CHAPTER-36

The Langford's mansion**

Sophia walked into the house with a wicked smug smile on her lips.

She stood for a while and the smile disappeared when she remembered Carlos words.

"He transferred the video to safe places?, Where could it possibly be?, His house?" She thought and left the house again.

"I'll drive myself, get out" she said to her driver when she got into the car.

She started driving to Carlos house then she suddenly thought about something.

She got her phone and made a call to her men

"Have you guys burnt the body?" She asked

"No queen, we were just about to set it"

"Oh cool, bring his body to his house right now" she replied

" Yes queen"

She hung up and stopped the car, she stared at a house for long and when she's sure that no one is watching, she snuck into the open balcony and took a scarf from the drying line which she used to cover her face.

She got in the car and continued the drive to Carlos house.

She got there after a while and her guards are already waiting.

"Take in his body" she ordered and they obeyed.

"Any copy of the video he kept will be in here, I just need to get rid of everything" she thought and entered the kitchen, she got the gas and put it on before going out with the guards.

She was handed a lighter, she strike it on and threw it in the house, it blew up right in front of her eyes and she laughed.

"No one gets in my way ... Too bad you messed with the wrong person Carlos...well your soul should rest in perfect peace, I enjoyed your eight years of loyalty" she said and laughed again before walking into her car.

" Erase any evidence that can make it look like murder" she said

" Yes queen" her men bowed and left.

She held the steering wheel and glared. "Sophia is in heaven.... Sonia will take care of Langford's conglomerates, I own it now, no one else!" She said and hit her hand heavily on the steering.

Game room**

The Langford's mansion**

"So, you're saying I won't be able to escape till the engagement day?" Seth asked

" Think about it, that's the only day you'll leave this house to go for the engagement, I'll arrange gangsters who'd come get you on your way to the engagement" Rowen replied.

" Talking about gangsters, I remember my lifestyle two years ago" Seth said

" Is it what I'm thinking?" Rowen said suspiciously

" Exactly what you're thinking jerk" Seth said sadly

"You were once a gangster?" Rowen asked shockingly

" Sure, I was a member of HELL BOYS gang back then" he replied

"No wonder you fight so well" Rowen said

" I was just seventeen back then, but I found it thrilling...you know, going out and coming in anytime I want, smoking and doing drugs" he said

Rowen came closer and stayed in front of him before bending over. "You must have killed a lot" he whispered and Seth pushed him away

" I never killed throughout my membership, boss would always want me to...but I always avoided it, cos I found it creepy. Our gang's speciality is rape" he replied

" What!, You've raped before?" Rowen said.

"No, anytime they're going for gang rape, I never go with them, I find it irritating, I slept with many girls back then but trust me they all had a crush on me cos of my handsome face, I raped no one, they agreed willingly" Seth replied

" So...you were even worse, can't believe this" Rowen said, still in shock.

" But it only lasted for six months, all the fun and carefree life....it ended one night at JK'S clubhouse when I helped a girl, my life changed drastically, I can never forget what happened after that, it wasted one year of my life" Seth said with a regretful smile.

" What exactly happened?, What help are you talking about?, What happened after the help?, I'm so curious!" Rowen said and Seth stood.

" Can we continue talking about the escape plan?, Can't just wait to be with pretty again" he said and Rowen sighed.

" I'll arrange gangsters like I said so on your way to the engagement, you'll be saved, we gat no problem with that, the engagement is six days away right?" Rowen said

" Yeah, by the way how's Cornell University treating you?" Seth asked.

" The girls are crazy over me but too bad ion fuck around anymore, if I'm still a fuckboy trust me pussy will be my daily meal, I mean.. Those girls are b*tches" he replied and Seth laughed lightly.

" Stop being a pussy" he said

" Stop being a dick and always laugh like you just did, your girlfriend will be ok" Rowen winked and Seth hit him playfully

" You changed...a lot" he said and Rowen frowned

"This again?, And why is everyone saying that to me" he said

" Well it's true, you're different from the Rowen I knew back then in WSU" Seth smiled and Rowen sighed.

" I need to go now, you can keep my phone with you but don't get caught" he said

" Really?, Then how will you make calls?" Seth asked

" Calls can wait till tomorrow, I'll get another phone for you tommorow, I'll bring it for you before travelling to Washington" Rowen said.

" To... Washington?" Seth said

" Yeah, I need to go see.... someone, I'll be coming back the day after tommorow" he said.

" Oh, Nadia?" Settled rolled eyes.

" I never said that you p*ssy" Rowen smirked.

" Get out....dick" Seth said and Rowen laughed as he left the room.

Seth sat back on the chair and smiled.

"Thanks for making me smile and even laugh... Rowen" he said.

"Hey" Petra blocked Rowen as he made his way down the stairs.

"Petra" he said

"Shh" she shushed, placing her pointer finger on her lips

"Follow me secretly, don't let the guards notice" she whispered and went upstairs.

