CAST OUT

She found a secret.

“I told you she isn’t Elina. You were proving difficult, you made a fool of yourself at there.”

“But, she looks just like her, her voice. I can tell she’s my Elina.”

“She used to be your Elina, not after you f**ck her best friend. You’re bad man.” he chuckled sipping from the glass.

“Please don’t make me feel worse, I still couldn’t forget the look she gave me, betrayal, hatred, disgust. It’s still hunts me every time I close my eyes. I saw her face. The tears in her eyes,”

“Then you shouldn’t have done it, when you know you’re madly in love with her. You don’t even like Barbra. You used her to satisfy your needs. Because you needed someone to f**k and she was there. And you two had to enjoy the moment. That’s how you should have explained things to her.”

“You’re crazy.”

“But that’s the true. You don’t like her or do you now like her after sex”

Ray was silent.

He shook his head.

“You’re in it for it.” he chugged down the liquor and refill his glass again.

“You just have to forget about El. She’s now out of your league. Since she’s with Kenzo, take your eyes off her. She’s never coming back to you.”

“Kenzo is dangerous.”

“Ain’t you more dangerous than him.”

He looked away from Ray.

Aziel held the drunk Zara, taking her out of the bar.

“Isn’t that Aziel? Kenzo’s right hand man.”

Ray turned and saw him walking out of the bar with the girl in her hands.

Kenzo’s men was here. Kenzo is here too. And so is Elina. It all makes sense. The girl he met was Elina there was no doubt about it.

He didn’t know she could be that pretty.

Maybe he was more dangerous than kenzo after all, but he still won’t give up on her yet.

“Stop being obsessed with something that isn’t your anymore. You would only get hurt.”

Ray watched him till he was completely out of the bar.

He would get Elina back no matter what. Bring her back to the place she should be. That’s beside him. And no one else.

His friend stare at him. And shook his head. Ray was heading for doomed.

Elina sat on the bed with Brennon laying his head on her thighs. She strokes his hair in return.

“When you wanted something, though it was just little, when you get that thing, you crave for more till you want the entire thing for yourself. You could no longer stop yourself from longing for it.

You become trapped in it, you won’t rest till you get it.”

He pulled her hands from his hair and kissed it.

“You’re a pretty lady but don’t get too ambitious it would ruin you. Just like it did to me.”

The drug was working quite well. She took the picture she kept at her side and gave it to him. She thought he was gonna have his way through her but he didn’t.

Instead he was sober. And gloom.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He took the picture and stare at it.

“How did you get this?”

“You once had this life isn’t?”

“Kenzo sent you, he’s cheap isn’t he.”

He caress the picture. And a fiant smile came on his face.

“This is Brown my best friend and his wife, Sally, he was once he head of the cult. He was killed by the cult itself. A year after he was place on seat. His wife was pregnant then had to escape else they would kill her as well. So I took her home and hid her till she gave birth, after the baby birth she flee leaving the baby behind.”

“What about the child you said you shouldn’t have had?”

He didn’t hesitated.

“He’s alive, but I can’t say anything about it.”

Why does she felt something was wrong with the story? Something was missing.

What was he hiding?

She has to find out.

Kenzo ran out of the room. With sambas behind him. He bang on the door. Cause it was locked on the inside. He kept banging the door till she opens.

“Elina! Opened the door!” He yelled.

“Elina, else I’m gonna break it.”

He heard the door clicked. He quickly pushed the door open. Elina stood with her hands planted on her hips. He quickly grabbed her hands taking to the side. Scrutinizing her body for any injury.

“Why are you disturbing? I’m fine.”

“I heard you scream.”

She itched her neck.

“It was part of the plan.”

“What plan is that?”

“My own plan. Now I need go to back and tuck him properly in bed.” she ran back into the room. Kenzo followed her in. She covered him with the duvet cover and turned to kenzo. And he see the mark on neck. Hickey’s.

How dare the bastard. Touch her.

“Why did you let him touch you?” he barked angrily. She shivers in fright.

“So he could spill. Else he wasn’t ready to say anything.”

“What else happen, he f**k you as well.”

“Bastard!” she cussed and walked past him.

How could he think so little of her beside he asked her to do everything just to get an answer and there she was trying to please the unpleaseable bastard!

She marched down the hallway, she halted and pulled off her shoe and hurl it at him.

Kenzo caught it.

Was she mad?

She looks cute when she’s mad.

He half smiled. Turning to sambas.

“Let’s go.”

Sambas nodded. And they walked out of the rooms upstairs.

Her eyes met with Ray while she was leaving she gave him the coldest look ever and walked out of the bar.

Kenzo walked behind her with the shoes in his hands.

They got into the car without saying anything to each other. Aziel came in. And shut the door afterwards.

“I took her home. Lord Gilbert sent a word.”

“Which is?”

“If you hurt his daughter he would come for your life and hers. As well.”

“Didn’t you tell him he’s crazy? I’m waiting for the moment he would come for me. Let’s go.”

And they began driving, Elina had her gaze at the window and never once glance at her side, cause he was there. Looking at her.

She wasn’t gonna talk to him till he apologized for what he say to her.

He knew he shouldn’t have said that. But it just slip from his lips before he could stop himself.

What’s he gonna say now?

This was a bit awkward.

“Did you get what I asked?”

She looked at him. With a glare. He could hurt her. Just like he always did. Though she hated him this moment she couldn’t keep her mouth shut without replying him. He was the monster kenzo after all.

What was she expecting an apology, uhh, he would never give that to her.

A smile creep on her face all of a sudden, she did get the job done.

Though he was beginning to suspect her because of the questions she asked.

And when he knew she was part of kenzo she he jabbed him on his neck. Making him passed out.

He was an easy one. She had thought it would be difficult but it wasn’t. Maybe he wanted her to use him. Because he didn’t struggle with her or maybe he wanted to take the weight off his chest.

Maybe all he was looking for was someone to talk to. A friend and not an enemy.

“What did he say?”

She told him everything he said.

“A son?”

Why didn’t he know or heard about it? Does he has a secret son.

Brown and Sally, were they his parents. He had to find more about it.

“You did well. A date would do.”

He said looking away.

“A date? With you.”

“Yeah.”

“Anywhere you wanna go?”

Wasn’t he supposed to be sad, his mother left him alone. She didn’t bother to find him. Or know how he’s doing, a mother than didn’t care about her own son.

Perhaps she has begin another life, probably remarried.

“Anywhere would do.”

He nodded and smiled.

She felt her cheeks flushed. She could barely hide her excitement.

A date with Kenzo.

How is it gonna be?
