'What did he just say' Geb thought trying to subdue his anger towards Morsi Mubarak. Who those he think he is to sit in the same room with him and ask his consort, 'my consort' to be his first lady. 'Has he gone mad? '.
Nessy couldn't believe her ears. Did Morsi just ask her to be his first lady?. "Morsi" she started trying not to loose gaurd of her words, else it may cost her human rights due to the personality before her. "I am sorry but l don't understand. You are the president's son, not the president himself so how do mean that l should be your first lady". She ended with a puzzled look on her face.
Morsi remained calm as though he didn't want to be provoked. Nessy sensed this and rephrased her words. "Don't get me wrong, l just want to understand want you mean because am lost here ". This time more polite than before.
Geb was trying do hard to suppress his anger, he just sent death glares to Morsi who didn't seem to notice his presence at all in the first place.
Morsi breathed and finally spoke "l am running for the elections after my fathers tenor is over next year. And l am very sure of my victory. I present this offer to you because l see no one else fit to stand by my side, not as though am satisfied with you, but you would do just right. So my dear, prepare yourself because the wedding preparations would start this year by December and the wedding will also hold the same month". He ended with his voice full of authority and will.
Geb felt the urge to suck out the life within Morsi. Who exactly does he think he is, coming here to claim his beloved consort with all boldness. Well, he didn't blame him atall, he blamed himself for still sitting there and doing nothing. As he wanted to fulfill his rot, Nessy's voice stopped him.
"What if l choose to disagree with this decision of yours. l mean, l need to think this through and l believe l have a say in this as well". Nessy was trying so hard to remain calm.
"There is nothing there to think through and like l said, you should count yourself lucky that l chose you, am sure you know how many Egyptian female celebrities and high class ladies that would kill for this opportunity, so don't screw your chance Nessy Saadid! ". He ended with an upset voice with his brown orbs giving Nessy a death stare.
Geb was still quite, not because he wasn't angry but because he wanted to see Nessy's reaction and how she was going to handle the situation. He had wanted to see all of her, and now he had the opportunity to see her angry and frustrated side. He kept calm, and allowed her handle the situation. He saw it as test to see if she would make a good consort. At this thought, he smiled to him himself unconsciously.
Nessy who had looked fustrated and angry all this while, noticed his weird smile and shot death stares at him, not understanding what was funny.
Morsi followed Nessy's stare and it landed on a man sitting on the arm chair opposite where Nessy had been sitting before walking up to him and sitting directly opposite the couch he was sitting at wasn't moment. He studied the man for some seconds and averted his gaze, believing he was unimportant.
Nessy recollected herself and started again "l don't know what you think of me mr Morsi, but one thing is certain, l am human and have rights of my own. You can't just impose something on me against my will. And this is marriage for crying out loud, l need to think it through because its a life time connection! ". She ended with a slight yell, which seemed to fuel Morsi's rage.
"Miss Saadid, may l remind you of who you are talking to? ". He stood up and paced around twice before turning to her with a death stare and continued with a proud voice. "l am Morsi Mubarak, the only son of president Habeeb Mubarak, the next president of this country and a lord as well. Just imagine how far l can take Mitch Saadid company even outside the coasts of Egypt, more than your dead father could ever imagine or achieve".
At the mention of her dead father, Nessy felt pain stab her heart. She clenched her fists and stopped her tears from flowing by blinking severally. Geb felt the pain too not just because he could hear thoughts but also because of the duplicate mind. Although he couldn't see her face, he knew she was trying hard to hide her pain. He wanted to act at once but was cut short by Morsi as he still had nonsense to spill.
"I could make your company the most dominant in the whole of Africa. So please spare me the whole think about it drama and tell me where you would like to have our honey moon, because l can't wait to taste the innocence in you" he ended with an evil smile.
"H.. Ho.. How did you know l was innocent? " Nessy managed to ask still in shock. She doesn't remember telling him about it, Infact they 've never had an intense discussion before so how did he know.
Geb too was shocked. He searched through Nessy's memory and didn't find anywhere where she disclosed that to him, so how exactly did he know. However, he tried to read Morsi's mind to see if there's any clue he could get on how he got to find out. But then, the strangest thing happened ;he couldn't read his thoughts. He tried again and failed again.
'What is this? Why can't l read him 'Geb puzzled within him. He still couldn't comprehend what was going on. he remembered that when he first stepped in, he felt a weird sensation go through him like he knew who he was, but he took as the effects of the duplicated mind and since Nessy knew him, he would seem familiar to him too.
However, the situation changed when he started talking. He possessed this aura that Geb wondered where he got it from, but he thought that maybe it was due to his pride as a president's son. But now he knew there was more to it. He (Geb) could even read gods and the only beings he couldn't read where beings of darkness, rivals of the gods. Moreover, this man has been making him uneasy since he walked in. 'Who could he be? ' he puzzled in his mind.
"Oh my dear, you have no idea who I am" Morsi answered Nessy with a smirk. "There is absolutely nothing that l need to know about you that l don't know. So if l were you l would act smart and fast take the opportunity now that its still on a platter of gold ".
Now, Nessy was terrified to the core, she felt subdued, intimidated, who was this man. Morsi Mubarak was more than just the president's son. He was something more dreading and dangerous. Nessy stared directly into his brown orbs and and it held horror that she wouldn't like to know of.
Geb knew something was wrong,but he didn't know what exactly. Without wasting time, he stood up from where he sat and walked to where they where. He looked at the two, the air was tensed and he was sure that something was wrong he looked at Morsi and saw the dangerous aura he was emitting. Then he looked at Nessy and saw that she was terrified and subdued and could collapse anytime. Immediately, he cut the trance by using his mind manipulation on Nessy, giving her the strength and boldness to speak again.
"I have heard you Morsi, you may now take your leave "Nessy said not knowing what gave her the mind and boldness to. She looked up at Morsi to find his eyes asking the same question but he didn't speak. He drew away from her and nodded before exiting the room.
Immediately he left, Nessy started breathing fast, Infact she was losing breathe. She didn't know what was wrong with her she felt so weak and lifeless. Before she knew it, a pair of strong arms were hugging her from behind and the owner of the arms spoke into her hair "its ok. Am here, l won't let anyone hurt you. You are mine and no one else's. "
She was too weak to listen so she just welcomed darkness.
