Tarasha - Season 7 - Episode 40

Tarasha heard a scream after the sounds of the gunshots. The picture of her mother flashed through her mind but she shook her head to wave it off. Her mother was safe with Henry and there was no need to bother about her, she thought. She proceeded to Elvis Richards, she wasn’t going to let anything stop his death.

She planned to stab him multiple times, at different parts of his body and leave him so disfigured to symbolize the lives of the several people who the man had left destroyed. She held her knife firmly as she got closer. She pulled him up by the collar and made his back lean against the guard rail. She was about to raise the knife when she heard her name.

‘No, Omotara. Don’t kill him,’ Madam Henrietta pleaded running forward with Henry following behind her. She stopped some distance away from Tarasha where she could see her clearly and also see Elvis Richards, she placed her hand on the guard rail for support as she leaned on it weakly.
Tarasha was shocked. She stared thinly at the woman as Henry joined beside her.
‘Henry, what are you doing? Why is she here?’ she asked, terribly mad at Henry.
Henry remained quiet.

Madam Henrietta was still shaky, her eyes were full of tears and her hand were trembling.

‘Omotara, you should not kill him.’ she managed to say. She swallowed in deeply. ‘He is your father,’ the words dropped out of her mouth one after the other.
Tarasha narrowed her gaze at her mother, wondering if she was talking in her right senses.

Elvis Richards also stared at madam Henrietta’s face wondering what she was talking about.

‘She is the result of what you did in Gabriel’s office twenty five years ago.’ Madam Henrietta said, breathing loudly and staring at Elvis Richards.

Lizzy walked carefully through the dead bodies on the ground, this particular cabin was stacked with carton of goods and the cartons were already stained with blood. Her eyes roamed about for a moment and she stared in shock as she saw Cole’s dead body staring at her. She rushed to where he was and knelt beside him.

Her hand became weak and the gun dropped. Tears rolled down her eyes as she placed her palm on his face to close his eyes. She felt like a failure. She had not recognized love when she found it, and she had even helped the enemies destroy the person whom she loved. She la!d on the ground weakly, her heart was totally shattered.

‘Mom, what are you talking about?’ Tarasha gave the woman a questioning look.
‘He is your father, Gabriel wasn’t your father, Elvis Richards raped me that day.’

FlashBack
Location: Solace Hotels.
‘I don’t want to hear any of your apologies anymore Chief Gab, I’m tired already.’ Madam Henrietta said. She wondered why Chief Gab kept on saying he had something to tell her. He had said it first before they were kidnapped and he kept on repeating it anytime they were alone.

‘Adunni,’ she Gab said and let out a breath. ‘I never raped you, I did not do it that day.’

Madam Henrietta looked at him with disbelieving eyes. ‘You liar, what do you stand to gain this time? I’m not asking you to accept the child any longer.’
‘No, you don’t understand. I truly did not rape you, I have never raped anyone in my life.’ Chief Gab insisted. ‘You yourself do not remember how it happened that day.’
Madam Henrietta seemed to consider his words for a moment. She truly did not remember how it happened that day. She had only opened her eyes to find blood stains on her skirt and realize that her virginity had been forcefully taken.

‘I drugged you that day,’ Chief Gab continued his narration in a regretful tone. ‘Elvis Richards previously gave me a liquid to use in drugging people. He said a little inhalation of the scent would get the victim fast asleep. I used the liquid on an handkerchief that day and covered your nose when it when you did not consent. But you fell like you were dead and I was scared. It was my first and only time of using it, I did not know how the victim was supposed to react. I called Elvis Richards and asked him to come immediately. He got to my office twenty minutes after and you were still sleeping. He laughed at me and encouraged me to go ahead with my plans of sleeping with you but I could not, I was too scared that something would happen to you if I did. He mocked me and decided to do it since I refused to. I hid in the toilet until he was through, feeling bad.’
Chief Gab paused and let out a sigh, a tear dropped off his eyes. When you came back with the pregnancy, i was scared again. I couldn’t say the truth because I was also guilty of the same crime as Elvis Richards. I had to reject it, I did not tell him it was what he did that resulted into your pregnancy because I knew how dangerous he was, he could have suggested that we kill you after you give birth and kidnap his baby.’ he paused and let out another deep breath. ‘I’m sorry for the pains I caused you, I’m truly sorry, I regret everything I did.’

Madam Henrietta stared thinly at him, shaking her head slowly and tears dropping freely from her eyes. The pains and shame caused by their actions had not eft her mind completely.

She wondered what sought of evil man Elvis Richards was. The man knew he once raped her and acted like a saint to her years after when they get again. He had a casual sex relationship with her and during those times pained Chief Gab as the evil man.
