Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 20

Ann took a seat by her favourite spot. She winked at Chidera and he knew immediately what she would like. He soon came with a packet of cigarette, a bottle of hennessy and some ice.

‘hi’ he said smiling.
‘hi Chi, whats up?’
‘i’m fine. You look beautiful today, whats the secret?’

Ann laughed ‘is that a way of telling me that i’m usually not a beautiful lady?’
Chidera giggled ‘i didnt mean it that way. You know you are the most beautiful woman i’ve ever seen’

‘thanks….i’m blushing’
‘okay, enjoy yourself….i’m going back to the counter. If you need anything, just let me know’ he said turning back.
She held his hand ‘i need company. Cant you keep me company for a while?’
Chidera smiled ‘you know very well that i cant do that. If my boss finds out i’m out of the counter now, i’ll lose my job’
She nodded ‘i understand’
He smiled and walked away. She admired his firm behind and long legs. Not that Lex didnt have those though.

She missed him.

She didnt want to think of him but she couldnt help herself. She still loved him despite everything, no matter the things he did or said to her, her heart always fluttered whenever she thought of him, was it because they were meant to be together?

Her heart leaped in excitement at the thought of that. Didnt they say that relationships must pass through trials in order for it to become strong? Didnt they say that a relationship without misunderstandings is one filled with lies and deception?

Maybe this was the stormy period for them. Maybe this was the trial and challenge they have to pass through in order to become stronger.

She smiled as she gulped down a shot of hennesy. Why hadnt she thought of this since? She and Lex were meant to be together, this was the sign.

Her phone rang and she sighed. Why will this woman not just leave her alone? Why must she bug her every minute? Was she the only caring mother on earth?

She hesitated then picked it up dragging a long smoke from the cigarette in her hand, her fifth cigarette for the day.

‘hello mum’
‘Ann….where are you? Its past 8pm, you should come back home’
‘its just eight mum. I’ll be back before twelve’

‘what? Are you out of your mind Annabel? Have you forgotten our family rules and regulations? No one remains outside immediately it exceeds seven thirty’
‘but i’m an adult now’ God knew she was only trying her best to respect this woman of God called her mother. She was getting tipsy already and one more word from this woman, she could insult her.
‘whether adult or no adult. As far as you live in this house, you must adhere to those instructions, am i clear? Just because i’ve been leaving you to leave the house and come back anytime you like doesnt mean you should take it for granted. Am i understood?’
‘no, you are not’ Ann hissed and ended the call.

What nonsense! Who was this woman to dictate her life anyway? What gave her that right? Where was she when she was suffering ten years ago? Where was she when she went into prostitution in order to survive? She hissed again.

Her phone rang again….still from her mother but she ignored it. Not up to five minutes, her dad called, she knew the old gossip had gone to rattle nonsense in her father’s ears.
She smiled. They were both crazy if they thought they could control her. She was 26….she was old enough to make her own decisions for goodness sakes.
‘hello beautiful’

She looked up. A tall dark skinned guy stood beside her grinning like he just won the world. There was something familiar about him, she had definitely met him somewhere.
‘hello handsome’ she replied. He wasnt very handsome but she liked his physique. This type was very good in bed. She slapped herself mentally. She didnt want to think about sex now.
‘mind if i join you?’
‘i dont mind at all’ she found herself rubbing her thighs together. What was about this guy that suddenly made her h---y. Leaving the house that day, she had made up her mind not to sleep with any guy.
‘i know you from somewhere’ he said sitting beside her ‘i’m Peter anyways….Peter Martins’
Her head began to spin. Yes! Peter. Ciara’s fiance. The guy Lex had forced her to sleep with. Her boss’ son. Her boss.
What was he doing here? She really hoped he didnt recognise her. That would mean disaster.

She immediately stood up not forgetting to throw the remaining cigarette into her bag ‘sorry, i was about leaving. See you some other time, bye!’

‘wait up! Why are you leaving suddenly?’ he said trying to catch up with her.
She turned furiously ‘stay away from me!’ With that she stormed out of the bar.
She got into her car and drove off as quick as she could. She didnt know why she was running away but she wanted to stay as far as possible from her pasts.
She marched her brakes, but she wasnt fast enough. It happened.
