NIGHTMARE MARRIAGE : CHAPTER 41 – THE END

BY JOY FAVOUR SHAKA

CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE

~
Inside a black range rover with tilted windows, two men smoking Indian hemp as they kept a close eye at a small building not to far from where they parked their car. They watched as a seven years old boy walked out of the house, an evil grin formed on one of ’em lips….they instantly recognized the little boy dressed in a plain white uniform. They had no doubt that the lady they saw on that day would definitely also live there.

One of ’em who bears the name Phil, grabbed his smart phone and wasted no time in calling the man who sent them on a mission, their boss.

The man, answered his call and asked in a very impatient deep voice. “Yes??!.”

“We’ve found where she stays.” Leo, the blonde haired said since his partner’s phone was placed on loudspeaker.

“Bingo!.” Their boss exclaimed, probably grinning d’vilishly wherever he was.

“Text me the address.” He added.

Mrs James.
~
I was doing the laundry when I heard knocks on my door, I quickly had to leave the clean clothes I was folding to go get the door. It should be Lisa..I sent her to help me get what we’ll be having for dinner so she ought to have been back.

I opened the door as the small smile on my lips faded, I arched my brow confusedly at the three strangers in front of my doorstep. I thought it was Lisa…..

“Good morning…?.” I said nervously….yes, I felt nervous seeing one of them wearing face mask. I mean…I wondered who they are and what they wanted.

“Good morning ma’am, can we come in?.” The man with blonde hair said.

Come in??. Why?.. To do what??. They don’t seem like those who repair broken stuffs??.

“To do what please?.” I asked them politely.

“Kindly let us in ma’am and you’ll know later.” The second man said.

Of course I still felt nervous, I shook my head negatively and responded. “Sorry I can’t do that, go visit other neighbors.”

The one who wore face mask scoffed angrily, he suddenly brought out something from his pocket…I looked at it properly as my heart raced….a gvn!.

“Let us in bch or your brains will be on the floor!!.” He said coldly.

“Yes…yes!.” I replied with shaky breathe, feeling scared as hell. I opened the door wide for them to enter, I closed the door gently after they got in and faced them.

“What do you want please?.” I asked as two of them splits up, one went to our bedroom while the other went to my kitchen. What or who are they looking for???.

I couldn’t even do anything cause the man who wore mask aimed his gvn at my head.

The two men came back, “Boss, she isn’t here.” They told the scary mask man.

“What?!.” He exclaimed angrily, he turned to face me still aiming the gvn at me.

“Where is she!?.” He barked.

I flinched, trembling with fear. “Who???.” I shuddered.

“Melissa.” He said making my heart race even more faster. What??!. They’re here for Lisa?. Why?. Who are they?. What do they want with Lisa???.

“She….she….she’s not here.” I said with tremulous voice.

He chuckled and nodded, “Oh….I see she must have told you everything…..about me.” He said and removed his face mask.

“Do you know who I am?.” He asked pointing at his chest.

“N…no sir.” I stammered.

“Good!. I’m gonna kill you and then feed your wretched flesh to the vultures if you don’t speak up, where is she!?.” He yelled at me.

Oh Lisa…! I pray she doesn’t come home at this moment!.

“I swear I don’t know who bears the name Lisa….! I’m telling the truth!. I live alone in this house with my son, please!.”

He scoffed and turned to look at the other two men. “I thought you fools confirmed she lives here?!.” He shouted at them furiously while I faced the floor, praying silently Lisa doesn’t come home.

“Boss, we are very sure she was the lady and besides she was walking with this woman’s son on that very day.” He pointed at me.

He chuckled again, sat on my couch with his legs crossed and threw a smirk at me. “Kneel.” He commanded as i obeyed instantly.

“Am gonna ask you one more time old bch..” He said in a low and deep voice which sent shivers down my spine.

“Where is Melissa?.”

With a shaky breathe and pounding heart, I slowly responded. “I don’t know who you’re talking about.” I lied, of course I’ll never put my child in danger, Lisa.

“Alright …then.” He said standing up and gazed at the two men. “Let’s go.” He told them.

I remained on my kneels as they walked towards my door, the two men got out….their boss was about to also step out of my living room when he turned and pointed the gun at me again.

“This would be a warning to Melissa when she comes back!.” He muttered and pulled the trigger.

I felt a strong force hit me…I winced in pain as I fell back on the floor. I heard the sound of the door closed, they’re gone.

I felt weak, I watched as my own bIood rush out from my body. “Lisa…” I cried in pain.

Melissa.

I breathe out, finally am home from the local market!. It’s very far from home but things sold there are very cheap… I knocked on the door and waited for mom to open it for me but she didn’t. I knocked twice again, still the same thing. Is she asleep or isn’t she around?. I thought she said she would be staying at home today or has she gone to work?.

