Episode 44
Inside the journal, he also wrote about meeting Cassandra again after so many years. He wrote about his feelings for her and how he was tempted to run away back to his family because then he would have a chance to pursue his feelings for Cassandra. One day, he had slept off while writing in the journal, and Stone had found it. He spent the night reading about Dayo’s thoughts which he had written in the book. He took Dayo’s phone and went to his Facebook messages, he saw the ones he exchanged with Cassandra, and then he typed one final message to Cassandra before blocking her. The message read “I am sorry but I have no use for your type, it was boring chatting with you, all you do is whine about your boyfriend. Do you even have a boyfriend, or you just want to make me ask you out? That is not happening because I have got a girlfriend and you are not in her league”
The next morning, Stone had the housekeeper make breakfast for them and then he called Dayo to the dining table. It was the first time they were eating together; the dining area was rarely used as everyone ate in their rooms. But today, he had something important to tell Dayo.
Stone: “I saw all you wrote in your journal” he said and watched Dayo’s face contort in anger.
Dayo: “That was personal, I do not invade your privacy, respect mine” he quipped.
Stone: “As long as you are in my house, you have no privacy” he said calmly, turning the pancake in his plate around, with his fork.
Dayo: “Then let me go” he fired back.
Stone: “After everything I have done for you, you have a future because of me. What chances would you have had doing Alabaru?”
Dayo: “I am sorry” he said contritely.
Stone: “You violated my instructions, I told you never to have contact with anyone from your past, but you did. Final warning, I don’t want to find out you have any contacts with Cassandra or any other person from your past” he said, this time his eyes were hard.
Dayo: “She did not know it was me, I am not doing anything to jeopardize your safety” he entreated, Cassandra was the only link to his past and he needed that, to be sure he had not lost himself.
Stone: “Our safety, remember that you are also a wanted person.
Don’t forget” he replied and pushed the food away.
“The only thing I remember is my mother’s dream. You forced me, it was that or my life, I can still explain to the police. Now more than ever, I have to attempt an escape from Stone” He mused as he watched Stone go up the stairs.
Dayo settled down to his food, and ate slowly, enjoying every bite. Now, he had decided to escape, he felt free and peaceful. He realized that Cassandra had been the motivation to escape.
Tomorrow he would attempt an escape from Stone. He had saved up some money, not knowing why he needed to, but now it would come handy. For the moment he left Stone’s grip, he was fleeing to Lagos and to the arms of his fathers, Gberan and Damilola. He had forgiven his father because it was the only way for him to be happy. He never judged people for their actions, only God had that right, his daddy Gberan had told him so.
Question: Would Dayo succeed in escaping the bondage of Stone and the gang, or would he be stopped?
