Lauraβs POV
Lauraβs reaction to the news put her parents and Priscilla in a tensed mood.
They wondered if Dracole had cast a spell on her or something. Her parents and Priscilla were surprised when she asked to be left alone. At first they were reluctant to leave her alone but since Laura wouldnβt stop shouting they had no other option than to leave her room.
Laura wouldnβt stop sobbing. She stood up and paced round the room. It was while she was pacing round the room she felt something in her pocket.
She took the item out and realized it was a pendant. It was Dracoleβs own. Dracole had put the pendant Into Lauraβs pocket before releasing her.
Laura was too engrossed in thoughts to notice. She checked her pocket to see if there were any other thing In it.
And yes! She found a note.
It was written..
Keep the pendant lolita itβs yours. Itβs a present from me to you. Darling I am afraid the end is near so I want to use this medium to say sorry for the hurt I have caused you. I appreciate your kind heartedness towards me. Thanks for saving my life. I love you and will never forget you. I canβt assure you by the time you get to read this I wonβt be already dead but if it happens that way I Know I will leave this world a happy man reminsicing on the good times we had. From your admirer.
Daramola.
Laura stared at the note countless times. She didnβt know if she should keep it or discard it.
Eventually she kept the note and the pendant in her wardrobe. She resolved within her heart that she would find something to do with them later.
Charlesβs POV
Charles eyes were swollen like that of someone suffering from eyes inflammation. He had almost cried his chest out because of his loss. He couldn’t believe Dracole was gone. It was a harsh reality he found difficult to accept.
He pondered on how he would escape the penalty that would be melt out to him on a couple of days. He didnβt have connection like Dracole. He could only boast of ill gotten money in his bank account and that was unreliable because he knew it wouldnβt take too long for the authorities to freeze his account because of the way he acquired his wealth.
Charles cleaned his face with his Palm. He was thirsty. His throat had dried and was getting sore. He felt choked he was gasping for breath when he saw a figure that looked like his twin brother.
He looked at the direction the figure was heading to. He was amazed when he saw the person was Steve his twin brother. Charles bowed his head in shame. He thought his brother had come to chastise him.
When Steve came closer to Charles, he smiled and spoke.
βHiding from your best friend? You know you shouldnβt be doing that.β
βQuit the pretense what did you come here to do Steve? To mock me? Or to chastise me like a kid?β
Charles asked.
βNope I didnβt come to do any of the things you listed. I only came to sympathize with you.β
βSympathize who the hell died?β
β Dracole. I heard Dracole is dead.β
βAnd who the hell told you that?β
Charles frowned his face.
βYou should already know bad news spread like wild fire.β
βOohhh ohhh ! where are your flowers bro? You shouldnβt come empty handed to sympathize with the family of a deceased.β
βDracole was never your family.β
Steve blurted out.
βAnd you are right? You make me laugh.β
βListen I know you are hurt but you shouldnβt be blinded by hate.β
βDo you even have an idea of how I feel right now? I guess you donβt.β
βI do. Of cos I share in your pain. I know how much you relied on Dracole. He was the fence you rested your back on afterall but heβs gone now and you need to think straight.β
βSo you came here to tell me how to think . Bravo! You are doing well Steve.β
βI didnβt come here for unnecessary arguments. I only came here to amend things.β
βToo late bro. You neglected me when I needed you most. You kept me in the dark . You didnβt let people around you know I was a part of your life. I am nothing but a plague to you.β
βI wonβt fall for your emotional blackmail. Heavens know I tried my best to convince you to come with me but you refused. You stayed back despite my several warnings . I had no other option than to cut you off because your way didnβt tally with mine.β
βThen are you here doll face? I donβt need you here so just get out. I donβt need pity from an hypocrite like you.β
Steve sighed.
βJust so you know, The penalty of your crimes are heavy. You need all the help you can get now and I am here to offer you my unconditional support at least if I get the best lawyer in the city your term of imprisonment will be reduced.β
βOf what use is that? My crimes are way too many. Even if my year of imprisonment is reduced there wonβt be much difference. You probably would already be a Grandpa by the time I come out so whatβs the use? By the way who would want to associate with an ex convict? Not to talk of marriage.β
βItβs never too late Charles. If you are still alive thereβs hope. See this as a second chance to amend your way. I will check on you later. I got to go . Take care.β
Steve looked at his twin brother in the eye before taking his leave. His words had effects on Charles. Charles wouldnβt stop reminiscing on what he said.
