MEANT FOR ME

Chapter 4. The r**e!

His firm hands pushed her forcefully to the small bed, she knew she had agreed not to scream when she saw the knife in his hands but now she was breaking the promise. She screamed for help after she had managed to fight his hands off her mouth.

“f**k you b***h!” he said, tearing off her light dress and pinning her to the bed as he slapped her small breast. “b***h!” he shouted again. Olivia cried helplessly, begging him not to but her words fell at the entrances of his ears. He struggled to get a hold of her underwear and tore it off. His d**k was hard as a rock,

“I have waited patiently for this day. It’s what I have worked so hard for!” He subconsciously whispered in her ears as he thrust his big d**k into her p**sy.

“Feel it you betrayer!” He whispered again like a loose drunkard.

“No... I beg of you.” cried Olivia as he hit harder on her p**sy like it were a battle; he soon accompanied his aggression with several slaps on her laps as he liked and moved faster because he became harder. Jessica’s weak hands only tried to push him off while her lips pleaded for help, he banged her severally before his bass voice raised,

“Uhh… uhh!” feeling relieved and hurried to pull up his fallen trousers. “You’re damn hot!” He said to the figure that lay almost lifeless on the bed, her tears rushed more and her voice became louder with the last bit of strength left in her she cried dragging herself onto the ground, calling out for help. “No, no, no! Help me,” now her voice became smaller and less audible. She had cried out a red face and managed to go near the beach to wash herself from the blood stains on her skirt; she remained in the water feeling dumb, sad, and in unexplainable pain. Life was becoming unfair to her, hot tears did not stop rushing down her eyes even though she didn't speak, heaviness lay in her heart.

Johnson arrived in a few minutes but did not see Loveth in the beach house, everywhere looked so tidy. Maybe she did some cleanup.

“My love I am back! I got a lot of foods and drinks that would serve us for some more days. And guess what? I also got you a beautiful dress because very soon we will be out of here” he yelled spreading his arms and feeling excited but still, there was no response. This made him to notice the lightness and emptiness that filled the house. Where could she be? He quickly remembered the beach and went to see if she was there but there was no one on the beach. Where could she be?

“My love?” he called as if expecting her to run out of a corner all in the name of some hide-and-seek games they usually play, but this was beginning to get more serious than he thought.

“Olivia!” he called out again. She now heard his voice now began to cry because she had gone farther than she could imagine and have no intention of coming back. She cried the hell out of her eyes.

“Olivia!” his voice again. This shattered her heart and those tears became uncontrollable.

“I'm sorry,” her crying voice whispered into the gentle breeze. Tears and postnasal drips poured down her face; she could not help weeping heavily. When Johnson had confirmed that the house was totally empty and Olivia wasn't there, he left the food and drinks he bought and ran out like a mad dog.

“Please do not leave me all alone!” he cried badly. “I left all just to be with you!...” he would cry at short intervals after looking for her! “Please tell me where I have wronged you, I will apologize; I will make it up to you I promise... Don’t go away, I know you have been through a lot of shits but believe me, I already figured out a better plan,” he said and paused. “A better place for us my love.” he continued, spreading his tired arms like a child.

Maminita would not allow Mr. James and his family to have some rest, she goes there morning and night pleading that her daughter be brought back to her. Sometimes they let her know that they endured all of her embarrassments only because she was an old woman and that if she wouldn’t stop they will have her thrown into the prison. She would always tell them to take her there and bring back her daughter.

“Please, she is all i have got!” her weak old voice always says.

“Honey, i have asked the police to let go the case.” Mr. James said trying to call the attention of his wife who was busy picking some oranges from the big fridge in the kitchen

“What case?” She asked heading for the living room where her husband was.

“I’m talking about that old woman’s daughter.” he said trying to reach out for an orange

“So are you withdrawing the case?” she asked arcing one brow. “What if our daughter hears this what would she think of you!”

“Whatever she likes. I thought of the whole thing last night and I decided to let go! We shouldn’t be so heartless. I believe if we withdrew the case that old woman’s daughter will come home to her mother,” he tried to convince his wife.

“Well, if you say so, but what happens to the contract you have with the Huffmans?”

“That shouldn’t bother you. Just leave everything to me. I only need you to talk your daughter into seeing reasons why the case should be withdrawn. Let her know that the contract still stands.” Loveth’s mother saw reasons with her husband but suggest that the news shouldn’t get to their daughter’s ears.

