KAANTE

Chapter one

Kaante heard foreign voices downstairs, she hurriedly left her bed and walked to the door, she turned back to get her nightgown after dress because her inner nightgown was very short and revealing, she quickly opened the door and shut it with a loud bam!! On her way downstairs she heard this loud husky voice,

"I thought you said there is no other person in the house...uhnnn!!....answer me" he yelled.

He must have heard the sound of the door upstairs and became inquisitive of who or what just happened.

Kaante on the other hand heard the loud noise of broken glasses just as she entered the living room which was extremely dark because the chandelier has been broken, she could picture that so easily because of space it has occupied, Kaante being in the right spot of the scene heard the husky voice even louder and clearer as she moved her gaze from the ceiling to the middle of the living room where the noise was coming from. The familiar voice from the previous harsh words came up again.

"I hate it when people lie to me!!... Who the hell do you think you are dealing with?...uhnnn...answer me!!!"

this time the voice sounds angrier as he roared and stabbed severally, Kaante could hear trembling voices of her father and mother yearning for help in the dark as she could only see the eyeballs of her parents as they lay still and lifeless on the cold ceramic tiles floor as she was also trembling with her barefoot on the tiles, the killer's heavy breath makes her breathe uncontrollable too, some other persons are also there, though she has no estimate of the numbers of people and cannot visualize who they are nor how they look, Kaante screamed subconsciously and tried running back upstairs, but heard a loud roar right behind her, that followed her immediately and could conclude already that he was the one who killed her parents since the rest of them seems to be against it as they find their way out saying

"Hey Bruh this is not what we are here for...hey come on bruh... Hey you need to be able to control your anger"

She listened as their voices fades away, but he followed her still not listening to them and dragged her down the stairs as she protested and kicked his stomach with her thin legs which made him more angry and slitted a knife on her chest as he gripped her firmly, he tore the laze edge of her panties and the sound made them both still, the room was dark and seems empty as they could only listen to their heavy breathe, she could also perceive his strong masculine perfume, this to her was unlike a killer but that doesn't count for his atrocities as a f*****g killer and a r****t , she could feel the grinning of his teeth as he thrust into her so hard that she gasp for breath, he cupped her face so firmly that she could hardly breath and held her neck with his other hand firmly like he was about taking the life out of her, his breath was so heavy that it was the only noise in the room as he roughly pulled her night gown after wear and tossed it aside, he tore the inner satin night wear, exposing her chest,

Kaante shivered and made a low helpless voice that could probably be heard just by her

"Please!!"

She whimpered but was still, her eyes were closed with tears rolling down her cheeks.

He placed his palm on her mouth shutting her silent whispers moving his palm down to her chest and made some grungy sound, he lowered his pace and whine slowly against her thin waist, squeezing her boobs harshly. He marvelled at the fullness of the boobs and opened his eyes as if to see its owner.

Kaante said something again that she could sense the pain in her voice and her dry throat, her lips were also dry that she could hardly path them to make sounds.

"Please...pleeesee" she said again, this time

Sounding like she was about to pass out.

As her worst nightmare hunted again, Kaante was gripping and squeezing her bed sheet as it was so damp and squeezed, she tossed her head around like an amateur swimmer trying to survive the stream and suddenly woke up abruptly with a loud tone saying

"Pleasssse"

she sat down still on the bed trying to regain her strength and breath, wondering if anyone could hear her screaming and took a deep heavy breath just after regaining consciousness, she cleaned some traces of tears from her eyes grasped a mini cup of drug and swallowed some pills and walked down from the bed to the washroom, she washed her face and looked into the mirror and what she saw was a pale and shrunk face, she looked down her chest and placed her wet, cold fingers on a dip scar, tracing its lines. she jumped to the sound of the sudden ring of alarm and hissed, walking out of the bathroom and walked down to the kitchen to fix a bowl of cereals and fed on it as her life depended on it, she ate half and tossed the bowl into the sink and walked back to the room to get her phone and permanently off the alarm as her constant dreadful nightmare offer her free service of waking her up before the alarm comes up

"it useless anyway" she muttered.

she walked into the bathroom and quickly rushed her bath as she walked out of the bathroom, she plugged her hairdryer and dried her hair and creamed her body. her skin was already dried from the long stay after bath, she looked at her phone again, It was already 7 am and suddenly heard a knock at the door "I'm coming b***h" she giggled.

she hurried to the door and swung it open with a smile on her face.

