Throughout the entire ride, Mr. Black suit didn't say anything to me. He just keeps going through numerous papers and I'm starting to wonder what he is actually reading. "Am I going to die?" I suddenly ask him and he stops what he is doing and turns to me. "Don't you get chills when you say that? He asks me in bewilderment. I shrug, "Not really." He murmurs, "I see why he came for..." I couldn't get the other things he is saying and I frown. Why do this people keep leaving me in suspense? "You see why he came for what? say it audibly so I can hear you..." I fold my arms across my chest waiting for him to say something. He scoffs, "Why do you think I will do what you say?" I didn't say anything but simply sigh and look away. What was I expecting anyway? "I don't want to scare you but you have to be strong Kemi because even I have no idea what's in for you. My boss has never done something like this before." I hear him say and I turn to look at him. He sips from his drink and heave a sigh. I smile, "You aren't bad after all. He turns to be with widening eyes as if in shock. "Trust me Kemi; you don't wanna know about me." I shrug, "At least you are talking to me." He shrugs, "You made me talk. I don't usually talk much." "The man from yesterday, are you related to him?" He looks at me in surprise, "Related? Nah. Do we even look alike?" I shake my head, "Not one bit but you have similar aura of mystery as him." He chuckles, "Aura of mystery? Hmm. I can never be compared to my boss Kemi." I squints my eyes at him, "Why? Is it because he's your boss?" "I don't wish to say more." He suddenly frowns and sips his drink. Have I offended him? I sigh and look at my hands as the atmosphere is suddenly replaced with silence, at least he even spoke to me. It actually calmed my fear and nervousness. Few minutes later, I could see LEKKI PENINSULA SCHEME 1 written in bold letters on the welcome board in front of us. "Lekki?"I say in a low voice staring at the environment. "Yeah."I hear him say beside me but I keep looking around. There are many nice and huge houses everywhere, it's clear that this is a place for the rich. After 30 minutes, the car comes to stop in front of a huge gate. "We're here." He says and I turn to see him looking at me. I swallow hard and sigh. Two huge men on black suits are standing in front of the gate and they're armed. For goodness sake, why are these men everywhere? What exactly do this people do? Is this accepted? Doesn't the federal government at least check things like this? I mean, they need to ask why a citizen is keeping armed people in his house, right? One of the men twitches his head to take a good look at the car before he says something placing his right hand on the security earpiece on his ear. The gate suddenly opens on its own revealing a huge mansion which makes me gape in awe. I know I expects him have a huge house but this is beyond what I expected. This isn't a house, its paradise. As the car drives into the compound, I stare at the large surrounding which has a very wide space. There are 8 carsball parked at the garage and 7 extra at free spaces in the compound and I bet these are not even all. There is a fountain of water in the middle and also some other armed men walking around the compound. "I see you re checking the compound out. There's also a helipad, pools, gyms and others just in case you're wondering." Mr. Black suit winks at me. "A helipad?" "Yes." "Don't tell me they also own a helicopter?" He shakes his head, "Not they, it belongs to one person." "Your boss?" He scoffs, "Shouldn't you be asking me what it is that they're going to make you do here?" I sigh, "You said you don't know either." He nods, "Yeah right." He turns to me and sigh. "You wanna survive here Kemi? Then mind your business." I stare at him starting to feel tense by his words. "What do you mean?" He shrugs, "I simply mean you should mind your business, don't you know what that means?" "What's your name?" I ask him. He stares at me for a while. "George." "George.."I repeat the name. "I presume you will stop talking nicely to me once we get down from this car right?" He smirks, "You're smart. Our beautiful conversation ends once we get down  from this car Kemi, I hope you're ready." I gulp, "Yes. He sighs and looks away. The car comes to a stop, I could see two men running to us and of course, they are armed. One of them opens the door and bows to George. "Welcome Capo." The man says to him. Capo? Is that short form of captain? George nods and steps out of the car. He turns to me with a serious look, "Out." I quickly come out from the car and stand close to him. I don't know why but he's the only one I think I can trust here, whether he is acting strict to me or not. "Bring her." He says to the men. They both nod and before I know it, they each grab me by the sides. Wait, what's going on? George looks at them and sighs. "Kuna hauka? (Are you crazy?)" Did I ask you to grab her?" He glares at them. Though I don't know what the first Words means but I assume he's asking them why they grabbed me? "We always do that so we thought it's still same." One of the men says bowing his head. They usually grab people like that? "Just escort her into the mansion, she can't run away anyway. The consigliere?" "Yana cikin quarters dinshi. (He is in his quarters.)" The man replies. Okay, what does that mean now? George nods and starts walking away. I move to follow him but the men stop me. "You should come with us." I stare at him in puzzle. To