CELEBRITY PLAYBOY : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
BY NAOMI CINDY B
“Now!!!” He yelled, his voice reverberating through the walls.
Slowly, Miguel dipped his hand into his pocked, bringing out the keycard.
Kenzie literally snatched it from him, and without looking back, he went for the door, opened it and dashed out, into the rain.
Miguel punched the wall in anger, and his knuckles peeled as heavy hot breaths escaped his nostrils.
He bit his lip so hard that it began bleeding, and he paced around restlessly.

Kenzie jumped in the car outside, and hunder kept threatening to tear the sky down as he drove.
He drove past Maria under the tree, and when he saw the helpless woman crying pitifully in the rain, he tightened his hands on the wheel and zoomed roughly out of the estate.
He dialled Natty’s line on his dialler, but she wouldn’t pick, so he dialled Eminem,.
It’s same with him too, and that made him start wondering what’s actually really going on.
He tried to trace Hazel’s phone location on his phone, but the coordinates are coming slowly because of the rain.
He couldn’t even get a particular location, and that made him stop his car abruptly in the middle of the road, punching his wheel angrily.
He should have gone for her earlier, he shouldn’t have let his anger and rage overshadow everything.
He should have done the saving earlier.
What if Cole already had his way with her?
Gawd knows he’d kill Cole and every single family member he has, but even if he kills, would it change anything?
Cole would have done the deed already.
That single thought made his eyes turn red again, and his bones stiffened under his flesh, making his head fall in chaos.
Cole..
Cole … he’s gonna kill that bastard!
Think., Kenzie….think!
He got his phone again, restlessly tracking Eminem’s location instead.
The cemetery appeared on his screen, and he brought the car engines back to life, driving off crazily.

CEMETERY*
The race between Eminem, Natty and the three guys is still ongoing, and thanks to the fact that the cemetery is a wide property, there’s enough space to run around.
They ran without stop, but Natty and Eminem aren’t taking it easy with them too despite the heavy rain.
They’re jumping and flying every stunt with them.
Natty grabbed a dangling tree branch she came across and held on to it, taking her two legs off the ground before throwing them forward, hitting the head of the first guy brutally.
He fell forward, and his neck got stuck in a pointed stick on the ground.
Blood erupted, and Natty tilted her head, breathing hard as she landed beside him.
“Unlucky you” she said, looking ahead to see Eminem catching the second one already.
He threw him a punch in the gut, and he fell flat too on the wet ground.
The third one couldn’t go far before Natty got him too, bringing him to the ground with a smart kick.
“Are we done playing? Who are you guys? Did you come back to get the bag? Where’s Hazel?” She asked, squatting between the two bodies.
They kept groaning in pains without offering any answer, and she smirked.
“Get me the gun, Emi” she said, and Eminem threw her one
Immediately she caught it, the two guys sat on their arse in fear…
“We were only sent by the Laughlin family to sedate her and bring her to them. We forgot to take her bag which contains the evidence of attempted rape, so we were told to go come for it” the first one explained.
“Attempted rape? Meaning the rape didn’t happen?” Eminem asked quickly.
“Y-yes…she escaped after wounding their son…we did nothing wrong” the second one replied, and Natty inhaled in relief.
“Thank gawd”
“Where’s Hazel right now?” Eminem asked, and the two exchanged glances.
“Where’s Hazel?” Eminem repeated the question, and when they kept the silence up, Natty shot the first one on the shoulder.
His scream of agony and his gushing blood made the second one speak up immediately…
“Smallest building in the slums, five minutes drive from here”
Eminem took their phones and smashed them, then Natty tied them up back to back on the ground.
They left the cemetery, but a minute after, Kenzie arrived.
Merely seeing the tied scapegoats, he knew Eminem and Natty are behind it.
“Where did they go?” He questioned with the calm he borrowed.
“The slums, smallest building.” The bleeding one replied in tears, and Kenzie ran out of the place immediately.
He’s not sure who, but he’d kill again tonight, be it Cole or anyone else at all.
If he touched a thread of her hair or even breathed near her, he’d make him stop breathing and snatch his life away from him.
Completely.
The rain was still pouring as he got back in his car and left the cemetery too.

