My Madam And I - S02 E07

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 7

We arrived Esther’s house. She was with some African men when I got in.

” baby! I’m sorry sorry “. She said emotionally, and came to hug me. After a little while, broke the hug scanning through me. ” are you hurt?”.

” no “. I said feeling embarrassed. She was treating me like a kid.

She fixed her gaze on my neck. ” son of gods! What’s this ? A knife bruise? This is serious”. Her finger running through where the assassin had placed the knife blade.

” it’s nothing!”. I said removing her hands and turning away. It was becoming too embarrassing. Even the men seated were now saying some degrading stuff in their thoughts like : How can this grown man be behaving like a kid? Esther has gotten herself a baby…

” let him be!”. Jaz said from behind. He just walked in with Sly. ” stop spoiling that boy”.

” he’s my love, how am i to survive if anything should happen to him?”. Esther replied, drawing me to her embrace.

D--n! My god! What could be as degrading as this?! She was literally pressing my head on her chest while kissing my head.

I immediately pulled from her grip and moved past her to the fridge to grabbed myself a bottle of beer.

” did you find out who it was that attacked him?”. Esther asked Sly who just got seated.

” boy! Get me a bottle!”. Jaz screamed at me.

I grabbed one from the fridge and tossed it to Jaz.

” no. But I think he should be kept on a watch. We don’t know who we are dealing with here”. Sly said adjusting himself in the armchair.

Esther turned to me. ” baby. You can stay here with me. At least for now. Won’t you love to stay with your sweet aunty?”.

I felt vexed. She just wont stop doing this! So i drank from the bottle to hide my hurt feelings.

“my job is my life. I can’t do without it”. I said .

” you have to understand baby, it’s your life on the line”. Esther said walking towards me.

Sly: Tell him. He’s just too stubborn.

Esther stood in front of me, placed her palm on my face looking into my eyes. ” I can’t stand it if anything should happen to you “.

Shit! I hate this mummy thingy with her! Don’t she know I fvck her mates?!

I looked away and drank again from the bottle.

My phone rang, drawing everyone’s attention to me. It was a strange number.

” who’s that?”. Esther asked curiously.

I shook my head and shrugged, then took the call. ” hello?”

” hello. Mike?”. A deep female voice asked.

” yes! Who’s this?”

” it’s Tasha”. The voice soften.

” oh! How are you doing madam?”.

” good. And you?”. Her voice seemed as though she was smiling.

” I’m fine”. I said, smiled and nodded at the eyes’ that were curiously boring holes on me. ” what do I owe this great call?”.

” I want you to get the papers for me”. Madam Tasha said.

” okay? What time?”. I asked fighting to hide my joy.

” 8pm. But not my office. I’ll send the address to you. And please… Don’t come with your boss. I want to have a special talk with you. That’s if you want the job though.”. She sounded coy.

What is she up to? I looked at Esther’s face, she was dying to know who it was. Then I turned away and continued. ” Yes! I want it. Text me the address”.

” I will. Have a nice rest then. See you tomorrow”. She said and hung up.

” what’s that about?”. Esther couldn’t wait for me to drop the phone before asking.

” a client. A deal we have been working on”. I said and held her hands. ” I can’t stay here! I need to land this job at all cost!”.

I was actually thinking of Daniella. I needed to keep my words that I will win her respect, but my hidden agenda is to eventually fvck her. She needs to know that I may be young but not as stupid as those men she controls.

Esther heaved.

Esther: I can’t let you put yourself in harms way all in the name of a job. Your dad was always in trouble but you’re not like him sweetie. Your dad could take care of himself and you can’t.

” I’m sorry darling. I can’t. I just can’t. Your dad…”

I flared up cutting her short. Why was everyone talking about my dad like he was a kind of hero and I’m a chicken? Each time I heard his praises I get jealous and want to hate him! They wouldn’t stop the nonsense!

” I’m tired of everyone treating me like a kid! I’m a grown man! A grown man!”. I was yelling, hitting my hand on my chest, looking Esther in the eyes.

Jaz stood up, walked to where I was, kicked my right leg and it slide off my left leg. I was thirty inches off the ground and ended up on my back on the floor.

Everyone turned to Jaz yelling at him especially Esther who rushed to help me up.

Jaz said walking to the fridge to grab himself a bottle of beer. ” he said he’s a man. Wanted to show him he isn’t”.

I slowly stood to my feet feeling stupider. Esther wanted to help me up but I refused. Pulling my hands from hers.

” I’m going to work tomorrow morning!” I said looking at Jaz who was busy gulping from his bottle. ” No one should try to stop me. I have made up my mind!”.

The place went silent. Everyone was looking at me as though I just did something extraordinary. I couldn’t stand their eyes on me anymore and so walked into the house.

Early the next day, I was dressed for work and came out of my room only to meet a strange fellow standing by the door. He was a Japanese man, about 6.5 , athletic built, in black Italian suit.

” who are you?”. I asked, eyeing the man nervously.

” I’m Michael Lee, your body guard”. He said in a clean English.

Michael Lee: I hate this job sometimes. I ought to watch the games later today with my buddies, now I have to follow this dude all over.

I was puzzled. ” a bodyguard? Who sent you?”.

” your aunty”. He said.

I heaved a sigh of relief and said to him. ” I need to see her “.

