Angelina

Episode 14

” Angelina??? ” Nickel now starts putting all the pieces together. ” But dad,how did you know all
this? How come you know this? ”.
” Just be carful of that girl. When am sure of what she really is…then I will surely not stand in your
way… ”. Mr Brandon said and left.
Nickel walked to the sturdy room and took an envelope and stepped outside the estate.

(Angelina’s Mansion).
I was in the hall,thinking of what Queen Marina said. I had three things ti worry about.

1. The fact someone was searching for me and I don’t know who it was..
2. The fact that Queen Marina threatened to kill Katherine if I don’t give a full gallon of blood in
   seven days or kill Mr Brandon.
3. And the fact that Mr Brandon mentioned my name.

I was worked up and my Brauns were burning up. I was co fused more than ever.

As all this thoughts swam through my head,I heard another knock on the door and I stood up to
open,and it was Nickel. I was surprised. I didn’t understand why any time I saw his face,my heart
just skipped a beat. But as usual, I had to remember the oath I made in the marine kingdom and
act tough on every guy that came my way. This was very unlike me. I used to be a free cheerful
and happy girl,but now….it seemed like there was something inside me which was controlling me.

” Hello Angelina… ” Nickel said and he wasn’t smiling.

” Hi…how may I help you? ”I replied and also didn’t smile.

” I knew it wa you….Angelina. Don’t you remember me at all? ”. He said surprisingly.
” What do you mean? ”. I said intentionally.
” You remember a year ago? I mistakenly literally was about to knock you down by my car? You
held some !market goods? ”. He said and his smile was becoming visible.

” Hahahaa…yeah. Oh my God..Nickel! I nearly forgot you. Wow,I can’t believe this! ”. I said.
” Wow…you’ve changed so much from what I saw a year ago beautiful ”. He said. ” Do you own
thus big house? ”.

” I urrrmmm..I errr..I..I….I am just….”. I kept stammering.

And fortunately and luckily for me…three expensive black cars entered my compound and three of
the ladies from the cult came out,including Lady Nash. It was Lady Nash, Lady Slay and Lady
Chutka. They were in very expensive revealing clothes and what their eyes saw,they didn’t like.

They climbed the entrance stairs and got to Nickel and I.

I se the shock on Nickel’s face when he saw this ladies coming to me. They also looked back at
him with horrible faces and they walked pass me into the room.

” Who are those? ”. He asked.
” Well…those are..urrrmmm…they are my friends. Look,I have to go now okay? I guess we’ll chat
later ”. I said and was about entering the room.
” Wait! Please, relax okay? Here,this is an invitation to my birthday party tomorrow night ”. He said
and handed a white envelope to me.
” Okay. But I thought your father was holding a half night service tomorrow evening? ”. I said.
” Yeah…but hey..am not such a church person. Tomorrow is my birthday too..and I got to
chill,right? ”. He said with a smile.
” Of course…”. I said and returned the smile.
” Wow…smile that way all the time beautiful. It brings your beauty out ‘. He said and left.
I went back inside the hall and saw the ladies seated and chatting with a wine glass on their lips. I
placed the envelope down and sat opposite them.
” Hello Ladies. What do I owe to you this surprise visit? ”. I asked.

” Who was that guy Lady Sona? ”. Lady Chutka asked.

” His name is Nickel ”. I replied.
” And I thought, I gave you a warning about that guy Angelina!!! ”. Lady Nash snapped angrily.
” Hey..girl,relax. Okay? Chill…I wasn’t doing anything wrong with him,was I? ”
” No you weren’t! But our rules,even forbids us to look into a man’s direction! ”. Lady Slay added.

” Our rules said,we shouldn’t fall in love! It didn’t say we shouldn’t speak to a man ”. I threw back.

” Oh…so are you now going to teach us the rules? Remember, that I was the one who introduced
you into the cult,not the other way around ”. Lady Nash said.
” I know. But you don’t even know why I was speaking to that guy ”. I said.

