”What is wrong?” Gem asks seeing his face as
he walks to her, he nears her stopping
momentarily.
”Lets go home” he takes her hand.
”What happened in there , what did they say,
what is wrong Jacob?”
”Later Gem, not in the best of moods.”
Jaime turns at that moment spinning
Alexanderand sees them leaving. The
countenance on his father’s face told him that
something upsetting had happened. He looks
behind him to see Jimmy and a few others
leaving the conference room with smiles on
their faces.
Jimmy catches his eyes , he blows him a kizz
, then he laughs walking away. Jaime stops
dancing as the music stops ushering the
Mayor out.
”I would be back and then we leave, go sit or
something” Jaime leaves her on the dance
floor and goes after his father.
”Phew!! Finally, i can go use the ladies, been
holding it in for ages.” Alexandra asks for the
way to the ladies from a p@$$ing waiter and
makes her way there when directed.
*
Jimmy watches her for a moment and then
follows her, as soon as he reaches the hall
seeing that no one was coming just then, he
grabs her hands and nudges her backwards
immediately, preventing her from moving
forward but backwards as she made to get
away from him. He nudges her backwards
again, a little more and she would be right
where he wants her. ”Hey princess, told you to
watch your back didn’t i?”
She moves her hands away, pushes him back
and then slap-s him ha-rd across his face
”That’s for holding my hands stiffly earlier”
Before he could speak , he gets another one
immediately ”Don’t you ever touch me again”
she warns him. The anger in his eyes was
obvious. He grabs both of her hands and then
pushes her ha-rd she slams her back to the
wall.
She Gr0-ns in pain. He reaches for her again,
grabbing her and digging his nails into her
flesh.
“I would love to hit you back and make sure
you don’t recognize your face but I got
beautiful plans for you. Something you would
not enjoy you bitc-h!! ” He spat, she hits his
hands for-cefully away.
“Let go off me” she flings her bag at him and
made to grab the vase of flower close to her.
He reaches for it quickly.. Kicks the door open
behind her and then pushes her in. She falls
tumbling backwards and hitting her right
shoulder to shelve. He picks and flings are
bag inside and locks it immediately and then
puts the key in his pocket. Handing the vase
to waitress who just came out of the hall and
p@$$ing throu-gh.
She frowns looking at the door. ”Did someone
just go in there, i saw the door close, that is a
sto-re room”
‘Nope, no one” Jimmy hands her the vase
”kindly put that away”
“Jimmy! Jimmy!!! ” Alexander manages to get
herself up holding onto her shoulders, she
gets to the door and screams while ban-ging
on the door.
“Jimmy I swear to God if you don’t open this
door I.. Jimmy dammit! ”
It was sound proof.
“Did you hear anything Sir? ” the waitress looks
around, listening. She was hearing a very very
faint thumping.
“No. Must be the guests in the banquet hall
doing the dance.. Tap tap hu-g? ” He laughs
“Hurry along now, you must be nee-ded. ”
Jimmy waits till the waitress leaves, then he
disappears into the hall.
*
He sights him at the far end of the hall and
then goes straight to Anderson.
”So, a certain damsel is in distress, locked
away and ready to be devoured. Thank me
later” he says handing him the key. He laughs
and walks away. “Don’t forget to get pics for
the gram” Jimmy laughs “The media would
love this one”. He exchanges numbers with
him.
Anderson has a broad smile on his face as
Jimmy chuckles away. He waits as people
begin to leave. He heads out to where his
rented car is parked and then takes out his
handkerchief. He enters his car, winds up and
then fishes for the bottle .
This was for plan B just in case she begins to
scream when she sees and recognizes him and
feel she doesn’t want to be with him. He was
taking no chances.
He opens the bottle and tipped some liquid
contents into his handkerchief.
He smiles as he whistles his favourite tune. He
makes his way back into the hall after folding
the handkerchief. He would wait till everyone
had left. He would hide in the toilet till its
empty. Then he would go get her. That way..
No one would be around to notice him
dragging her over his shoulders and into his
car. Again.. That is plan B.
Plan A is..
She will be happy to see him and they would
walk out together and zoom into paradise.
No. Who is he kidding. Definitely plan B.
*
“Father, what happened in there. Wait up..is..
are you okay? ”
“Now you care Jaime. Now you do? ”
” I.. I.. “‘He trails off.
Jacob shakes his head “I can only do so much
for you but you have drained me of my energy
and I cannot fight all of them for you. Not even
your brother. You don’t want it? All this. Fine.
But I will not give up on you because I see
potential. But I give up trying to reason with
you. You can show up at the pitching and
make a mess of things you have being doing
of recent and sell to them these your
recklessness. That’s fine. You can also not
show up too. That’s fine. But I would be
there. We would be there rooting for the boy
we all see the great potentials in. The rest is
up to you”
“Why.. Why won’t you just left me go. If you
did you wouldn’t have all this troubles. Why
father?. All this is happening because he
knows that I do not have a right to this.
