“$h!t!
mum what’s the meaning if all this?” Samuel asked in anger and I stamped my feet repeatedly in an angry and confused state
what the hell is wrong with that Elsa of a girl?
she should have tried everything she can to get it
that was a one time opportunity
such opportunities are rare and uncommon why did she let it sl!poff her hands
now Samuel is gonna make this more ha-rd for me
I pace around the sitting room in anger
“mum!” Samuel snap and I felt anger run down my spines
“what do you want Samuel?
what?” I yelled at him and he s£nt me an angry glare
“your ma-king me go crazy mum!
your seriously ma-king me go gobsma-ck” he yelled and I felt anger heat up in me
“am the one who’s going crazy here Sam, am the one who’sfu-cking going crazy” I yelled flunging myself on the nearest couch
did I lake a mistake in getting Elsa involved in all this?
I don’t want the cops to get back at my son and I least I would have got the goons, as-sas-sins and some street guys into this
they would have gotten Xavier to sign the company into my name but it won’t be a neat job
and I want this job to be clean with no trace or f!nger pointing at my son and i
we are in for something big
something large
something that’s rightfully for me and my family
this won’t have happened if u hadn’t lost my daughter
this won’t have gone this way if Audrey hadn’t left me
I really nee-d to do something fast
yeah! something fast before this gets out of hand
“mum why don’t you just let me do this myself!
why don’t you want me to go an extra mile mum!
if you had allowed me do this my own way by now it would have been all done and dusted but you just won’t listen” Samuel said and I took in a de-ep breath
“Samuel! just let me make use of my head okay!
lemme think !!” I yelled and hr frowned
“you’ve been thinking for the past six years mum!
what have you come up with?
a pretty face pickpocket whom you’ve as-signed to get Xavier’s signature huh!” he yelled and I felt my head ban-g against my b©dy
geez!
“what do you expect of me Samuel!
what do you expect me to do?” I yelled and he stood up from the couch he had sat on
“i expect you to let me do this on my own mum!
in my own way “he rasp and I folded my hand un-der my bo-ob s
“I don’t want blood shed Samuel!
I don’t want life to be lost” I yelled and he gave me a ha-rd stare
“but they wanna spill blood mum!
they are re-ady to kill us for it don’t you get it mum!
can’t you see how desperate they are” he said and I could feel the hurt in his voice
yeah
he’s right!
they are desperate
“Mrs Orlando is re-ady to kill for it but I just can’t” I said and he frowned taking the stairs up to his room in anger

Elsa
I whistled loudly, flung my bag on my shoulders re-ady to leave when mum ran out from the kitchen holding a large cooking spoon
“good morning mum!” I greeted pe-cking her lightly
“your going out this early again Elsa
what’s it your not telling your dad and I?” she asked ignoring my greetings
“mum! see you and dad just don’t get it!
am going out to the street as usual” I said and she frowned
“and when did you start lying to me Elsa?” she asked and I gulp in nervously
she’s just so good at detecting my words if they are true or not
“I aren’t lying to you mum and you know it
I said and she wore a disappointed look on her face
“where were you throu-gh out yesterday?” she asked and I blinked my eyes ra-pidly
“I was with my friend mum!” I said and she de-epened her frown
“you don’t make friends Elsa and you have none!
so what are you talking about?” she said and I took in a tiring breath
“I was with jack!
yeah! jack!” I said and mum sized me up
“what exactly is it your hiding from me Elsa!
am your mother, you nee-d to st©p being secretive with me cause a guy c@m£ looking for you yesterday and he told me boldly he’s Jack
so which other one are you talking about?” she asked and I froze
“you know what mum!
I will tell u everything but this isn’t the right time mum!
plea-se don’t f0rç£ me to tell you” I pleaded and her face brightened up her face
“alright then!
when is that gonna be?” she asked
“geez! mum!
it’s gonna take a while!
maybe 2 years, 3 years” i said and her eyes shone
“what!
that’s a whole lot of time hell no” she said and I chuckled
“am kidding mum!
bye am running late” I said walking towards the door
“breakfast is almost re-ady” she said and I smiled
“I will take it as dinner mum!
I nee-d to go” I said and rushed out before she will throw me another br@in wrecking question
luckily for me, I have some money to p@rt away for fare an ad I did just that
I alighted from the cabby, paid my fare and walked towards the gate, input the house pas-sword and got into the compound
every worker had access to the house pas-sword except the room pas-swords
that’s one thing Mrs Orlando made sure of
I took the lift to sir Xavier’s room
the door was opened slightly
thank heavens I had arrived early today
he’s isn’t gonna scold or yell at me today
I got hod of the door knob and opened the door wi-dely, going into his room
geez!
the they room was in a mess
clothes thrown into different corners in the room
bottles of wine on the floor
so many pictures
file and some of his jewelries on the floor
the be-d sheet, pillows and duvet weren’t left out
everything was littered everywhere
the room was in a total mess
I have never seen his room messed up like this
perhaps he did this because I didn’t return with his swimming truck last night
he’s doing this to punish me or something!
where in heavens name am I gonna start cleaning up this mess?
I picked up the empty bottles and suddenly st©pped on hearing sobbing sounds coming out from the bathroom
okay, what’s going on?
sir Xavier doesn’t let any one into his room except his mum and I
so who the hell is sobbing right there in the bathroom???
Episode 22
Elsa
what the hell is wrong with me?
I st©pped on my tracks
what would I be doing there, even if he’s sobbing
like how’s that my business?
isn’t he gonna flare up on seeing me there?
what am I even gonna say to him when I get there?
I placed my ears on the door knob, trying to eavesdrop on whosoever is locked up there
but I couldn’t even hear anything
geez!
I thought someone was sobbing in there a while ago or perhaps am beginning to hallucinate or something
I think I had better concentrate on my job before someone comes in here and mistake me for a spy or something
I walked towards the laundry basket in the edge of the room
I think am gonna start from there
I picked up the pile of dirty clothes, duvet and empty bottles of drinks
geez!
they were damn much!!
can’t believed Sir Xavier is a drink add!çt
geez!
over seven bottles of wines were littered on the floor
why would he drank so much?
I got a hold of the duvet, pu-lling it off the be-d and replacing it with a neat one
after dressing the be-d properly, I got a hold of the waste bin SBD shove the empty bottles de-ep into it
suddenly I began hearing the sound of running water
what!
seems someone was actually in the bathroom in the first place
that means someone had actually sobbe-d in there
I got a hold if the waste bin
I nee-d to go dispose it off in the trash can
with the clothes stuck in my right, placed them inside the laundry basket before the occu-p@n-t in the bathroom will come out and meet me here
who knows it might be his girlfriend, though I haven’t seen him with a lady other than I, Sharon and his mum
maybe he aren’t into ladies
I walk down the stairs and dumped the waste bin inside the trash can before heading towards the laundry room to get sir Xavier’s clothes properly washed

