Written by Gbemi
Semi final
“Isobel!”Oliver called as he walked further into the room, hoping that Isobel might be in the room.
He called again but there was no reply, he began to head out only for the bathroom door to open with Isobel walking out of it with her ear pod in her ears.
“Isobel!”He called out in relief before walking the few distance that separate them to hug her.
“What’s wrong Oliver?”the stunned Isobel asked as she managed to pull out one ear pod.
“I thought you left! Don’t ever scare me like this again”Oliver said as he let go.
“I won’t and besides you kept those guards at the door, how on earth would I leave?” She asked teasingly.
“Are you sure that your not thinking about leaving?” Oliver asked.
“I won’t deny that I still think about it but let’s forget that. Have been watching online cooking so I can cook something for you tonight and…..”
“Why would you cook in a hotel?”Oliver asked interrupting her.
“Its because I want to do it and besides it will be the first food I make for you by my own effort. So help me with this”She begged giving him a smile.
“You should be resting right now. You know how…..”
“Do not talk about my illness. I don’t want us to fight. I have a special night planned for us”Isobel told him.
“Special night? What does this special night entail?”He asked having a mischievous look on his face.
“What are you thinking? You perv! “she called before walking out of the room while he followed suit.
A while later, Oliver they got back home with the groceries she bought and while she cooked. Oliver sat watching, content on looking at her while she did.
Though she was disastrous at first, she finished cooking in one piece and while he showered, she set the table.
It was around eight in the evening that they both sat at the table to eat the things she prepared.
“Before eating just know that It was prepared with so much love”She said to him and he nodded in reply.
The first mouth spoon was a disaster but Oliver never let it show.
“Is it good?”Isobel asked and he nodded in reply.
“I thought I did bad”Isobel said as she ate the first spoon.
Oliver waited wondering if she would notice but she only gave a bright smile and continued eating.
“That song is great. Let’s dance “Isobel told him a while later as they both lay on a lounger to relax.
“Am still full. If I should move now I might end visiting the rest room, so let’s just stay like this and I like this much better”Oliver said cuddling her close.
“Your right but it will be much better if we drink something. I saw a wine in the fridge., I will go get it”She said as she stood up, heading to the fridge to bring the wine.
“Cheers to a better life”Isobel said as she gulped down her wine while Oliver held his, starring at her.
“Don’t you want to be treated?”Oliver asked thinking about her illness.
“I told you that we shouldn’t talk about that! Come tomorrow we might certain do that but today, let’s forget everything else and just enjoy this might together. Drink up “Isobel urged him and when drank his whole glass.
She moved towards him, kissing him on the lips while he held her close to him. The kss grew hotter and he carried her in his arms, taking her to the bed where he layed her on it.
While he began to unbutton her shirt, the button began to turn into two and three. He stared at Isobel face to see it split into two too.
What’s going on ? He thought as he shaked his head, trying to shake it back to normality but it only made it worse because he found himself feeling dizzy.
“What’s wrong Oliver?”Isobel asked as she watched him lay back on the bed.
“I don’t know….I ….I just suddenly feel…..”He stopped to stare at her face before blacken out.

THE NEXT DAY
Oliver woke up to find out that he was alone. He called out to Isobel but there was no response and it was then that it h!t him.
Isobel insistent on the wine they have last night was because she had put sleeping pills in it.
He was about heading out to ask for her when he saw a note on his desk.
He picked it up and when he read what was in it. He dashed out of the room.
“I know you told me not to do this but am
Leaving. Am sorry if I had to drug you
Just to get away but I had no choice.
You didn’t want me to leave but I had
To. My illness will only be a burden to
You and to me. There’s no hope for me
Oliver. Am dying and I dont want you to
Suffer along with me. So have decide
to leave. Its for the best and I hope that
you won’t waste your time in looking
For me cause I would have been long
Gone.
Take care of yourself Oliver and good
bye”
From Isobel.
AT THE CITY AIRPORT
Isobel got out of Oliver private jet and waited for her luggage to be removed by one of the pilot.
“Shouldn’t we call your husband about this?”One of the pilot asked.
“I already assured you that he gave me the permission to leave. So you don’t have to worry.
Take care of yourself”She said as she quickly took her luggage from him and turned to leave.
She got into the airport safely and got out of it. She was waving a taxi over to her when a car stopped in front of her and two men forcefully pulled her into the car before driving off.
