Beyond captivating
Episode 66
A bright wedge of moon beamed silvery light down in heaven with Matilda stare focused on it
She took a de-ep drag on her cigarette and exhaled a steam of exhaust ,, she saw no sign of Lucas or Mrs Tyson coming home, just Mr Tyson who had c@m£ two hours earlier,
she didn’t want to think about it anymore…
Not a single thing pertaining to Silvia,, Lucas or the Tyson’s family ..
Her eyes was clouded with tears …she didn’t wanna think about anything just now ..
The sight of Silvia and Lucas both at the p@rty had got her feet stuck on the entrance , eyes wi-de withl-ips p@rted,… she couldn’t ba-re it, she couldn’t ba-re the humiliation …firstly Lucas announced that horror of a woman as the woman he loves, and secondly , there they were.
…… . at the p@rty smiling to themselves all re-ady to make a fool out of her ..
She had ran back to her car, pity she got to jam with the flocks of reporters who had raced after her like flies ..asking her why she wanted to snatch Lucas Tyson away from the woman he loves …
“Miss matilda, another news today got us so shocked, Lucas Tyson announced to the world the woman he was truly was in love with what can you say about that???”
“Why try snatching Lucas away from the woman he truly loves??
” speak up miss hicks”
She remembered how she had scolded the reporters, how her b©dy guards had pushed them aside and how she had flew into her car with tears all on her face
The Tyson had brou-ght her here only to make a fool out of herself ..to inflict disgrace upon her all in the name of what…Marriage
All she wanted now was a little time to wind down ,,she took another long pu-ll and it felt as though she just tasted horror… The woman was not even as half as beautiful as she was….
“I hate you Lucas ”
she angrily dropped the cigarette bu-tt on the gras-s and crushed it with the ties of her heels then stared up at the moon…
Even if she ends up going back to Australia …she was gonna teach them both the hell type of person she was,
“I’m maltida hicks no one dare toy with my emotions, no one”
She pushed herself to her feet and shuffled back into the house
“I thought you would be in be-d by now Matilda” Mr Tyson was pouring himself a night cap from a bottle of br@ndy when Matilda emerges from the door …
She stare up at Mr Tyson , pressed herl-ips together and tamped down the urge to scream at his face, she didn’t wanna fight, not now not ever , she just couldn’t wait for morning to come in full …she nee-ds to get the hell outta here and back to Australia.
She didn’t want his sympathy or his contribution, she didn’t want him as-suring her in anyway about Lucas …
She saw it vividly that Lucas didn’t love her and she wasn’t the type of a woman who would f0rç£ herself on a man, She was too beautiful to and as much as her b©dy might have wanted to be with Lucas Tyson she didn’t think her heart could stand been make jest of….
“Come here my dear, let’s talk” Mr Tyson said
She lowered her head to the drink mr Tyson had offered her, she hesitated for a moment then decided to take it while Mr tyson lead them both to the front couch…
They both sat in silence for a moment but was broken when he spoke …
“My wife left me Matilda, and I do not know whether she would be coming back or not”
Mr Tyson grit his teeth against the pain in his heart the idea that his wife was far away in more ways than just distance made his heart ache..he had stayed awake thinking she would come in ,,hoping they were gonna have the chance to sit and talk …but it was useless she wasn’t coming back …
“What happened” Matilda asked sipping on her drink to calm the breath that suddenly got frozen in her lungs ..
Mr Tyson got to his feet and launched himself to a farther direction then turn back to Matilda who was curiously staring at him…
“Because she found out a truth I was hoping I could keep away from her forever but guess I was wrong …, she found out I had a now twenty nine years old son she couldn’t ba-re the fact that the son c@m£ from non but a friend of hers so she left ..”
” I’m so sorry” matilda stare down at her drink
“You do not have to be ,,I knew you are distressed about the announcement lucas made ,about Silvia, you do not have to worry about that, I made a promise to your father Matilda, plea-se you just have to give us some little time, Lucas is gonna come around ”
Mr Tyson sat and reached up to t©uçhed her cheeks but Matilda shook her head in tears …
“When” she asked.
