Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19
{Kicked Out}
Life, they say is a two sided coin, when
tossed up will favour one and will be against
another ,but their are some cases whereby
the two players are always favoured by the
result of a coin tossed.
Do you know that unlike movies where the
evil one are always exposed or are quickly
exposed, it doesn’t work like that in reality,
some evil people in reality are sometimes
lucky to eat their cake and still have it.
Thereby having the chance to take their
secrets to their grave
But not all eat their cakes and still
have it, but before those kind of people
secret get exposed, things would have gone
bad beyond repairing.
I didn’t know how yemi case was going be
but i knew if she wasn’t expose with the
ongoing investigation ,she will not be
getting expose anytime soon.
~~~~
After the long run , the DPO said my case will
be charged to court where i will be
prosecuted ,
then suddenly , the interrogation room’s
door opened and an officer entered ,he
saluted the DPO and reported that the
criminal that they apprehended has finally
confessed,
I didn’t know why but i suddenly got a bad
feeling about it instead of being happy
“that’s good, so did he pinpoint this young
man as one of his accomplice” the DPO
asked pointing at me and my heartbeat
skipped a beat.
All eyes inside the room focused on the
sergeant, he became the only vvip inside the
room as we were all anticipating what he
had stuck in his throat.
“he said they received order from someone
to kidnap and kill the girl but this young
man, here” he said pointing at me
“interrupted them and saved the girl killing
three of them in the process i.e. the three
corpse we retrieved from the forest, but” he
said and paused for a bit
” but what” the DPO asked losing his
patience,
“as he wanted to tell us who gave the
person who gave them the order, he started
coughing out blood and died” the sergeant
said with a sober tone.
” wonderful” i heard Joyce whispered but
others didn’t hear.
” do you have a record of his confession”
the DPO asked the sergeant after some
minutes of pin drop silences and the
sergeant replied yes.
“looks like your client’s innocence has being
proven
” the DPO said directing his gaze to Joyce
who received the gaze with a victory smile.
I looked at tabitha and Ranking with a
bloodshot look and they brought their head
down with shame.
“i’m very sorry, i didn’t know what suddenly
took over me that made me to falsely accuse
you” tabitha said with a sober tone and all
gaze except mine directed at her in surprise.
“what do you mean by falsely accusing
him”? Ranking asked her in a surprise tone
” the truth was that he was the one who
saved me from the assassins but it was just
like I’ve been brainwashed or spelled to
forget it and see him as a threat ,but i
suddenly seemed to remember everything
now” she said with tears dripping from her
eye and i felt sorry towards her, that was
when i was sure that it was the supreme
one’s handiwork and not the girl’s fault.
“shit” Ranking exclaimed using the
handkerchief in his hand to wipe the sweat
that started appearing on his face
” what are we going to do now” he asked
no one in particular.
“nothing much” Joyce replied
” all you just have to do is compensate my
client for slander and accusing him wrongly
,and you’ll also inform the reporters that
you’re sorry for falsely accusing him or else
I’m going to sue you and your daughter to
court” she added with a serious tone that
doesn’t seem like her.
“let them be” i told Joyce and she looked at
me with “what tha hell” gaze.
” let just go home, it ain’t their fault” i added
and i could see that Joyce was very angry
with my decision.
” can you leave us for a bit, i think i need
discuss somethings with my client in
private”
The DPO looked at Ranking and Ranking
shook his head to signify to him that
they should leave.
When you’re guilty of something,their will
always be a change in the way you do
things unlike when you’re innocent of it.
Ranking was very humble now, even his
walking was saying it, the gaze that was
sharp before like a sword was now dull.
I knew he was afraid of facing the press,
acknowledging that he and his daughter
had accused and got me arrested wrongly, it
will be a smear on his personality as it will
derive criticizingfrom the public.
He will be painted as a tyrant and i knew
him well to Know that ,that’s one of the
thing he feared most.
“are you stupid” Joyce screamed at me as
soon as they left the room.
” how can you decide to let them be after
what they did to you, is it that you’re just
stupid or you have something to do with
the kidnapping” she added screaming at me
” what do you mean by me having
something to do with the kidnapping” i
screamed back at her angrily”
” what you’re doing is like telling them that
you’re lucky to escape them, if not,you’ll
even demand an apology from them”
she added irritated
” okay, anything you like you say against me
but I’m not pressing any charge against
them and I’m not going to demand for any
apology except if they give it willingly” i said
to her and she stood up angrily.
” I’m not taking you back to my house if you
are keen on letting them go without having
to prove to the public that you were accused
wrongly” she said in a serious tone and got
out of the interrogation room slamming the
door as i embedded my head into my palm,
she placed me in a hard position,
” where would i stay if she kick me out”? I
asked myself rhetorically as my mind was in
disarray.
But i couldn’t do what she wanted Me to do,
not when i was now sure that it was the
supreme one’s handiwork.
