ALL FOR MONEY

ALL FOR MONEY EPISODE SIXTEEN

Episode 16

He grabbed my hand and pulled me back, I landed in his arm. He looked at me in the eyes and smiled. I wandered in his eyes pretty confused. What was he doing?

Jeremy: dance with me

He said holding on to my waist and started moving as if he was hearing some music that I wasn't feeling from my end.

Me: dance, to what music?

He smiled again. I wasn't certain of these games be was playing because I knew where we would end up. I didn't want to end up feeling things that i couldn't be in control of. Jeremy was quite charming and easy to get along with and for some reason i felt like i would end up falling for him but wasn't it bad enough that my mother in law thought Jeremy and I killed Richard so that we could be together?. He insisted and to be honest i was curious to know what he was really trying to do..

Jeremy: shhhhh! Relax your mind and close your eyes.. you will hear it.

I shifted my gaze from his and he turned my face towards his again.

he held my waist and pulled me closer pressing his chest against mine. He lowered his head and when i opened my eyes, he was staring at me and I could feel my heart beat so fast. This was really awkward especially for me. We started dancing. when I was growing up, I listened to a different genre of music with very vigorous dancing which by the way I could dance perfectly but this was different, I kept stepping on his toes and it was embarrassing but he didn't let go. He smiled and kept moving...

His breath was warm and it had been a while since anyone looked at me the way he did. His stare made me weak and I had butterflies in my stomach. I tried to pull away from his hold but he didnt let go..

Me: Jeremy we can't,

Jeremy: actually we can. who knows what will happen when we attack Bosco, we might end up dead and I would like your lips to be the last thing I taste before then.

maybe he was right, this felt so wrong especially with the fact that I had burried my husband a few weeks ago but at the same time it felt so good to be wrapped up in his arm. The heat on his body made me sweat as I grew weak and let loose pushing all the worries and doubts at the back of my mind.

he traced the sideline of my cheek with his finger then to my lips. He raised my face then bent as he brushed his lips on my cheeks and slightly bit my lip sending shivers down my spine.

Him teasing me brushing his lips all over my face made me feel the need to kiss him so passionately. I reached out and pulled his mouth to mine planting a wet kiss on his lips. He kissed me back so gently and carefully, Jeremy was a good kisser compared to Richard. No one ever kissed me like he did that moment..

I pushed him back and we landed on the couch.

I kissed his neck, nibbled his ears as I cared him all over his body before he rolled over and lay on his back. The kissing had become more passionate and vigorous that he started moaning in a low tone that somehow turned me on even more but on second thought, I felt the need for us to slow down lest God decided to send lightning to strike us both dead for attempting to forget about Richard so fast.

I lay on his chest as I unbuttoned his shirt to take another look at his tattoo. it was beautiful. I drew on it with my finger as he ran his fingers on my braids. i felt a bit of guilt for kissing Jeremy but I knew it was only a matter of time before that happened. whenever we looked into each other's eyes, there were tiny sparks that just waited to be ignited. I took a deep breath and attempted to get up but he pressed me on his body gently rubbing my back.

Me: you know we have a Bosco to kill and a place to burn down right?

Jeremy: yeah, I can't believe you are thinking of another man when am right here.

I smiled and pinched his nose.

Jeremy: Bosco and his goons can wait. you have never told me what you want to do with your life after this revenge thing is over.

Me: that's because you have never asked.

Jeremy: well, am asking now.

Me: I would like to go away for sometime. was thinking of going to Dubai, Australia or even Russia just far away from here to have time for myself before i figure out what to do with my life

Jeremy: And far away from me too?

I raised my head from his chest and looked into his eyes.

Me: it will only be for a while.

He was silent more like what I said did made him sad but he didn't say

me: why did you ask?

Jeremy: No good reason, I was just curious.

our little heart to heart was interrupted by a phone call. it was my phone so I got up from Jeremy's embrace and took the phone from the table.

The call was from the orphanage and madam Florence asked to see me immediately. madam Florence was the only mother figure I and the other children at the orphanage had. she was so good to me that there was nothing I wouldn't do for her. she made sure I never lacked anything I needed as long as she could provide it.I had been sending them money once in a while to help run the orphanage and she Normally called to say thank you. I thought this was just another thank you call untill I heard the tremble in her voice. something was wrong.

Jeremy agreed to my proposal of going to the orphanage first then meeting in an hour to finish off Bosco and his team as planned earlier.

I went to the bedroom took a jacket and as I was about to walk out the door. Jeremy blocked my way and kissed me one last time before asking me to be careful out there I nodded as I opened the door and left. I took Richard's car, yes, the one I got from the garage and drove off. a few minutes into my driving, a van came at a very high speed and blocked my way. I made an emergency break almost driving into the van then attempted to reverse the car but the guys had already jumped out of the van. I hadn't carried a gun, I wanted to be the same sweet girl Florence raised.

the guys pointed a guy at me and ordered me to get out and in this case I had no other option but to cooperate and so I did.

No questions were asked, no one talked but all they did was grab me and push me into the van. my mouth was sealed with a tape to prevent me from screaming.

the van I was in was the same van that mercy had seen at my botique before as the guys jumped out and set the place on fire. she had taken a photo and sent it to my phone asking if I knew whose van that was. These were Bosco's men and from the look of things, he was tired of waiting.

we got to the site at around 7:00am, the van pulled over and parked at the entrance of the unfinished building. one of the guys had driven my car to the same place.

the door to the van opened and I was pushed out. I was led inside with a gun pressed on my back.

when I got in, Bosco was seated on his chair with his legs on the table and when he saw me, he sat up.

Bosco: sit!

I sat on the empty chair infront of him with his boys surrounding us.

Bosco: it's been way past seven days, infact it's been a month and some weeks, where is the money?

I was quiet. I had alot of things going on in my mind. I was worried about Jeremy he was stuck at home waiting for me to get back yet here I was already captured by Bosco's men, then there was Florence. why was she so tensed and why did she need to see me urgently?

I got a hot slap that awakened me from my thoughts.

Bosco: where is the money?

Me: I don't have it.

Bosco: what did you say?

Me: I said I don't have it. you burned all of it inside the botique.

Bosco: No no no, you are not serious!

He banged the table so hard then reached for a gun that was inside his drawer. He came closer and put the gun inside my mouth and looked me in the face.

Bosco: I have been so patient with you, maybe I should just kill you once and for all.

As he was still debating on whether or not he should pull the trigger Jeremy walked in from nowhere, his presence surprised me too but he acted like he didn't know me..

Jeremy: Boss, you kidnap women too?

Bosco: This is not an ordinary woman. she owes me alot more than her life is worth.

Jeremy walked towards him then turned to face me.

Jeremy: who is she?

He asked pretending we had never met before and he looked around like he was trying to figure it out..

Bosco: forget about who she is. the important question should be how do I get my 30million from her?

Jeremy: 30 what?

Bosco: you heard me right.. thirty million, but she thinks she is smart...

bending and looking me in the face.

Jeremy: where is the money?

I spat on his face and as a result I got another slap from Bosco.

Jeremy took a few steps back and leaned on the table that was behind him. Bosco handed Jeremy the gun and he took it unsure of what to do with it.

Bosco: I don't think she will ever tell us where the money is. DJ?

Jeremy: yes,

Bosco: Kill her!

He looked at me then at him...

Jeremy: what?

Bosco: I said kill her, right now!......