Louisβs father was cracking jokes with Louis when suddenly a call came in on his phone. He checked the screen and smiled when he realized it was Lauraβs father. He picked it up.
Lauraβs father spoke.
βHello good evening sir . I trust you are doing great?β
βSure I am. My son is getting better he now smiles with me and we play a lot these days.β
βWoow thatβs a great news. I am excited to hear that.β
βThank you. Howβs home? I hope the private investigator and his team are closer to finding Laura?β
βWell thatβs the reason why I called. Can you guess whoβs back home after such a long time.β
βWait donβt tell me. I donβt believe it. You mean Laura has been found and is already home?β
βYes my daughter is home. My heart is beating fast as a result of joy. Is Louis there with you?β
βYes he is. But I doubt he can relate with what you want to say. Once Laura is ready she can come and visit him. I know with time Louis will remember her.β
βI have high hopes Louis will. I sure do.β
βYeah. Where is Laura right now? Is she in her room?β
βYes she is. Sheβs refused to talk to any one of us. I just hope she will be fine soon.β
βSorry thatβs expected. I guess sheβs still in shock. Please take it easy with her.β
βThanks. We are already doing that.β
βAlright then.β
βOoops before I forget. Howβs Nicodemus? Hope heβs preparing for his trial?β
βDude is sad and filled with guilt. He feels heβs unworthy of being given a second chance.β
βEiishh. I guess heβs feeling unworthy of himself and afraid of what to tell Louis once he recover his memory. You know the truth canβt be hidden forever.β
βYeah I know that. My wife and I donβt intend on hiding the truth of what happened to Louis once he recovers . Afterall we canβt tell him his brother died cos he will definitely ask of him.β
βYes thatβs true. Do enjoy the rest of the day sir. The private investigator is here already. I have to attend to him.β
βAlright thanks for the call I appreciate.β
βDonβt mention.β
Lauraβs father cut the call and offered the private investigator a seat.
βI am glad you are here.β
Lauraβs father said with a smile on his face.
βYeah I am happy you are. Howβs your wife and daughter?β
βMy wife is doing great sheβs asleep as we speak. I canβt say the same for Laura though. Sheβs been acting weird.β
βItβs expected. What she went through wasnβt easy. I would act same way if I were in her shoes.β
βThat guy Dracole. Have you figured out why he didnβt ask for a ransom? I have
A lot of questions in my head. My daughter seems to be affected by his death.β
βReally?β
βYes she does.β
βWell from my investigations I figured out Laura and Dracole attended the same university. Daramola is
Dracoleβs native name. Dracole is just a street name.β
βSo does it mean Laura and him were friends on campus?β
βI canβt say for sure all that happened between Dracole and Laura on campus all I know is they were a bit close before they had a clash. Laura should be able to tell better once sheβs recovered from the shock.β
βOhh yeah thanks man. I appreciate your efforts. Do you care for a drink. Have got chilled fruit drink you would definitely like.β
βAlright Sir. I am thirsty already.β
βGive me a seconds.β
Lauraβs father took a chilled fruit drink from the fridge in a bottle and offered the private investigator in a glass cup.
βWoow this taste great.β
The private investigator said with an enthusiastic voice.
βYou want more?β
βNah am full already. Another day.β
βAlright. I would like you to celebrate with me on my birthday. I am going to celebrate it in this mansion. I intend on using the opportunity to celebrate my daughterβs return as well.β
βOhh wow I canβt promise you I will come but if your event doesnβt affect my schedule I will definitely show up. Whatβs the code?β
β20th of this month. Sunday precisely.β
βWow thatβs just five days left to the great day.β
βYes dear. My joy is complete because my daughter is here. I had told myself I wouldnβt celebrate it I didnβt know my daughter would show up soon. Itβs all thanks to you I canβt stop being grateful.β
βItβs okay sir. I only did my job.β
The private investigator smiled.
βSorry whatβs that your name again?β
Lauraβs dad asked the the private investigator.
βKenneth. My name is Kenneth. Although my dad calls me Zion junior. He does that playfully though.β
βI think I love the Zion Junior.β
Lauraβs father teased.
Priscilla who wanted to thank the private investigator for his efforts was dumbstruck when she heard Zion junior.
She had left her room when she heard his voice . The private investigator had come to pay a visit in the mansion once so he recognized his voice.
She opened her mouth in awe.
βNo it canβt be.β
She soliloquized.