where? I nod and quietly follow them. They lead me through the same large entrance door George just went through. Why leave me with these people if he's going in too? My eyes widen in awe as we step inside  the mansion. Talking about where all the money in this country is going to? It's definitely here. It's so huge with magnificent and expensive furniture. Everywhere is so quiet and in order. There are few girls walking around maintaining the already sparkling looking furniture, all dressed in what seems like maid clothes, they're probably servants. As I look around, I see a fair skinned girl walking towards us. She is wearing a black leather legging with a chain-embellished pair of boots, a black crop top with ring chains and a black leather jacket. I think I could see tattoos on her exposed tummy. As she gets to where I stand with the men, I see clearly that she is wearing a cat eye makeup and has piercings on her bottom lip, eyebrows and I think 5 or more on both her ears. Her exposed neck is also covered in tattoos and I'm sure she might still have more under her jacket. I do not need to be told that she's a badass. Please don't tell me she's coming to take me. "Is this her?" She asks the men. "Yes capo." The men bow. She scans me from my head to toe with a scowl on her face. Don't this people ever smile? "George keeps giving me his duties..." She rolls her eyes. "Kawo ta (bring her)." She says and starts walking away. The men bow and gesture for me to start walking. Where are they taking me? I follow them silently. The badass is at our front walking with so confidence and authority. I take it that she must be someone very important in the house. Her phone rings and I watch her pull it out before placing it on her ear. Listening to whoever is calling her, she sighs. "George, I am not supposed to be doing trivial things like; I'm not obedient and nice like you." She pauses to listen before continuing "Do you even work for the boss or the consigliere?" She scoffs before adding on, "Whatever, where do I they take her? To the others?" To the others? Please badass, could you elaborate? Can these people  explain to this 'trivial' person, who is this consigliere and the boss? I'm sure the man from yesterday is either. And what's a consigliere by the way? I think I have heard of that, somewhere. "Sure." She dips the phone back into her pocket and turns to us. "Your job here is done, you may go." The men bow to her and leave quickly leaving me lone with this badass who keeps scowling at me. "Come with me now." She eyes me before walking away. I sigh and quickly follow her and she leads me to an elevator at a corner where she presses on the 3rdfloor button. The door slides open and she steps inside I stand staring at the elevator wondering where she's taking me to. "You are already annoying enough, just get the f**k in." She frowns deeply at me. I sigh and steps in nervously and in tension. As soon as the door of the elevator closes, I swallow hard. The elevator opens in the next few seconds and I step out nervously alongside the badass. I look around and could see it's as large and magnificent as the ground floor and there are men standing at every corner but they looked differentbfrom the armed men from downstairs. They might not be armed but something about them feels more dangerous than those armed men. Instead of suits, they are all wearing leather pants and jackets with boots. "Follow me." I hear the badass say and I quickly walk along with her. We walk pass few of the men and she comes to a stop at a door at the end. She places her hand on the security earpiece on her right ear. "She's here consigliere." She says. And immediately, the door slides open to the left side. "Go inside." She says to me. "I should go inside?" I ask again. She groans, "You sure ask lots of questions. Just go inside already." I stare into the dark room and gulp. The room is dark and I don't even know what's inside. How does she expect me to just enter? "Is the power faulty? Can you switch on the light?" "Get in or I will force you inside. She threatens me and from the serious look on her face, I can tell that she means it. Don't blame me, I have to be cautious because I know no one here and don't even know what I am going to face inside and of course, I'm scared too. I heave a sigh and slowly walk into the room and the door slides back abruptly making me jump in shock. God, I can't see anything now at all. Olodumare, what's in this room? Or who ? Tears gather in my eyes as I walk away from the door slightly, in fear of the unknown. Why did she leave me here in the dark? Maybe I should try and search for a switch and put on the power. I run my hand through the wall trying to see if there's a switch. "Glad to finally have you here, darling." I jump alittle at the voice. I recognize that voice; it's him, the man from yesterday. "Relax." I hear him say again. What....What is he going to do to me? Why did he send for me in this dark room? "I...I'm here now. What am I going to do? I manage to ask him. I hear him chuckle, "I said to relax darling, I don't bite. I believe you were welcomed properly right? I even sent an important man to come and get you, not everyone is that lucky?" "Why..Why would you send an important man to get me? I thought I'm here to pay for my father's dept.?" "Of course you are darling, I.." He pauses and I wonder why. God, I'm so nervous, what's going to happen next? Suddenly, I feel a hand grip my waist. "What... What are you doing?" I