Xavier
I tied a towel on my w@!st and dried my face with a face towel
I got out of the bathroom into my room and wasn’t surprise to see my room in a good state
thank heavens she was s-en-sible to put my room in order
perhaps ma-king her my personal maid isn’t bad though, it’s kinda worth it
I sat down on my dressing table staring at my reflection
six years ago I was happy and fulfilled!
not until I lost the one thing that matters to me
Audrey!
she was the best thing that ever happened to me
Audrey, she was my first
my first love
my first crush
she wasfu-cking my first everything and she had left me
she left me and hadfu-cking got involved in a plane crash
it was all my fault
if it wasn’t for me she won’t have left for Paris
she won’t have died
she could have been with me by now
tauting me about my bulging eyes but there’s no one to do that
no one to remind me of how S-xy and annoying I looked
no one to hit me on the shoulders repeatedly till my skin turned red
no one to make me jump excitedly on my be-d
I missed her
she was mum’s best friends daughter
she bec@m£ my closet friend
the sister I had never had and she bec@m£ my lover
the pretty face silly girl who stole my heart and ran into space
I felt a tear slide down my cheek
I shouldn’t be crying but I just can’t help it
it hurts!
it hurts every pas-sing seconds, minutes and hour of the day
for six lonely years, she had been in my heart
memories of her were buried in my heart
I just can’t get over it!
not after all we’ve been throu-gh together!
not after everything and now I had to lost her
and am i always gonna be the loser?
huh?
was I created to cry and anguish?
why’s my life pathetic?
I snivelled real ha-rd
allowing the tears to fall off like never before!
my heart ache badly
why would I be so unfortunate?
why?
I placed the face towel back on my face and began dabing the tears off my face
is life ever gonna be good
am I gonna smile out someday?
only heavens knows what’s install for me!
i never wished to end up living my life like this!
in sorrows
pains and regrets
Audrey’s death has caused me a lot
it had weakened my future and given me an everlasting scar
an injury that will never heal up even for a life time
my mum!
I love her so much!
if only she has the faintest idea of what am going throu-gh
if only mum can see throu-gh my heart
I sob silently and my life is gradually fading away with every ticking move the clocks makes
just like the dust am gonna be b!own away someday
just like Audrey am gonna be fine and forgotten
I got hold of my b©dy lotion and ru-bbe-d it off, all over my b©dy
I sli-pped my weary and tired b©dy into my clothes
a red short and a white t©p
I got a hold of my eye piece and plug it over my ears
that’s the only thing I nee-d now
it’s enough sooth my nerves but it just can’t heal my broken heart
it can’t feel the space in my heart
it can’t erase the painful memories off my head
am scared cause am fading away
I am dying in silence
cause I just can’t open up to anyone
I nee-d help
am badly in nee-d of it
it will take only a genius, someone special to see throu-gh my eyes
to see throu-gh the pains in my eyes
to see throu-gh my aching heart
am slowly fading away
I got off my dressing table, got a hold of my drawing board and began doing what can ease up my aching heart while the blaring song from my ear piece ease up my heart

Elsa
I opened the door after constant knocking on it with a tray of food
sir Xavier’s mum had instructed Me to bring his breakfast up here to his room
I got in and his back view met my gaze
he had an ear piece over his ears
that must be the reason he hadn’t opened up when I had knocked on his room door
I placed the tray on a stool and he still hasn’t noticed my pres£nce
he looked engrossed in what he was bent over
probably writing or something
I looked over his shoulders and my eyes fell on the beautiful bridge he was painting
geez!
so he draws?
suddenly I flin-ched
a bridge!
why’s he painting the drawing of a bridge??
