Chapter 16 - Chapter 15

Jevan's POV 🎉

" Jevan?", Lillian called.

" Mm? ", I sighed and looked up to meet eyes with my sister.

"Are you alright?", She asked worriedly looking at me while scooping  some of the cereal with a spoon and feeding it to Nathan.

"I'm fine".

Whiles in the actual fact, I wasn't.

"Then why aren't you eating?".  "Look ,she would be fine ok?" ,she said.

"I know", I said and gave out an audible sigh. "I gotta go", I said as I got up from my seat.

"Where?",she asked.

"To the hospital, I gotta go check on her if she's alright", I told Lil

"Ooh...but you barely ate anything?". "You look pale too", she said as she stopped what she was doing, came close to me , stood on her toes and checked under my eyes.

"You don't have enough blood Jevan",she continued to say.

"You don't have to worry about me Lilly ,I'll be fine", I said, smiled at her and gave her a peg on her temple.

"Uncle Evan me too," Nathan said looking at us and pointing to his cheeks.

"Ok little one, I'm coming there", I said grinning as I went to where he was seated and also gave him a peg on his cheeks, where he exactly pointed at.

"I'll be right back shortly ,. just be a good boy and take care of mommy while I'm away ok?", I told him.

"Owkay take care of yourself man." I'll be expecting my Vanilla ice cream when coming."

"Of Course I'm gonna buy you your favorite, alright?", I said as I got on my feet took my phone on the counter and headed for the door taking a little something I cooked specially for her along in a lunch bag .

When did you start having concern for someone Jevan?

But I didn't see her eating something at her party and it's two days now so why don't I send her a meal. She might be very hungry though..

"Bye Uncle",I heard a little voice say and looked back to see my nephew waving at me showing off his cute smile . I  returned the smile and waved him back.

I strode of to my car in the garage ,sat in it and pulled out driving towards the gate where my security guard,Jack had already opened it wide enough for me to pass through.

"Good morning boss", he greeted with a smile and one hand lifted up to his forehead and the other behind his back.

"Good morning Jack ,how you doing today?", I asked him as I came to a brief halt reaching where he stood

"I'm doing great boss",he responded happily.

"I'm heading towards the hospital to check up on a friend,I'll be back shortly", I said as I started to head out.

Really man, did you just say friend?  Could have been anything but friend? Don't tell me you are attracted to her.

My subconscious brain of mine teased.

"Ok no problem sir,safe journey",  I heard him say but I was gone .

**********

On my way to the hospital, my mind drifted off to the incident that happened on her birthday night.

That night, I had a feeling something strange might happen to her. I felt she was in danger even though I didn't know her much.  Already when I saw the face of her boyfriend and the way he lustfully roamed his eyes on her body like he was already eye-raping her like a predator looking carefully at it's prey and ready to pounce on it ,I lost it. Looking at him from the rim of my wine glass as  his hands were all around her, I could easy spot that the guy was up to something.

I wanted to get my suspicions right that was why I followed them.

If not from the phone call I had that caught my attention at that moment   which made  me go outside of the hall ,like I would have known what that idiot was up to . When I came back in, I lost them. I couldn't find her at the bar again. And fuck! That's where I sprawled out from my seat and walked through a hallway and that's where I saw them. His hands were clasped around hers tightly as he dragged her to God knows where. I couldn't quite tag closely along which was why I missed the way to the room he took her too. You could tell she was totally drunk from the way she walked that very instant and he took advantage from that. I knew it might sound creepy but I followed them.

When I heard a piercing sound and  the voice of a petite screaming, I followed it till I was able to trace where the sound came from and broke through the door to see him forcing his self on her , strangling her and want to have his way with her without her consent whiles she laid there trapped in his hold ,crying , screaming and pleading for him to stop.

A fool he was.

That bastard of her boyfriend ,I remember how I wanted to  finish him of that night ,but, I decided against it. I'd rather put him behind bars than to have his dirty blood on my hands.

His gonna have a taste of his own medicine if he still thinks he's gonna live to sexually harass other people's daughters. Most especially her.  I thought through gritted teeth and tightened up my hands on the steering wheel till I could see my knuckles turned white and sped straight heading towards the hospital.

As I was going, there was only one question in my head.

Why does she seem to hate me and ignore me whenever she sees me?

I knew that wasn't the time to think about the reason she seems to hate me.

No matter the situation, whether I'm likable by her or not, I've got to protect her and that is what I'm gonna do

Find her!.