struggle to get out of his hold. "Shh darling, relax." I could feel his body presses against mine, his breath close to my neck. I start to panic. "Don'... Don't do anything please..." He stops me by placing a finger on my lips. "You're gonna make this hard for yourself, Kemi. So relax, and don't say a word." I purse my lips which tremble in fear. Is he going to force himself on me? His lips meet the skin of my neck and my body freezes in panic and fear. He leaves wet kisses along my skin until he reaches my earlobe which he bites roughly and I jump in shock and pain. Tears have already started to soak up my cheek. He stops biting my earlobe and starts sucking on it, instead of pleasure, I could feel only disgust and frustration. I'm in a dark room where I can't see a thing and a stranger is touching and kissing my body as he likes. While I stand there trembling, his hands roams around my body and just couldn't take it any longer. I start to struggle again and this time harder trying to push him off. He groans loudly in annoyance and finally lets me go. From his voice, I can tell he's pissed. "F**king bitch!" He screams at me. I'm trying to be f**king gentle with you but you're just pissing me off! Do you want this the hard way?" He growls at me. I didn't say anything but simply cries looking down as I hug myself with my arms. Suddenly the light comes on but I couldn't raise my head, ľ'm still in shock of what just happened. "You asked what you needed to do. Well can't you see this is it?" His voice startles me back to reality and I raise my head to see him looking at me. Taking a proper look at him, he should be 6'1" tall and is... I hate to say but he is good looking. He doesn't even deserve such good features. "Is this how I'm paying for the dept.? Can't....Can't I do anything else?" "You're not in any position to ask me that darling, just accept whatever comes your way.' He walks away from me to a sit on the couch beside the king-size bed in the middle of the large room. He takes a lighter and a box ofbcigarettes from the table in front of him and starts smoking. His eyes are on me as smoke curls out of his mouth. I look away from him and focus my eyes onn the floor. I hear his footsteps approach me and move backwards to get away from me but my back hits the wall. Before I could move away, he reaches to me and presses his hand against the wall next to my head, making me jump a  little. His face is only inches away from mine "Like you said, you're here to pay for your father's dept. This is how you pay for it, I get to do whatever I want, whenever I want with you and you just have to oblige, understood?" I didn't say anything but keeps looking at the floor. He takes my chin in his hands and forces me to lift up my head and look at him. "I have always wanted you Kemi..." He leans closer to me and whispers in my ears. "I Wanted to abduct you at first but your father made it easier for me by gambling with my brother." He frowns before he continues. "Although, I wouldn't have been able to keep your father alive that day because my brother isn't the type to have second thoughts when he makes a decision; but luckily, I was able to convince him." He smirks. Wait, he had always wanted me? Does that mean he had been stalking me? "I have been watching you for quite some time now. The first timeI saw you were at a restaurant at Ajegunle, you were working as a waitress there. I had gone there for some reasons and sawbyou, since then, I knew I had to have you." He smiles. I stare at him as different emotions runs through me. Angry that my father had to be the cause of this and irritated that this strangers thinks he owns me. "You just want someone, and you get them? What am I, a toy you can play with? Who do you think you are to toy with my life like this? You are nothing but a useless saddened monster!" And that does it, he drags me from the wall heading for the bed and I start kicking and screaming desperately. He roughly pulls my hair and turns to me. God, it hurts like hell. Why does my hair have to be so long? "Shut that tramp of yours and kindly cooperate if you don't wanna get hurt, you hear me?" Me? Shut up? Not Kemi. I scream as loud as I can, "Leave me! Let me go you... I didn't even see him raise his hand. I only feel the strong impact on my left cheek. It destabilizes me and sends me falling on the bed unhinging me. My left ear throbs and I can taste blood inside my mouth. He moves on top of me starts tearing off my clothes but I still manage to struggle with him. As he raises his hand to hit me again, his phone rings and he stops. He moves off from me and takes out his phone from his pocket. "Yes, George? Speak. After listening to the person at the other end of the call, he clenches he fist. "I am busy with something right now!" He clenches his fist tighter as he listens to the person speak. "Fine, I am coming now." He says before taking the phone from his ear. He growls and angrily throws the phone on the floor causing it to crack. "F*k! The f**king brother of mine! Who does he think he is to order me around? He curses loudly before turning back to me. He points at me, "You better f**king stay in here and don't do anything stupid, don't even make a noise or I wll kill you." He grabs a jacket from the couch and stomps out of the room. I lay on the bed as tears slides through the corner of my eyes. I wrap my arms across my chest and cries deeply. This is it, the sacrifice I choose to make. Do I even have the right to cry? Xoxo
