CHAPTER 17&18
★ ★ ★ ★
Oliver was playing a fighting game on his phone when someone suddenly covered his eyes from behind.
“Guess who?” There was a childish chuckle.
Oliver sighed de-eply. He was quite angry that he had lost the game to his opponent cause of…GINA!!
“Can you let go of me now?” He muttered, un-der his breathe.
“Uhmmm…” Gina took her hand off, and sat opposite him.
“Oliver, It seems you’re now been ignoring me. Did I do anything wrong?” She muttered, sadly.
Oliver wasn’t even listening. His mind was elsewhere. His eyes were completely somewhere else.
He was staring at her ne-ck.
On her ne-ck laid, a ne-cklace, and on the center of it, stood a small stony diamond. It glittered peacefully.
“Damn…Its a Fu-cking real mined diamond” He muttered, softly.
“Oliver?? Oliver! Oliver, you there?!” Gina asked, aloud, which almost made him flinch. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
Oliver bulged his eyes wide and cleared his throat loudly.
“Pardon me. You were saying?” He asked.
“I’m talking about your recent behavior towards me. Do you even love me? You never call. You never text. And when I do, you ha-rdly reply”
Oliver laughed lowly. He just wanted to end things with her, but the stuff on her ne-ck. That iced mined diamond. Fu-ck!
“That…” He muttered, looking at it.
Gina blinked and traced his eyes. She tou-ched her ne-cklace gently.
“What’s with it? Isn’t it pretty? I actually wore it for you” She whispered.
Oliver sighed.
“Where did you get the diamond? Its looks very expensive and…it seems very rare too”
“Well, Its so rare and costly, that, only a few of the rich could get it” Gina smiled.
Oliver nodded.
“I can see that”
“Actually, my Dad gave me a piece of it. He has a lot but he’s so greedy. Aiish. He’s so selfish that he gave me this,,,only…Humph!” She grumbled.
“Well, that because he doesn’t have much of it, as you think. You should un-derstand. From my view, He must have just 1” Oliver slowly drank his coffee.
“No…He has 50 of this-
Oliver spat out some droplets of his coffee on his palm, and choked.
He was coughing now.
“Oh no. What to do” Gina ran to him, and tapped his back, gently.
He finally got himself, and Gina heaved in relief. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“Thank goodness” She said, sitting down.
“Wait…What…What did you say? Fif…Fif…Fifty!?”
“Sshhh…Yes, Its 50. Actually, This is a secret. I shouldn’t even be telling you, but I’m telling you cause I love and trust you”
Oliver smiled and held her palm which was on the table. Gina looked at this, and beamed.
“You know I do,,, really, really love you, right?” Oliver whispered, se-xily.
Gina nodded, viBr@ntly.
“Then,,, tell me more….baby” He continued, whispering.
MALCOLM’S MANSION***
Rhoda stared worriedly as Ariana took a big black bag into Malcolm’s place.
Malcolm requested Rhoda to take Ariana shopping, so as to get some clothes, and other necessities just for her.
“Do you actually think, this is safe and wise?” Rhoda asked Malcolm.
“Trust me. Staying with me will make her memories come back quicker. When she does recover her memories, She will be gone like she never existed” Malcolm smiled.
Rhoda sighed de-eply. She wished Malcolm could apprehend her thoughts.
She wished Malcolm un-derstood her true feelings. She didn’t like the fact Malcolm was inviting Ariana to stay.
“But,,, I don’t like it” She muttered.
“Why not?” He asked.
“He’s such a foól” She thought and looked away.
“Never mind…” She muttered, and left.
Malcolm watched her leave. A bit his cold expression appeared on his face.
“You just nee-d to trust me, Rhoda. When things gets settled, I’ll come back into your life so don’t think negatively” He muttered.
“Rhoda? Wait…” He called, and moved near her.
Rhoda looked at him, and bit her li-p.
“C’mon. Say it. Say you don’t wanna hurt me. Say you want her to leave…” She thought.
“Uh…Rhoda?” He called, again.
“Huh?” She answered.
“Can you keep this a secret, till I have the nerves to tell the others?” He asked.
Rhoda sighed lowly and disappointedly.
Forcing a smile, she nodded.
“Thanks” He smiled, and she left.
“Mister!!” Ariana giggled and ran to him.
“Is that really my room?? Its very hu-ge and so pretty” She gushed.
Malcolm for-ced a chuckle.
“Yeah. Do you like it?”
“Like it?? I love it!” Ariana laughed.
“Ah,,, By the way…Just call me Malcolm”
“Huh?”
“Its better than calling me, mister…don’t you think?”
Ariana folded her li-ps.
“Ya right”
Ariana turned to leave when Malcolm suddenly got a call. He took it and turned the other way round.
“Yea, Bob?” Malcolm asked. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“Big news, Boss…” Oliver said, with excitement in his voice.
“Great…” Malcolm smiled.
“Call the others and tell them to meet at my place by 8pm, tonight” He added.
“Aye…Aye Boss!”
