Before Charles could leave the room Rose fell down on her kneels and held his legs and begged in tears.
"Please Charles, please I know you are doing this for me but please you already know that I so much want to do the best for my son and my son is here watching this. I promise I will never get to do anything that will jeopardize what we have shared in the past. You gave me a helping hand and I betrayed that helping hand which you stretched forth to take me in. I'm so sorry that this man had to take me away from you and turned me into something I hate now yet I can't deny the fact that he is still the father of my child and my unborn child" When she said this it just occurred to Charles that she was pregnant. He stared at her for a while and said, "You are pregnant and he beats you still?" He wanted to know and she nodded. "And you still vouche for him?" he asked and she kept mute. "I want him dead" he concluded but she refused to leave his leg as she held it tighter and kept on pleading. Her son, Abel held his leg and begged too. Charles stared at the little boy and smiled at him, then reached out and carried him up. The mother stood up and wiping her tears she sat down.
"I love you son and I know your mother loves you too. Because of you I will pardon your father" he then dropped him and turning to his mother he said, "But you will stop marrying him after today. You will file for a divorce and he will sign it. When he does sign it you will be returning to the company. Your skill is needed. We need you Rose" He said and Rose wasn't sure what to say but she knew he had given his best and he was not going to go any more with his offer.
"Sir" she was saying even though she wasn't sure what next to say.
"Rose, let's not drag it further. Just do what I have asked you to do and make sure you do it" he then wanted to step out but stopped and turning to her he spoke in his dialect which he was sure she could understand, "If you don't divorce him after today I am going to look for him and I will shoot him dead. I know you wouldn't want that. So if you want him alive dissolve your marriage with him" He then walked out and Rose stood up and followed him.
Inside the torture room where Kelvin was being tortured severely he kept screaming ontop of his voice while Jude worked on him. For a while it was clear if he was tortured the more he would die. Just then Charles entered and standing at the door he asked Jude, "What else remains before his menu is done?"
"Two" Jude said.
"I don't think he will carry it. Loosen him and bring him out" Charles then stepped out. Ken and Jude bundled him outside and Rose who had been asked to wait inside the car stepped down, leaving her son inside. She rushed to her husband and held him but Charles seeing what she did drew his gun and shot Kelvin twice in the head and he fell dead. Rose started shouting ontop of her voice as she cried. Ken took the corpse away and Jude held Rose down while she kept struggling. Charles walked away. When the boy Abel stepped down he was not sure what had happened but then he remained standing there watching his mum roll on the floor.
That evening Charles didn't go to his house, he headed to a hotel where he wanted to cool his head off. Ofcouse Ken had taken Rose and her son Abel to a different house where he made sure they were not leaving and kept five men to guard her there. He then left the house and headed to the hotel where Charles was lodging and when he got there and knocked on the door the door was opened and Charles welcomed him in.
"Boss, I'm done with what you asked me to do, now I want to retire home" said Ken.
"I can understand Ken. Be sure as well that the police would want to know what happened to Mr Kelvin, you need to contact the IG of police and inform him to take this case off his record as I handled it myself" Ken saluted him in understanding and then left. Charles was about to lay down on the bed when suddenly his phone rang and when he looked at it it was Veronica. He picked it and heard her voice over the phone sounding as someone that was in trouble.
He rushed outside and mounted his car. He drove through the street of the hotel until he got to the spot where Veronica was standing and he asked her to enter and immediately she entered he reversed and zoomed off at once.
Back inside the hotel room they entered and she sat down on the bed and kept crying. He walked up to her and holding her by the shoulder comforted her.
"I didn't want to do that, I mean he didn't leave me a choice" she cried.
"It wasn't your fault it happened. He tried to make a silly move on you and you were just defending yourself" he said.
"I was defending myself but...but he died in the process. I killed him" she covered her mouth with both hands as she cried.
"No, you are not a killer, he was and he got what he deserved trying to force himself on you. Now here is the thing, you will stay here and calm yourself while I come back. Make sure you don't leave the hotel room" he said and she nodded. He then got down and headed outside. An hour later he returned and went straight to the bathroom. Veronica waited for him to come out as she was inquisitive to know what had happened. When he stepped out he ordered for tea and the hotel attendant brought in tea for Veronica and she took it.
"Take it and have a rest. We will talk tomorrow" he said to her and then laid down to rest too. She stared at him and wondered what he was doing; wasn't he going to insist the she slept with him. She wondered. She took the tea almost in a gulp and then retired to bed.
The next day and in the morning they both woke up almost at the same time and he said to her, "I will be going to the office. If you would like to spend few more days here you can as I have paid for extra days" He dressed up and she kept watching him. He was a very handsome man, gentle too but one would doubt if they were told that this same handsome and gentle man could kill twenty people in a twinkling of an eye they would doubt. He looked at her and asked, "You have something to tell me?" she shook her head and just said thank you. He smiled at walked out. She went to the window and saw him enter his car and drive off. She returned to her bed and as she sat down her mind went back to when she had an encounter with a man that tried to force himself on her and she had to kill him.
He had just come out of a cyber and was heading to where she would take a cab to where she had packed her car and when she got a cab that night and was heading with it to where she packed her car she suddenly heard the driver murmuring before be then came to a halt. The driver had been smoking and she had had not the desire to caution him as she was sure it wouldn't be long before she left his car for him and enter hers but when she stopped the car she wondered what the problem was. He got down and went to the bonnet of the car and she too got down after having to sit there for a while. She asked to know what was happening and the driver asked her to come to the front of the car and hold something for him. She had thought since he was trying to fix whatever was wrong with the car it would just be nice of her if she would go and help him out. When she had gone to the front and he asked her to help him in holding the bonnet of the car up while be worked on the inside of the bonnet. She held the bonnet and was waiting for him to bend over and work whatever he wanted to work but the driver instead came behind her and raised her gown up and was trying to force himself inside of her. She let go of the bonnet and it smacked on the engine of the car and she turned and gave him a resounding slap across the face. The driver held his face for a while before he smiled. It was at that moment that Veronica realised she had messed up; she could have noticed before now that the place they were at was lonely and even if she shouted no one would hear her and so she knew she had been left to her own fate and whatever happened to her would be her own to bear. She immediately seized a rod from the bonnet and pointed it at him and threatened to hit him with it if he continued to come near her but the driver wasn't perturbed by the threat as he felt she must be joking. He moved against her this time and she swung the rod at him. He had dodged the rod the first time but when he made another attempt she was able to hit him on the shoulder. The driver grinned and reared in pain before be pounced on her. The rod fell off her hand and she fell to the ground. The man then mounted her and was trying to force himself inside her. She grabbed the rod which had fallen beside her and swung it so hard against his head, particularly at the temple of his head and blood gushed from there. The driver fell to the ground but his hand was still holding onto her dress. Disgusted by that hand she hit him so hard on the arm and his arm fell off. She then went further to hit him on the head until she was sure he was dead and she dropped the rod on the floor and looked around. It was at that moment that she realised she had killed someone actually. She took few steps backwards and realizing she needed help searched for her phone and dialed Charles's number.
Now while still inside the hotel she brought out her laptop and searched to hear or read any news of any cab driver that must have died on a roadside of the place she had gone to but there was nothing there. She wondered what Charles did and how he handled the situation.
Charles got back to his house and saw that Veronica had called him. He called her back and heard her asking him if he was not coming to the hotel where he left her but Charles was very tired. He had decided to let Veronica make her own decision on whether she wanted him or not. He knew if she was for him then he would find him and there was nothing anyone could do about it. He decided to visit her in the hotel and hear what she had to say.
