Enoch's father, Old Damtis, didn't wait a second after Enoch went out of his study to get to the point, asking me questions I couldn't think before answering. I couldn't even look at his face which was as cold as if he was going to strike a deal with his business partner.
"Do you know my son is about to get married?"
"Yes sir, he told me."
"And you are still with him?"
"Yes sir... I mean no sir"
"Which one should I take, yes or no, if you are not with him then why did he bring you here." Old Damtis asked, freezing me more with his cold voice.
"Sorry sir, he told me he was not marring anymore, and he brought me here because he wanted me to meet his family." I answered truthfully, looking at my fingers.
"And did he tell you why?"
"No sir."
"Do you love my son?"
"Yes sir... eerrm..I.. I.." I answered the question without thinking.
" I noticed how you were able to clam my son, and he behaved because of you. I can say he loves you but doesn't know yet, so don't be the witch he says Abigails are." Old Damtis said and the cold sweat on my palms and body started disappearing.
With his facial expressions, I thought he was going to be like the villains I've been seeing in movies, but he was just being a good father for his son's happiness. My shaking body became calm after a while, and I could finally think when the question stopped coming
"Aren't you a police officer as they say?" Old Damtis asked after a while of silence.
"Yes please, I am." I answered simply.
"What are you going to do about the other Abigail?" Old Damtis asked, and I couldn't tell if his question was a text or just a father's worry.
"Sir please, I don't know her and I have nothing against her, so I can't say I'll do anything to her." I answered as simply as I can, but infact, I was scared what she could do to me instead.
" Because of you, my son did something he has never done before, even though it against his principles. Don't let it go to waist." Old Damtis said and all I could do was to stare at him, lost on what he just said. I felt like visiting the washroom instantly, just by thinking of what Enoch might have done.
"You can go now, and tell Enoch to come." As if Old Damtis heard my silent cry, he gave me permission to go out, but on second thought, I wish he didn't do it so fast.
"See who we have here, Abigail." Daniel Enoch's elder brother said as soon as I stepped out of the study room. It was as if he was waiting for me and he even followed me to the stairs.
"Brother Daniel, please can you show me the washroom?" I asked, I wanted to pee so bad but the lust in his eyes won't let me go.
"Yes! but I won't, why should I? What will I get in return?" He asked, looking at me lustfully.
I looked around to see if I could see Enoch or at least any other member of his family, but non seem to be around. I tried to walk pass him but he still wouldn't let me. "Looking for the beast you tamed?" He asked and I couldn't help but think why he hate his own brother that much.
"Don't worry about him, he's not close, moreover, he's in his house so he has no worries. What about you, what if another beast appears and eat you up?" He asked and my throat felt dry all of a sudden.
" Brother Daniel, I need to visit the washroom now, so if you won't show me, just allow me to find someone who would." I said and made to pass him again, but he held my hand so tight I could feel his nails digging into my skin.
" What do you want from this family? Money, fame or a good name to attach to yours? I can give you all." Infact I felt disgust when I heard him saying those things close to my earlobe.
" Answer me, what do you want? Or someone sent you to our family." He asked close to my ear.
" Brother Daniel please let go of me, you are hurting me." I said calmly trying not to create any trouble for Enoch. I knew I could handle him, but how can I, when am in his house.
" You want me to let you go, but was I stoping you in the first place? All I want is for you to get what you want easily, if you don't want to then go." He said and let go of my hand with a push.
I felt my body falling, I closed my eyes and prepared myself for the fall, knowing it was going to hurt really bad. After a while, I opened my eyes and found myself hanging midway to the ground. Thank goodness, I didn't fall. "Did Daniel saved me after pushing me?' I thought.
I looked at the direction from where someone was holding on to my hands with a strong grip, but before I could start rejoicing, he pulled me upwards and grab me by my waist, making our bodies face each other and our lips landed on each others.
He saved me, Enoch saved me. But how am I to thank him when he's so close that I can't even breath. My hand on his chest held on to the lapel of his suit, and both his hand held onto my small waist tightly, whiles our eyes locked on each others as he kept his lips on mine.
"Ehmm... ehmm... ehmm..." Georgina cleared her throat, bringing us out of our fantasy moment.
I looked around and noticed not just Enoch, but his entire family was present, including some men I think were body guard to the family. I couldn't lift my embarrassed face to look at them, Enoch noticed how uneasy I felt.
"Are you okay. Do you want something?" He asked and I just nod to say yes.
"What do you want, tell me? Enoch asked again and my sight shifted to his brother Daniel to see if he was still angry.
" I'll handle him, just tell me what you want." Enoch said calmly, but I knew he was angry.
" Don't worry, he didn't do anything, I just wanted to go to the washroom. Can you take me?" I said, hoping Enoch will go with me and I'll be able to stop a fight between him and his brother.
He took me downstairs and his family follow behind us. "Becca, please take her to the washroom." Enoch said to his little sister and she agreed happily, giving me no reason to object.
<<<<<< Writer's POV >>>>>>
Abigail left for the washroom, still thinking of what Enoch might do, but from his usual expressionless face, she couldn't tell what was to come. She kept looking back at Enoch as he kept his hands in his pocket looking at her as if he'll be like that, waiting for her till she comes back.
As soon as Abigail's figure disappeared from the living room, a fist was sent Daniel's way, making him crow on the floor. Rita run to help her brother up whilst the other had an expression that says "You deserve it" on their faces.
"What do you think you are doing?" Rita asked Enoch angrily as she held Daniel up by the shoulder.
" Giving him answers to the stupid questions he was asking her." Enoch answered, showing his palms up high as if he didn't do anything.
"You mean you hit your brother because of a woman?" Rita asked Enoch, shouting on top of her voice, which of course got Abigail's attention.
"Rita, won't you want your husband to defend you from other men, even if they're his or your brother?" Georgina asked and the room became silent.
"I doubt he'll ever do that." Rita said to herself, making sure nobody heard her.
" You see the reason why I said you are a beast?" Daniel asked and Enoch just smirked.
" You hit your elder brother just because of a second hand girl as you call them?" Daniel said, trying to upset Enoch more, and Abigail was out from the washroom on time to hear him clear.
"Speak of her like that again and I'll change your face." Enoch said angrily moving close to Daniel.
"Why, does it hurt to hear the truth? Do you even know her that much? What if she was sent by someone to destroy this family just as it has already started? What if she's a whore just like.... " Daniels words got stack in his mouth by another punch in the face.
Enoch followed him on the ground and gave him more punches on the face as his family tried to stop him, but nobody could untill a voice did. "Are you going to kill him because of me?" Abigail asked, standing right in front of Enoch with her arms folded on her chest.
Enoch got up from his brother instantly, feeling ashamed of what he made Abigail witness, but there was no way he was going to show how he felt on his face. He smirked as he got up and held Abigail by the hand. "I hope you don't mind if I teach a little lesson to him?" He asked, looking at her in the eyes.
Abigail couldn't say anything but nod her head to say no, it was as if she was under Enoch's spell, and his family stayed watching as the two got all cozy.
