Lauraโs POV
Lauraโs reaction to the news put her parents and Priscilla in a tensed mood.
They wondered if Dracole had cast a spell on her or something. Her parents and Priscilla were surprised when she asked to be left alone. At first they were reluctant to leave her alone but since Laura wouldnโt stop shouting they had no other option than to leave her room.
Laura wouldnโt stop sobbing. She stood up and paced round the room. It was while she was pacing round the room she felt something in her pocket.
She took the item out and realized it was a pendant. It was Dracoleโs own. Dracole had put the pendant Into Lauraโs pocket before releasing her.
Laura was too engrossed in thoughts to notice. She checked her pocket to see if there were any other thing In it.
And yes! She found a note.
It was written..
Keep the pendant lolita itโs yours. Itโs a present from me to you. Darling I am afraid the end is near so I want to use this medium to say sorry for the hurt I have caused you. I appreciate your kind heartedness towards me. Thanks for saving my life. I love you and will never forget you. I canโt assure you by the time you get to read this I wonโt be already dead but if it happens that way I Know I will leave this world a happy man reminsicing on the good times we had. From your admirer.
Daramola.
Laura stared at the note countless times. She didnโt know if she should keep it or discard it.
Eventually she kept the note and the pendant in her wardrobe. She resolved within her heart that she would find something to do with them later.
Charlesโs POV
Charles eyes were swollen like that of someone suffering from eyes inflammation. He had almost cried his chest out because of his loss. He couldn’t believe Dracole was gone. It was a harsh reality he found difficult to accept.
He pondered on how he would escape the penalty that would be melt out to him on a couple of days. He didnโt have connection like Dracole. He could only boast of ill gotten money in his bank account and that was unreliable because he knew it wouldnโt take too long for the authorities to freeze his account because of the way he acquired his wealth.
Charles cleaned his face with his Palm. He was thirsty. His throat had dried and was getting sore. He felt choked he was gasping for breath when he saw a figure that looked like his twin brother.
He looked at the direction the figure was heading to. He was amazed when he saw the person was Steve his twin brother. Charles bowed his head in shame. He thought his brother had come to chastise him.
When Steve came closer to Charles, he smiled and spoke.
โHiding from your best friend? You know you shouldnโt be doing that.โ
โQuit the pretense what did you come here to do Steve? To mock me? Or to chastise me like a kid?โ
Charles asked.
โNope I didnโt come to do any of the things you listed. I only came to sympathize with you.โ
โSympathize who the hell died?โ
โ Dracole. I heard Dracole is dead.โ
โAnd who the hell told you that?โ
Charles frowned his face.
โYou should already know bad news spread like wild fire.โ
โOohhh ohhh ! where are your flowers bro? You shouldnโt come empty handed to sympathize with the family of a deceased.โ
โDracole was never your family.โ
Steve blurted out.
โAnd you are right? You make me laugh.โ
โListen I know you are hurt but you shouldnโt be blinded by hate.โ
โDo you even have an idea of how I feel right now? I guess you donโt.โ
โI do. Of cos I share in your pain. I know how much you relied on Dracole. He was the fence you rested your back on afterall but heโs gone now and you need to think straight.โ
โSo you came here to tell me how to think . Bravo! You are doing well Steve.โ
โI didnโt come here for unnecessary arguments. I only came here to amend things.โ
โToo late bro. You neglected me when I needed you most. You kept me in the dark . You didnโt let people around you know I was a part of your life. I am nothing but a plague to you.โ
โI wonโt fall for your emotional blackmail. Heavens know I tried my best to convince you to come with me but you refused. You stayed back despite my several warnings . I had no other option than to cut you off because your way didnโt tally with mine.โ
โThen are you here doll face? I donโt need you here so just get out. I donโt need pity from an hypocrite like you.โ
Steve sighed.
โJust so you know, The penalty of your crimes are heavy. You need all the help you can get now and I am here to offer you my unconditional support at least if I get the best lawyer in the city your term of imprisonment will be reduced.โ
โOf what use is that? My crimes are way too many. Even if my year of imprisonment is reduced there wonโt be much difference. You probably would already be a Grandpa by the time I come out so whatโs the use? By the way who would want to associate with an ex convict? Not to talk of marriage.โ
โItโs never too late Charles. If you are still alive thereโs hope. See this as a second chance to amend your way. I will check on you later. I got to go . Take care.โ
Steve looked at his twin brother in the eye before taking his leave. His words had effects on Charles. Charles wouldnโt stop reminiscing on what he said.