Roaming around the desert-like place had not helped, he hoped she had not been kidnapped. How would he reach out to her? she left with her mobile phone totally shut down. She wouldn’t be kidnapped alongside her mobile phone, he thought. Returning to his father’s house was an option he sighted his car keys and left immediately. After all, he picked up his car keys and left the place, hoping to come back to pick up his car.

“They may think i have killed her or something! What on earth would I tell her grandmother?” one hot tear ran down his face and rested on one hand. He had finally decided to look for her and if he doesn’t finds her he would return home.

From a short distance, he saw a figure standing and appearing just like Olivia, maybe his eyes deceived him or it was the weather.

“Olivia!” he called, she did not make an attempt to see who called her name, but by the time he moved a little closer, he saw a blood stain on her skirt. “ what is that stain, my love? Are you okay?” the figure remained still. He soon came closer to be sure of what he saw and in a flash, she almost had his face scraped off with her long bent fingernails but he was smart enough to dodge it, while he escaped that he noticed a bleeding eye.

“Holyshit!” he said and Within a second, she grabbed him by his neck trying to strangle him. “Ha...!” he screamed into his consciousness. “Oh goodness!” his panting voice said as he touched his neck several times to be sure it was in a good condition. “That was just a dream,” he sighed heavily. “I have to leave now,” he spoke to himself after realizing he had slept for a stretch of 2 hours.

He soon got home looking like someone who had just returned from a long stay in the police cell. His bears had grown fuller than normal and his oval face was like a sketch of skeletal figure. If not for Johnson being his son, Mr. Huffman would not have recognized him him, His father was short of words as he starred fury at him like the a stubborn prodigal son. After staring at each other his father forced out a fat sigh as Johnson left for his room.

Olivia soon got to a place full of rocks both small and big rocks, there was a narrow stream flowing from a distance of no beginning to a distance of no end. She sat down there to catch some rest when she heard the chirping of some tiny looking birds that play in the empty sky above her head;

“hey ma’am!” a fading male voice called from a distance, her eyes tried to figure out what blurry figure it was but she couldn't until he came closer.

“It’s dangerous for you here.”

“I know man,” her tired voice said. “I just want to have some rest, I will take my leave in a while.”

“That is not my problem. Make sure night doesn't fall while you are still here; if it does, you will be a dead meat before dawn!” fear gripped her. “Humans are the food here girl!” he said putting his mouth very close to her ear as he whispered. Olivia wanted to turn over when a small sharp rock that stuck in the ground woke her up with a sharp pain in the side of her tummy.

The sun was setting and night fell without patient, sleeping out there wasn’t an option for her, finding a better place to spend the night would be best, she soon bursted into tears when she rememebered her granny and how she left Johnson with no trace of her whereabouts.

“I do not even know my way home! Soon I will be turning into an animal in this deserted place! How do I survive? I am such a coward!” she said crying bitterly. “What if granny’s health went worse? What if she died?” her tears became fatter as they dropped. Her heart told her that she had hurt her granny so badly and this made her cry even more.

A few days later Mr. Huffman called his friend and business partner James to tell him about the arrival of his son and his plans of visiting his house in the New York for a short vacation just like he had told him so that he would ask no further questions.

“Thanks for the information.” Mr. James said hanging up.

Loveth who has been in Paris for a one week business trip soon return to hear the news.

“Mum.”

“Yes sweetie.”

“When did Dad say Johnson would be leaving?”

“Tomorrow!” she replied sharply still focused on her mobile phone.

“Nice! Well, I got some nice dresses from Paris while coming. They really look nice on me mum. I think i’ll put one on.”

“You know clothes always look nice on you because you are a professional fashion model,” her mother flattered. “So you have nothing to worry about sweetie. Remember mummy always got your back!” She said smiling at her.

“Thanks mum. I love you,”

“I love you too!”

“But how about that girl?” asked Loveth. Her mother replied with an arched brow looking totally lost,

“I am talking about the daughter of that widow,” she said spoiling her face with a terrible frown.

“Oh that thing! She has been trashed into the police custody. I already assured you that the case was under control,” she explained confidently looking at the brightness that covered her daughter's face.

Johnson's flight had taken off the following morning, as he leaned back on the seat he remembered all that played out in the beach house, the good memories brightened his spirit. Johnson will not accept the fact that she was gone. Maybe when his driver went to pick up the car he left behind at the beach house, he would ask him to look for her. No, that was a stupid thought. It was his mess and he needed to fix it himself, he kept on battling with several thoughts in his mind. Well, a time away from his worries would go a long way in helping him get back to his mental sanity.
