Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 17

Lex looked at Chuks. Over the days, he had gotten over Ann’s disappearance, not that he still didnt search for her, he did but he was more cheerful than he was when Ann disappeared earlier.

‘i wonder the look on Tommy’s face when he found out about the warehouse destruction, the look on his face must have been priceless’ Lex said laughing silently.
Chuks smiled ‘so whats the next step??’
‘next step??’ Lex said placing his hand under his chin ‘well, the next step…..lets just keep our cool for sometime and study them. Our next strike shall be on Eliboards’
‘Eliboards?? Why??’
‘Tommy Anderson foolishly threatened Chief Eli Jacobs, the CEO of Eliboards, so if anything bad should happen to the company, Tommy Anderson will be held responsible. Knowing how ruthless Chief Eli is, he would not spare Tommy Anderson’ Lex winked ‘and Chief Eli has the connections, everything needed to bring Tommy Anderson down’
Chuks nodded ‘thats a brillian plan, Lex. As usual’

‘my dear,’ Jovita said stepping into the room ‘dinner is served’
‘oh, okay’ Ann replied shyly.
She couldnt believe it. She couldnt believe that she would actually see her parents again, and not only that, reconcile with them. When she had woken up at the hospital beside her, she had been so shocked, she fainted again.
They told her how they relocated to Asaba and planned buying an uncompleted building for the church and they found her lying unconcious in the building. They had all cried and hugged.

Her mother had wanted to know all that her daughter went through, why she ran away from home ten years ago, how she ended up at the uncompleted building unclad, what had been going on in her life since she left, everything.

But she had remained tightlipped about everything. She couldnt bring herself to tell her family all the things she had done, all the foolish sacrifices she had made in the past ten years, the drug and sex addiction, she couldnt.

Her younger siblings had come to visit her and went back to Maiduguri where they were based. They too had wanted to hear everything but she didnt mention a word to them.

She knew her mother was trying her best to be patient with her and it was only a matter of time before she exploded.

‘Anna dear,’ her mother called softly sitting beside her on the bed, rubbing her hair lovingly ‘why dont you feel comfortable around me any longer? We are not close as before anymore. What changed? I’ve noticed you always feel nervous whenever i or your father around you. You werent like this before, you were free with everybody. Jeff even called, he said he called you last week and you were talking to him as if he was a stranger. He said something about you is changed, and something about you has really changed. Do you mind sharing it with mama? She could help you’
Ann forced a nervous smile ‘there’s….there’s nothing mummy, nothing really. You and Jeff are just overreacting. Nothing’s changed about me. I’m…i’m…just nervous around you guys because…..you know, its been long, so many things have changed in all this years. You dont expect me to just be the way i was ten years ago’
Ma’am Jovita smiled knowingly. It was ten years already but she knew her daughter very well. She was hiding something, she was sure of that and whatever it was, she was going to find out, by crook or by hook.

‘are you sure??’
‘yes mummy, i’m sure. I’ll….i’ll call Jeff later in the day and let him know that he’s just paranoid, nothing’s wrong with me’
Jovita smiled and hugged her daughter. Ann sounded convincing but she wasnt convinced. Something was wrong with her daughter. Most times, when Ann was asleep she would sneak into the room and those times she usually heard Ann whispering in her dreams, and it was just one name…….Lex.

Whoever Lex was, she was going to discover him.
