Belina - S02 E27 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 27

That Wednesday seemed to
be the longest day of my
life. Everything had
happened all at once. I
hadn’t spent one minute
with Richard when he left. I
knew he wouldn’t let a man
die, no matter what the
person had done. I hadn’t
said anything when he
picked up his stethoscope
and headed out.

I had said the only thing that came to my mouth:

‘I love you
Richard, no one else but
you’. He had nodded and
left without turning back.
I placed my hand on my
belly, feeling the life
growing in me. I smiled and
maybe the baby wanted to
confirm his presence
because I had an instant
urge to throw up. I ran to
Richard’s office toilet and
emptied my tummy. I
started feeling dizzy and
nausea.

I lay on the couch, feeling
slightly light-headed. It
didn’t take long before I
slipped into the wonderful
comfort of sleep, forgetting
all the troubles around me.

Prisca watched closely as
Oyinade shifted
uncomfortably from one
foot to the other. She knew
that the lady before her
hadn’t seen her in the hotel
when she was dressed like
a w---e. She also hadn’t
looked at her face when
they bumped into each
other. She had been too
furious to even spare her a
glance. Prisca wondered
what her function was in
the hospital as she sat
down comfortably,
intimidating the young lady
with her presence.

“How can I help you
ma’am?” Oyinade asked,
gathering her shattered
confidence. She had heard
many things about the
woman who sat on the
chair, facing her. Her beauty
has been a subject of public
debate, just like Belina; and
having her sit in her office
should be a pleasure.

One other thing had been
publicly acknowledged
though: the fact that Prisca
ought to be a detective. She
could draw out the truth
from you with only a glance.
She shared almost the same
personality with Belina. One
thing is different though:
Belina could pretend that
she possessed no emotions
at all but you can play on
her emotions easily. You
only need to touch a
vulnerable part of her;
Richard to be precise, and
you have her in your grasp.

Prisca, on the other hand,
knows how to keep
emotions at bay and see
beyond the facial façade of
her opponent. She can be
very dangerous if she sets
out to be.

“Why don’t you sit down,
you look like you might fall
over anytime now” Prisca
said with a pleasant smile
playing on her face. Oyinade
wanted to pursue that
statement but decided
against it. She sat down on
her chair with charisma
which made Prisca laugh
out, leaving Oyinade
confused. Prisca sat the tag
on her suit.

“Oyinade right?” she asked
and Oyin nodded.

“Great. I
am sure you know who I
am but if not, I am Prisca
Williams. I would go
straight to the point and I
hope you would not waste
my time. What is your
mission in the hospital?”
Oyinade was taken aback.

“I
don’t know what you are
talking about” she said
feigning innocence.
Prisca smiled, stood up and
paced slowly.

“Nice try dear.
You know? it is not often
that I get to see harlots
occupying the post of a
doctor in a hospital as big
and highly organized as
BRH; care to tell me what
you are really doing here?”
Oyinade shot up.

“Are you
insulting me ma’am?” she
asked angrily, her veins
coming to view.
Prisca grinned.

“For once, I
thought you were totally
incapable of anger. To
answer your question, no. I
was merely asking a
question, but it seems I
struck a nerve, so tell me:
are you a harlot?”
Prisca sat
down back.

Oyinade was practically
foaming. “I am afraid I
would have to ask you to
leave ma’am. I would not
have you insult me in my
office” she growled.

Prisca got up again and
made for the door.

“Thanks
for cooperating with me
dear. The conversation you
had on the phone is so
inspiring. I am sure you
would like to explain to
your boss, why you hate his
wife so much” she said,
holding the doorknob.
Oyinade gasped.

“I… I d…
don’t understand”
“Oh… don’t stammer my
dear; it is not good for your
vocal cords. And don’t
worry, I am sure you would
understand when I play the
recording I have with me to
the hearing of your boss. I
have your voice recorded
dear, so it is not your word
against mine” Prisca said in
one breath, not for once,
taking away the pleasant
infuriating smile she had
on.

Oyinade was lost. She
couldn’t believe everything
was falling apart in one day.
She hadn’t even got one day
of complete victory.

“Please ma, I mean her no
harm. Please believe me”.
She said in a hurry,
stopping Prisca from
leaving.

“You want me to believe
you? Ok” she said, going
back to sit. She checked her
wristwatch.

“I have just ten
minutes. Spill it now and
think twice about lying to
me. Trust me; I have got a
mind’s eye”
