The Master's Bedroom
Chapter Seven
By Obodozie Favour Chioma
My gaze refused to leave Amber, I stood there for a while before excusing myself to leave, this was just too much for me, I wanted Amber so much but then her heart wants Kip.
I ran out of the hospital and to the car where I cried my eyes out.
"Why does Kip have everything and I nothing? ".I asked myself as I wiped my tears off.
I unzipped my bag and took out a tablet and placed it in my mouth chewing it.
"I wasn't mad, I'm not, I don't kill for fun, he made me do it, mama I'm doing all this just for you".I said to myself laughing hard.
" I'm going to have Amber all to myself whether that bastard likes it or not, infact he just has to die, he can't recover, he just has to die".I told myself starring at the bottle of poison remaining, the one I had used to kill that slut Sofia.
I smiled to myself injecting the content in an injection.
"This night you shall meet your end Kip, Amber is mine and I can't bear watching any other man come close to her".
I brought out a blade and I made sure to cut myself in different places.
"Stanley this should be a reminder to you that you will have to get Amber all to yourself, Kip can't have her, she is yours, Mama told you all this was yours until he was born".I told myself smiling hard.
I placed my lips on the blood that was gushing out and I began to suck it until it bled no more.

"Where's Sofia?".Kip asked me and I stared at him for a while.
" Sofia tried poisoning you with a poisonous gas or don't you remember?".I asked him and he stared at me.
" I know, but then where's she?".He pressed on.
What was wrong with him?, Why is he so interested in knowing where she was?.
"Sofia is dead, I got her behind bars for what she did to you and someone poisoned her surprisingly she was pregnant".I told him and he stared at me for a while without saying a word.
"That's what she meant when she told me she needed money to rescue a child from a monster".He said and I got interested.
" What do you mean? ".I asked him and he remained silent for a while before he talked.
"I use to have strange conversations with Sofia and whenever we had such conversations she would say things like, She fell for a monster or he is making her do things she doesn't want too".He said and I wondered if Sofia was being forced.
" Now I understand her weird phone call, I think she was murdered by the same person who wanted you dead".I told him and we both stared at each other for a while saying nothing.
"But who would want you dead and why?".I asked staring at him.
" Why?, It's obvious that the person wants to have my money but then who would want to kill for that?".He asked and just then Stanley walked in.
"Sir,some officers are here and they say they want to have an urgent conversation with you". Stanley said staring at Kip and just then I noticed the strange cuts on his arms.
"What got you those cuts?".I asked him and he smirked.
"I was cooking and I ended up hurting myself".He said and I wondered how I could tell he was lying.
"But those cuts are fresh".I pressed on.
"Cooked before coming here" .He said pointing to the food on the desk.
The police officers walked in immediately and I watched Stanley walk out.
"We're sorry sir for disturbing you even in this critical condition but then Sofia's death was just too mysterious and we need to question you so our doubt will end".One of the police officer said and I wondered what sort of question he was about to ask.
"We noticed that there was a huge motive behind her death, from the little investigation we carried out on, Sofia had a man who bought her from a stripper club and so she worked for him and helped him with all his evil deeds".Just as the police officer was talking, a man walked in.
"And who are you?".The police officer asked but then Kip was familiar with him.
" He is the detective who was to find out about Sofia".He responded and the police officer nodded.
" Mr Kip, I'm sincerely sorry that I haven't been able to come visiting, there was this mad man forcing me and trying his best to blackmail me, he warned me never to show my face in your place again or I will lose my life".The guy said and my jaw was wide open.
" Who would do such a thing?".I asked confused.
"From the looks of it, it's the same man that planned to kill you".The other police who has been quiet said.
" Hmm, can you recall what the man looked like? ".The police officer asked and he shooked his head.
"That's bad, how will we be able to find the culprit? ".Kip asked and there was silence suddenly Stanley walked in.
"Boss, the doctor wants to see you".He said staring at everyone there, I noticed the uneasy attitude the detective guy had as soon as Stanley walked in and I wondered why?.
The doctor walked in and immediately disapproved of the meeting we were having.
"I can't let my patient suffer like this, you all leave while he rest".The doctor said and one after the other everyone left Kip's room.
"Can't Amber stay Doctor?".I heard Kip ask, I stared at the doctor who shooked his head.
"I'm sorry you can't, she also has to rest and if he rests well then I'm so sure that by tomorrow you will be healthy and fine".He said staring at me.
Kip just nodded in affirmation to what the doctor said and I made sure to leave, I informed Stanley that I was leaving only for a while and that he should let nobody come in to disturb Kip from resting as the doctor had injected a seductive in his drip, I blew a kiss at Kip who smiled before closing his eyes, I closed the door after the doctor walked out and I did the same.