” maybe it was also the supreme one’s plan
to have her kick me out of her house ” i
assured myself blankly in order to give
myself some false hope.
After some minutes of deliberation by
myself, i stood up and opened the door of
the interrogation room to get out, i saw
Joyce standing in front of the door, i
thought she was also about to open it and
come inside before i first her to it.
We both stood their looking at ourselves
waiting for the first person who is going to
speak.
” why do you want me to press charge
against them” i asked her in order to know
her reason for insisting on it.
” I can’t bear to see them treat you this way
and get away with it, my heart and mind
was chattered when i saw you in the news,
that you’re been accused of kidnapping, i
can say it confidently that you’re the cutest
and most handsome man on earth and that
kind of treatment against you is uncalled for
,you’re supposed to be treated like a kind
and not a criminal, and I can’t stand it to
have my future son inlaw treated this way
without clearing the shit from the public
mind” she enunciated and i was surprised
with her last statement tho i shouldn’t be
but i couldn’t help myself but be.
” and why did you think me as your future
son inlaw”? I asked her stupidly when i
didn’t find a soothing reply to give her
” i don’t think miss Efe is fond of me ” i
added
” she’s very fond of you, i knew it but she
didn’t want to show it because she hasn’t
gotten over the betrayal she felt from her
former guy and even if she doesn’t want
you,a i knew Peace will prefer having you as
her husband than all the properties her
father left for her” she replied me with a
tone and look that depict that she was
serious with her reply.
” but i don’t have any feelings for her or
miss Efe” i said in almost a whisper
” you don’t need to do now, when you stay
with each other for some time, feelings will
started growing automatically ” she replied
holding my two hands
” but i am not going to press the charge and
i don’t think any feeling is going to grow”
” is it because of that girl”? She asked with a
serious tone and i didn’t reply her
” you’ve been charmed by her beauty, that
was why you’re reluctant to press the
charge you ingrate” she screamed at me
releasing my hand.
She stormed towards the door of the
interrogation room and suddenly stopped
when she was about to get out and turned
to look at me
” but her beauty doesn’t deserve you, you’re
too pretty for her, you can follow me in my
car to get your belongings from my house,
that i can do for you ” she said and stormed
out of the room.
The journey to her house was done in pin
drop silence, Peace was also silent, she
couldn’t say anything when her mom had
screamed at her to keep shut when she was
pestering her to tell her what happened.
My mind reminisced into what happened in
the police station after everything had been
settled
” I’m very grateful for what you did for me
and i owe you for this and I’m also sorry”
Ranking said shaking my hand.
Tabitha hugged me deeply and whispered
into my ear that she was very sorry for what
she did, i would trade that hug for all the
days I’ve spent on earth, i was very happy
and didn’t want it to end. The DPO also
accolade me for my decision and apologized
to me for the foul treatment i received from
his officers.
As Joyce car drove into the big gate of her
house, i alighted and head straight to the
guest room and got my armour and sword
which i neatly wrapped with my white robe.
” what’s happening mom”? Peace asked
Joyce as see saw me came out with my little
belongings in my hand.
“Ben is leaving” Joyce replied her
” no mom, ask him to stay” Peace pleaded
with tears
“he’s already made up his mind and there’s
nothing i can do about it” she replied Peace
and left the sitting room heading to her
room
“please don’t leave, if it’s because of my
behavior towards you ,i promise that I’m
going to change ,i won’t pester or threaten
to kiss you again” Peace pleaded to me with
tears smearing her beautiful face.
I moved closer to her and embraced her
“thank you and I’ll miss you” i whispered
into her ear before disengaging the hug
and left her and head out of the sitting
room ,I heard Peace wailing and i pitied the
girl but there was i could do, as i was about
to open the gate, i heard peace called my
name and i stopped, she ran towards me
and hugged me
“i think I’m entitled to this” she whispered
to me as she stood on her toes in order to
be able to be of the same height with me
and looked deep into my eye before she
covered the gap between us and locked her
lip with mine.
She kissed me deeply exploring my mouth
with her tongue, i wanted to stop her but
couldn’t bring myself to do it.
I thought she was truly entitled to it.
She took her time kissing me like her life
depended on it and truth be told, i
responded a little to it.
After she’s kissed me to her satisfaction,ma
ybe for 20 minutes or more, she disengaged
the kiss, and bid me bye as she ran back
inside.
I felt weak after the kiss, it was like i lost
some strength at that moment but i still had
some left to trek.
And during the course of the walking ,i felt
the lost strength returning.
By the time i got to Ranking’s house, it was
already late.
My plan was to use the favor that he said he
owed me to tell me to give accommodation
in his house ,”but what if he didn’t grant
it,what will happen to me” i contemplated
within myself as i stood in front of the huge
gate of the house thinking if i should knock
it or not.
