Roses and Thorns – Episode 27

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

The stalker opened his mouth in shock as Udoka exchanged pleasantries with the soldier man and his company. He wondered what connection they had, he calmed down and waited for the soldier to drive off before stepping down from his car, he covered his head with his hoodie and bent down sticking his head into the car through the window picking up the big sun shade. He walked towards the building after wearing the sun shade, getting to the reception, he stopped and flashed the receptionist a smile and she gawked, he smirked, he knew he was gorgeous and so does everyone.

“Good afternoon sir, how may i help you?” the receptionist asked.

“I don’t know how to say this but my friend is in this hospital, i saw him few minutes ago but he didn’t hear me when i called out to him and i don’t know the exact ward he is admitted in” the stalker replied with the smile still plastered on his face.

“Okay sir, what is your friend’s name?” she asked opening the long note book.

“His name is Udoka” he replied.

“Am sorry sir but i will also need his surname for easy access” she said blinking her eye lashes.

“Just search around for Udoka, i saw him few minutes ago” he said trying to peep into the book.

“No sir, his surname is needed, you can call him on phone” she replied closing the book.

“Okay then” the stalker said with a shrug and left the building, he walked towards his car lost in thought. leaning on his car, he let out a full breath removing the sun shade. He shook his and walked to the other side of the car, opened the door and entered, concluding to forget Udoka and whatever bruhaha that surrounded him and focus more on his victim and his father’s documents, he turned on the ignition and drove slowly towards the end of the car park and then he reversed driving towards the gate, he looked at the rear view mirror, the reflections of His father and Udoka were visible. He halted the car and drove back a little, the old man was seated on a wheelchair while the young man moved him around. The stalker covered his mouth in shock while still leaving his gaze on the mirror, he took his phone and dialed a number with shaking hands, the recipient answered on the fourth ring and with a broken voice, the stalker spoke.

“My father is not dead, the old man escaped death” he fumed.

“But how come?” sounded from the other end.

“I don’t know, i think Udoka took him to a hospital at the outskirt of Asaba” the stalker replied gritting his teeth.

“Hold on a bit, which Udoka?”

“My father’s employee, the head of the marketing department” the stalker replied hitting the steering “Damnit, i wasn’t smart after all” he raged.

“Then you have to finish the old man and this time around? make sure you make no mistakes, remember he never treated you like a son and if he lives, then no inheritance for you, Make sure you ki*ll him as soon as possible” the person chided.

“I know, Ambler, i won’t spare him this time around, i will make sure he dies” he growled ending the call.