SLUMS*
Natty and Eminem were panting as they came out of the car, back into the rain.
There are about twenty buildings in the area, built side by side, and they’re all of medium sizes, but only one of it looks smaller than the others.
Sensing that it’s what they’re looking for, they ran towards it and Eminem pushed the door open with his boot, but they met emptiness.
Neither Hazel nor the Laughlin couples are there.
“Did the boys lie to us?” Natty said breathlessly.
“I don’t think so, they must have sensed some foul play when the boys took too long to come back. I’m sure they haven’t moved far, let’s move” Eminem replied, and they ran out of the building again.
There are floods all-over the place, several erosive cracks and potholes, it’s all a mess, but they maneuvered through everything till they’re almost at the end of the slum, then they sighted them.
The Laughlin couple.
They’re dragging Hazel with a chain towards a waiting car beside a forest, and there are five guys around them for protection.
Hazel’s cries could be heard even despite the distance between them.
She’s cursing them and yelling at the same time.
“Those mad peeps!” Natty seethed in anger and was about to jump to the other side with Eminem when someone jumped over from behind, faster than them.
He landed on the other side, and they look shocked when they saw his face.
Kenzie!
When did he even get here?
He was holding his gun tight, nose flaring as he ran towards the criminals in a fit of rage.
Eminem and Natty exchanged glances and smiled.
“I knew he’d come” Natty said.
“Didn’t really expect it, but it’s all good” Eminem shrugged.
They didn’t even bother to jump. They stayed where they are and watched the show from there.
Kenzie hit the barell of his gun on the head of the first guy he met, and he went flat into the flood, making the couples stop with the remaining four guys.
Immediately they turned, Kenzie jammed the gun barrel into the eye of another guy, and blood ran down that eye like tears as he went down into the flood too.
“Kenzie Torrance?” Mr. Laughlin recognized him immediately.
“Might have to change my name cos of y’all motherfûckers” Kenzie replied gravelly, shooting down the remaining three guys.
It’s a silent gun, so it’s soundless.
Their blood mixed with the flood beautifully as they fell in too, and they got carried away.
The couple stood gummed together beside the car as Kenzie started walking to them with completely dark eyes, like a wounded lion’s.
“We weren’t planning to kill her, the plan was to compel her to keep quiet by offering her billions. Cole didn’t do anything, she was the one who hurt him and he’s currently fighting for his life!” Mr. Laughlin quickly said, and Kenzie smirked ominously.
“Fighting for his life? I’ll find him and take that life from him, then he’d meet you both in hell” he replied, and their eyes widened at once.
Before they could say another word, he already shared bullets to their foreheads, and they fell on each other on the ground, forming a large heap in the flood.
Kenzie’s arm went back down, and his breaths came out ragged as he watched the flood carry them away too.
He shifted his gaze to the car and opened it to find Hazel inside.
She has actually been pushed in before he got to them earlier.
She was looking so helpless and shaking with cold, and with the look in her pale eyes, he knew her lenses melted already and she’s currently not seeing anything.
Gently, he carried her out of the car, and merely inhaling his scent made her know who it is, but she dared not talk.
She hung her arms on his neck, feeling so embarrassed and guilty and tongue -tied as he began taking her out of the slum.
She’s not even wearing anything on her feet. Her slipons fell off when she was kidnapped, so she’s barefoot, and her underfoot is so damn red like a baby’s right now as a result of the cold.
She stayed silent till Kenzie got back to the road and placed her in the car despite her wetness.
“How did you find us?” Natty asked.
“By chance” Kenzie replied coolly, and Eminem patted him.
Kenzie replied with a nod.
Eminem drove off in the second car, but Natty stayed with Hazel in Kenzie’s car while Kenzie drove them.
The rain was starting to stop, and he even made a detour at a clothing store where Natty helped Hazel change into dry heavy clothes.
She got her new lenses too, original expensive ones this time___with Kenzie’s Amex debit card.
Immediately Hazel’s sight came back, she couldn’t even look Kenzie in the eye, though he’s not looking at her either.
She kept her head down, and Natty kept stroking her hair till they arrived at the estate.
Kenzie left the car immediately, going into the second mansion without looking back.
Hazel bit her tongue hard as she came out with Natty, and Maria rushed out of the annex.
“Hazel!!” She gasped, engulfing her in a tight@ss hug immediately.
She began shedding tears of joy.
“Why did you scare me so much? You’re the only one I have yunno?”
“I’m so sorry mum, it won’t happen again” Hazel sobbed.
“What exactly happened, huh?” Maria broke the hug to hold her face.
“I was almost raped” she sniffled, and Maria gasped.
“No…no it’s…how?” She said shockingly.
“Cole is a serial rapist. It’s our fault for not telling her on time” Natty said.
“No it’s mine. I should have allowed Kenzie to talk at the cemetery” Hazel shook her head.
“Cole? Same nice Cole? Oh no” Maria gasped, shedding tears again
“He’ll be punished, trust me. Ken will take care of him. You should go to bed, Cheeks. You need the rest” Natty said.
“But… Kenzie is…
“Of course is mad mad at you, but this ain’t the time to settle. Go to bed we’ll talk about it tomorrow morning” Natty said, and Hazel nodded.
Reluctantly, she allowed Maria to take her away, and Natty entered the second mansion, but she gasped when she saw the game room door is down, and Miguel is sitting in the living room with a bloodstained back.
Eminem is standing in front of the shattered door too, staring in shock.
“What the eff happened here?” Natty asked slowly.
“You already know” Miguel replied blandly, lightening a cigar.
“Captain wouldn’t hurt you if you didn’t give him a reason to” Eminem replied defensively.
“And the reason had to be that bîtchy Hazel?” Miguel stood with the smoke on his lips
“Oh mate, I can stay still and listen to anything else but not you calling my girl a bîtch. Did you see her fuçking around? Yes she made a mistake but I’m sure she learnt her lesson already so quit this!” Natty snapped seriously.
“You both aren’t aware that she was the one he caught at the initiation, are you?” Miguel scoffed, and their eyes widened.
“What!”
“See? If care is not taken, I’d clear her myself” Miguel said bitterly and entered the game room.
Eminem and Natty rushed upstairs to meet Kenzie in his room.
He’s sitting at the edge of his bed, holding a bottle of vodka, his favorite alcohol.
“It was Hazel at the initiation?” Eminem asked straight.
He drank from his bottle, not replying at all.
“What if Lord Steel finds out? He’d kill her” Natty said, and Kenzie looked up.
“Maybe if I’m already dead by then” he said simply, and they both sighed.
Eminem took the bottle from him to drink, and Natty left the room.
Tonight was hectic, and she’s so darn tired.
“Natty” Lee called from the stairs, and she smiled automatically,.
“Hey kiddo… you’re here”
His mood changed immediately.
“I’m not a child. I’m seventeen, just three years younger than you” he muttered, and she smiled again.
“Are you spending the night here tonight?”
“Yeah, in Eminem’s room, but you can have this” he brought out a really small doll, the size of a palm
“What’s this?” She asked.
“A dreamcatcher. Just fold your palm on it while going to sleep, it’d swallow your bad dreams” he explained, and she chuckled.
“Thank you” she stroked his hair softly.
He smiled wide, and she bade him goodnight before entering her room.

