ENTICED
(EPISODE 35)
.
For the first time in weeks Andile visited my office again. It was strange as I had even forgotten that he was a client.
Me: Andile
Andile: my case is going no where
Me: do you want me to deal with it?
Andile: no... Not really, just tell your attorney to be serious
He looked at Ken standing by my side.
Andile: is he your protection
Me: yea....
Hold up.... How did he know that?
Andile: your husband sent me a threat. He thinks I am after your life
Henry sent Andile a threat....
Me: well... Are you after my life?
Andile: what do you think?
The way he said that made my stomach turn. I mean what if he is the one who has been sending me threats. I looked at him a little startled but I tried to maintain myself. Surely if he was innocent he would have tried to defend himself. He laughed.
Andile: I am joking... Really. Why would I want to hurt you...? Just put my case on fast track
Me: will do... Now will you excuse me?
Andile: thought we might do lunch together
Me: unfortunately no... Please leave
Ken went to his side with a very scary face. Andile looked at Ken then stood up and left. If Andile is the one who has been threatening me it means there is something he is holding against me but what.... I never knew Andile until that day at the Coffee shop. And then I also remembered that he is the one person who I gave my E-mail address. I started to feel uneasy... I tried calling Henry but his phone was unreachable. Maybe the reason what he is after me us because his sister is still in jail. The lady handling Andile's case "Lorato" entered. With the forms that she wants me to sign but doesn't have time for me to read.
Me: how can I help you?
Lorato: mam... I have made a copy for you to read so that you sign the original forms.
I nodded and signed for her... She smiled and thanks and thanked me before disappearing. I opened the first page and it talked about dropping a case... I really was in no mood to work anymore so I just picked my stuff up and left work early... I shall finish reading these documents tomorrow. I stopped by the mall to pick some few clothes for my babies since now I knew what gender. They were not identical and two of them were girls with only one boy. I ended up deciding to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. I received an anonymous message again.
Good girl.
Seriously what the fuck does this have to mean? Andile called shortly after i received the message. He sounded happy, he thanked me because he won the case... Now I was certainly sure that he was the one sending me threats. But then again...
If he is the one then why did he attack my mother? I tried calling him Henry again this time I reached his assistant who told me that.. He went out to see a building site but left his phone on the car. I hanged up a little irritated. I threw my phone on the floor.
There is obviously something up with Andile. I went back home. Mom has been living with her sister since she arrived from the hospital and Mrs. Tyson is a frequent visitor. I greeted and went up go my room.
There were guards at the gate and the door and behind the house and around the yard... I know that dad used to have guard but they were not everywhere. I remember dismissing them from their work after he died... I gave then all half a million just so they are left with something.
Henry
Me: are you good
Zenzele: turns out you are quite useful...big brother.
He said as we return to the car and I couldn't help smiling... From what I see I am already making progress with this relationship. The minute I got to the car I found a lot of missed calls from Trisha. I quickly called her.
Trisha: honey....
Me: baby... What happened?
Trisha: are you okay...
Me: yea... What about you?
Trisha: Andile... He gave me a visit
Me: Andile... He didn't hurt you... Right
Me: no... It just sounded like he was threatening me... He is my client and I think his case was being side tracked. But then he told me he told me that you threatened him
Me: yes... I think he may be the one sending you threats
Trisha: really... Well he won his case and I think he will be off my back
Me: okay babe... Be careful... Don’t let my babies go to sleep hungry
I heard her soft giggle
Trisha: I miss you
Me: I miss you more...
Trisha: when are you coming back?
Me: after this week.
Trisha: but I want you to home now...
Henry: don't worry babe... I'll be back before you know it
Trisha: well since... I am sure the person who has been threatening is not behind my back anymore will you reduce the security... I am not comfortable baby
Me: No!
I think I snapped a little too rude to her liking but I can't risk her life to her assumptions. I don't even like the fact that he is a client at her law firm.
Me: i am sorry for this but baby... I can't risk your life
Trisha: from what the devil?
Me: maybe... I love you so much baby... I don’t know what would happen if you ever got hurt.
Trisha: I love you too baby
Me: so how are my little dolls?
Trisha: the...a...g...t...
