Ana almost fainted upon seeing Dave booming With smiles on his face...
"What? ain't I permitted to do so? ofcourse I'm...hahahaha..." Everyone leave I want to be alone with her."
"Yes sir..." everyone left.
"Waow Waow Waow, here comes our respectable Miss Ana David ha-ha he sat down beside her.... tears was already streaming down Ana's cheek she couldn't ulter a word, she only lowered her head...
Why not try saying something or you can try assaulting me again...haha.." he held her wrist up firmly...
"Ouch!! it hurts"...Dave eyes were already burning with fire he looks like he could choke her to death but he retrained his anger.
"Tell me How does it feel to be left alone in here for a couple of hours? are you already feeling the pains of being neglected?? you see no one came for you, absolutely no one, these is the true form of we humans ...he squizzed her wrist more till he was sure she was hurt... arrrrrgggghhh, please let go off me, it hurts.
Oh yeah it hurts right??? I tell you the pain you feeling now was nothing compared to the pains she passed through that year... I will tell you this is just the beginning, just don't try offending me because I will use it against you legally, I already made a promised to make you spend one night here nothing more, so you lucky he is my best friend"... he dropped her wrist and stood up to leave but she knelt down and held his leg from behind.
"Please help me"
"And Why should I?"
"You the only one that can help me"...she cried.
"Miss Ana do you think I can be swayed easily by you tactics? No... besides I won't be at ease if I don't see you sleeping and snoring comfortably in here, don't worry you just paying back some debt you owe another...he smiled and kicked her away, Ah Yes look at this place very well, it's a new hideout I made for you baby when you're in trouble you can come here for a relax"...hahahaha hahahaha... he laughed hard, giggled...and left. Ana cried, she glared at his back in anger, she couldn't do anything...she was under control... she cried her eyes out. Was she really gonna spend a night behind the bar? not her comfortable bed??? She dozed of while crying.
...
"Yes baby, I missed your call love, did you have dinner already?"
"Did boo go to the city to create some commotion?"
"No love, boyfriend only taught a disrespectful Aunty some lessons."
"Please be lenient boyfriend"
"Yes love."
"I am about eating my dinner, fried yam with scrambled egg."
"Eat well baby...eat well. Boyfriend loves you much."
"Eat well too boyfriend."
"Muah baby muah, see you tomorrow love can't wait to have you in my arms"... Angel ginggled...
"Muah later"..
Next morning.
Busy day at Dave's office.
"Boss she slept off yesterday night while crying."
"Hummm, great."
"But she had a lot of discomfort."
"It's her luck Dave shrugged his shoulder, well she brought it upon herself, make sure her bail is granted only in the evening..."
"But Sir..."
"Ssshhh you heard me, or you also pitying her? then you can go behind bar in her place."
"No sir, I will do as you say."
...
Dave..."if I knew you were so vicious I wouldn't have agreed to join hands with you."
"If you cared so much for her Why didn't you call me since yesterday? Why didn't you pay her a visit?? besides I didn't kill her."
"She has been going through a lot these past few days from your hand."
"If you really love her tell her not to ever provoke me, she is no match for me remember?"
"Okay, please spare her I will give you my guarantee I will watch her closely."
"Your word."
Ana woke up feeling weak, she had nothing in her stomach since yesterday... her stomach singed for food but she had none, she looked rough her hair was messy, she was unkept. She was bailed in the evening... Bernard had to buy her some junk food to eat before getting to her house.
She got home and thanked Bernard and told him to leave thereafter. She got in, her nanny was already worried she always calls when she was gonna sleep over in a friends place at night, but she didn't last night, the poor woman couldn't sleep till the next afternoon.
"Nanny I am sorry I made you worried, my car broke down while coming home and I had a flat battery."
"It's Okay dear, but Why do you look so awful?"
"Nanny...."Ana started sobbing once more, nanny was down
"It's Okay baby, if you don't wanna talk about it now, Ssshhh"....a knock was heard on the door, nanny checked the camera.... It was Bernard...she opened, Bernard came in, thought she sent him away but it looked like he did not go home.
"Bernard" Ana swung her hand around him on his shoulder in tears...Bernard carried her into her room and placed her on the bed. He tried getting something from the kitchen, Ana didn't let go his hand so he had to sit next to her and placed her head on his shoulder.
"Ana"
"Yes"
"You are save now, cry if you wanna cry, don't hold it in, cry and think about those who hurt you, never forget their faces...."
"No, Bernard.."
"Hun"
"I am scared."
"Why?"
"You said I should pay them back Dave is of exemption, I am No match for him, besides he did what was right, I was being rude to him in reality."
"Then don't be rude"
"Bernard"
"Hun?"
"Why does everyone think I have a hand in my sister's death?...do you also think so?"
"No Ana, do not think of that, ofcourse that would be everyone's believe she died without getting a chance to become the CEO."
"She died without telling me a good bye."
"She died for peace, and am sure she won't be happy seeing lead an awful life... summon up all your courage and never give up."
"But it seems like Mr Dave is an Ex acquaintance of Abel, he seems to have some grudges against me and only used the public assault as an excuse to get me into jail."
Bernard went silent and urged her to sleep... she slept off few minutes after.