Rowen smiled secretly and looked around, he waited for a minute before following her, entering the room she entered.

Immediately he entered, she grabbed him and kissed him forcefully and hardly, pushing him to the bed after a while.

He kissed back, smiling secretly as he did.

*Good Jesus I mustn't get caught*

Petra broke the kiss and sat straddled on him, he kept looking at her.

"I knew you'd taste so good, how tastier will you be down there" she said, licking her lips seductively.

She kissed him lightly again and got off him.

"I'm gonna give you all of me, I want you to make my p*ssy almost tear with your rod, a merciless f*ck, I want that" she said and started stripping herself.

*Now I know a dog once lived by the name Petra, and now she reincarnated as a human...* Rowen thought as he watched her strip

She kept smiling and biting down on her lips as she did, she stripped herself of everything and Rowen felt not even a single hardness.

*My self control got stronger* he thought as Petra walked nakedly to him.

She made to touch him but he held her hand and stood.

"What?, You don't like what you're seeing? " She said, trying to grab his d*ck in his trousers with her second hand but he held that too.

"Spell shame" Rowen whispered.

"Why?"

"Just do it" he replied

"S H A M E" she spelt and Rowen smirked.

" How come you know the spelling when you don't have it" he said and Petra gasped shockingly

He let go of her hands and wiped his lips with his fingers, he looked at her nakedness again and smiled.

"Were you an amoeba in your past life?, How come you're shapeless" he said and she covered her body with her arms.

"You're shameless and shapeless at a time, I'm sure you'd be tasteless too" he said and she sat on the bed.

" I f*ck dignified p*ssies, but too bad yours lack dignity" he said and she tightened her legs on each other.

He moved closer and bent over.

"If you were a dog, you'd even f*ck an elephant....tell me why my cute rod should get into you. Try harder next time but not on me cos the next time you try this on me, you'll know why I'm Rowen Bills the handsome son of handsome Mr Bills" he said and smiled before standing straight .

" You can go f*vk yourself" he said hatefully and left the room, he glanced at the lane before coming out.

"You want me to tear her p*ssy with...my rod?, Never knew my rod was a pair of scissors" he smirked before walking out of the house.

Washington**

Next day (Five days to the wedding**

W hospitals**

"Third exam written and you're yet to wake up" Jacinthe said sadly.

"We kept lying to your mum that you're always busy, I'm tired of lying" Nadia said 

" You girls should stop lamenting, she's ok, she'll be ok" Hardin said

" I want her to be ok right now" Jacinthe said

"She'll be" Blaine sighed, hugging Jacinthe to himself.

Nadia looked at Hardin. "Should we hug too?" He said

"F*ck you" she replied and he smiled.

" Nadia" Sapphire's faint voice called and they all rushed back to her bedside

"Baby fire!" Nadia said, Sapphire opened her eyes slowly and Jacinthe almost screamed.

"She's awake!"

"How long have I been here?" She asked slowly

"Today will be your third day" Clark said 

" My exams" she said sadly.

" You don't have to worry, our kind profs promised you'd retake them anytime you're fully ok" Nadia said.

She stopped talking for a while and held Hardin's hand.

"Can you help me .. find Seth?" She said and Hardin smiled.

" Lover girl, well he called" he replied and Sapphire spranged up.

" Ouch!" She winced, holding her hurting head.

" You should lay down please" Blaine said.

" You said my baby called, when?" She asked hastily, holding Hardin tighter.

"He's calling!" Nadia said, bringing out her phone which Sapphire snatched from her immediately.

"It's really Seth" he said, picking the video call quickly.

Her heart raced at the sight of him again....the guy she misses so much is staring at her right now, her one and only baby.

Seth looks shocked too, not expecting that she'd wake up yet.

"Sapphire..... am I really looking at your eyes right now?" He said, touching her face on the screen

" Seth" she whispered and started crying.

"Please....you can't start now, don't cry I don't want to see it" he replied.

"Seth I love you so much, please don't leave me for another girl" she said, still crying so much

" Do you want an answer to this?" He replied

"Right now" she said

" Then wipe your tears first" he replied and she did that.

" I love you more, and I'm not leaving you for any f*cking one, not possible sweetheart, not possible" he said

" Your engagement" she sniffed.

" I have plans ok?, I'm coming back to you soon, we can just elope to somewhere far and stay with each other, just the two of us" he said.

" Are you promising?" She replied, touching his face too.

" Trust me pretty" he replied.

"It felt like ages since I heard that name...I love you madly" she said

" I love you insanely Pretty eyes, and I'm sorry,you passed through a lot cos of me, it's all my fault" he said and started his own tears

" No it's not, you have no blames to claim" she quickly said.