"Hey Candy don't bring down my door"

Bimbola beamed a smile, she looks stunning in white blazers and white palazzo with a red wrap round veil, she looked around the house like she was visiting for the first time, though spending most of her days here? The apartment still looks foreign like she was seeing it for the first time, the furniture is so sophisticated and explicit, the colour combination of white and black make the living room so cool, the apartment is a four-bedroom duplex

With its kitchen and dining downstairs together with the living room and guest toilet, the view of the outside from the kitchen is marvellous with a soft undiluted air right from the beech though mile away but seem so close, the four-room upstairs is painted with different colours preferably to it owners.

"good morning ma'am"

Bimbola has this smiley face that could hardly detect anger as her smile is so bright and complemented with a perforated dimple.

"Hey morning Bimbs...come in"

"you did not bother to ask who was at the door".

"I'm sure not expecting anyone this early except you".

She turned and looked at her,

"you are looking good, why the serious dressing though"

"I'm dressed for the big day ma'am"

"what big day"?

Kaante asked looking foolish

Bimbola opened her eyes wide and was mouth gaping,

"you will be launching your book of two years today"

"oh mine I couldn't even remember that much important occasion"

She grinned her lips and moved them to one side of the lips, leaving her eyes wide opened

"oh, so what on earth am I wearing?"

"don't worry, that why I'm here ma'am"

she smiled, Bimbs like Kaante always call her is Kaante's Personal Assistance and somehow have become part of Kaante's life, she seems to be the only family Kaante never had, Kaante stood behind smiling and admiring her energy, she was lost while Bimbs scrutinize through her wardrobe searching for the perfect dress.

" Here they are ma'am"

" Ok thanks candy"

Kaante got dressed immediately, trying to cup her breast with a bra before wearing her shirt, Kaante stood in front of the mirror and couldn't help but to admire her boobs as it was lovely how the bra suit the breast so well she smiled and traced the edge of the bra lace and her fingers couldn't avoid the scar on her chest, then Kaante wore a long face and cut Bimbs of her rambling

"What is my schedule for today?"

Bimbo looked up at her and merged her lips, she seems to be used to her boss constant mood swing and how she gets tough with work.

" You have an interview by 9 am on Brighter morning TV"

she flipped to the next page and looked up again.

"Ok you also have a meeting with the board by 12" and lunch afterwards by 1 am with pastor Termerh"

Bimbs stopped for a while and slowly said with a low tone,

" You will be having coffee with Dr Mic...

"What?...what Doctor Mic?" Kaante became inquisitive

"Dr Mic is a very good psychiatrist and very friendly, have met with him already and he is willing to see you"

Bimbo said slowly and selecting the right words to use.

" Really? Bimbo"

"Are you saying I'm crazy now?"

"No...of course not" she stammered "I just want you to be fine and apart from being my boss you mean a lot to me"

she quickly held her hand as if that will aid better understanding.

Kaante slowly removed her hand and turned to apply lipstick.

" You know what Bimbs?... I don't need any f*****g guy to treat me because you or anyone think he is good...that's good for him okay... Cancel that appointment immediately" she snapped.

Bimbo slowly walked to Kaante.

"Is this about you not wanting treatment or is it because he is male?"

Kaante dropped her lipstick subconsciously and blinked her eyes severally.

" What? No, of course not...why would you even say that...you know what? ...drop this topic, like right now...what else am I having today?

Bimbo had a heavy breathe like she was trying to release the heavy stress on her chest and smiled though you could find some sense of frustration in between those smiles.

"Next is your launching and dinner party at 7 pm" she sighed.

Kaante looked at her.

" I know candy, you are trying to help me but I'm perfectly okay...I don't need to see any psychiatrist...I'm just having a hard time and I will get through it"

Bimbo became more interested.

" I can get you a female psychiatrist if you want" she put her hands on her waist, hoping to get a favourable response.

"No Bimbs... you don't have to and we are done with this conversation"

Kaante swung her hair and walked out, she walked so fast and smartly with her heels saying so many things at a time with her finger in the air as Bimbo followed, practically jumping after her.

" Gosh!! She's so good with those heels" she said to herself

" Bimbs it going to be a long day" she screamed in the air and sighed

basically the only thing Bimbo could properly hear.

"Absolutely!!"

Bimbo replied.

They got into the car and drove off.