” she left early this morning, but left this for you”. Handing me a brown envelope.

I took it from him, opened it and found a bundle of cash and a car key. She won’t just stop treating me like a baby. I wanted to hand him back the envelope when i remembered I had no cash on me and my car was still at the cathedral.

” I will pay her back. This is a loan”. I said and started towards the stairs.

I and Michael drove to Anthony’s office. The secretary; Constance was so happy to see me. I noticed a brown YSL bag on her table.

She stood up abruptly and greeted me not even taken notice of the man behind me. ” good morning sir. How was your night?”. grinning widely.

Constance: Here he is! The guy I dreamt of all night.

” good! And yours?”. I asked smiling back.

” oh! It was splendid! Thank you so much sir. I got the bag you sent. It’s the exact bag I wanted to get. Your girlfriend is very lucky”. She said smiling.

Constance: What about the dinner? Please remember.

” is he in?”. I asked motioning towards Anthony’s door.

” oh yes! He just got in!” Then she lowered her tone, still smiling ” he seem to be in a good mood!”.

” ha! I see”. I said and sat down.

” did you call Mike?”. She asked.

” yes I did”.

She smiled and took up the phone receiver.

Constance: No wonder. I knew it! He’s not only a killer with the looks but with brains ( smiling ).

” hello Sir, Mike is here to see you… Okay sir”. She hung up and turned to me. “you can go in”.

I stood up. Michael stood with me. ” wait here”. I said to him.

He hesitated and then sat. I was about going in and Constance asked behind me.

” did you get my mail?”.

I smiled and nodded before going in.

The meeting with Anthony took a different turn. I heard everything in his thought. He and Mike were back together and he was entirely grateful to me. He owed me more than the job he agreed to sign. I was overjoyed. I couldn’t wait to tell Daniella and see the look on her face. Two difficult jobs in one day! Wow! I’m good!

I was headed back to the office with Michael sitting in the front seat with me. I was too happy and couldn’t stop smiling. In my briefcase was a document signed by the impenetrable Anthony Tree’s. I felt like I just worn a billion grand.

I was few distance away from my office complex, Michael suddenly began looking behind him. He took out a gun from under his belt and sat still with his eyes on the side mirror.

” what’s going on?” I asked feeling scared.

He didn’t answer me. His attention was on that side mirror on his side.

I looked at a red Toyota car with two men in front. I noticed both of them were in face caps. My heart jumped Into my mouth. I struggled to catch my breath as i fought to steady my hands. Could it be the assassin?

The car overtook towards my direction and a black guy in front turned to me with a gun in his hand. I saw half of his face. Oh my god! It was him!

He pointed to shoot with a smirk on his face. I tried to apply my break but instead pressed hard on the thrusting in fear, the car engine cried and the car sped ahead. The red car followed fiercely and caught up with us. The assassin was about to fire, I saw a gun pointed at me, my stomach rumbled, I just sat looking at it paralyzed. I felt Michael’s hand pushed me backwards and shot at the man. The red car slowed down and was now behind us.

I was panting. I just escaped death. It felt like I was going to faint. Michael was very apprehensive. He was holding the gun in his hand and never took his eyes from the side mirror.

A gunshot fired behind us and i bent over abruptly. Michael immediately opened the door on his side, bent over with his head pushed out and fired at the red car three times. The car rolled adjacent direction and ran into a grocery store.

” stop the car!”. Michael said hurriedly as he adjusted back into the car.

” what? What?”. I asked completely confused with fear.

” stop this car!”. Michael yelled impatiently looking behind.

I stopped in the middle of the road. Michael got off the car with the gun in his hands running circumspectly towards the red car.

I turned behind me looking at him as he bent behind the rear of the car. Then suddenly he fired twice, moved out of sight to the driver side, and I heard three gunshots.

I waited for Michael to come out. Pedestrians were now in a frenzy, yelling and running on different directions. I was scared, could he be dead? Could the assassin be coming after me?

Michael appeared on my right and scared the shit out of me. He got into the car, shut the door but his eyes was still on the side mirror.

” drive!” Michael said coldly.

I drove in silence until I was in the office complex and packed. My body was still shaking, I rested my head on the steering and was still too scared to speak a word. One thought keep crossing my mind. ” your dad wouldn’t be as chicken hearted as you are. Your dad is a hero and you’re a wimp! A mummy’s boy! A little feeble kid!”

” No! No! I’m not any of those! I’m not weak!” I said aloud and sat up.

Michael turned to me.

Michael: What is wrong with him? Is he okay? Why the hell is he even here? He ought to stay home! I recognized one of those guys. Those were the ghost. Deadly invisible people. This kid is in a deep shit! I cant deal with this.

Michael’s thought increased my fear. I turned to him and asked. ” The ghost? Who are they?”.

I could see the vivid shock on Michael’s face.

Michael: how the fvck did he know about the ghost?.

I realised my fault but couldn’t help myself from pressing.

” who are they?!”. I demanded.

” how did you know?”. Michael asked carefully.

” I know. Please tell me about them”. I asked.

Michael hesitated and then said. “They’re everywhere and anyone. It is better to know who you’re dealing with than not knowing who you’re dealing with. These guys are ghost, assassin cult. They have a tattoo on their wrist”.
