Christy’s POV
By the ti we arrived at the villa where Evan’s parents were being held, Mason was already waiting for us.
"Why did you bring her along?" Mason asked Kendrick with a frown when he saw getting down from the car.
"And why can’t I be here brother?" I asked him directly without waiting for Kendrick to speak.
It’s ti I confronted them all at once and end this cycle of locking up in a golden cage all in the na of protection.
"Baby sis relax, you know big bro is only looking out for your safety" Kelvin said from the side.
I hadn’t noticed his presence until he spoke to .
"I am not a baby anymore, you all need to let do things for myself, stop showing how beautiful the world can be when I am well aware of how rotten it’s core is.
What if a day cos when you are not around to protect ?...."
"Such a day will never co" Kendrick interrupted with a frown.
"No matter how you try to deny it, the truth is that everything is not in your control. Take everything that has been happening for an example.
None of you ever predicted such a vicious cycle of trouble and it is understandable because you are humans as well" I said to them with a serious attitude.
"I just wanted to keep you safe, I can’t risk losing you again" Mason said with a slightly emotional tone and I felt a sharp tightness in my chest.
He hardly ever shows his emotions, so I felt touched that his care for was so deep.
"I am sorry for making you feel that way and for everything else"Kendrick suddenly apologized and I was too stunned to respond.
"Okay that’s enough now, the old couple have woken up and they won’t stop quarreling and insulting each other.
It’s surprising that they got married despite hating each other so much" Kelvin said with an irritated expression.
We all went into the villa and as we walked down the hallway, we could hear their shouts loud and clear.
"I hope they kill you, so I can finally have so peace!" the woman shouted angrily.
"Who are you cursing to die?! Watch how I beat you senseless!" the man yelled then we heard movents.
"Ahhhh... Let go of my hair, you slly old fart!"
"watch how I knock out your teeth! Let’s see if any man will want to patronize your whore business ever again"
When we arrived at the door of the room they were in, we saw them pulling and dragging each other.
They couldn’t leave the room because of the guards at the door, so they decided to pour their frustrations on each other.
"Separate them" Mason ordered one of the guards and he quickly pulled them apart.
That was when they noticed our presence. The woman glared at us while the man just looked away.
"Don’t you feel any sha... Today was your son’s funeral" I asked her angrily and she hissed.
We entered the room and a guard brought three chairs for Kendrick, Mason and I while Kelvin stood watched from the door.
"How did you find out about the funeral?" Kendrick asked them.
"My custor told about it," the woman said with a nonchalant attitude.
"How long have you known this custor of yours?" Kendrick asked and the woman frowned at him.
"What kind of question is that? Am I supposed to keep the dates or years that I have known my custors in my head? Do you know how many custors I get in a day?" she asked with a smug smile.
The way she says it, one would think she actually does an honorable job or sothing.
"Please have so sha" I said to her with a disgusted tone.
"Oh please, you will never understand the thrill of having different n beg for your body" she bragged and I felt like throwing up on her face.
Could there be anyone in the world that’s more shaless than this woman?.
"So this custor of yours, told you about the funeral and also gave you half a million as fee for your service? Or was the money for sothing else" As soon as Mason asked this, her face imdiately turned pale and white.
"What? Half a million?... You old hag, you have half a million and I never heard anything about it" the man who has been quiet all along imdiately lunged at her again.
"Leave ... What... What concerns you with my money?!" she yelled as he pulled her hair again.
"That’s enough, don’t force to tie you up!" Kelvin yelled as he pulled the man back.
"If you weren’t so useless, would I have to sleep with other n for money? You fool!" the woman yelled while massaging her aching head.
"Answer my question" Mason said to her with a frown and she trembled in fear.
"He was a first ti custor but he didn’t touch ...."She stuttered.
"Oh please... Co up with a different lie!" the man interrupted her with a mocking laugh.
"Gag him"Kendrick instructed one of the guards and the man’s mouth was imdiately stuffed with a cloth.
The woman seed to enjoy seeing him in such a miserable condition and I couldn’t just understand... Their relationship makes no sense.
"How did you two end up together?" I couldn’t stop myself from asking her.
"He was the demon sent to ruin my life... I regret ever eting him" she glared in the direction of the man.
"I started this business very young, my mother was also in the sa line of business.
On the unfortunate day that I t him, he had co to drink at our club and I offered to entertain him and he booked for the night. Our club provided condoms to protect us and he was given one.
Who would have thought that this despicable man poked holes in the condom and I ended up pregnant.
My mother was not happy but when he ca to ask for my hand in marriage, we were all excited.
He lied to us that he was an heir to a multimillion corporation and I will have a good life in the capital.
We had a simple marriage and I moved here with him. That was when I found out that he had been lying all along.
His family were poor and only had a pork slaughterhouse to their na, his father threatened to give the slaughterhouse to his nephew if he didn’t marry and give him a grandchild.
His family were nice at first then a month later, they revealed their true colors, I would go the entire day without food despite being pregnant.
I could have easily gone back to my job if I wasn’t pregnant and I couldn’t abort the baby either as the doctor said it would be dangerous, so ..."
"So you started hating the baby because he held you back?" I asked her with a frown.
"Yes! Not just because he held back but because he had the blood of this animal flowing through him" she yelled while pointing at the man,who looked like he wasn’t the person in question.
"So you returned to your business after giving birth to him? What happened to the slaughterhouse?" I asked the man but his mouth was still gagged so I turned to the woman instead.
"He sold it and squandered the money on his secret lover but when the money finished, she eloped to another city with her other custor" she answered with a mocking smile while staring at the man, who was now glaring at her.
What a useless man?
He decided to dedicate his life to drinking and gambling without having any plans for his child and the mother was no good either.
Evans must have suffered a lot.
"Don’t you feel regretful about how you treated Evans?" I asked her and she turned her face away like she was holding back her tears.
"The custor that gave you money and the information is part of those responsible for his death. They wanted you to co make a scene at the funeral to ruin our reputations" Kendrick said after being silent ever since.
"I always felt guilty whenever I saw him, that’s why I always drove him away. There is too much that I couldn’t make up for and I had no hope of him ever forgiving .
I was a terrible mother, all I ever gave him... UhUhhh... My... My little sweet boy, he was always so smart but when I found out that one of my custors had introduced him to drugs, I was too angry and threw him out.
Why did I do that? I could have hugged him all the tis he asked for a hug but I felt unclean.
Then when he ca all sober and clear headed, I was ecstatic and hoped he could have the life we couldn’t have but what did he do instead?... He died! He left here forever to continue living in regret and wishing I had been a good mother" She finally broke down and I couldn’t hold my tears back as well.
I looked at the man and noticed his eyes were red as well. There is no dicine for regret, so they will have to live with this guilt forever.
We gave her a few minutes to settle down and she slowly wiped her tears.
"The man wore gold rimd glasses and has a scar slightly above his left ear..." she tried to describe the man.
"Does he have a mole under his right eye?" Kendrick asked and she imdiately nodded.
"It’s Harold," he said with a frown.
" Your Grandpa’s personal assistant? Isn’t he on our side?" I frowned as I rembered the man.
"He said he wanted revenge because my grandfather killed his family, I think he is after the entire Black family, not just my grandfather" Kendrick explained with a tense expression.
