My Madam And I - S01 E140

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 140

I stayed at Esther’s place, eating, sleeping, watching movies and working out. Within two weeks i was back to my normal shape again, my clothes fit normal, but i wasn’t really happy cause i was in a kind of prison restricted to the house alone.

In the news i heard a different thing. They said the rebellion group kidnapped most of the prisoners which was very not true. Anyways, at least they didn’t mention our escape, but i couldn’t bring myself to step out.

Esther on the other hand never mentioned anything about the job, we lived like siblings. Twice the two weeks she brought in a very young guy she should be 9 years older than for sex, and another time, a girl. She would scream so loud anyone few distance away from the house could hear her voice.Everything was fine as long as i didn’t intrude into her private life. She never spoke about the sex and i didn’t bother to talk about it either. We acted as if nothing happened, even when the girl she brought in walked into the sitting room Unclad to get water from the dispenser while i was watching the TV. I stumbled into the guy in the kitchen, he greeted me and took food for himself, yet i acted as if they never existed.

We got along pretty well, until one day, while i was asleep i heard voices talking in a low tone. I slowly wen’t to the sitting room and eavesdrop to their conversation. Esther was overly pissed with one of the guys and he was begging as if he was going to die. I tried to listen at least to grasp something, but the more i did all i could hear was unclear murmuring. I then decided to lean on the door, unfortunately it gave way and i fell into the sitting room.

The guys stood up abruptly, they were some heavily built guys. I stood up to meet their ominous faces, Esther was just looking at me with anger laden in her eyes.

“who’s this?”. The very huge one with fat tummy asked.

I greeted them coz i really don’t know what to say.

“who’s this!”. The man yelled, looking at Esther.

“My boyfriend”. Esther said in a low tone.

“Sleeky! you know the rules! no one is supposed to be here when we come in!”. The man yelled even more at Esther.

“am sorry Rugged, he is my intern. I was going to bring that up after we were done with shark”. Esther said.

The man looked at me angrily and ordered me over. I went to him avoiding his piercing eyes.

“what’s your name boy”. He asked.

“Mike”. i replied.

“how much did you hear?”. He asked calmly.

“hear? i don’t get”. i asked taking a glance at his red eyes and taking my eye away immediately, when i met his bloodshot eyes.

“are you mad? do i look like a joker to you?”. He said in same calm tone.

No one told what he meant and i said.

“I did not hear anything”. i said.

He turned to Esther and said.

“This boy is bloody liar! is this who you want to recruit? We trying to deal with Shark and you are bringing another Shark?”.

“Then get it out of him then. I told you Rugged that he is still an intern, if that will satisfy you, get the truth out of him”. Esther said and went to sit at the dinning.

The man looked at her walk away, and when she was seated, he turned his attention to me and asked again.

“how much did you hear?”.

“I heard nothing”. I said feeling odd at what’s coming to me.

The man looked at the heavily built guys standing behind him and the swung into action. I moved backwards but they were fast to grip my arms and dragged me to the couch, held me down. I tried to push may way through, but these guys where two times my size each of them. They held my head out of the chair while my body laid on. One went into the house and came out with a bucket of water and piece of clothe.

“You people should not mess my chair up, i can’t start carrying out here”. Esther yelled from where she sat.

They ignored her and held me down. One placed the clothe over my face and the bucket under me as one took a cup and poured on the my face that was held steady with the clothe over it. I struggled to breathe, taking in water each time i tried and many rushed into my mouth as well. I chocked and felt like i was going to die. And then they removed it and i coughed out water, gasping for air.

When i was done and was breathing okay, the man said again.

‘How much did you hear?”.

“I swear, you guys where murmuring, i could barely hear anything, believe me please”. I begged trying hard to convince him i heard nothing.

When i turned towards Esther, i saw her burying her face in disappointment or shame. I felt i was going through drilling to check my capacity, and so i frowned my face, looked into the man’s eyes and said.

“Go ahead and kill me, if that’s going to make you happy”. And i spat on the floor and looked him into his eyes again steadily.

The man smiled and nodded they should go ahead with the torture. They continued and this time, wasted a little more time for me to almost pass out before they removed it. I had never seen anything like it before, it was like hell and back.

Esther was standing beside me the third time whispering something to the man. He looked at her and asked them to go one more time. This time i felt couldn’t take it, i wanted to tell them what they wanted to hear so they could let me go, but somehow i refused to bulge. Instead i turned my frustration into anger and said.

“Is this all you gat? you fat fool! is this all you gat?”.

The man seemed impressed with my words as he smiled. And then he said.

“If you wanna give up, just raise two of your fingers and we’ll let you go”. Then he ordered them to go again.

This time i almost broke out in tears, but i stayed positive, took in some air and exhaled, took in another before they pushed me down and covered my face with water poring on it. This time they refused to stop. I could hear Esther saying.

”Rugged stop this! don’t leave a dead body in my house oh, Rugged stop this, you’re going to kill him”.

Soon i passed out, to wake up on the couch with the men and Esther talking distinctively some distance from me. Esther was the one who saw me first, she moved her head to the others towards my direction and they all smiled to me. I slowly sat up and found Rugged eating at the dinning. He looked at me with his mouth full and said laughing.

“you’re up already sleepy head. Your girlfriend thought you were dead”.

My nose hurt, and my head ached from taking lots of water. Still felt slightly dizzy, so i rested my back on the backrest and silently looked at them as they were all happy to see me up.

Esther walked to me and sat beside me smiling looking at me. Then she whispered into my ear.

‘You almost disappointing me, but you didn’t after-all”. She stood up and wen’t into the house smiling.

Rugged rounded up with his meal and walked towards me.

“Boy, you seem tough”. Rugged said when he approached me and stood in front of me.

Then he sat beside me smiling and asked.

“You were scared right?”.

“Everyone will die someday”. i said.

He smiled and said to me.

‘I like you, you’re a material. Now tell me”. Rugged said, moving closer to me. “what did you hear? it’s okay, we’re one now. Just tell me”.

I looked at him surprised, he smiled and nodded. Then i said.

“To be frank with you, I was telling the truth earlier. I tried to listen but heard nothing. Even if i did, i’ll rather die than say i heard anything. Just to be clear, i heard nothing”.

Rugged studied me in silence for close to a minute, like he was in a deep thought, all of a sudden he exploded in a loud laughter and said aloud tapping me on the shoulder that shook my whole body and increased the ache in head.

“i like this guy!”. He tapped me again and said, “Boy! where did Esther find you! This is what am talking about, a twist!”. He shouted and laughed happily.

Esther walked in and asked.

“why are you shouting?”.

“He just passed the second test”. Rugged said.

Esther looked at me and smiled proudly.

Wow, so that was a test? i said to myself. What if i heard something and opened up, that means i just failed? who are these guys and what do they want from me? i thought, as i watched them drink away the rest of the day.