I planned to go home, shower and prepare something for Kip, I wanted no one cooking, for now I trust no one with my Kip and I monitor whatever he eats, Stanley is his close friend so I was so sure he would make sure no one comes in.
****
I searched round, no one was around and close by, this was my chance to inject the poison in Kip's drip, this poison was different, he would die a slowly and painful death and it would be hard for anyone to guess who killed him.
I opened the door and tiptoed to where Kip laid and smiled about to inject the poison, I stared at Kip for a while, he was sleeping peacefully, I recalled how Amber blew a kiss at him .
"Amber is mine!you scumbag!".I almost cried about to inject him when I heard the door pulled open.
"Stanley what are you doing here?".I heard and I was so surprised to see Kip's Aunt, She must have gotten back from London.
"Aunt Diane, you're back".I said hiding the injection inside my pocket.
"I came back as soon as I heard the news of my nephew being hospitalized".She told me and ran to where Kip was.
Surprisingly Ana walked in with her luggages, Why was Ana here again?.
She walked up to Kip who seemed to have woken up from his sleep.
"My son, how do you feel?".His Aunt questioned.
"Aunt Diane, What are you doing here?".Kip asked trying to sit up but then she stopped him and I just wished Amber could be here to watch the drama that would unfold.
Thank fully she walked in saying she forgot the house key when she saw the two women beside Kip.
"Kip my love, I'm so sorry I couldn't get here on time".Ana said hugging Kip.
I smiled knowing I was enjoying this, Ana was never known to lose and she has had her eyes on Kip for a long time and when she finally became his, they both got separated when Ana was given a scholarship to study law in Brandon university.
Kip was heartbroken for years and that's how he took to being a player, he was upset with her for leaving him here, he got to know she left from her mum who strictly told him to stay off her.
He hated women and made it his aim to destroy their lives and self esteem and in the process he met my Amber.
I think the universe is working for me, Ana would somehow find her way back to Kip's life and I will be with Amber for ever... Ohh those sexy legs!
"What's going on here?".Amber asked confused while the two women turned to see her.
"And you're?".Aunt Diane asked Amber.
"She's Amber, the Master's Sex Slave".I said almost immediately.
" Sex slave?, Kip what's Stanley talking about?".Aunt Diane asked.
****
"Didn't you hear what I said Kip?".My Aunt came again.
I stared at the three women in front of me each part of the closest thing to my heart, My Aunt, Close Family, Ana my past and Amber my present.
"Kip dear, what does Stanley mean?" Ana asked me and I just took a long look at her.
She has really changed, she has gained some weight and now has endowments that are likely to be seen in a woman.
"Amber's not my sex slave" .I told them.
"Hmm, then what's she doing here? "My Aunt questioned me.
" Amber is my business, and whatever she is doing here should also be my business".Was his response and I know Amber wasn't feeling comfortable, I could tell she was dying inside.
Why was Ana back?, She left me for years and now she is back again.
"Business?, Of what purpose is this girl here for?".My mum asked me trying to know.
" Aunt please calm down, I think she is just a friend".Ana said and I got pissed off immediately.
"Amber isn't my friend, she means a lot to me than mere friendship"I fired at her.
" Mere friendship?, Kip hope you're not defending your sex slave?".My Aunt asked and I got infuriated.
" Amber isn't my sex slave".I tried saying.
"Ohh then her duty is just to satisfy you sexually, nothing more then".Ana said and I wondered why she was acting that way.
"Excuse me".Amber said and walked away and I was guessing she could be in tears.
****
The ride back home was just too quiet and no one was ready to say a thing, I could literally hear the heavy drops of rain of which poured down like it wasn't in any way ready to stop.
It's only being two weeks and so much has happened, from the non-stop quarrels I and Amber have had to the ending of our contract, just this little time and a lot has happened.
Amber is out of my life now for good and I'm getting married to Ana in a few months from now, My Aunt has successfully matched us up and made preparations for our wedding.
In only two weeks I have learnt a lot from life, the way it is and how it treats us, in just barely two weeks Stanley proved to me to be the devil in sheep clothing, his words still linger in my mind till now
"What are you worth?, Nothing, your money is what makes you, I suffered everyday of my life bowing down to you when I should be the one controlling that money, is it because I was adopted?,I was deprived everything while you had it all".Those words of his makes me wonder why my parents had treated him so poorly then and why I wasn't informed about the fact that he was my step brother.