Mr tyson opened his mouth and closed it like a fish g@sping for hair, he couldn’t reply her, not because he didn’t want to, but he just doesn’t have an answer to that, he knew inside himself Lucas was never gonna agree to the whole marriage stuff not when Silvia has his child with her, that was the plan before his wife left, they were gonna tell him
“Why did you arrange us both when you guys knew Lucas was in love with her, what you said was he never had anyone” Matilda ached her brow
“It wasn’t our intention, we were only trying to fix Lucas ways of life we never knew he was gonna fall for her in the process,”
Matilda shook her head and cleared the tears on her face
“We both know Lucas is never gonna come around because he doesn’t love me that’s it, I nee-d to go back to Australia, my staying back here is of no use”
“Matilda listen”
Just that she raced back inside….Mr tyson could only watch her go and once more he felt some p@rt of his world shifted again and not liking it one bit …
He find it so ha-rd to un-derstand young women anyways …but all he cared about now was
…this damn mess he’d created with his wife most especially, it didn’t matter how his br@in tried to discount everything now but in the light of day he should always get it to his skull that he fv¢ked up, he disappointed every one
Every time he remembered his wife beautiful face, he heard that voice, heard the malevolence in it, felt it t©uçh him like a cold bony f!nger …
He sighed now as he thought of the sl@p he received, it was the first time his wife ever sl@pped him, oh God if only he could rewind time ..he knew he had hurt her so bad and all he nee-ded now was non but her forgiveness…
“Where are you Beatrice” he said softly this time.
“Am never gonna be myself without you…don’t you know that”

France
After dinner Mrs Tyson pushed herself on her feet and shuffled into the kitchen smiling softly at the sight of her daughters husband whosel-ips would never st©p eating at her daughter’s along with a soft care-sses on her belly …, she had arrived to France three hours back to the welcoming arms of her daughter and husband …
She had been happy…. the fact that she had seen her daughter so different and heavily pregnant was enough for her ,,she had always lived with the guilt that she mislead Sarah , but the view of things made her realise her prayer on them both was a jem,
They were both now in love and happy together
“Why didn’t you tell me about your pregnancy darling” she had asked Sarah who only laughed with her mother’s hand locked on hers …
they had both engaged in a conversation while Sebastian had offered to prepare dinner,
“I wanted to give you guys a surprise mum, Sebastian and I was planning on visiting you guys in Capetown next month anyways, thought I would be the first to give you a grand child but that rascal had” she laughed …
“Oh yes, that rascal is really a C.E.O now sarah, you wouldn’t recognise your brother am telling you ”
“I can’t wait mum, Its been so long I’ve spoken to him ,, he ba-rely even come online,”
“That’s Lucas for you dear, big boy doesn’t chat” they had both laughed
“Mum you know its just so ha-rd to believe all the stories you just told me ,, dad is really very secretive we all know him for that ,, but still you’ve gat to forgive him mum ,, you both are old now, you at fifty three and him alre-ady walking up to sixty , you guys are alre-ady with a grandchild and expecting another” Mrs tyson had smile at sarah as they both feast further on their conversation and some gossips that nee-ded to be told …
“Oh mum, I missed you so much” Sarah had laughed as mum and daughter both pu-ll each other into a loving hvg.
Sarah was a very beautiful woman who looks a lot like her mum when she was younger,,alre-ady at thirty but her looks and curvy shape makes her look more like a twenty five year old, the mere dimples on her two soft cheeks could make the strong go weak , although She had gotten married to Sebastian without loving him one bit, but as time pas-ses, the man had been nothing but a patient lamp…all willing and loving, he had prove to her there is nothing in the world that could be much sweeter than love,
And the first time they had both made love after almost a year after marriage proves that, she realised what man on earth could have really waited for her..despite her cruel ways towards him he was able to still love her endlessly …the time she started to realise her feelings was the time she got so sick, the weeks she used in be-d made Sarah realised how lucky she truly was …Sebastian st©pped work,, ended all his daily activities just to be with her, despite in sick be-d she would scold him, gave him different kinda names, accused him of always ma-king mistakes, call him a good for nothing ,, but he never mind, one thing Sebastian would never do was argued back when Sarah starts her nags…yet he would always be the one she saw before she sleeps and always the one she wakes up to see….what more could a woman want, he was a very a handsome man, tall, rich, caring, clas-sy , ha-rd working and special …
What else was she looking for,, the day she had k!$$£d Sebastian,, he had been shocked to the throat ,,heart pounding as if it was on fire…. he never expected it , was this Sarah, he had argued inside himself, but when she had c@m£ at him again and k!$$£d his n£¢k and slowly down to his broad che-st he knew he got her…
He knew he got her finally as she slowly str!pped his shi-t off him ,,that was the first time they made love which had completely gave Sarah the prove of how madly she was in love with him…
and since then they’ve been the most happiest love birds ever, anyone who tried staring at Sarah’s man for no goddamn reason got an hearing to face …
That’s just what love is all about…
****
A jumble of emotions left over the confrontations mrs tyson had with her husband knotted her in the che-st as she stare out to the full moon throu-gh the kitchen window. She cleared the tears on her face, she has never felt so unsettled before, it was as if earth was shifting beneath her,
She wasn’t Greg Tyson’s wife anymore ,,but no matter how she had viewed things she legally was, she stare down at her ring and remembered the beautiful times they both had spent together ..