Because he feels threatened and sidelined and
unloved. Father.. Let me go. Write me off your
will. I am not the perfect son you envision.
Like you have seen I have my flaws. I do not
want to keep embarr@$$ing you. it’s simple,
take all i have been given, give it to him. Cut
me off. I have my company, i will survive.
Everything else..he can have it, please. Aside
that, i would be a shitty President and a
horrible Mayor, what i am good at is giving
bad news to the media and being me. I like
that life , i want this life not yours, not Jimmy’s
not what you all want. I want my life, let me
have it”
“No Jaime.. No. You think I am putting you out
there because I feel you would be better
because of what he had done? No. I know and
have seen you are better. That is all. You are
both my sons. But the anger he has inside of
him for me is too much. But I will never give
up on you. No matter how much this hurts.”
”But you gave up on him?”
”Had no choice, he is far gone but you aren’t
and you are nothing like him”
“Father.. Please. The board of directors would
keep going at this an.. ”
His father enters the car and zooms off.
“Dammit. ” He swears.
“Jaime? I am so sorry I.. ” Christine comes to
him. She had been watching them, listening,
waiting to give him her shoulders. She hu-gs
him from behind, he stiffens.
He is quiet.
He is sad, angry that he cannot help but let his
father get hurt so he can let him go. Having no
one he can open up to to tell his pains, his
fears and his troubles. He is a man stuck in a
corner and the only way to salvage the situation
is to give Jimmy what he wants. And the only
way is to hurt his father to let go off him, if he
does, Jimmy would be happy, his father and
mother would hurt but..eventually, time heals,
things would get better. He hopes.
God, the pain in his father’s eyes was
unbearable. He couldn’t look into his mother’s
eyes either.
He wishes there was someone he could pour
his heart to, but no one. They wouldn’t
un-derstand. He was tired, he wants to just sli-p
away into nothingness and wish he was never
here. He closes his eyes.
Some nights, he just wants to bury his head and
cry from the pain.
Hands squee-zes him ti-ght ”I am here for you,
always baby” bolting him out of his thoughts.
As much as he would love to fall into arms and
hide his pains, she was the last person he
would think off. A stranger was better at the
moment to her, atleast they wouldn’t ask any
questions. But Christine, she..he has no interest
with her coming close, especially with her
recent stunts.
He unwraps her arms “Not now Christine ” he
turns walking away.
“Oh.. I will wait. You will come to me for
comfort eventually baby, you will. ” she
watches him. He didn’t acknowledge whether
he heard her or not.
Jimmy appears beside her. ”How is it going
with pretty boy?”
”On track, he just pla-ying ha-rd to get” She
sm-irks., Jimmy nods
”I see”
“Where is Alexandra? ”
“Anderson is on his way to her. ”
“I hope he fxxks her throu-ghall the holes she
has in her body and cripples her. I hope he
posts it all in the internet too. ”
“Yep. He is some sort of a weirdo don’t you
think? ” Jimmy ru-bs his jaw.
“I don’t care. Hopefully in this mood he is in.
He would want to have company. No
Alexandra. He would come to me. ”
“That’s the plan”
She turns and walks away. Jimmy smiles.
“Gullible. If you think I don’t know you
Christine.. You must be stupid! What i didn’t
tell you is that once Anderson is done ra-ping
her till hell and back, he would do some
domestic violence to her whole body, then he
would take pictures, then he would dump her
at his gate, discreetly of course, hide at a
corner until Jaime’s attention is called, once
the fool steps out of the gate and gets her,
clic-k clic-k goes the camera, pictures sent to
me, i send to my pal and by tomorrow, we get
a new serial rapist and a domestic violence
man known as pretty boy, i wonder if it would
give his mother a nervous breakdown and
Pops a heart attack?” He ru-bs his jaw as he
smiles wickedly ”But it would definitely call for
his head, the public chanting ”Jail, jail!!!” he
laughs ”But one thing would be certain, Jaime
will not be able to raise his head on the
streets anymore, everything he has and owns
would be stri-pped away and maybe he would
do the time. Pops would have no choice other
than to write him off due to the glaring
evidence, i get my position and then one road
ticket to Mayor-ship. Pops would be a retired
old man with a broken heart and a wife to
tend to him. Jaime would be forgotten and all
would be right in the world. Christine?
Irrelevant!! ” He laughs ”Anderson had better
make sure she can’t talk so she would not be
able to say its not Jaime.” He frowns ”But, he
would definitely make sure of that, else she
would spill on him. Wait, even if she spills on
Anderson and he gets caught, if Anderson
dares to call his name he would off him,
before he even thinks of doing that”
His phone rings. “Yep. Got those pictures
handy? Nice.. Be a dear and leak it just the
way I want. Distract the public for a few hours
tomorrow. Great. Hope to see the news all
shining times. Fantastic., and oh, i may even
have another blockbuster pictures in my hands
soon and you are going to love t, it would be
all shades of gory. Hahaha!!!”
He walks away entering his car and zooming
off.
*
He sat down brooding. It was when Adam
came to him did he realize he had lost track of
time.
