TIMELY
GLORIA'S POV
The shock on Kelvin's face, as he saw me was a pleasing one to watch, but little did he know that he was yet to be shocked the more. It was so delightful to see him suffer and groan in pain. After all, he did to me, I couldn't be less happy to see him in such a state.
"My one and only boyfriend, oops!! Or should I say "ex-boyfriend? How are you enjoying the kind of miserable life I'm putting you through here"? I asked Kelvin who still looked shocked and embittered judging from the look on his face.
"Gloria, so it was you the whole time? What did I do wrong to deserve such an inhumane act from you" he gathers the courage to speak after the long silence of shock.
"Hmm, you still have the guts to ask that Kelvin? You thought you'd gotten rid of me by sending me to jail right? Hahaha, poor Kelvin. I'm Gloria remember! And I know how to play my cards well. Look, here am I standing right in front of you and now you are rather in my Jail" I said harshly as I smiled evilly at him.
"You deserve every single thing that happened to you. The jail was undoubtedly the best option for you after you murdered my dad. I will always regret having you as a girlfriend. How could you be having an affair with my dad and me at the same time? That was very despicable of you Gloria "Kelvin said with all his might even though he was tied.
"Shut up fool, your dad was just some stupid pervert who wasn't just satisfied with your mom and came for me," I said immediately after he finished.
"Don't you dare insult my late parents Gloria!! He said with anger to me.
"Your family!!? What good are they anyway? " I retorted.
"At least the ones left can be trusted, the untrusted ones were you and my Dad and you are no longer in my life whiles he's 6 feet under." He said angrily making me laugh.
"Trusted? Did you say trusted Kelvin? Oh nice, I never knew you still had trusted people in your family " I said as I symbolised my first and second fingers of both hands like the quotation mark emphasising the word "TRUSTED"
"Gloria, why are you doing this? I know perfectly well you can't do this alone, tell me who your accomplice is. Kelvin asked staring at me.
"Wow Kelvin, this is what I love about you. You are so smart that you figure things out easily. You guessed right. I do have an accomplice. And just as you wish he will be here soon. I said teasingly to him.
Just immediately after I said those words, the door burst open and surprisingly a man entered.
KELVIN'S POV
The mood of sadness switched to happiness and relief immediately after I saw Jeoffery enter the room. I sighed in relief knowing he was there to rescue me.
"Jeoffery!! Thank God you are here bro, you for make fast get me out of these ropes make we go from here sef, Did you know to say it was Gloria wey do all these things " I said in pidgin to Jeoffery when I saw him.
The look on Gloria's face had changed when she saw Jeoffery and she stood in shock.
Jeoffery quickly rushed in my direction where I was tied and where Gloria stood, he bent down to me and attempted to untie me. I was so relieved that I was finally getting out.
"You see this Gloria, this is what we call a friend and trust, he's risking his life to save me," I said to Gloria who still looked shocked at what was happening, she didn't even order Einstein to stop Jeoffery. Perhaps she thought Jeoffery came with the police.
"Jeoffery played with the ropes trying to untie but suddenly he stopped switching his mood sarcastically and bursting into laughter with Gloria...
"Yo Yo Yo bro take it easy man, you thought I was gonna save you? he said amidst the laughter.
He rose from his squirting and moved in Gloria's direction, surprisingly he kissed her leaving me speechless.
"Naa Jeoffery, you got to be kidding me, bro, make uno tell me what adey think for my mind be true?
"What you for think bro huh, don't I have the right to kiss my girlfriend, " Jeoffery asked.
"What! Your girlfriend? But don't you have a girlfriend already? Who do you call MLG? I retorted.
"Hahaha, oh sorry bro for the late intro, Meet MLG, my girlfriend. By the way " MLG" means my lovely Gloria, he said as he laughed at me.
" How could you do this to me, bro? What did I do to you Jeoffery to deserve such a betrayal from you " I asked angrily.
Bro shut the motherfucking up, you sent my baby to Jail and you expect me to let you go scot-free?. Touching my baby meant Touching me also and I'll do anything to make her happy even if it involves getting rid of your entire family." Jeoffery blurted these words out.
"Wow Jeoffery, I gave you a home, I took you as a family and even made my family your family, Is this how you gonna repay me? I said to him.
"And who the mother fucker told you I don't have a home. I had a home with my lovely Gloria before we came up with a plan to make your family our next target since you had a lot of money and luxury. "But it all went wrong when you got Gloria arrested almost when our plan succeeded and I wasn't willing to let you go scott-free for that. We are back to take revenge and complete our mission " Jeoffery said making me shocked.
"Wow, so all this while I have been having a friend as a fraudster? You both are devils in disguises. I regret ever meeting you two. What do you need from me now? I said to them angrily.
"Hand over your properties to us, that's what we wanted and still want now" Gloria blurted out.
"What !! Hell no, I'm going to do no such thing fool" I said harshly to Gloria.
Angrily, Jeoffery gave me a hard non-enduring punch on my face sending my face to the ground.
"That's what you get when you insult my baby," Jeoffery said angrily to me.
Blood started oozing out from my mouth within a few seconds. "Jeoffery, what kind of beast have you been turned into," I asked him feeling pain from his punch issued in my mouth.
"Say anything stupid again and relieved another painful one fool" Jeoffery retorted.
Just then the sound of something hitting the ground was heard outside the room which drew our attention.
Who's there? Jeoffery asked but no one answered.
Suddenly we heard the sound of footsteps doppling away from the door.
"There is an intruder in the house, Einstein!! Go and look who it is" Jeoffery blurted out to Einstein.
He followed the order and made his way for the door picking up some weapons.
"Did anyone follow you here dear?" Gloria asked Jeoffery, both of them already looking frustrated. "I'm not sure baby" Jeoffery replied to Gloria. "But who could that person be, " I thought as I stared at both of them.
ALEX'S S POV
I was shocked at the truth I had discovered as I stood behind the door to the room Jeoffery had entered. Jeoffery and his girlfriend were the ones who kidnapped Kelvin. I thought as I stood behind the door. I resolved to turn slowly when I hit a flower vase down unintentionally to the floor. Then suddenly I heard Jeoffery asking who it was. I quickly but silently took to my heels and stormed out of the house.
My countenance told me I was been chased by someone but I bothered not to look back. I had almost reached my car when I heard a gunshot, I stopped immediately placed my hands around my rib area and brought it back to my face, there was blood in my palm. Thereafter, streams of blood started oozing profusely from my abdominal area. I crushed on the floor near my car feeling pain and gnashing my teeth in agony.
