Episode 17

By: Faith Lucky.

Bethel’s Pov:
I scoffed and moved back.

What is he talking about?

“Bethel?” He called.
But how is it possible?

“Are…Are you sure you got me a gold necklace?” I asked, perplexed.

“Yes – of course. Although, I had been contemplating on the perfect color, but I later went for gold. I’m pretty sure I’m not mistaken” he replied.

I blinked rapidly.

“But…when I opened the box, this was what I found. It was a silver color” I said.
My head was almost spinning from the entire thing.

“Hold on” he suddenly said.
“That day, Karen had also gotten a necklace – a silver necklace. And we were sitting in the same car. Its possible the necklace got switched or something. Maybe…it must’ve have been a mistake” he said and I gasped in surprise.

Oh my God! Ryan had gotten me a gold necklace. Does that mean he passed the test? He passed the three test!!!

“Bethel, are you alright?” He asked and held my hands.

If only he could understand.

This was incredible. It was unbelievable. Ryan passed the three test!

He made breakfast for me, repeated his cloth, and bought me a gold colored necklace – just like I asked for!

Everything was complete!

Oh my God!!

“Hey” he called again realizing I was lost.

“Are you worried about it? Don’t worry, I’ll get you more jewelries tomorrow”.

“No…its not that” I said and paused, my eye lids batting, helplessly.

He looked into my face, obviously waiting for an answer.

I sighed and took my lips into my mouth.

“Its nothing. Its fine” I replied, staring downwards.

He lifted his hands to my cheeks and cupped them.

“Come on, then. Let’s eat” he said and led me to the table.

He asked me to sit while he dished out the meal.

“Um…Ryan” I called as we settled to eat.
“What happened to Lady K?”

He shot me a stare and took his eyes back to his meal, not saying a word.

“Ryan’ I called – softly.

“She was behind it” he finally said and at first, I was confused.

“Be…Behind what?” I inquired.

“Everything that happened to you. She paid Mawthie to do it”.

Oh my God!

My cutleries dropped from my hands as conniption gripped me.

What?

It was Lady K???

“Hey, you don’t have to worry about it, okay? It’s fine now” he said as he touched my hand on the table.

But I still couldn’t get over it. Lady K planned everything? She wanted to have me beaten up and raped? But why? What have I done to her?
Is it because of Ryan?

“Bethel please” Ryan said again.

“Don’t ruin this evening for both of us”.

I flickered my eye lids and took in a deep breath, trying to absorb the whole thing.

“On sorry” I said with a smile and we started eating.

Lady K’s Pov:
I stared pathetically at the ceiling as the nurse fixed a drip on me.

I felt so bittered and pained.

Soon, she was done and she left, leaving Ava and Lia with me.

“Hey, how’re you feeling?” Ava asked as she touched my arm and I scoffed.

“What do you think?” I asked painfully and angrily.

“I’m so sorry, Karen”.

“I warned you about this” Lia said.
Yeah, I was expecting that.

“None of this would’ve happened if you had just listened to me”.

“Lia please, this isn’t the right time to nag…”

“Oh, please!” She cut Ava off.

“When will you ever learn to accept your mistake? I told you not to hurt Bethel that way. There’d have been other ways to go about it but no! You wouldn’t listen. You wanted to do it your own way and see where it’s landed you!”

“Will you just shut up??” Ava snapped.

“Don’t tell me to shut up. You don’t really think you’re free, do you? What happens when Ryan gets to know you were with her on this? He’s definitely going to come for you as well!”

“Stop it! Both of you!” I cut in, almost sounding tearful.

“This isn’t the right time to argue,please”.

“I’m not angry. I’m just trying to let you know the consequences of your mistake and how foolish you had been to ignore it when you had the chance!” She replied angrily.

Oh God!

“Seriously Karen, the news is all over the net. How’re you gonna explain it?”

I shook my head and stared upwards at the ceiling.

“No matter what, I can’t tell the police what really happened. I can’t tell them I was beaten up by Ryan because they might question him and it might result to the whole thing being leaked. People will see me as a criminal and my image will be tamed. I don’t want that to happen” I said blearily.

“So, you’re gonna lie to the media?” Ava asked.

“Of course, she has to. Do you know what its gonna mean if the police gets to interrogate Ryan? He might even use it as a means to take her to jail” Lia replied.

“Thank goodness his guards were the ones who brought you here. I’m pretty sure he must have asked them not to say a word about it”.

“Of course. Else, the news would’ve been all over the net that you were beaten up by him.

“I hope you’ve learnt your lesson, Karen”.

I gritted my teeth as a tear came rolling down.

I felt so much anger – so much pains.

How could Ryan humiliate me this way?

Bethel’s Pov:
I Came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and changing into a short and singlet.

I looked around the room but couldn’t find Ryan.

Then, I heard his voice from the balcony outside the room and decided to check up on him.

He was on a call.

I stood by the door and watched him as he spoke angrily on the phone.

