vengeance in her shadow

Victor and Tracy

Chapter five

Iriana’s pov

I just smiled when Jaycee talked about me having a mission.

Well…I really had a mission but not one that I could tell them.

I looked around the hall, at the different new faces chatting excitedly. I was excited, not because I was going to study in one of the best universities, but because I could finally score the first step. Only the thought of it tickled at my heart. I beamed again.

The hall went quiet immediately a man walked in . I looked at him from where I was seated, trying to concentrate on his features and expression. I knew who he was… well, I got a lot of reports from Sofia about him so, I literally knew almost everything about him.

He introduced himself as Dr Viktor who would be lecturing us on Anatomy.

“I was told this is a general class, I hope we get along," he said smiling.

“Yes sir” the class echoed back.

Some girls at the front seat were whispering in excitement. Their whispering was just loud enough for me to hear.

‘Oh my God, he's so cute,’ I heard one of them say.

‘I heard he's the youngest lecturer here and a volunteer at that, ’ another of the girls whispered.

‘Yes, I heard so too. That he is a director at Blessed hospital, who volunteers every year to teach year one students here’, the third girl said.

‘ oh such a sweet soul, I'll make sure to visit his hospital’, the first girl said smiling sheepishly

‘Isn't he so cute?’,Jaycee said, talking to no one in particular. I smiled.

He started the class and threw different funny questions and many students were eager to give answers to the questions.

I knew the answers but I answered none. I had my plans.

Forty minutes later, and he was rounding up. I told my friends I needed to use the restroom and went out to the back door at the end of the hall. Once outside, I waited patiently in the hallway. Less than three minutes later, I saw him come out of the class. I slipped to the corner that led to the stairs. It was totally impossible for anyone coming from his direction to see whoever was coming from the stairs and vice versa. I listened for his steps, and Immediately I saw his reflection. I pretended I was coming from the stairs and intentionally bumped into him. His phone fell. He was busy on his phone so it took him off guard and his phone and the books he was holding fell from his hands to the ground.

I looked at him with feign shock and Immediately bent down and picked his books and phones and gave them back to him.

‘ I'm very sorry sir’,, I apologized in my most remorse tone

‘It's ok’ he said and looked at his phone.

‘The phone isn't broken and I'm sorry too’,he said smiling and staring at me.

I smiled back as sweetly as I could trying to hold the stare a little longer. I wanted my face to be registered in his head because we will surely meet more often.

I stepped aside to give him room to go. After watching him descend the stairs, I made for the hall to join my friends. The first encounter was memorable enough. Just as I had planned. I smiled in satisfaction.

Viktor's pov.

As I walked past her and made for the stairs I still felt her eyes on me, but I didn’t turn. There was something about her eyes and smiles. The eyes …I couldn't place it but the smile was fake. I could tell. She seemed to have put in such effort to look innocent which made it even more obvious that she was faking it.

Well, it wasn't the first time I'd experience students trying to get my attention like that.

I waved it off.

I made for my car in the parking lot and drove out of the college. I had an operation to perform in about an hour.

I got to the hospital in less than an hour .

I had hardly settled in my office when the door swung open—Tracy.

I shook my head slowly feigning a frustrated look.

‘ You'll never learn to knock on that door,will you?’ I asked her without raising my head from the files I was flipping through.

‘Opps, my bad’ she Said with a low chuckle.

She sat on the edge of the table.

‘The surgery is in 30 minutes’ she said. I nodded without looking at her sti. My eyes were focused on the files.

‘My dad called’ she said again after a brief silence.

‘He called me too’ I replied

‘ What did he say?’ She adjusted herself on the table ‘He didn't request you to sack me again, did he?’

I smiled and closed the file, to focus more on her.

‘As usual’ I grinned

‘Eiiisssh, the poor old man,’ she smirked.

I laughed and stood up to take off my suit

‘Don’t you think you should show him some sympathy now’ I said calmly.

Tracy was an only daughter among three ‘useless sons’. Her father and the owner of Saved hospital badly wanted her to take over the hospital's management so he could peacefully retire.None of his sons went into medical field. All they did was spend the old man's money and cause trouble. Tracy was his only hope but she was more interested in working for me as a doctor.

The past two years, her father has been requesting me to sack her so she would go back to him but I knew Tracy too well. That wouldn't work on her. And besides, I'd prefer if she went to him willingly. I knew the reason she was working for me.

She stood up from the table and walked to me seductively, her buttons undone halfway, giving me a good view of her large bust. As she walked seductively towards me her bust bounced juicily.

She stopped right in front of me, giving no space between us. Then she grabbed my shirt roughly and pulled me, making me slightly bend to her height. We stared into each other's eyes for a while before she moved her lips slowly to my ears, her warm breath tickling my skin.

‘Will you accept to spend the rest of your life with me as your wife if I go back to father?’ She asked, whispering into my ear.

I smiled silently, then suddenly decided to return the favour.

I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her gently so she'd look at me. Then, slowly, I moved my lips to her neck and gave a low intentional gasp, releasing a warm breath onto her skin. Then even more slowly, I moved my lips to her ear and lightly brushed them against it.

She gasped and grabbed my shirt again.

“Tracy, are you obsessed wimme?” I whispered the question into her ear.

Then gently pushed her back and smiled.

‘V, I can't go to my father now. I only get to see and spend time with you cos I work here. I'll only go if you agree to be my husband ‘ she said , her voice was unsteady.

I didn't say anything. She looked like was going to speak again, but the telephone rang, cutting her off.

I looked at her briefly then walked to the table and answered the call.

‘Doc, the theater is ready’,said the nurse on the other end.

‘I'll be there in a minute’ I replied and dropped the phone

‘Tracy let's continue this talk later. For now, We have a life to save’ I said and made for the door.

she followed.