THAT NIGHT**
MALCOLM’S MANSION, SECRET’S ROOM**
“What?! 50 Fu-cking real diamonds?? Large stones of diamonds for that matter?? Gosh!! How did Gina’s parents lay their hands on that. Its very rare and very Fu-cking expensive. Besides, If they paid for that, We would be suffering from bankruptcy for now. Damn, Its could cost the whole of a thousand hospital buildings!” Cindy exclaimed.
“Well,,, Gina told me something else” Oliver said.
Malcolm was sitting on the desk, close to the wall, while the gangs were on the sofas, in front of him.
“And what’s that?” He raised his head a little at them.
He was wearing a plain white top, over black shorts.
“The thing is that… Gina’s parents wanted to have an orphanage Br@nch, but there wasn’t much funds” Oliver said.
However, They got a lot of money to build and grow the orphanage from a rich family, living in London”
There was suddenly a thun-der strike.
“It seems its about to rain” Rhoda muttered.
“Then, we gotta hurry so, y’all can leave. But don’t worry, even if it falls, I’ll lend each of you, a big portable umbrella” Malcolm said.
Rhoda scoffed lowly, and looked away.
“Hmm…As I was saying, Gina’s parents thanked and gave re@$$uring promises to the family to get the orphanage and other nee-ds concerning it. But, unfortunately, The family got into an accident and they all died. Not a single soul survived…”
“Gosh. I did hear of their death. But according to them, The family died and hence, couldn’t provide the money nee-ded” Cindy said.
“It was lie. Gina’s parents took the money as theirs. As if that wasn’t enough, Gina’s Dad, Mr. Woods sent some men who traveled to London, and went throu-ghthis dead family’s house. They brou-ght in more money to Mr. Woods, and those diamonds”
“Oh my gosh!!” Cindy shook her head.
“But,,, I never knew Gina could be this open” Kev smi-rked.
“Why wouldn’t she?? She has fallen for Mr. Playboy charms” Rhoda raised a brow, and Oliver giggled.
“I guess your Fu-cking around paid off” Ken mocked.
“We nee-d to get those diamonds. Oliver, can you?” Malcolm kept his interlocked fingers, below his chin.
“Gina said the diamonds lies in a hidden, secretive and enclosed place-
“Hidden? Secretive? Enclosed? What’s the difference?,, Just a teeny one, isn’t it?” Cindy cut him off, with a scoff.
“Mind your business” Oliver glared at her. written by sommy pearl f.
“Anyways, The diamond is well hidden that no one can take it, no ha-rd, no matter how you try. Its hidden in a secret vault, in the laboratory where Mrs Woods, Gina’s mother works”
“What’s ha-rd there? We can just break carefully into the laboratory as usual and break into the vault” Ken said.
Oliver laughed.
“The vault can be broken of course, but there’s a consequence. Once, it get broken, The vault explodes at that moment and destroys the whole place. Thereby, killing the intruder”
“Ooppss…” Cindy shook her head.
“We can only get in, by getting the only finger print which can open it”
“Get the only finger print? Why not hack into the damn vault and let it open, obediently” Malcolm frowned, coldly.
“It can’t be hacked…cause it’s gonna explodes once it reads any hacking signal” Oliver replied.
“Sh!t,, Its gonna be quite ha-rd” Malcolm l-icked his lower li-p.
“…But, did Gina tell you, the person with the finger print?” He asked.
“That,,, she doesn’t know. She told me the finger print doesn’t belong to her parents. She said if she knew, she would have stolen to give me some”
“Stupid love” Cindy muttered, with scorn.
“That means, We nee-d to find whoever owns the fingerprint and to do that, we nee-d a plan” Kev said.
“But,,, must we really take those diamonds? Its not necessary” Rhoda said, softly.
“Don’t you know this is when the mafia jumps in? Your piece of advice was really unnecessary” Ken said.
Rhoda looked down.
“Rhoda? We nee-d those diamonds. We nee-d to sell them, get money and build the orphanage the dead family, wanted. However, A half share will be taken by us. All this will be done secretively. Gina’s parents will be only be surprised to see an empty vault, that’s all” Malcolm explained.
“Oh,, I un-derstand” Rhoda nodded.
“Everyone,, I have a plan” Malcolm suddenly uttered.
“Really?!!” They all shouted, in unison.
“Yeah. But,,, to do this…we nee-d someone who could be a…Spy”
“Spy?” Rhoda whispered to him.
There was another thun-der strike, a louder one.
“Mister?! Mister!!! Where are you??” They all heard a loud scream.
“Darn it” Malcolm murmured, seeing the confused faces, looking at him.
“Mister!!!!!” It was Ariana’s shrill cry.
Malcolm ran out of the secret, and the others followed, curiously.
They all went down to see Ariana looking around, in tears.
“Mister?” She sobbed, looking at him.
“Why are you here? You should be sleeping” He gr-unted, lowly.
“Where were you? I’ve been searching around for you. I’m…I’m scared” She mo-an ed.
“What? Ari…ana?” Cindy muttered. The others watched, shockingly, except for Rhoda of course.
The thun-der rumbled again, and before Malcolm knew it, Scared Ariana ran to him, jumped on his body, and ti-ghtly hu-gged him, with ti-ghtly closed eyes.
“Oh…my…Gosh” Cindy whispered, with bulging eyes.