“Sir? Is everything okay? ”
Jaime nods.
“Shall we? Everywhere had thinned out. ” Jaime
looks around.
Jaime looks around, nods getting up from the
chair he had been sitting on and they go the
limousine. He sli-ps in. Then it occurs to him
he didn’t hear someone being annoying next to
him for a while now.
“Where is Alexander? ”
“I thought she was with you Sir? ”
“No. I left her in the hall and told her to stay
put.. Don’t tell me she left. She isn’t supposed
to go anywhere! ”
“Let me go get her then. She may be
somewhere ”
Ten minutes later he comes back out shaking
his head.
“She isn’t there Sir”
“What do you mean she isn’t there?” Jaime
frowns.
“Like she isn’t there”
Jaime alights from the limousine and then
makes his way to the few security details
stepping out of the building and about to
leave.
“Did you see the lady I was with? Did she
leave”
“Erm… No Sir” They answer
”Did she leave?”
”We don’t know sir. ”
“last i saw her she was in the hall” One of
them says pointing back at the building.
“Me too. ”
“So you didn’t see her leave?”
“We saw alot of people leave. Maybe she left
too with the crowd. No one is in there. ”
“No one is in there? Are you sure. Did you
check?”
“No one is in there. ” Adam confirms coming
behind him.
“Dammit Alexandra. Why do you have to be so
damn difficult.?” He says to himself looking
around, he turns to Adam ”And there is no way
she would have gone to mine. Take me to the
Brooks. ”
“But Sir…”
The look He gave Adam had Adam turning
away.
”Have a good evening Sir, if you nee-d us you
can call us”
”Goodnight Gentlemen, there is no nee-d!”
They walk back to the limousine, enter and
then Adam drives out.
The rest of the security detail leave the
building. It would be shut down in an hour
when the maintenance team leaves.
*
Anderson who had been hiding in the toilet
checks his time and then opens the door.
Everywhere is quiet, everyone must have gone.
He comes out and makes his way to the door.
The one Anderson had told him Alexanderwas
locked behind.
He is smiling, anticipating the moment.
He felt ha-rden just thinking about what would
go down with both of them tonight.
”Damn Alexander, i cannot wait to have you, its
been years.!!” he lic-ks his li-ps as he puts the
key to the nob and then unlocks it.
*
Alexanderis seated on the floor. She had been
Ban-ging and screaming for her lungs out for
Jimmy to open the door and now she was
exhausted. It was late. It was dark. It was
obvious the room was sound proof. No one
could hear her. And by this time, everyone
must have gone, even Jaime.
She would kill Jimmy. She swears it.
She grabs her phone. ”Damnit!” she exclaims.
At first she didn’t have network, she would have
called Tinny-B since she didn’t even have
Jaime’s number. She would have either found
her way down and made a scene and maybe
broken Jimmy’s head with a bat. But eventually,
Jimmy would have had no choice other than to
open the door for her. but now, her phone
battery was dead.
She was fxxked. She may have to be here till
tomorrow.
She holds her growling tummy. She was
hungry too.
Now how the hell was she going to get out of
here? .
*
“If I cut throu-ghhere we would get there fas-ter
” Adam offers.
“Okay! But.. Why would she leave here without
my consent though? ”
Adam shrugs.
”You know what, forget it. I am not in the best
of moods, she can have a night to herself. She
is annoying and she would only make my
mood worse. Lets go back home, we get her
tomorrow, and with the way this is going, it
would be over by month’s end and i may not
nee-d her services anymore”
”Okay Sir”
“Dammit!” Jaime exclaims.
“What Sir. ”
“I don’t have my wallet and phone with me,
wanted to make some important calls” Jaime
touches his pocket and looks around the seat.
“Where is it? Remember when last you had it?”
Adam looks at him from the mirrors as he
keeps his eyes on the road.
Jaime thinks for a bit “Back at the event
centre. I had left it on the table right before the
dance.” He remembers.
” So should we turn back? ”
“Yes. Turn. We are just five minutes out”
“Okay Sir” Adam makes a U-Turn.
*
She heard the door lock turn. She stands up
immediately. She grabs her shoes.
She was going to hit it right on his head. Oh he
decided to let her go right, he just wait. She
was going to smash his face in.
The door opens. It was dark in the room. She
saw a shadow of a man walk in and then
pause at the door way.
“Jimmy. I swear to God if you don’t move I
would make sure my heels cause you to bleed
you @$$hole. Locking me in here? What was
your point hmm. To scare me ?”
No answer. The shadow of a man still told
there.
She squints her eyes..
“Jimmy? ”
“No. Not Jimmy. ” there was a sm-irk to his
voice.
“Who are you?”
“It’s me my beautiful Alexa”
She gasps. Fear gripping her as the shoes
falls from her hand. She backs away..
No, it can’t be. No..it cannot be..
“Papa? ”
“Yes. Papa. Oh Alexander. I have missed you
so. ”
He shuts the door, locks it and then begins to
walk towards her in the dark.
Alexander opens her mouth and then screams.
