THE ONE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR: Chapter 1 – 10

?CHAPTER 6?
??? MATILDA’S POV???
Excuse me why are you after me? I asked as I finally summoned the courage to speak.
Wow! I’m so happy to finally hear you speak, I missed you so much… He said with his deep voice and once could sense evil in the way he talked.
I will answer your question now. I’ve been searching for you ever since I got rid of your father and I happened to be lucky the day I came across your mother and sister. I wasted no time in finishing them off, and I won’t ever forgive myself if I don’t get you killed. None of your father’s family ought to be alive… He said
No! Just spare me please, I promise not to ever run into you. As you can see, I’ve got no grudge against you. If you wanna kill me because you’re thinking I’d avenge their death then you’re mistaken. I’ve accepted my fate, I can’t do anything. I pleaded hoping he would accept.
I’ve had enough of your annoying face, I need to make you suffer before killing you finally… Be said and brought out a baton from where I don’t even know.
I moved back as he walked to me, don’t even think about running away, or you’ll make me attracted than I had planned… He said but I paid deaf ears to him and ran for my life.
He caught up with me and the first thing he did was give me as thunderous slap which made tears stream down my eyes…. “Forgive me please” I begged but he kept on slapping me instead, just then my phone started ringing.
“why is Anita calling me at this very moment” I thought hoping he won’t come for the phone.
I answered it and her voice filled my ear. Hi! I managed to say.
Babe what’s wrong, where are you, why do you sound so scared and frightened? Geez! I called you because I kept having bad feelings that something’s gonna happen to you. Talk to me please… She added
I’ll call you back was the only thing I could say as I hung up and finally decided to brazen up as I mustered some courage up in me and decided to fight him.
He wanted to hit me again, but I was quick to dodge it and I gave him a kick instead and bit his back. He grabbed my hair forcefully which inflicted pain in me but I didn’t give up as I continued fighting him.
I was able to kick him in his groin but I’m sure it didn’t hit him well. I took that as an opportunity to run for my life.
I was still running when I felt something hard hit my head which made my feet wobble and I on my knees instantly. I wasn’t concentrating on where I’m running to, but was looking at the back instead.
“There you go” he said as he caught up with me and hit the baton in my head again making everything become blurry as my head spinned. I watched him as he made to hit me again, but was stopped by a sudden strong force which I couldn’t see clearly before I blacked out.
I woke up with a slight headache an heavy eyeball and stared at the white ceiling above me. It turned and saw some equipments connected to my body. “am I in an hospital” I thought to myself and shut my eyes back and reopened it to be sure of what I was seeing.
I made to sit, I grabbed the pillow and placed it in a way that could make me rest my back on it. I rested my head on my palm as I tried recollecting what happened and why I find myself in an hospital again.
Was I saved,, who how when and why? I asked myself as I gasped on remembering I was almost killed and abducted. I thought about it again and remembered I saw someone stop Elon as he was about hitting me again.
Who could that be? I asked myself again, just then, a doctor came in with a nurse. Even If I don’t know anything, I can distinguish a nurse from a doctor.
How are you feeling now, do you feel any complications? He asked after doing some check ups on me.
Nah, I’m just having headache and my whole body aches… I complained.
You’ll be fine after a while, just make sure you eat whatever food Is given to you, so you’ll be able to take medications… He said
Alright! But please, who brought me here if i may ask… I said
You were rushed in here yesterday by a young man. Don’t worry, he’ll be here soon. He left because he had some business to attend to… He replied and I sighed
Should I start praying for sickness so I’ll be visiting an hospital to have a better sleep? I thought sadly.
I ate and was given some anaesthesia before drifting into another round of sleep.
I woke up hours later and met the guy I pleaded for an assistance from the other day, sitting by the bedside operating his phone while some people who I guess are his bodyguards stood behind him.
Our eyes met as I looked at them and they informed their boss of my present state.
Thank God you’re awake, I just decided to let you wake up before I leave finally. Don’t worry, I’ve paid all your bills, you can return home when you’re discharged… He said
Uncle? I called as an idea of pretending to have a memory loss popped on my head.
Are you referring to me? He asked and i nodded. Aren’t you my uncle? I asked
No! I’m not, you’re just being delusional. I only saved you out of pity and besides the doctor didn’t tell me you have a memory loss. I think I need to go see doctor to ask about your condition… He said and made to leave, but the doctor entered instead.
Oh! I was about coming to see you in your office, I need to ask about her condition… He said to the doctor as soon as he entered
She’s perfectly fine, nothing is wrong with her. She’ll be discharged tomorrow morning… he said
What do you mean by what you said about saving me out of pity? What happened to me and who am I? I asked again feigning pretence and they stared at me with a surprised look.
She acts like she’s lost her memory, can you re run some tests on her? He requested.
I sure will, but the result will take a while before getting ready… The doctor replied and I sighed.
“I can at least take action when they’re working on it” I thought.
I watch them leave one after the other while the nurse enters to give me my dasage.
“I need your help please” I said when she finished attending to me. And what is that? She asked.
Could you please help me change the lab result? I need to convince them that I’ve truly lost my memory. I’ve got no where to return to and someone is after my life.
The man that saved me might help me if he gets to know that I’m hopeless and helpless… I said
That’s against the policy and it’s a great crime in my line of duty, just keep praying to God so he will help you out… She replied
I kept on pleading to her and was able to convince her after being so persistent and she agreed to help me out.
“There you go” the doctor said as he handed over the test result to the guy. I’m sorry for not carrying out a proper test the other time, but she truly has a memory loss… He said which made me smile secretly while still putting on an act.
Alright! Thanks doctor, we’ll get going now… He said and stood up while I followed.
I made sure I clung to him as we walked, though he tried to free himself from my grip, I held him right instead.
I winked at the nurse that helped me out and secretly gave her a thumbs up as I walked past her in the lobby.
You and I aren’t family, I’m just trying to help you which I know I shouldn’t be doing.
I will allow you in my house till you regain your memory and that’s because I don’t know how to find any of your family member, understood? He said and I nodded.
A new life, here I come… I said to myself as I entered the car
TBC…
Do you think her lie would last long??
