EPISODE 35; IT’S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK
“Sister, is that really you?” He sobbed and attempted to get up from the bed but I was quick to get to him and tugged him back.
“I’m here for you bro. Please relax. All you need right now is rest. You’ve passed through a lot.”
“I don’t want to rest sis.” He heaved a sigh. “I crave vengeance on that witch. I want to make her feel all she made me pass through. I saw hell sis” he added and more tears cascaded down his eyes.
His words broke me and I couldn’t hold back my tears as they cascaded down my cheeks in waves.
“Both of those guys fucked my butt hole sis” he mumbled and more sobs racked from his throat making him cough out.
“Please take it easy. Your body doesn’t need all this right now” Frank advised but I waved at him and he zipped up his mouth.
“What else did she make you pass through bro?” I grimaced.
He drew in hiccups and peeked at me. “She made me poke my dick in powdered pepper and also made me fuck several ladies until I pass out. Frank here was the one who always treated me with the little medications he managed to bring in but then he paid for it all.”
I glanced at Frank and he was in tears. “Thanks once more, Frank.”
He nodded and smiled at me but I wasn’t in the mood to reciprocate.
I glanced back at my brother who couldn’t stop crying and smoothed his shoulders then placed my forehead on his. “It’s ok to cry it all out, brother. And you’re free to scold me for everything. I forced you and dad to accept her. I caused everything. I shattered your life. It’s all my fault.”
“Let’s give them privacy. They need it right now” Dagrin mumbled and they nodded and began striding off.
I gawked at them in silence not figuring out what to assert cause my heart feels so heavy. Even my head bangs as if it wants to crack open.
“Please stay. I don’t want you all to leave” my brother suddenly blurted as Declan bolted open the door making them twirl. “You all fought for me, my sister, and Frank not caring about death. You all are my family now and I know my sister would’ve said these same words to you. Please stay. Our pain is your pain. Our happiness is your happiness. Let us cry and also smile together. We are one big family now.”
“Such a cute dude with brains” Linda murmured and they strolled back in.
He peered at me and held my hands. “You did all a young teenager in desperate need to save her dad will do. I don’t blame you for anything that happened and you shouldn’t too.”
“But I was a fool, I should’ve warned you that the food was poisoned. I should’ve also informed you about her plans that night before the next morning but I didn’t. Instead, I acted foolishly.”
“You didn’t act foolishly sis” he mumbled and caressed my hands. “Telling me about the poisoned food won’t have changed anything cause She would’ve still looked for another way to fulfill her desire.”
“But…,”
“No buts sis” he interrupted me. “I’ve talked a lot. All I want right now is to take my revenge on her.”
“Too bad. She’s having a nice time in the chambers of Lucifer right now” Linda chuckled.
“You need to rest now baby boy,” Ariana said and winked at him.
“My brother is off-limit” I uttered and rolled my eyes at her.
“Yes boss” she retorted sarcastically and saluted making all of us burst out in laughter. It was such a pleasing moment watching my brother laugh. My cute brother. *Wink*
“I’m hurt” my brother grumbled and we all turned to him with raised brows. “I didn’t get to kill her myself” he added and hit his head.
“Don’t feel bad bro. We gave her a nice death” Lucas replied.
“What about those guys. Are they dead too?”
Dagrin smirked at him. “I used their bodies to increase my punching capabilities and your sister sent them to the underworld with a bullet to their butt holes.”
“What about our dad sis? Where is he? How is he? I’ve missed him” he suddenly asked the question I’ve been praying that he forgets. I looked at him not knowing what to say.
“Your dad is in your country. Our Mistress here after all she’s passed through doesn’t wanna have anything to do with him” Dagrin answered coming to my rescue.
“But he’s still our dad sis. Our blood. You can’t possibly avoid him forever.”
“In as much as I don’t wanna say anything in this matter, I can’t miss this. What your brother just said is true Snipy” the Queen muttered and I glared at her. She giggled and raised her hand in the air.
“Listen to me carefully Liam!” I growled at my brother and he flinched. “Don’t ever forget what I just wanna tell you. Hold unto it till you die. All I want to say is I don’t have anything to say” I chuckled and all of them stared at me with dropped jaws.
“Did you just prank us, mistress?” Declan implored.
“She didn’t just prank us. But also made us scared” Dagrin added.
I ignored both of them, sipped my cigar, and puffed the smoke at them. “Are you staying with me here Liam or are you going back home to your father?”
“Our father” he retorted slanting the word father. “Well, I can’t tell you what to do. I’ll spend a few days with you and then go back to dad.”
“That’s ok by me. Once you’re ready to leave I’ll book your flight” I mumbled and stood up. “It’s good to have you back.”
“Thanks for saving me Ali baby” he mumbled calling me by the short form of my name “Alicia.”
I turned and rushed into his open arms as the name brought back memories that I’ve kept in a special place in my heart. “Let’s go home dudes, it’s time for our second mission.”
They bobbed and we turned to leave only to bump into my chauffeur. The fact that I sacked this dude but yet he refused to go cracked me up. “Take us home” I ordered. “Meanwhile you’re back in.”
“I’m in? Like I work for you now!” He exclaimed happily.
“Yea” I responded begrudgingly.
He couldn’t contain his joy even as we entered the car and drove off. And also couldn’t stop saying thanks.
“This is all we’ve gathered so far on our parent’s murder case” Dagrin and Declan uttered immediately we entered the cabin.
