Chapter 25
Oliver got to the patio only to find no one there. He had been waiting here earlier for Isobel but had to leave for an important meeting and he had told one of the staff to inform Isobel if she shows up and also to tell her to wait for him at the patio but she wasn’t even here.
He turned to leave only to see Melissa standing a few paces away starring at him.
“Waiting for Isobel?”she asked.
“Am still angry at you Melissa. I don’t want to talk”He said as he turned to walk past her only for her to hug him from behind.
“What are you doing?”Oliver asked
“Why don’t you see me? Why haven’t you seen my heart? I keep on trying to show it to you by being by your side and keeping you company but you never see me” Melissa said crying.
“No! Don’t pull away”She said as she held onto him.
“I love you Oliver. Have loved you for a long time and have waited for you to see me but all you care about is Isobel.
Isobel who doesn’t even remember you or your past together” She added still crying and Oliver turned around to stare at her.
“Am sorry for not having noticed your feelings for me but things happen for a reason. It goes to show that am not the man for you.
The one for you will surely find you soon. You deserve someone better, someone who loves you”He said as Melissa kept shaking her head while she cried.
“I don’t want anyone else. Your the one I love. Your the one I want to notice me. Say that you love me! Say it!”She yelled as she held onto his shirt.
“I can’t do that. I can’t tell you what isn’t true. You know that I love Isobel and I will keep on loving her” Oliver replied as he pulled her hand from his shirt and turn to leave.
“Then you don’t care if something happens to her right?”Melissa asked suddenly and he turned to stare at her.
“What do you mean? ”
“Right now she’s with Marco and i bet that he is already having her to him…..”
“Where is she!’Oliver asked as he shaked her roughly.
“Right in Room 405 even if you get to her. It will be too late”Melissa voice followed him as he ran out of the patio heading to the room she was in.
He got there only to find it locked. He knocked severally calling Isobel name but all he got was nothing.
Having told the guard to bring one of the spare key. He opened the door only to see Isobel sitting on the floor while Marco layed unconscious on the floor.
“Isobel”He called as he went to her to give her a hug.
“I klled him….I…I klled him” Isobel said as she began crying.
“He is still breathing”The guard said to her.
“Can you take care of things here”Oliver said and when the guard nodded. He carried Isobel out of the room.
As soon as he got to her room. He sat her down on the bed and was going to get her something to drink when she pulled him back.
“Don’t leave me. Please”She begged and he sat down beside her to cradle her into his arms again.
“What happened? Can you explain or is it too much to ask”Oliver asked.
“Just as I got your letter I was heading to the patio when I met a staff who told me to go to that room and wait for you there since you were in a meeting”
“I did as I was told only to find Marco there. He said he wouldn’t let me leave and kept coming to me and when I tried to escape. He pulled me back to the bed, kssing me.
I felt so disgusted and grabbed the first thing that came to my hand, h!tting it on his head “She finished shaking with fear.
“He won’t d!e right?”She asked as he cradled her more closely.
“He won’t d!e. Marco won’t die. Just get some rest “Oliver said as he pulled back the bed cover to let her lie in it.
He stayed until she was asleep and when he stood up to leave. She held onto his hand preventing him from leaving.
“What’s wrong?”he asked.
“Oliver can you do something for me?”She asked softly.
“What can I do?”
“Can you please….make love to me”Isobel said stunning Oliver into silence for a while.
“Being in Marco arms made me realise that if I must have my first time with someone. Then it has to be you” she explained.
“Why must it be with me?”Oliver asked.
“I want it to be with you because you are the man I love and want” she said making Oliver happy.
He sat down on the bed, tightening his hand on hers.
“Are you sure of what you are saying?”Oliver asked.
“I am sure. Am sorry it took a while to give you a reply but I was only trying to sort out my feelings first”She said.
“I love you Oliver. You are the one for me”She added a bit shyly and immediately Oliver got into the bed to kss her.
“Are you sure about this? You won’t regret whatever happens tonight?” Oliver asked as he broke the kss and she nodded.
“Whatever happens tonight will always be precious to me” She said as she initiated the kss this time which led to them making sweet passionate love to each other that night.
