Lusting for An Ex-Convict

4.Feelings

CHAP 4

NELSONS’S POV

“Come on, it is just a ride,” I begged for her attention.

“I have said no, besides, I live not so far away from here,” She baffled walking away. Her hips were swinging from side to side seductively and I could feel myself rising.

Perfect, I would know where she lives today. I thought it would take me some time to get to know everything about her but I guess I was very wrong. Actually, I will conclude my revenge sooner than I thought.

“There are a lot of bandits in Nairobi streets at this time, if you insist on walking there, I will follow you to ensure you get home safely.” I hinted and she walked ahead pretending not to have heard what I had just stated yet she heard me clearly.

Elegance accommodation facility was just three streets away from the club we were in. She didn’t wave before she made her way to the building. I stood at a distance looking at her and I was relieved that she was safe. I know I shouldn’t care for her, after what she did but I couldn’t help it. She was such a beauty with a sexy body and failing to notice her could be an insult to females around the world.

The night was calm and the traffic was less. One or few couples made out in the streets and others just walked about in a hurry thinking of how to make extra cash for themselves. I kept staring at the motel till I saw light suddenly in one of the windows. I could tell it was her and I couldn’t wait to see the look on my dad’s face when I tell him that I had acquired all that information about her in a single night.

The beeping of my phone gave me the reality check to go home and that is exactly what I was going to do. My dad had sent me a text reminding me he was waiting on me and as a good son, I had to rush there.

I listened to the soft music playing on the stereo, Lean on me because it reminded me of Mary’s pure beauty and innocence. Mary was our house help when I was still a teenager. She was slightly older than me but her physique could tell you otherwise. She was very kind and I couldn’t help but fall in love with her.

We separated when I got the admission letter to join Harvard University to study Actuarial science but my heart did not stop loving her. I couldn’t wait to see her when I was done with my undergraduate studies.

That was short lived however when I got to learn that she had passed on when I got back to the country. There was a fire intentionally started in the company stores that crept up to the servant quarters where she lived. They managed to save other people but she was not among them. She died that painful death.

To date, my heart has never stopped feeling the pain. The wound is still fresh. I feel as if someone had poured a gasoline of petrol in my heart and set fire on it. Losing her broke my soul. I had kept my virginity to her and it is almost four years since I learnt about her death. I have never dated anyone or thought of the same. I wanted my Mary.

My dad took it upon himself to tell me the police findings. They found out that the cousin, Marian who had joined our family soon after I left was the one behind it all. My dad told me that she hated Mary for the reasons I cannot understand and that is why she took it upon herself to end their feud, by killing her.

I had waited for two years for Marian’s release. I knew if I avenge for Mary’s death, maybe my heart will feel less pain. This however is just f****d up because Marian and Mary look almost similar. Their alto voice with a little bass to it was the same and she had those strict rules like the way her cousin Mary did.

The more I stayed with her, the more I thought less about avenging for her cousins death. All I ever thought about was her beauty.

My dad was right about this, I should get done with my revenge as fast as I can lest I would ruin my plans. If I don’t carry out my revenge on her, then I would have wasted ten years of being with a happy family because all this years I had been obsessed with avenging for Mary’s death. I really have to do this real quick so that I can return her to jail where she belongs and when she is there, my heart will rejoice because I will know that wherever Mary is, she is proud of me.

Who knows, from there I might consider loving again, or If not, I will dedicate my life running my dad’s business.

The distance from town to Karen Estate where we live was quite long and by the time I got home, I was tired. My whole body was begging for rest.

“Son, “My dad mumbled as soon as I got to the house.

“Yes father, “I politely responded sitting next to him to hear what he had to say.

“Belinda, we need whiskey,” My dad shouted summoning our current house help. This was Mary’s job at that time.

“How did it go son?” He implored after sipping whiskey from a small tumbler.

“I have gotten to meet her and also where she lives. That will make the plan run smoothly in a short time,” I stammered. My dad was this successful man with a lot of accomplishments. He even received a state recommendation last year for being the first man to start an initiative to fight hunger

“I will be proud of you son when you are done with ruining her. Be careful with her, she can be a little witty. As I normally say, don’t mix business with pleasure, don’t even think about falling in love with her.” My dad warned and a swarm of butterflies danced in the pit of my stomach. He was strict and I was kind of afraid of him. I loved him because he was my perfect mentor. If he has chosen to support me in the revenge, then I was not going to let him down.

What about the feelings that were creeping up inside me?
