The Unsuspecting Saviour

The value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question. But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.

WHAT”!………. He exclaimed.

Mike saw his girlfriend being kissed, cuddled and fondled by another guy. Cassandra seemed to resist the guy but she was quite indecisive. He was surprised Cassandra could betray him by dating another guy behind his back. Quickly, he turned his back to leave. Cassandra saw him leaving. She called him loudly,”Mike, STOP!! I can explain.”

Before she could finish saying her words, he had already left the house.

“Who the hell is that?” Morrison asked her quite angrily.

Cassandra smiled and say, ” My real Boyfriend.”

Morrison was amazed. He stood up and left the room. He reported the incident to Cassandra’s father Benjamin who was in the adjacent room. He was angry with Cassandra and asked her, “what have you told Morrison?”

She answered, “the truth”. I told you I don’t love Morrison and no matter how much I tried to, it’s not gonna work.”

Morrison is a CEO of an advert film based in California , a western U.S. state.

A week ago, Benjamin called his daughter and told her he had gotten a man for her who was ten times better than Mike. She wasn’t happy with it because she loved Mike but her father never wanted her around any poor boy like Mike.

She knew he won’t support her relationship with Mike.

On that fateful day, Cassandra returned from work only to see her Father and Morrison waiting for her. After the formal introduction, her father told Morrison that her daughter was ready to go on a date with her, which was a lie.

He excused them and left to God-knows- where. Morrison followed her into her room. she didn’t want to embarrass her father so she allowed him.

Without wasting much time, Cassandra felt his hands caressing her arms. Somehow she wanted to be polite so she didn’t resist him. Soon she felt his soft lips on hers then he cuddled and fondled her. It was at that point that she wanted to push him off and tell him she’s in love with someone else that Mike came in and saw them.

[ Mike’s Point Of View ]

I was on my way going back to Delta state after catching Cassandra and her boyfriend when a car’s horn honked behind me. I turned just in time to see the owner. It was Cassandra.

“Get in,let me drive you home ,”he said.

My face was teary when I asked her,”Cassandra, why are you cheating on me?”

“It’s my father masterplan. He wanted to impose that man on me because he’s rich and ………..”

“And I’m poor, ” I completed the sentence for her.

She was quiet. Then she said. ” I have brought you your bag. Since you get an accommodation in your new workplace, I think you should carry your bag along. If its in my room, my father would burn it.”

“Cassandra! Are you finally sacking me from your house?” I asked her angrily.

“No, Mike. I can’t do that. I just want you to be S_____.”

He couldn’t finished her sentence before a Ferrari suddenly zoomed on us. Cassandra’s father with two muscled men came out of their car and push me down. They pounced on me.

Cassandra came out from her car begging her father to show mercy on me but one of the macho men carried her and sent her back to her car amidst her pleas and cries.

Cassandra’s father said, “BEAT HIM WELL. YOU SCALLYWAG. LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE IF YOU VALUE YOUR POOR WRETCHED LIFE. IDIOT.”

Benjamin left with Cassandra in her car. He told the thugs to meet him after the operation.

The macho men were half way through with beating me when the police arrived on the scene.

The thugs entered Benjamin’s Ferrari and sped off. I was left for dead.

Luck smiled on me. I didn’t know how she arrived there but she was the one who saved me from the throes of death, I was talking of Sheila.

{Third Person Viewpoint }

When Sheila left Mike at the Junction, she didn’t like the way he was moody before leaving her car.

After a few minutes of contemplation, an idea occurred to her. “Why can’t she tail the Taxi Mike had taken to ascertain he was actually going to where he claimed to be going. She was relieved when she saw him entered Cassandra’s house and came out promptly.

Then to her shock, he was attacked by a Ferrari after another Car stopped by him with a lady inside earlier. Having realised Mike was being hammered to the point of death she called the police emergency number and they arrived promptly to save Mike from Benjamin’s Thugs. She then send Mike to a private Clinic for medical treatment. Mike was lost of words at her show of magnanimity.

Sheila decided to find out more about Mike. She used the search engine to search for Mike’s father’s name and was surprised at what she found.

In a CEOWORLD magazine Bill Ebuka was the CEO of Skynet Internet Service provider. His

staggering worth in that year was 9.5 Billion USD making him the third richest man in Nigeria and 7th in Africa.

According to the magazine, Bill sadly died in a car accident under mysterious circumstances. His Wife was also raped and killed alongside his second son leaving behind only Mike Ebuka and Rosaline Ebuka.

Sheila was highly impressed. She now understand why Mike was sad when his parents were mentioned.

She never suspected his father was a Billionaire and he used to be a billionaire’s son. But if his father was really that rich,why was he doing the work of a houseboy there? She intended to find out.
