What did you just say? Kingsley asked again.
"I'm sorry bro. I'm truly sorry" he said with remorse.
Dickson, you had sex with my woman right under my nose? And you both still have the guts to pretend like you hate yourself rights before me? Wow," Kingsley smiled.
"I swear to you, nothing happened ever since then. I swear" Dickson said but Kingsley stood still watching him.
Are you cursed? No, are you having mental or psychological problems? Do you need to see a therapist or something because the only logical explanation to this madness is that you're sick" Kingsley said but Dickson only smiled.
Oh, you think this is funny? You the.....
"Oh yes brother, it is fucking funny" Dickson yelled at his brother making Kingsley mute.
"Yes, I am sick. I'm mentally unstable, I'm whatever you think I am" he yelled.
Oh, you think you're the only victim in all that this family has been through? Hell No, Kingsley. I was broken too and now I'm completely damaged" he said with tears forcing their way out.
What are.....
I watched you cry, suffer and most times wallow in pain when your migraine starts, and I've always done everything to make you feel better, I was always by your bedside, stood by you and I'm always ready to lay down my life for you but do you ever feel my pain? He cried.
"I fucking try to look unbothered, I mean I've always looked like I don't like care but do you know how many nights I've cried myself to sleep, how many times I've been lonely? Now, I found warmth in the hands of different girls and you think I'm sick? Yes, I am sick and tired, Kingsley" he yelled at him with tears gushing out of his eyes.
Kingsley couldn't say a word. All he did was kept mute and watch his brother vent out his anger and pain.
God knows I respect you, love you, and cherish you and He also knows that I'm truly sorry for what I did and I hate myself for it but please can you stop crucifying me already? He said calmly.
"You suffered, I suffered too. I watched our brother plead to death. I could have died that day too, I was in that car for fuck sake. It left me traumatized but I kept to myself because I knew you were going through a lot too. That's how much I love you bro" He cried.
He walked closer to Kingsley and bowed his head " I'm sorry and I hope you forgive me someday" he said and left before Kingsley could even say a word.
Immediately after he stepped out, Kingsley called on his driver to follow him and make sure he was safe.
He moved to the window and saw how he drove out and he couldn't help but worry.
Dickson got home and cried his eyes out. Memories started flashing back.
*Flashback*
13years ago" (2 years after Douglas's death)
The boys decided to go have some fun at the game house but Kingsley canceled up on their plans at the last minute because of his migraine.
The 15years old Dennis, the last baby of the house was eager to go to the game house, so Dickson decided to go with him and leave Kingsley to rest at home.
Kingsley of then was 22years old, while Dickson was 18 years old.
Dennis happily got dressed and dashed out of the house with Dickson behind him.
Despite the gorgeous look of the boys, no one could be compared to that of Dennis. He's the complete replica of Alicia. So handsome.
Dennis opened the front door of the Benz to the seat.
What do you think you're doing? Dickson asked.
"Hoping in of cos" Dennis said nonchalantly.
"Get to the back seat, boy" Dickson said.
"Cmon favorite brother, let me seat here, on our return, you can have your front seat sir" Dennis said with all sincerity.
Lol," Dickson laughed ruffling his hair.
"Get in boy" he said while Dennis jumped in on the passenger seat Happily,. The driver couldn't help but smile. He likes to watch the young boys play around like that.
10minutes into their drive, the car lost control due its faulty brake. It began to move uncontrollably until it collided with a big tank placed at the side of the road.
The driver died on the spot but Dennis was unconscious and had blood gushing out of his head because of the glass that pierced through him.
Dickson was still conscious then, he managed to pull himself up and force the passenger's door open.Β
"Dennis please wake up" Dickson kept calling his brother that was bleeding in the front seat but no response.
In no time the ambulance came and that was when Dickson passed out. Only to wake up at the hospital with the news of Dennis's death.
It was as if life was been sniffed out of him. He was broken, Despite Dennis being his younger brother, he was closer to him than Kingsley.
*Flashback ends*
Dickson cried himself to sleep that morning.
....
In the evening by 8 pm,
"Bianca on the phone"
π How are you? Kingsley asked.
π Doing great. I've been resting the whole day" Bianca said.
π "That's good. Mine wasn't that good but I'm good" Kingsley said rubbing his forehead.
π What happened? Did you talk to your brother? She inquires.
π Yes. He was here this morning.
π Okay. And?
π "Bianca, I think I'm the worst brother ever" Kingsley said sadly.
π "No, don't say that" She said softly.
π No. Don't sweet talk me. I know I am. I...(Knock at Bianca's door).
π "Uhmm, Please I'll have to call you back. There is someone at the door" Bianca said
π By this time? Are you expecting someone? Kingsley asked.
π" It could be Maya, the lady next door that is our friend" She explained.
π Okay. Let me know when you're done attending to her.
π "Okay" She said and ended the call.
Knock!! Knock!!!
"Hold on, ism coming," she said walking to the door.
*Door Open*
"Hello," She said to the young man standing at the door.
Hello, you must be Bianca, right?
Yes. How may I help you?
"This is for you" He said presenting a bag to her.
What is this and from whom? She said trying to look at the bag but she suddenly felt a sharp sting on her neck and she let out a painful scream at once before she blacked out.
Babe, what's that? Mandy who just finished having her bath and was now dressed in her nightwear came running to the living room after she heard a scream.
Bianca???? She called and just as she was approaching the slop entrance before the door, she felt a heavy force strangling her throat.
She tried to scream and see who the person was but the rope on her neck was suffocating her and she couldn't feel her body anymore till she went limp.
*Stalker on the phone*
πHello boss
π Yes
π It's done.
π Are you sure?
π Perfectly done.
π That's good. I'm sure you know what to do.
πYes boss.
πAlright. See you tomorrow for your balance.
Call ended.
5minutes later...
Kingsley called back but no response. He called several times but no response. He decided to call Mandy which is very unlikely, still, there was no response.