“Oh Gregory” she whispered
She stare back at her daughter who was busy laughing and Gisting with her husband, not wanting to disturb them she took the back side and walked slowly into the room Sarah’s husband had prepared for her earlier…she walked around the room and finally looked at herself in the mirror ..she felt raw and weak, she really wanted to torture her husband but she couldn’t, they were both old adults
Sarah was right, she didn’t nee-d this anymore, those times she would have thought of leaving her husband were past, now they were both grand father and mother ..
Nigel was a big man and so also Lucas who was alre-ady a father and her daughter who was gonna be a mother soon .
She had better go back soon, so they could grand father and mother their children kids together guess a son is added to her children, she got no choice than to accept Nigel and let the past be …just a week and some days to the following month and they would all be back to Capetown..
*******
The maids c@m£ around to announce Lucas tyson sudden arrival to Matilda, she sm-irked and smile back before the mirror as she ran her comb throu-gh her hair, with in her she knew she wasn’t gonna let go of Lucas that easily without teaching him a lesson ..the fact that he c@m£ alone was enough for her to make her plans work ..
She gotta show them both the type of a person she was before she left for Australia..
Her bags was been carried outside alre-ady just this plan, and she was sure it would be over between the two …
She slide into her hills and made her way upstairs, her feet made no sound on the stairs or on the tiled floor when she landed … As she got to Lucas entrance she swallowed ,she hope the maid she planted on Lucas balcony was all re-ady to carry out the plan
Thank goodness his be-droom door was open but the room seems deserted .. For a moment she seems disappointed but when he c@m£ out of the bath room ba-re che-sted with just his bo-xers on and drying his hair with his phone clung to his ear.
Matilda bit herl-ips and smile, perfect opportunity … . .lucas was trying to pick out of the two shi-ts he dropped on the be-d but st©pped shut when he saw her
His expression didn’t change as much as a blink as he continue talking throu-gh his phone …
“What is it Matilda..” Lucas demanded the moment he dropped his phone
His brows were lifted in a kind of resignation as he stare at her and back to his shi-t
Just that Matilda took the opportunity, she signalled at the maid who brou-ght out a small c@m£ra from the corner, still standing on ti-p toe despite her high heels Matilda slide her hand around Lucas Tyson n£¢k , draw his head down and hurriedly gave him a ton-gue lashing k!sses ..
“What!!! Mmmmm” that was a struggle
Lucas was trying to project what just happened but Matilda took the opportunity and sank di-pper into Lucas p@rtedl-ips …. Before he could think of pu-lling away, several pictures has been taken …
“What the hell is the meaning of this Matilda” Lucas pushed her away almost aggressively with a frown
And there matilda sat quietly on his be-d and began crying …
“Am going lucas, am going back to Australia just wanted to have something about you to hold on to, plea-se k!ssme again…I know its over between us and I would never see you again”
At that lucas stare at her, plea-se k!ssme again that word rang throu-gh his br@in,, was she crazy or what , he thought of s£nding her face flat out of his room ….but when he thought about it again he see nothing wrong in giving her the k!ssshe wanted ,, at least she was leaving ….. that alone was enough, if it’s a k!ssshe wants, she should have it and leave
He drew her hand and lifted her up,
“Thank you for un-derstanding I loved someone else Matilda,”
Matilda nodded a fake nod and cleared the tears on her face slowly Lucas bent to place a k!sson her cheek …but Matilda drew his head closer gently and k!$$£d him but this time Lucas didn’t try to pu-ll away ….and on the other side, pictures were being taken …
she didn’t make it lasted for long though so it would look friendly at least …kai what a br@iny matilda..
“Good bye lucas” she walked slowly towards the door and turn back to lucas who smile at her softly …
“Wait for me downstairs I’ll see you off”
She nodded and closed the door behind her ….