Amber left me after collecting her full payment, our numerous fight ended along with the contract but still am thankful for the night we both shared together, though drunk our love and passion for each other overtook us and we had the best night of our lives.
Amber hatred for me grew more when she caught me in bed with Ana, Ana and I were both drunk two days before our contract ended and I didn't know what came over me that night but I made love to her and it triggered the anger already stored for me in Amber's heart out.
Her words when I begged her were "Don't you dare try to come close to me again, you're only a monster who derives joy in sexual pleasures and nothing more, send me my money at least for my services as your personal sex slave, the contract expired yesterday so I see no reason to still stay where am not wanted infact write me a cheque now".She said and I could see how her blood was boiling, she had fiery eyes and could kill me there if she has the chance.
I quickly wrote it and she collected it from me and told me this words before leaving.
"It was nice doing business with you, I wish I never cross paths with you again forever".
I got angry immediately, how could she say that?, Do I actually mean nothing to her?, Was my money all you wanted and nothing more?, Everyone only came to me for my money, betrayed me and left me after taking my money.
I hate Amber so much, I hate her, how could she just leave just like that, she left me and was only after my money, My Aunt was right, she was only after my money and nothing more.
Couldn't she have forgiven me for that small mistake, that little mistake I had committed?
She could have overlooked the fact that I had sex with Ana, forgive me and by now we should be married.
Does my love mean nothing to her?, She doesn't in anyway love me or care about me?.
"Stop at that stipper club, go in there and tell the boss that "Kip Asks her to bring her hottest Dancer and I will pay a million dollar for a night with the dancer".I instructed and my new driver Mike who did as he was told.
Two weeks ago...
I got discharged from the hospital after two days and the journey home was a tiresome one, I was still told to sitl on a wheelchair till the doctor was sure I had fully recovered.
Amber maintained the silent treatment she had being given me since the whole incident about her being my sex slave.
I made sure to ask Stanley to inform her that I wanted to talk to her but then she declined my offer saying she was busy and Ana walked in on me.
I didn't realize cause I was in the shower and my assumptions was that she was the one who opened my room door so I dragged her into the bathroom and the shock on my face told a story that day.
Amber walked in after Ana ran out, she waited for me to get dressed before she poured down questions.
"Why was Ana leaving your room like that and why aren't you dressed?".
I couldn't give her the response she was looking for and what got her to leave my room.
She walked away and this triggered anger in me, what's making her this upset?.
I was the one whose close friend saw naked and not her so I should be the one breathing out fire.
****
I pondered about my next plan concerning how I was going to succeed in killing Kip and still taking over his properties alongside Amber for myself.
Ana had walked in on me when I was about injecting Kip and though I managed to stir up a fight between Kip and Amber, that doesn't help me out in my plans to obtain Kip's properties.
This time around, I have to act fast, each day Kip is getting stronger and soon he would go back to working again and what will I do?, I recalled hearing him on the phone talking about moving his documents to a safe house in U.k and I can't have access to that, I have to think of something and fast too.
"Stanley think, think!".I said angrily staring at the floor as I moved to and fro.
"Bingo!".I said almost immediately, I was sure this was the right idea and best way to get his properties.
I walked close to the little drawer and pulled it open bringing out a little box from the drawer.
I opened and took out a bottle containing a liquid, I smiled to myself reading what was written on the bottle.
"Harmful substance, Slow poison, kills and destroys external organs after consumption, it kills the victim slowly, if in contact with skin it burns , not to be kept in the reach of children".
I let out a short cackle knowing a few drops of these liquids everyday in Kip's tea will send him straight to hell where he should belong, maybe he would be in a reunion with Amber and his evil parents.
****
Vera served the dinner on the table and I made sure to ask Amber who after numerous pleas from me walked downstairs to have dinner with I, Ana and My Aunt.
Tomorrow I was going to resume work and I didn't want the both of us to still be rumbling or gambling over issues that could be resolved in a quiet manner.
Amber led a short prayer for us while the angry eyes that was fixed on her showed me that others disapproved of the prayer but then there's was no harm in praying.
After the prayer session I watched Stanley walk in with bright smiles on his face, something I haven't seen on him in days, we still have a lot of catching up to do, we have both really being quite distance especially when I inhaled that poisonous gas.
****
I smiled knowing fully well that I had poured in a little content of the slow poison into Kip's food and in a few days he would be a dead man never to be seen again.
I watched him with keen interest waiting for when he would eat a spoonful but then each time he pulls the spoon close to his mouth, his eyes goes on Amber and he spills the food.
When this happened for the third I knew immediately that this idiot gets easily distracted when Amber is around, now what should I do?.
