Angelina

Episode 18

My soul was straggling to come out. I couldn’t believe my eyes were actually seeing this day. I
screamed out loud in horror but my voice didn’t go anywhere. My legs was shaking and sweating.
I was unbelieved. The blood kept floating from their bodies like rain. I slipped through the gate and
fell down on my butt in tears. Nothing had hurt me so much before. How could Queen Marina do
this to me?

How could she break our deal and kill someone so dear to me? But what did I do wrong? Anger
and hatred throbbed themselves in me. And with this agony and thoughts swimming through my
body,Queen Marina and all the ladies appeared at my sight.
I was enraged. Queen Marina raised her hands and lightening snatched both the maid and
Katherine away. They disappeared completely with no trace of them.

” You! How could you do this? ”. I gnashed my teeth.

” So…. You have now made that pastor Brandon your friend… and his son,your partner. What did
you expect, after disobeying me? ”.
” I was only there for my aunt! Nothing more ”. I wept.

” Shut up! You are supposed to be the Lady you have sold your soul to be. You belong to us now
Lady Sona! Now this is your last chance! ”. Queen Marina roared.

” I don’t care about what you do to me anymore! In have nothing to loose! I can’t kill Mr Brandon! ”.
I shouted.

” Hahaha….is that what you think? You think you have nothing to loose? If you dare me,I will make
your life a living hell…and give you such a punishment and a painful death ”.
” I’m daring! I was thinking you were the one to help me out of my problems, but I guess I was
mistaking! You’ve killed my daughter! ”. I sobbed.

” That’s what you think….I give you just a month! Eliminate that pastor because his prayer’s being
disturbing me for ages. Eliminate him! Or I take the life of your favourite cousin that you love so
much! I know Danby is his name and I will eliminate him before your even know! ”. She said and
they disappeared.

Oh my word! It was true,Danny is also one very important person in my life. My life is over. But it
won’t be over until my revenge is over. I went to the bath house and brought out a mob,water. I
cleaned the whole room.

I would never forget this day. And that lawyer of my father…he dared to connive with my aunt and
uncle Tom to snatch what was mine. I wouldn’t spare him either. After cleaning, my eyes didn’t
close until it was day break.

(Brandon’s Mansion=8am)
It was one day break and aunt Gina’s husband Mr Kenneth had arrived in the mansion in his black
clothes and red…proving he cried the last night with the news of his wife’s departure. The men
gathered together to plan a funeral for aunt Gina,and also talk about whatever poison there is that
Gina had taken inside.

” Take heart Ken…everything will be okay. Let’s just do it funeral arrangement as soon as possible

”. Mr Brandon said.

” I have gathered and arranged everything brother in-law. I will never love anyone than I loved
your sister! ”. Mr Kenneth cried.
” It’s okay Ken…am even disappointed in myself… Not being able to see what would happened to
Gina….with all the power God’s given me ”.
” Did you say the doctor spoke about poison? ”.

” Yes uncle. He didn’t really give much information. But all he said was that…aunty Gina had
consume a dangerous poisonous substance ”.

” But Nickel… Yesterday was your birthday party….was everything intact? ”. Mr Kenneth asked.

” Haha….oh come on uncle… You don’t! Dan that it was actually my party’s food poison. Come
on…we’d all be dead by now…dad and I too ”. Nickel said.

” Hmmm…yes you’re right nephew. Forgive me for that. I am actually confused about everything
right now. Any way…you said you wanted to tell me something else? ”.
” Yes Kenneth… Do you know…one Angelina? ”.

” Hmmmm…Angelina. Yes. I know her. Her parents used to visit Gina and I in abroad. Why? Any
problem? ”.

” Well…..how well do you know her? ”.
” Not that much. You know am always a busy person David. Her mother and Gina were close
friends. There even got some time where Angelina’s mother,Katherine brought some documents
to Gina to keep so that when they are not there…she’d take responsibility for Angelina. But why all
this question? ”.

” You see dad?!!! I told you that you were confusing about your vision! Angelina is just an innocent
girl! ”..Nickel snapped.

” Hey shut up! You no nothing about the spirit okay?! ”. Mr Brandon shouted.
” What what’s going on here? ”. Mr Kenneth asked?

” Kenneth… That girl’s sold her soul to the devil… And I don’t want anything to with her! ”.

” Hahahaaa….what?! David… That girl’s just 13 years old brother. What are you talking about? ”.

Mr Kenneth asked in wonder.

” Whether 13 or not,it’s not my problem… In fact,I need you to search through Gina’s things,get
those documents and brig it to me right now,so I can give it back to them ”.
” Dad…you are a man of God…you don’t have to ”….

” That’s my final decision. You’re not going to be with her ”.
Nickel angrily left the study room.

(Angelina’s Mansion).
I was so lonely and worked up. The entire house was empty. I needed to start my revenge. I stood
on my feet and took a col shower. After that,I dressed up and put some make up on. I had to get
Danby out of my plans and deal with the rest.
I stepped out on the compound and locked my gate. I opened my car door and entered then drove
outside,when the car reached the street, Nickel waked to the front and I stopped and stepped out
from the car in anger. In real anger for that matter.