ANNEX*
The time is 11pm, but Hazel has no sleep in her eyes.
Maria spent the night in her room tonight, and she’s already fast asleep beside her, but sleep is perfectly eluding her.
Kenzie is all she could think of in her small head
How to apologize to him for her folly.
He came for her again after what she did, and that almost made her start crying cos she’s aware she doesn’t deserve it at all.
She slowly got down from the bed, making sure she didn’t wake Maria.
She walked to the mirror and checked her neck out
It’s still so red as a result of the chains, and it hurts, but it’d surely reduce before daybreak.
She sat on the chair and opened the table drawer, bringing out the dice bracelet he picked at the cemetery, Kenzie’s bracelet.
It smells like him, and she bit her lip slightly, dropping it to get her phone.
She went online and began searching for HOW TO APOLOGIZE TO A GUY.
She got several suggestions from Google, but they all require money which she doesn’t have.
She opted for the last one… Meal.
She tiptoed out of the annex and slithered into the main mansion.
She successfully entered the kitchen and started trying to make something.

THIAGO ALEJANDRO’S CASTLE*
Like a king’s abode, the castle is magnificent and gigantic… it’s a tourism-worthy place cos of the paradisiacal features.
There are several floors, but Thiago himself stays at the penthouse on the last floor.
The lights in that particular floor are still on, and it’s glittering in all it’s richness.
Thiago came out of his house office and met his personal bodyguard waiting in front with a bow.
“Here” he gave him a woman’s picture, and the guard took it.
“Her name?” He asked respectfully.
“No idea, I met her once 19 years ago. Find her” Thiago replied, and the guard bowed again
“Yes boss”
He left the penthouse, and Thiago made a slow walk show to the living room.
He turned on the TV and grimaced when Hugo Torrance came on screen with his political allies and the president.
“Hugo…long time no see” Thiago smiled lethally.