”Don’t even ask me that. Your school is f**king ruined ” he faciled angrily.

“I’m so sorry, sir. We really had no idea about it” I could hear the caller’s voice from the other line.

It sounded like my principal.

“How could you have securities in school yet, a student was locked up and brutally treated?”

“I’m sorry sir. I promise to replace the securities first thing in the morning”.

“You know what? Your school is just too local. I’m taking my wife away from there”.

What?

“Please, it hasn’t come to that. We need Bethel. Please. I assure you, its never gonna happen again. It’s a promise”.

“Well, you better make sure of that because the next turn something as little as a fly touches her again, I’m gonna make sure I shut down that school while you all gonna be cooling your asses in jail”. He said and hung up.

Oh my God!

Geez! Ryan.

He breathed out heavily and fixed the phone into his trouser pocket before running his fingers into his hair.

I sighed and went to meet him.

“Hey” I called and he turned to look at me, looking surprised.

“Hi. You’re done?” He asked and I nodded and stood beside him, holding onto the rails.

“Was that my principal?” I asked, even if I was sure it was her.

“Yeah” he said under his breath.

“Ryan, you didn’t have to pour out your anger on her. She had nothing to do what happened”.

“Yeah, but she owns the damn school” he replied, a little angrily.

He ruffled his hair, trying to calm it down.

Gosh! This guy really needs to work on his temper.

“And Karen…did you really have to beat her that much?” I asked after a short pause.

“She’s lucky I didn’t ki*ll her” he replied and I laughed.

That was Crazy.

“Um…What about the boys? What did you do with them?” I asked.

“That shouldn’t be bother you. They’re my responsibilities” he said.

“Ryan please, don’t do anything nasty…”

“Really, Bethel?” He cut me off, calmly tho.

“Do you realize what I had to pass through when I opened that door in school and found you screaming on the floor, your clothes torn into pieces?

“Do you realize what I had to pass through when I saw my fellow guy hitting you like you were some machine? Do you realize what I had to pass through knowing you almost…”

“Ryan” I interpolated and held his cheeks.

He stopped talking and sighed.

“Its fine. I’m sorry, okay? Will you just stop being angry?” I said and he sighed again.

He was obviously trying to swallow down the anger.

“You know what? You’re just bad mouthed. But the truth is, your heart is as soft as a pillow. You can cry like a baby over the tiniest little thing” he said and I laughed and brought my hands down from his cheeks.

“That’s not true! I don’t cry like a baby.” I laughed.

“Really? Do you remember the night you were asking for my forgiveness? I was so shocked to the teeth when I saw you shedding tears in front of me – whining like a day old baby.

“And on valentine’s night, I’m pretty sure you cried when you thought I wouldn’t get you a gift”.

“That isn’t true, Ryan!” I laughed and hit him on the chest.

“Please, that’s enough – before you start crying again” he teased and I faked a frown.

“You’re so annoying, you know that?” I rolled my eyes and heard him chuckle.

Suddenly, he held me by the waist, making my head relax on his chest.
Oh!

“That reminds me, you still haven’t gotten me a gift yet” he said.

The touch of his hands wrapped around my waist made me develop goose bumps.

“A gift?” I repeated.

“Yeah – a valentine gift”.

I smiled.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you one soon enough” I replied.

“Why don’t you do it right away?” He asked and I furrowed my brows.

“Right Away? What do you mean?” I asked.

“Come on, Bethel. You should know. What gift could you possibly give to me right now?” He asked and I lifted my head from his chest to look at him.

His hands around my waist still made us joined together.

He gave me a cranky look and I chuckled.

Mmmm

“Alright then” I said and kissed him.

A short kiss on his lips – more like a peck.

“Is that it?” He rose his brows.

I laughed – nervously – and took in a deep breath.

I’m really not a good kisser.

I went for his lips again and tried to kiss him for long this time around.

His lips were so soft and tasted like raspberry.

I was scared I might eat them.

I felt his tongue touch mine and tried to unlock from the kiss, but surprisingly, he didn’t let me.

He held me firmly by the waist and took over the kiss.

I shut my eyes and enjoyed the ecstasy – the flavor.

It was tempestuous and filled with an usual fervor. It was something like I’ve never experienced – enamoured.

This was my first real kiss.

We finally unlocked from the kiss and my breathing was tensed, my eyes locked into his which seemed to have some twinkles in them.

I could hear the sound of my blood running through my veins.

“Ryan” I called, trying not to stutter.

He kept staring at me.

“I’m ready” I said almost with a quiver.

The twinkles in his eyes increased.

I could feel my lungs drying up – my heart beating like a party drum.

I’ve never been so nervous in my entire life.

He nodded slightly and lifted his hands to my hair.

He could obviously read the fear in my eyes.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be easy on you” he said in the mildest voice I’d ever heard him speak.

I didn’t say a word as I was too nervous to speak.

And he carried me up like a baby and took me into the room.
