Chapter 20 - 15 Years Of Migraine

Bianca had a hard time with Kingsley at the office that week due to the whole issues that have been going on at the office.

On Friday, they also stayed back at the office till nightfall due to some work she and Kingsley were tidying up.

"Sir, I'm ready" She informed Kingsley that she was ready to go home since she was done with what she was doing.

"Okay. One minute" He said.

Okay, sir.

Now, I'm done. 

"So let's go. I'll drop you off" He suggested.

Don't worry sir, I can find my way home.

No. I will take you home besides, we need to go grab dinner before going. I'm sure you must be famished.

"Yes actually" she smiled shyly.

"I guess it's a Yes then. So let's go" He said and she lead the way out.

10minutes later, they arrived at a fancy restaurant. They ordered their food and begin to dig in.

While they were at it, Kingsley noticed Bianca stealing glances at him like she has something bothering her.

"You can ask, you know," Kingsley said calmly concentrating on his food.

"I'm sorry" she blushed.

I didn't mean to...

"It's fine, Bianca. You're my friend so you can ask whatever and be free with me. We're no longer at the office, so spill it" Kingsley said.

"Okay," she said in form of a whisper.

I've been meaning to ask, do you often get sick that bad? She asked carefully and he smiled.

"Not always" he smiled and she nodded.

"It only happens with migraine that lasts for a day or couple of hours" He explained.

Okay. Since when have you been feeling that pain? She asked.

"For the past 15 years," He said calmly after gulping from his glass of water.

"Wow" that's crazy and you haven't gotten any drugs or medication that can cure it? Or you're just stubborn about taking drugs? She asked with worries written all over her face.

Kingsley smiled.

"No medication can cure it," he said truthfully.

What!!!!

"I don't believe you," she said.

"That's the truth," Kingsley said looking at her with a soft smile on his face but she only sighs.

Okay. But..." She stopped at the next questions she wanted to ask because she don't want to push him or overstep her boundaries.

What about your brother? She asked.

What about him? His mood went sour instantly.

"I know I'm not supposed to interfere in this but I think you should hear him out," She said with pleading eyes.

Why should I do that? He fucking...." He noticed he was raising his voice already so he stopped.

He fucking betrayed the trust I have in him. Who does that?" He said with a low voice that screams pain.

"I know it hurts and I don't know the whole story but I have a strong feeling it's not exactly as you've imagined," she said and Kingsley only looked at her carefully.

Come to think of it, if you had met him at her place, I will agree with you that she was seduced as she claims but if she was actually at his place, then there is more to what you saw and that's why you need to hear your brother out, please" she pleaded.

Kingsley listened to her carefully.

But that doesn't justify what I saw" He said angrily.

"I know. I know your brother is something else when it comes to how he changes girls, I mean I've seen how a series of hot girls visit his office but I don't think he'll be that stupid to sleep with Irys while you both are dating and aside that, you do need him at this point" Bianca said.

"Hmmm" Kingsley tried to calm down.

"Please listen to me as a friend" She dropped her cutlery and put her hands together to plead.

"It's fine, Bianca. I'll listen to whatever he has to say" He said with a straight face.

"Thank you," She said cheerfully.

So what do you intend to do about Mrs. Alicia? She asked.

"I'll fix her at the appropriate time. For now, I just want to focus on sealing all losing ends else she might ruin the company completely" he said.

Okay.

They ate in silence before he went to drop her at home.

"Thank you for the dinner," She said the moment she got to her place.

"I should be the one doing that. You eased off my stress for real" he said softly.

"I'm glad I did," she said.

"Yeah. So go in and rest" he said.

Okay," Goodnight.

"Goodnight, have a lovely weekend" She nodded before stepping out, and went inside before he drove out.

*Stalker on phone*

"Hello Boss".

Yes? Is it done? The person at the other end asked.

No Boss. He dropped her off and there is no way I could do it without him getting involved.

"There is tomorrow. Make her disappear from her house if possible and anyone that stands in your way, take he/she down as well" the caller commanded.

Understood boss.

Call ended...

That night when Kingsley got home, he thought about what Bianca had said and he decided to give Dickson a call.

Meanwhile, when Dickson saw his call, he was so happy.

📞 Hello brother.

📞 Meet me at my house tomorrow morning.

Call ended.

...

The following morning, Dickson drove down to his place very early before he changes his mind.

"Good morning Mr. Dickson" Uriel, one of the house help greeted.

Good morning, Uriel. I guess my brother is still asleep? He asked.

Yes.

"Okay, thank you" he smiled and headed straight upstairs to his bedroom.

*Door opens*

"Good morning big brother" He greeted cheerfully.

Kingsley only rolled from the bed and looked at him.

"I said in the morning, I didn't remember telling you to come be my Alarm" He said coldly.

"I'm sorry" Dickson apologized.

Kingsley didn't respond, instead, he stood up from the bed and went straight to his bathroom to clean up. He returned a few minutes later.

"So I'm listening," He said staring at him.

"Brother, I swear I didn't touch her that day you saw her at my place" He said.

I don't remember you both being friends with each other. So how come she was at your place at that hour? Or have you both been playing on my intelligence? Kingsley asked.

"Listen, bro, she came over to my place to seduce me into sleeping with her to seal my mouth from exposing what she does behind your back that I'm aware of" Dickson said.

"Speak English, Dickson" Kingsley said folding his arms because he wasn't understanding what he was saying.

"Practically Irys have been coming to my bar with different men of which I have proof of " he said passing his phone to Kingsley which he reluctantly collect.

"So I confronted her about it and since then she has been trying to pull some stunt and doing everything to silence me because of something that happened before" He explained.

What do you mean by"something that has happened before? Kingsley asked but Dickson went mute.