” So tell us then….what’s your purpose on talking with him? Have you forgotten, that his father is
the Almighty Pastor Brandon?! ”. Lady Nash asked.

” Queen Marina layed me a visit. She’s giving me an assignment to eliminate that Mr Brandon! ”. I said with worry.

” Oh my goodness! But,we all tried but failed…and we all layed the price for it. I loosed my mother
because I couldn’t kill Mr Brandon. So what’s on your part? ”. Lady Chutka said.
” If am not able to kill Mr Brandon, then
Katherine would pay the price for it. So am doing all I can to eliminate him.. And by so,I have to
use his son! Do you girls understand now? ”. I lied.

” Wow Angelina! You’re such a devil,you’re even worse than us…that’s a smart move girl,go for it!

”. Lady Nash endorsed me.

Nickel is such a good human being… There was no way I would involve him in this crazy things.
He helped me when I needed it some time back. I was now beginning to feel guilty. And I was
going insane, how am I going to do this? What have I started???

It seemed I was biting more than I can chew. This was so difficult. But how would I protect
Katherine now? I had a decision to make. Mr Brandon or my Katherine? The ladies and I had a
great time,drinking and chatting and they left me. The day w my second day to hunt for another
girl. So just like I did before, I did it again,and had a white gallon for the snake to vomit the blood in
it. It wasn’t even half a gallon yet. I placed it in a room I have locked.
Back home in the evening, I took Katherine in my arms and spent mummy and daughter’s time. I
fed her and made the maid put her to sleep. I went to my bedroom and opened my wardrobe.
There were too much clothes,I didn’t know what to choose from. I searched into it and selected
one of my most expensive party dresses. I chose it and threw it onto the bed.
It was a light pink short straight and tight dress. I had never worn it. But I decided to take that to
Nickel’s party. He recognised me…oh my goodness. Nickel was going to be the only one at the
party,with all his friends and not Mr Brandon. I remembered what he said about my smile and I
smiled myself. If uncle Tom hadn’t destroyed my life…I wouldn’t be here.
I had to set a date to pay them a surprise visit. I will destroy them..one after the other. And I will
start from Ellen. My cousin Ellen who took my room,my clothes and everything and treated me like
a slave. Maybe Ellen should be my next blood target. I would make her suffer than everyone else.

I switched on my bedroom television and again I saw myself, being tagged as a missing person
and I was unimpressed. I took the number which was being used and made a call to the radio
office.
” Hello?…Good evening ”. I said.
” Hello…madam good evening ooo ”. The unknown voice replied.

” I was watching TV and saw a picture of Angelina Jordan being tagged a a missing person… ”. I
said.

” Oh yes yes madam. A woman came to our office to make that request from us. Please canyou
help us? ”. He asked.
” Who is the woman who brought the request? ”. I asked curiously.
” She said her name was…….Gina Flair ”….

I quickly hanged up. I wa shocked. Aunty Gina has come to Africa? And she’s searching for me. I
was saddened and disappointed. It WS too late. I had already sold my soul to the devil.

(Brandon’s Mansion=In the hall).
Gina is hugging Nickel tightly and wishing him a happy birthday in advance.
” Thank you for coming before the party aunt ”. Nickel said.

” Of course nephew. You know I wo t miss it for anying! ”. Aunt Gina said.
” Ei Gina. So where’s my brother in-law your husband? ”. Mr Brandon said.

” Hahaha…I know you are vexed brother. But your brother in law will also land here tomorrow
morning ”. Aunt Gina replied.
” Better for him. I miss hI’m already ”. Mr Brandon added.
” But I actually came her for a specific reason. My late friend’s daughter is missing and am
searching for her ”. Aunt Gina said.
” Oh my God. How,what happened? ”. Mr Brandon asked.

” It’s a long story brother…I will explain later ”. She replied.

” What’s her name aunt? ”….Nickel asked…