She started to crack until I couldn't reach her... I guess it must be the network. But then I received a very disturbing message that has my pounding. Abby has been released by Trisha. Why on earth was would Trisha release her.... No something is not right. Then it all hits me.... Abby must have been Andile's sister... Andile could have tricked Trisha into releasing Abby. And as far as I can see. Trisha must be clueless. Oh shit she thinks she is out of danger. .. But the she just opened the door to danger. I tried contacting her I turned the car around explaining go Zenzele what just happened and having her girlfriend trying to contact her but she just couldn't because her phone was off. If I could fly.... I'd be coming right back home instead of having to book a flight back
Fadz: I have a better I sea than booking a flight.
Trisha
I don’t know why but I have a feeling that something is not right like someone is following me or something like that ever since Henry hanged up on me. I told Ken countless times that I feel like someone is following us but he been trying to convince me that everything is alright but I can even see it in his eyes that nothing is right.
I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like someone is standing over me.... But there was no one.... Literally no one. Not even Ken. I walked outside and stopped by my bedroom door step. It was scary.... Ken was beating up every guard he has been working with and shooting them up although there was no noise being made... I guessed his gun had a silencer and they were all attacking him. I went back in my heart pounding so hard.
I don’t know what's happening here and I think I am just about tp faint. Why on earth is Ken killing his work mates? Maybe he is the one who has been trying to harm me. I locked the door in a few minutes I felt someone trying to open it up I kept quiet then I heard ken yelling my name.
Ken: Mrs. Tyson.... Please open up.... Mrs. Tyson.... Mrs. Tyson.... I may have to break down this door.... You are in danger... We have to leave.
I know I am in danger what I don’t know is If I should trust him. He started banging down the door.
I ran into the walk in closet and curled up in a corner after I felt my door being Broken down the door of the closet opened and he came straight to me I stood up and started throwing my high heels at him screaming that he should get out. I was only i n a very short night gown.
I think he doesn't find it effective to try to convince me that he is the good guy. He talked a fleece and comes to wrap it around my shoulder. I had stopped fighting him for now.... But I wasn't sure what he was up to...ni was even too scared of thinking about what he could be thinking doing. He kneeled in front of me and looked in my eyes. I was practically frozen.
Ken: we have been double played. The security I was working with was part of Andile's team. We have to get you out of danger...
With that he helped me stand up and led me down stairs passing a lot of guys on the floor with either their heads twisted or blood around them. Wait... Where the hell is my mother?
Me: Mom... Where is my mother and Junior?
Ken: Alex managed to take them go safety... All of them with hour aunts and everyone y of your family that was in that house
OK... That means Alex wasn't part of the team... But how can I trust this man.
Me: where.... Where did you take her?
Ken: at the Tyson house
I nod although I don’t really believe it because mom would never go away leaving me in danger. I get in the car and he straps my seat belt. He starts driving and I am holding on to the fleece over my shoulder. Suddenly we hear gun shots and the car speeds about of the road. I hear Ken swearing under his breath.... This is not my night.
What the hell does Andile want from me... Why does he want to hurt me? I am bloody five months pregnant for crying out loud. Andile sticks his head outside the car window and begins to shoot while driving. I didn’t even think it up as possible but he seems good with these things. after my car window got shot and a major car accident behind us we finally hit the road.
He entered the Tyson yard and grabbed me by my arm leading me to inside a house to a room which I didn't even know existed. Apparently it was a panic room. It was family big with couches around a TV and a big fridge. Everyone was inside including my mom and all my other family members.
That was when I felt relieved immediately mom grabbed me in a hug crying but surprisingly I wasn’t crying... This has to be a major improvement on my crying tendencies.
I sat on the corner of the couch after practically everyone hugging me. Emily wanted to sit on my laps... She didn't want to hear any of the I am pregnant shit...
I think to her it didn't matter because she already knew that there were babies inside mom's tummy. I received a video after about hours of silence. I saw Henry... He was tied up in a chair and he was screaming... They were beating him up.
He screamed for my help... He wanted me to help him. The person torturing him began electrocuting him. He was a mess. I felt my heart beating on my throat. It ended with a message on the screen telling me where henry is located and warning me to come alone if not they are going to kill Henry.