NEXT MORNING, AMBER’S PLACE*
The band will be releasing their comeback album unfailingly next month, and practices start this week
Hope is the songwriter, and after working with the team for several nights, she submitted the lyrics last night.
Amber came downstairs feeling refreshed with the cold morning breeze.
Surprisingly, she met Penny sitting downstairs already, watching TV.
She even served herself some juice, placing her legs on the center table.
“Hey what do you think you’re going?” Amber smirked, and she stood with a large smile.
“Aren’t we besties? You said I could come anytime. Good morning” she said, and Amber scoffed.
“Amber!” Katherine rushed in suddenly, startling them.
“What’s up? why the rush?” Amber asked fast.
“Cole is missing, and his parents were found dead in a slum this morning with their five protectors!” Katherine wailed, and Amber gasped.
“What!”

TORRANCE ESTATE, KITCHEN*
Hazel was even unaware of when the day broke.
She had slept off in the kitchen after several efforts to make an apology meal for Kenzie last night.
Lee came into the kitchen and smiled when he saw her asleep with her head on the island.
He got a canned drink from the freezer and placed it on her cheek .
She woke up with a jump, and he laughed.
“Whoa! You made a lot!” He said, looking at the food tray on the island.
Hazel quickly went to check the steamed ribs on fire, and she smiled when she saw it’s cooked already.
She served it and placed it on the tray with the other meals.
“Who’s all that for?” Lee asked.
“Secret” she replied, leaving the mansion.
She was on her way to the second mansion when she saw Kenzie in front of it already.
He’s not alone though, he’s with a vet doctor who brought him a dog, and the cute blonde dog is busy jumping on him and like they’ve known each other for a long time.
Kenzie has a large smile on his face, and she could swear it’s the first time she saw him smiling genuinely.
It looks freaking good on him.
The doctor eventually left, and Kenzie took the dog to the annex surprisingly.
Hazel followed, and he climbed a staircase which led to the annex rooftop.
It’s where Maria washes at whenever she wants to do hand-wash clothes.
There are several clothesline there too, for drying.
Kenzie settled on a bench, and the dog kept , crying happily.
He stroked it’s fur fondly, and that was when he sighted Hazel.
He looked up, and she almost froze, but she gulped and moved closer, avoiding his eyes till he got to him and dropped the food tray beside him on the bench.
She stood straight, straightened her skirt and blinked countlessly.
“I… I’m…
“Don’t” he cut her off sharply, and their eyes met.
“Huh?”
“Just do what you fuçking want, Hazel. Anytime you say sorry, you end up upgrading to a worse level” he replied uninterested, and she felt her chest slinging as he stood.
He started taking the dog away, and she quickly blocked him, his height covering hers completely.
“I… I mean it this time. If I behave like a dummy again, throw me away and do anything you want. I’m really very sorry, for the slaps. I’ll change, I promise” she said in a rush, and he sighed.
“And… thanks for saving me last night. I won’t ever take it for granted again” she said, and when his blank face still persisted, she smiled awkwardly.
“I hope you enjoy the…food.” She said and turned at once.
She might start stuttering again if she says more.
She got the biggest shock of the year when she was suddenly pulled back, and in the next minute, she was in Kenzie’s arms.
He hugged her so fuçking tight, and she lost all of her air immediately.
Did he just…
“You smell like salad” he whispered.
“I spent all night in the kitchen” she replied, and he tightened the hug.
She smiled and raised her hands to the back of his neck, wrapping them there before standing on her toes so the hug deepened so much.
Meanwhile, Anna is watching from the stairs…she actually trailed Hazel here.
She folded her fists tight, and her nails dug into her palm in the process.
She waltzed back to the main mansion, her gown flowing behind her till she opened her room door and stepped in.
She picked a heels shoe from her rack and threw it at the mirror, smashing it.
She got her phone and unlocked it.
Kenzie is the home screen wallpaper with several hearts surrounding him.
She smashed the phone too and started crying, holding her head with two hands
“Hazel…not you, at all”