"Sir!, Sir!, Sir!, Please don't eat it".Mary came running alongside Vera.
" What does this two want now? ".I grumbled angrily.
"Sir, Please don't try eating this food, I was being careless with the food, I didn't know how the pot lid was left a bit open, when I returned back to this kitchen, I saw a big rat inside the food and it had died, I wondered for a while what could have killed the rat and I discovered the food was poisoned". Mary said and I watched Kip push the food far away from where he was and everyone stood up immediately in a dramatic way.
"Amber, are you alright?".Was his first question.
Her response was cold to him but then she couldn't hide her concern for long, Ana on the other hand pounced on the maids threatening them that they would get arrested .
"Who tried this attempt to kill me?, Stanley, please find out who wanted me dead and why, when I find out who that person is I promise not to spare the person, Stanley please help me find out who tried killing me? ".Kip asked me and I hoped there and then I don't burst out laughter.
I could be asked to find myself out or implicate myself, it not possible.
Amber on the other hand planned to involve the police and I cursed the day I actually wanted her in bed with me, she was starting to get on my nerves.
The conclusion was I handled the case for two days and then the police gets involved, Amber brought this idea and it infuriated me.
****
Late at night....
I couldn't sleep and so I got up and made a short knock at Amber's room, I could hear her struggling but then she opened the door and when she saw that it was me, she banged the door right on my face while I tried pulling it open.
I knocked again and this time around she opened the door asking me what I wanted.
"We both know the answer to that, I want you".I told her entering the room.
"Kip please I really am not in the mood to start up an argument with you".Amber said and I ignored her and wrapped my arms around her.
" I missed this".i started of and she tried controlling the little smile that was about coming in.
"This?".She asked me and laid a soft peck on the nape of her neck.
"Yes, I'm really sorry for hurting you, it really not my intention too, Ana is just a close childhood friend and nothing more or less are attached to that friendship".I assured her and she just nodded.
I made her face me then I said "I have my eyes on only you even when I make mistakes I still want you to come back to correct them".I said and she tried smiling.
" Please don't only play just the role of a mother to our kids, act more like a friend then as a mother".I told her and she nodded.
" Even if I don't show it, I need to learn too, I love you so much Amber, My day is not complete without you, I feel incomplete when I don't get to see those pretty smiles of yours, everything about you sends me off my direction, your curvy waist back to your deep dark eyes, shows signs of innocence but then reveals all intentions, your lips, a satisfactory taste something I want to have back on my lips again, your hands so tender and soft, sends shivers down my spine and makes my heart flutter inside, I want to feel your hands caressing each and every part of my body just the way I do so too you when I want you close to me".I made my way gently to her waist and dragged her close, she made a soft sound calling my name.
"Kip..."
I smiled knowing I wanted to hear her lips call only my name and her heart beat for only me, her body tremble and crave for just my touch, all this and more I only want from her.
"I want to make you feel more like a woman, I want to make love to you and your body welcomes me in not push me far away, I want your hands to caress mine and crave for me just as much as I crave inside just for those lips on yours to be on mine, I want to seek your permission just to have you, I want to display my respect for you as a woman and at the same time show you how much I really want to have your lips scream my name, just this and more I want to have with you".I paused for a while to see her reaction before I made my way to her lips.
I took a pause and went for her ears, biting it softly and whispering to her
"I want to have you only when you want me".
She smiled and placed her hands on my shoulders.
"Don't get too formal with me, you and I know how much we both fantasize to have our arms wrapped around each other, you know how much I want you and how far I can go just for but then I need your sincerity as my trust would be complete and when broken hard to fix back".Were her words and I nodded.
" The day I break your trust, leave me as a lesson so I wouldn't try it again, I promise to not break your trust in the best way that I can".I told her and saw the glow in her eyes.
" Then that's fine by me".She told me and we both smiled.
" Our relationship has to be known so do something about it" .She commanded and I laughed.
" I will ma'am".I told her smiling.
"Tell me Kip where do I stand in your life?".She asked me and I leaned over and kissed her.
I withdrawn from the kiss and then faced her staring directly at her eyeballs.
"My life partner, you stand to me as the woman I want to make my wife" .I said and she blushed softly.
" I'm serious when I say I want more than just what we share now, a bit more and for that to happen we both have to be married, I really don't want us sinning more".I told her and she smiled.
" I'm really glad you've changed".She told me and I smiled.
"You made this possible, I changed completely all because of you, I want you and to keep you forever in my life all my bad habits and attitudes has to be gone as well".I told her and she smiled.
" I love you Kip" .She let out.