I sighed, “Mom?.” I called and knocked on the door harder this time.

No one responded inside and i didn’t hear any footstep, I checked the foot rug to see if she had kept the key underneath it but it wasn’t there.

That means she didn’t go out….she’s inside. Is she asleep or what?.

I tried twisting the door knob and to my surprise, it opened wide. It…it wasn’t locked???.

I got inside with the bags I was holding and closed the door behind. My gaze went to the floor as I let out a scream, “Mom!!?.”

She laid on the floor on her own pool of bIood. Jesus Christ!. What happened here?!.!. I dropped the bags and quickly rushed to her.

“Mom,…..what happened?.” I tapped her gently, her eyes are partially closed….she kept bIeeding profusely.

“L….li…Lisa?.” She said in a faint voice. She tired looking at me as she held her stomach.

Tears flew down my cheeks, I helped her sit up. “Who did this to you?. What happened??. Mom….?.” I said.

“Three men….they kept asking for you….” She said panting heavily.

“Three men??.” I muttered within me. I faked a smile, “Don’t worry you’ll be okay!.” I said, tore my dress and wrapped it around her stomach….at least to stop the bIood from rushing out.

“Let’s get you to the hospital.” I told her softly and helped her to stand on her feet.

Immediately the nurse took her to the operating room, I dialed Ryan’s phone number and fortunately, he picked up once.
“Ryan….Ryan…”

“Melissa…..Are you okay?. You don’t sound good, What’s the problem?.” He sounded worried.

“Ryan, it’s Mrs James….she’s at the hospital as we speak.” I sobbed.

“Hospital???. How?. What happened?.” He uttered.

“I…I…she..said three men visited her and they…kept…they kept asking for me. Ryan…, am scared!. What..what if it’s Jacob…?. My instinct tells me it was Jacob and his boys who shot her.”

“It can’t be Jacob, I thought you said he took the poison?”

“Yeah but….this is Jacob we are talking about…and besides, my instinct never deceives me Ryan.” I said.

He sighed. “Alright, text me the address of the hospital you took her to. I’ll be on my way!.”

“Alright…Ryan, am so scared!. I don’t want anything bad to happen to Mrs James….she doesn’t deserve any of this!. I…really don’t know what’s gonna happen if she…”

“Don’t say that.” He cuts in. “Baby she’ll be fine, I promise. Where’s Kevin?.”

“He’s with me.”

After filling my stomach with delicious pancakes, I took my bath and got dressed in baggy clothes cause i was suddenly feeling a little bit cold. And since I literally have nothing to do, I decided to watch a movie.

I grabbed a snack and settled down on the couch, I selected a romantic movie and began watching it till I eventually felt sleepy.

Ding dong!, the door bell rings jolting me up. I let out a yawn and glanced at the time, it’s 3:15pm….Scott can’t be back by this time.

Did he forget any important document?. I walked to the door and twisted the door knob open to see a man who doesn’t seem familiar dressed in casual dress.

“Good afternoon ma’am.” He greeted politely.

“Afternoon, who are you please?.”

“Oh am Mr Scott’s new driver, Ken.” He smiled broadly.

New driver?. Scott has gotten a new driver??. Since when??. Has he fired Jack?. Cause I know Jack drove him to work this morning….so what could have happened?.

“Okay?.” I responded.

“Mr Scott told me to drive you back home ma’am.”

“Home??.”

“Yes ma’am.”

So soon???. Why??.

I sighed, that punk!. “Aright then, you have to wait for me to pack my things.” I told him.

“Oh there’s no need for that ma’am, he said that won’t be necessary.”

“Really?. He said that?.”

“Yes ma’am.” He nodded.

“Well okay then, I should change at least.”

“No problem ma’am.”

I changed into comfy clothes and sat at the back seat of the car. Ken hits the road, I sighed….looking out the tilted window. I faced ken, “He’s still at work right?.” I asked him.

“Yes ma’am, He is very busy today.” He replied.

“Oh…I see.” I muttered. I suddenly thought of Jack, Scott’s former driver. He is a very nice person….what could have happened that made Scott fire him just like that?. Gosh, I feel pity for him though.

“Ken, that’s the way home.” I said immediately he passed a different route.

“Ken…ken!.” I called but he didn’t respond. “Ken am talking to you!.”

He looked at me from the rear view mirror and smirked, the way he smirked sent chills down my spine. “Shut the fk up!.” He said coldly.

What??.

He puts the car to a stop and faced me with a gvn in his hand. “Get down!.” He uttered low.

Unexpectedly, someone outside opened the car door. I stepped out from the car to see a man in mask. Oh gosh….what’s happening. I looked around with fear, bushes everywhere.

My vision became blank when the man placed a sack on my head. They kept pushing me as they led me to God knows where.

“What’s going on?.” I wondered as my heart kept racing.