” What the hell?!!! What if I had knocked you down with my car?! ”.
” Would anything have changed at all Angelina?! ”.

That question he asked was so shocking to me because he already looked upset when walking
towards my side.

” What do you mean by that? Now get out fo my way because I need to leave! ”.
” What’s so important today that you need to leave for? Where’s a 13 years old giro going out
there in such a car? ”.

” How..how did you know….”. I was stammering at the fact he new my age.
” My aunt told me everything about you Angelina! And I myself saw you a year ago Angelina…

you’ve changed so much Angy. What happened to you Angelina? ”. He asked in lovely mood.

” Get out of my sight now Nickel, you don’t have any eight to ask me that! I have my rights! ”. I
screamed at him with mixed emotions.
” Why Angelina, what has make you so angry? Angelina… Please let me help you. Please accept
me in your life ”.

” Did you not hear what I said?! What’s wrong with you?! Your father has warned me to stay away
from you! And am simply keeping my distance from you…so just leave my sight! ”. I said,pointing
at the way of their mansion.

” I am not going to listen to what my father will say. I…I…I had wanted to tell you something ”.

” Speak up and let me leave! ”.
” Is it true …..tell me the truth Angelina… are you a member of the devilish marine kingdom? ”.

I was so shattered and I couldn’t stand on my legs. I was suddenly downhearted. I was weak and I
saw that my secret was coming out little by little.

” Tell me Ange……”. He was about taking it far when I turned to enter the car when he grabbed my
arms.

” Leave me alone! ”. I slapped him real hard.

And when I thought my slap would be enough to get him off my back…Nickel glued my body to his
and kissed me on the lips. His lips were so soft. They awoken the dead part of me. A part I never
wanted to have this feeling. The kiss was so intense and magnetic.

I couldn’t push away from him or push him away from me either. Yes I was 13. But uncle Tom
opened my innocence too soon and made me a woman with force. And that’s threason why I have
stepped out today. To also go and force his death to come to come to him. And as I came back to
reality and pushed him way.

” Wow…oh my God, your lips are so sweet ”. He whispered jokingly.
” Shut up! I’ll report you for sexual harassment if you do that again! ”.
” I’m willing to go to jail for you angel. Because I love you ”.

” From this day forward…. Don’t come close to me else….”.
” Else your Queen would kill me?! ”.
” I can see your powerful father has told you everything and update you about my life ”. I
arrogantly said.

” So..so it was true afterall? ”. He was shocked and unbelieved.

” Yes! Yes yes yes!!! It’s true,so stay way from me Nickel Brandon. Please! ”. I turned to enter the
car and he turned me to him again.
” Wait Angelina! Who made you like this princess? Let us help you out Angelina. Please
Angy,pleas! I love you so much,I don’t want to loose you! ”.

I freed myself from him and drove away. Tears had rained upon me while driving. I didn’t know
what to think anymore. I was devastated, just thinking about the kiss. I drove so speed, heading to
a whole new different neighbourhood. I wept in the car and everything Nickel said was pushing me
back.

But there was no way I would change my mind. I had put my hands in the lion’s mouth. I was
going forward to take my revenge. I arrived at the Benz Estate. I drove and arrived in front of my
father’s mansion. I stepped out in my very high heel,I looked completely an adult.
I was so ready. I knocked on the main gate and a dark man opened the door in dirty clothes.

” Hello madam ”. He greeted politely.
” Hi. Please,who are you? ”. I asked.
” No,who are you? Are you looking for someone? ”.

” Urerrmmmm…yes. Is the family who owns this house around? ”.

” I’m sorry. They went out madam ”.
” To where please? ”.

” I can’t release that informatuon madam. Unless ypou tell me who you are. Do you know this
family? ”.

” Well…I am a member of their church. The Jehovah’s Witness. And I’ve been sent to deliver a
message to them ”. I said.

The man looked at me from head to toe…not very sure of what i said because of my dressing.

” From Jehovah’s Witness? ”.
” Yes. May I know who you are? ”.
” I am the gateman here madam ”.
” Oh okay ”.

” They’ve gone to see a lawyer. I don’t know why though. But if you care to know,they left their
young daughter here ”.

I asked the man to call her and he did. Ellen stepped out and she wasn’t really looking really nice
like she used to. I wondered. And she didn’t recognise me. She stared at me like some stranger. I
didn’t really mind at all. In fact,she was just the person I was looking for.
I hated her so much with passion.
” Hello Ellen…”. I said with a smile.
” Who are you? ”.
” Can you let your gateman excuse us please? ”.
” Musa…go inside ”.

The gateman entered the house and I removed a huge sum of money and showed it to Ellen.

” Wow! That’s huge… I have not seem this kind of money in months! Who are you? ”
” Can you walk me to my car so I can introduce myself better? I have very good news for you ”.

” Wow! I love good news. Let’s go miss ”.
We walked to my car. I pretentiously removed a strong antidote and sprayed it on her face. She
screamed and collapsed. I dragged her into the backseat and drove speedily away. She’ll never
forget what I will do to her for as long as she lives….