Louisโs father was cracking jokes with Louis when suddenly a call came in on his phone. He checked the screen and smiled when he realized it was Lauraโs father. He picked it up.
Lauraโs father spoke.
โHello good evening sir . I trust you are doing great?โ
โSure I am. My son is getting better he now smiles with me and we play a lot these days.โ
โWoow thatโs a great news. I am excited to hear that.โ
โThank you. Howโs home? I hope the private investigator and his team are closer to finding Laura?โ
โWell thatโs the reason why I called. Can you guess whoโs back home after such a long time.โ
โWait donโt tell me. I donโt believe it. You mean Laura has been found and is already home?โ
โYes my daughter is home. My heart is beating fast as a result of joy. Is Louis there with you?โ
โYes he is. But I doubt he can relate with what you want to say. Once Laura is ready she can come and visit him. I know with time Louis will remember her.โ
โI have high hopes Louis will. I sure do.โ
โYeah. Where is Laura right now? Is she in her room?โ
โYes she is. Sheโs refused to talk to any one of us. I just hope she will be fine soon.โ
โSorry thatโs expected. I guess sheโs still in shock. Please take it easy with her.โ
โThanks. We are already doing that.โ
โAlright then.โ
โOoops before I forget. Howโs Nicodemus? Hope heโs preparing for his trial?โ
โDude is sad and filled with guilt. He feels heโs unworthy of being given a second chance.โ
โEiishh. I guess heโs feeling unworthy of himself and afraid of what to tell Louis once he recover his memory. You know the truth canโt be hidden forever.โ
โYeah I know that. My wife and I donโt intend on hiding the truth of what happened to Louis once he recovers . Afterall we canโt tell him his brother died cos he will definitely ask of him.โ
โYes thatโs true. Do enjoy the rest of the day sir. The private investigator is here already. I have to attend to him.โ
โAlright thanks for the call I appreciate.โ
โDonโt mention.โ
Lauraโs father cut the call and offered the private investigator a seat.
โI am glad you are here.โ
Lauraโs father said with a smile on his face.
โYeah I am happy you are. Howโs your wife and daughter?โ
โMy wife is doing great sheโs asleep as we speak. I canโt say the same for Laura though. Sheโs been acting weird.โ
โItโs expected. What she went through wasnโt easy. I would act same way if I were in her shoes.โ
โThat guy Dracole. Have you figured out why he didnโt ask for a ransom? I have
A lot of questions in my head. My daughter seems to be affected by his death.โ
โReally?โ
โYes she does.โ
โWell from my investigations I figured out Laura and Dracole attended the same university. Daramola is
Dracoleโs native name. Dracole is just a street name.โ
โSo does it mean Laura and him were friends on campus?โ
โI canโt say for sure all that happened between Dracole and Laura on campus all I know is they were a bit close before they had a clash. Laura should be able to tell better once sheโs recovered from the shock.โ
โOhh yeah thanks man. I appreciate your efforts. Do you care for a drink. Have got chilled fruit drink you would definitely like.โ
โAlright Sir. I am thirsty already.โ
โGive me a seconds.โ
Lauraโs father took a chilled fruit drink from the fridge in a bottle and offered the private investigator in a glass cup.
โWoow this taste great.โ
The private investigator said with an enthusiastic voice.
โYou want more?โ
โNah am full already. Another day.โ
โAlright. I would like you to celebrate with me on my birthday. I am going to celebrate it in this mansion. I intend on using the opportunity to celebrate my daughterโs return as well.โ
โOhh wow I canโt promise you I will come but if your event doesnโt affect my schedule I will definitely show up. Whatโs the code?โ
โ20th of this month. Sunday precisely.โ
โWow thatโs just five days left to the great day.โ
โYes dear. My joy is complete because my daughter is here. I had told myself I wouldnโt celebrate it I didnโt know my daughter would show up soon. Itโs all thanks to you I canโt stop being grateful.โ
โItโs okay sir. I only did my job.โ
The private investigator smiled.
โSorry whatโs that your name again?โ
Lauraโs dad asked the the private investigator.
โKenneth. My name is Kenneth. Although my dad calls me Zion junior. He does that playfully though.โ
โI think I love the Zion Junior.โ
Lauraโs father teased.
Priscilla who wanted to thank the private investigator for his efforts was dumbstruck when she heard Zion junior.
She had left her room when she heard his voice . The private investigator had come to pay a visit in the mansion once so he recognized his voice.
She opened her mouth in awe.
โNo it canโt be.โ
She soliloquized.