Emily: is that daddy?
Emily asked somehow I managed to find my voice and smile at her.
Me: no baby... It’s not him.
Emily: but daddy looks exactly like that.
Me: no Emily... That is just his look alike
I left Emily still confused and went to the door hoping no one can see me. Ken stood by the door and asked where I was going.
Me: I need the bathroom.
Ken: I will come with you.
He led the way and I followed behind him planning an escape plane. He went in to check the toilet then went outside. I got inside and screamed while rushing out.
Me: there is a person inside there...
He rushed inside with a gun. I locked the door and took my car keys. The minute I got to the garage I heard gun shots. I think he was shooting the door down. I drove as fast as I could with my head spinning with fear. I don't think he managed to follow me. I stopped in front of a shack in the middle of an empty area that used to be a farm. I got out and rushed inside then I saw him with blood all over his shirt and a brown sack over his head… he was tied down to a chair.
I looked around there was no one inside here something was not right but never mind that. I quickly took the sack over his face only to realize that this wasn’t henry… this was Andile…. I froze for a second. He raised his eyes with the most evil smile I have ever seen. I turned around to run away but then a lady entered holding a gun.
Gosh I think I am going to be sick
No… it can’t be… it can’t be…
This is just a terrible dream… a horrible one
Abby has the same evil grin his brother had on his face… or at least that’s what I think their relationship is.
Abby: Mrs. Tyson… nice to see you again
I couldn’t bring myself to speak…. My voice literally ran to a dark place to hide and abandoned me.
Abby: oh… thank you by the way… for releasing me. I think I will be nice to you just because you wrote a letter of my release
WTF… I never did that… I would have been nuts to do that.
Andile unties himself and stands up. She holds my shoulders from behind and I jump a little…I think I might just die because of fright here, he smirks a little and pushes me to the chair. He starts to tie me up and I don’t even resist… I have lost all will to do anything.
A girl enters… I know her she is the attorney from my company… the one that dealt with Abby’s case.
I am done being stunned now… I wish to open my eyes and everything is back to normal.
Andile takes off his shirt that is splattered with red liquid which I thought was blood and he puts an a clean one. Abby takes my phone and gives it to the girl then instructs her to throw it away
Me: what do you want from me…?
She laughs…
Abby: that question…. I want everything from you Trish… and I mean everything. First of all I want your mother to become my mom… second of all I want your children… the ones inside your stomach as we speak and lastly all your fortune and riches… I want them in my name.
I feel like everything happening here is unreal.
Me: why?
Abby: because… you bitch… I want to ruin you and that mother fucker husband of yours…. You ruined my life
Excuse me… because of you I lost my father and my first baby… as I think about it I get even more scared I want to cry but I don’t… I can’t… the last time I dealt with Abby I lost one of my parents and my unborn baby. My biggest fear has come to reality.
She is busy yelling about how I ruined her life but I am not even listening…. The reason why I didn’t want to admit to my pregnancy… the fear… what if I lose my children again… what if she kills my mother… i9 am brought back to the present my a sharp pain on my cheek… then another one but I still don’t scream or cry… it’s like I am dead but alive.
Abby: she was all I had… they were the only ones that gave me a reason to wake up every day and try to survive… do you know that we wouldn’t be here if your husband…. If only… if only… your husband had given me a million… just a million nothing more everything would have been fine… I would have left you and your family alone
She was panting very heavily….
Me: why are you after my family… just wait until I give birth then you can kill me… please?
I feel so helpless… I feel like my words are stupid… I don’t even know what I am saying.
She laughed and tears start trickling down my eyes
Abby: no… I will take your mom and children so that you know what it feels like
What dos she mean I know what it feels like.
Abby: yes Trisha… I was pregnant and my mom had a brain tumor…. I had a miscarriage the night you kicked my tummy and after I was sent to prison without a trial my mom died the next day…
I really tried holding myself but I couldn’t… I found myself weeping so loudly… what happened that night… I thought I was over everything but this bipolar lady is bringing everything back.
Abby: and just because I wanted money to take mom to a private hospital.