" And I love you too Amber, I'm going to make you mine officially in a few days but please my love make due with being my girlfriend while I make plans for our wedding to take place".I told and she nodded smiling.
" I will, I just want you to love me and be sincere about it nothing more and then I can wait for you, I could do so for as long as I'm alive, I don't care as long as you would be here with me, side by side, my hands locked on yours, that'll I need from you".She said smiling.
****
"Aunt, I did as you instructed me, I walked into Kip's room but then he doesn't seem to want me".I complained to Kip's Aunt who listened saying nothing.
"My sister's son is after that useless slave of his, you will just have to try more in your seduction, seduce him well make sure to do that".She informed me.
" And how am I going to do that? ".I asked her confused.
"You were born with brains weren't you? ".I asked her and she nodded.
" Make use of it and in due time too, I can't lose Kip's wealth, it belongs to me". Kip's Aunt Said shocking me.
" I thought this was just to help me win Kip over".I asked her confused.
"Sure win Kip". Kip's Aunt said.
"Hmm come up with another plan and fast to cause that girl is gaining more points than I am".I told her and she suggested I make Kip breakfast.
I woke up early to prepare the only meal I could prepare and Kip's favourite too, this is was a way to remind him of the times we had both shared together and how we had both cherished each other.
Kip was slowly forgetting how he was my first love, first kiss and how he deflowered me on Valentine's day, the day our parents weren't home.
I came visiting him to spend the day with him and we catch up on some of the topics we missed during lectures.
I remember clearly that I wore a pink top and a skirt that was revealing too, something casual and nice too.
I knocked and he welcomed me in, we were both so young and naive, I remember I was only sixteen and he was eighteen when that beautiful experience occurred.
He offered me something to eat informing that he was the only one home with the bodyguards, I smiled and brought out my notes.
We started of writing and talking more on the topic, we made sure to understand the topic very well but then Kip had suggested we take a break and watch a movie in his room.
I agreed knowing fully well of my feelings for him, I believed I could hide it besides how could a movie hurt, it was a romantic movie and surprisingly had erotic displays and Kip could tell that I wasn't comfortable with it so he switched it of but then I didn't want to loose this precious time I had with him so I lied that I was totally comfortable with it.
We watched for a while each of us getting sexual aroused but still we kept on watching, Kip switched it off and kept his tablet on his desk.
I asked him why he did that and he said nothing, he came close after locking the door and held my hands.
"I've liked you for a while now".He began and the senses I once had disappeared immediately.
Maybe it cause of the sensation of cold shivers that had ran across my body, I liked it!.
"Me too".I said chuckling foolishly.
"Ohh that good".He said smirking at me.
"Yes it is kip".I said and he smiled.
"So then be my girlfriend?".He said and before I could say anything his lips were on mine.
I couldn't help it, I felt my hands leaving the position it was before and making it way around his neck.
He caressed me slowly, his hands running through my skin, I wanted this but then it wasn't right, still i didn't want to loose him.
This was insane, but then it was insanely good, I was inviting the devil, his hands ran down my skirts and almost made his way to my panties when I shifted.
"Kip please".I begged and he stared at me.
"You don't want this".He asked and I just kept mute, I supposedly became his girlfriend few seconds ago and now this, it was just too much for me.
"It okay if you're not ready".He assured me but then I wasn't ready for us to end the relationship that had just begun with a fight.
"I'm scared, it might be painful".I blurted out and he burst out a loud sound of laughter.
"Painful?, You're kidding right?".He asked and my confused face bought the story.
"I've deflowered a lot of girls and none of them have complained about it being painful".He said and my jaw was wide open.
" Kip, do you mean what you're saying?".I asked and he stared away.
" Don't come at me like you're a virgin" He said and I stared away in disgust.
" I am and if I may ask who are the girls you have deflowered?".Was the next thing I asked him and he stared at me.
"I shouldn't be disclosing their names to you but then I like you so I wouldn't hide anything from you, I had my first experience with Kelly the schools cheerleader, she invited me over to her house when her parents were out of town and there the magic happened, My second girlfriend was Carla, Kelly's best friend, I deflowered her and the rest are history".He said and stared at me.
" History meaning?".I asked him and he stared at me.
" Meaning they weren't worth it" He answered and looked away.
" Tell me who they were" I asked and he eventually blurted their names out after my constant persuasion.
"Natty, Bella and Harley, your closet friends each took turns in seducing me and I accepted and deflowered each and everyone of them, I really like you a lot that why I took you away from them and to me".He told me and my mind smelled a false lie yet my heart chose to believe him.
