I raced towards my car like mad dog…

pri-vate investigator Alan sli-pped out of the yard and raced back to his car where he’d packed on the dirt road at the corner that lead to those haggard yards, great full to be out of the heat and unplea-sant smell he punched in Nigel’s number .
“Its me sir”
“Oh Mr Alan, how is it going”
He clenched his phone with one hand while swiping sweat away from his face and n£¢k with his handkachief..
“They have miss Silvia alre-ady sir, and I think they wanna use her to lure Mr Tyson down here for his execution..”
“What !!! Lure ”
” ,to what I was able to find out, the guys real name was Phyllis shun, but his current identity said other wise,”
Alan stare down at the paper on his hand
“Zion maylor, working for the Tyson’s a brother to a girl who died years back Whitney…..yes whitney shun,, he c@m£ back to cape town to get his revenge ”
“Whitney shun….. , my God zion was Whitney’s twin brother.
” try all possible ways to st©p Mr Tyson sir ,, cause I think to what I heard them saying, he is alre-ady on his way coming for miss Silvia’s rescue ”
“Rescue,, is he some sort of iron man or what, am at his place right now but wait …..hope its not what am thinking ,,,alright mr Alan, am getting the cops down there, s£nd me the address now plea-se”
“Got it ”
“Am staying around for any possible info, be quic-k”
He disconnected his phone, after s£nding the address to Nigel, he hop back into his car and heaved his way along the rou-gh stew path to a corner where he would be able to get a better view of who goes out and comes in, thirty minutes later he glanced up only see Lucas raced out his car shouting ….
“am here okay , just leave her plea-se ,, don’t hurt her, plea-se “….
Two hvge men c@m£ out, gr@bb£d him by the shoulder and f0rç£fully pushed him into the yard…