She paced around me grunting and murmuring alone… when she stopped I felt a tight slash on my cheek. I bowed my head and closed my eyes
Andile: I really like you Trisha… I tried to avoid all this you know… but damn that husband of yours… I had my team ready to take your mothers child and your mother just so we could avenge your family but somehow he realized something.
Abby: forget about that one… I like the one I have right now. It will destroy henry until he is the walking dead… soon he will commit suicide
I stopped crying and kept completely silent. They went out for a while the minute I closed my eyes I felt cold water splashing over me. I gasped for breath and opened my eyes. He grinned and went out. Suddenly I heard gun shots outside Abby came rushing in and tearing down my night dress and exposing my tummy then pointed a gun to my stomach.
Ken barged inside followed by henry and then Mr. Tyson.
Abby: get close and I blow your little kids out… henry slowly got close I was panicking this girl doesn’t seem like she is just threatening.
Abby: I am not kidding
Me: please henry… don’t
He stopped but then Ken threw something at her and she stumbled backwards… they all halted at her except henry who came towards me. He untied me and hugged me while they held Abby down.
I couldn’t help breaking down
Henry: it’s okay… it’s over
He whispered. He looked at Abby and pointed a gun at her while she laughed like a possessed person. I shook my head… they shouldn’t kill her
Me: no… no… don’t kill her
I yelled. He turned to look at me then dropped the gun
Me: don’t kill her
I say again but then Mr. Tyson looked at me like she wants to give a beating she takes out his gun and pumps two bullets on her tummy while I scream…. Henry just held me down trying to hush me down but he didn’t understand anything… nothing at all. She didn’t deserve to die…. No he didn’t.
I think after all the drama I fainted because I woke up the next day in the hospital with henry by my side.
It look like he was here the whole night. He gave me brief smile…
Henry: you okay
Me: is she okay
That’s the first word I say… yes I am thinking about the person who wanted to kill me last night.
He signs
Henry: she is under intensive care… but dad thinks she is dead with his brother
Me: Andile…. Is he dead
Henry: the bullet was on his brain
Me: where is she?
Henry: I will show you later… she is at a place only known by me and Ken… ken managed to convince me to keep her alive because you said we shouldn’t kill her.
Me: she was also pregnant that night… she lost her mother the next day henry now she lost her brother.
He signs but says nothing… his hand is brushing over my belly as the babies kick like crazy.
Henry: what do you intend to do about it?
Me: I don’t want her to go to prison or her to die… the money which she demanded from us was for her mother…
He was looking at me like I have gone totally crazy but then I know the pain of losing a child and a parent and honestly…. She might have been the one to kill my dad but she only did what she had to in order to support her fam.
Me: two wrongs don’t make a right…. violence is never the answer and revenge only makes things worse
.
.
Two weeks later he took me to meet Abby after she woke up. The doctor didn’t believe if she would ever be able to walk again.
The minute I stepped inside she had her eyes on me.
Me: Abigail
Abby: what do you want
Me: I am sorry…
She signed and looked at the other side of the bed.
Abby: I am also sorry… I know that you probably hate me to bits even though you are here… I heard that I only got saved because of you
Me: Abby I may be a rich spoilt brat and maybe I have not experienced what you have gone through out there but I am also human I have a heart… had you just come to me that you needed help I wouldn’t have hesitated to help you
Tears start rolling down my cheeks… I feel Ken’s hands on my shoulder trying to get me out of there but i resisted.
Me: where was Andile all this time?
Abby: Andile smuggles drugs…. he was out of the country… in fact he has never really been with us
Me: please forgive me and my husband Abby
Abby: I have no idea why you are apologizing
Me: is there anything you would like done
Abby: yes… I have a nine year old son… they took him away from me when I went to prison
Me: I will bring him back to you
Abby: no…. take care of him… he lives in an orphanage… just make sure he has food on his stomach when he goes to sleep but don’t adopt him
Me: why don’t you want him back?
Abby: and tell him that I love him with all my heart
Then out of nowhere she raises her arm with a huge syringe and stabs herself on the heart. I froze… it seems Abby enjoys traumatizing me. Ken takes me out of the room and leads me to here henry is as the nurses rush inside.