" Heard you got into an accident that same day, and three days ago you got attacked too, all on the head, it must have been so hard" he cried

" Stop crying, do you want me to start crying too?" She said

" I just feel guilty, if I hadn't fallen in love with you, you wouldn't have passed through all that, and I even kept my true identity from you Sapphire, do I really deserve your forgiveness?" He said 

" Let's put everything behind, I once kept a secret from you before but you forgave me, so Seth... this is nothing, but from now on, let's not keep things from each other please" she said

" I promise" he replied

" I love you I love you I love you....I want to say that many times, I only realized how much I love you when you left, I felt empty" she said 

" It was same with me, I couldn't even think, I felt blank" he said and she smiled.

" You still look so handsome but pale, have you been eating well?* She asked

"How could I when you were suffering" he replied.

"I'm ok now that I've seen you even if not in person, this much is ok, I'll manage this till you come back to me, we can always video call like this right?" She said

" Sure, twenty four hours everyday" he replied and she smiled

" You need to eat right now" he said

"Yes, I feel so hungry" she said and Nadia came in

"When did you go out?" Jacinthe asked surprisingly

"When you were all staring at their confession" she replied and placed a food warmer in front of her along with juice.

"Enjoy" she said and Sapphire opened in

"Macaroons?, I love you Seth!" Sapphire screamed

"I got the macaroons but Seth got the love, unfair" Nadia muttered and everyone laughed.

" I'm eating" Sapphire said and started eating fast

"Easy, don't choke please" Seth said, smiling on the screen as he watched her eat.

" You need to eat too" she said

"After I finish watching you eat" he replied and Nora suddenly rushed in with tears in her eyes

"Michael!, The news!, The news!" She shouted tearfully.

" News?" 

" Carlos" she muttered and Seth faced the screen again

"Is everything ok?" Sapphire asked

"Give me just five minutes, I'll be back" he said and hung up before rushing out of the room with Nora.

They got to the living room where Petra was sitting with Sophia with their eyes glued on the TV.

📺 Carlos Holmes who's a worker for queen Sophia at the Langford's mansion has been found burnt till death at his house just this morning, the suspected cause of it was suicide but that was forfeited after the cops found an open gas dish in his burnt living room, the case has been reported as murder and thorough investigation will start immediately....

"Carlos!" Sophia said, standing up swiftly.

"No...no it can't be....no!!" Michael screamed.

"Carlos " Nora cried, bending slowly while crying more.

"Whoever did this will pay I swear!, get me my bag, I need to get to the station right now!" Sophia said and the maid obeyed, she took her bag and rushed out of the house.

Seth stood confusingly for almost ten minutes on his spot, crying slowly with red eyes while Nora cried in her position too.

"It's clearly murder, f*cking murder!, Carlos!!!" He cried.

Washington, W hospitals.. 5pm**

"Hey buddies!" Rowen said loudly, taking everyone by shock as he entered the Sapphire's ward

"Rowen?" Everyone chorused

"Rowen Bills, handsome son of handsome Mr Bills" he winked

" I can't believe this" Hardin said, rushing to him.

He touched his chest. "It's really you bastard" he grinned and quickly hugged him

"I'm keeping my hugs for my future girlfriend so get off me" he replied and Hardin tightened it

" Ass.hole" he said

" Jerky dude" Blaine said, hugging him next

" You guys are infringing on my rights,I said no hugs" he said and broke it, he hugged Clark.

"Pineapple head" Clark said and he quickly broke it.

"Cucumber head" he smirked and faced the girls, he hugged Jacinthe lightly and only winked at Nadia.

"No hug for you" he said

"Who said I want to hug a pineapple headed guy too" she smirked and Rowen faced Clark, Clark looked up and started humming jargons

"Damn your ass, hey lover girl" he said, sitting beside Sapphire

" Is this really Rowen?" She said

"Don't talk about change please" he replied

" You changed a lot" she smiled

" Fuck it!, I said no!" He said cutely.

Nadia smiled secretly.

"How was New York?" She asked

"Cool and fun to be in, you should be ok for him" he replied seriously

" I will, I saw his face and he'll call soon too, I can't wait" she replied

" You look more energetic, love is surely a bed of roses" Rowen said

" No!!!!" Everyone except Sapphire screamed

" And why?, Why?, Why if I may ask" Rowen said funnily.

" After witnessing Sapphire and Seth's love story, I realized love is a bed of thorns and roses" Nadia said

" We're fighting so don't talk to me" Rowen rolled eyes

" Who said I was talking to you" Nadia rolled eyes too.

"Sapphire and Seth's lovestory made me realize that.. love is a pool of gold and snakes" Hardin said

"Any speech Mr Blaine?" Rowen said

" Damn...is this another Rowen?" Blaine said, still looking at him surprisingly.

" Is that your speech bastard?" Rowen said

"Well love can kill and heal" Blaine said.

" Love is the ailment and the drug itself" Clark said

" Love is a trap of pleasure and pains" Jacinthe said.

" You're all wrong, love is sweet" Sapphire said and they all faced her swiftly

" If anyone should be badmouthing love it's you" Rowen said

Sapphire smiled widely, unable to take Seth's face away from her brain.

"Love is sweeter than honey" she said

"Even after all the pains?" Rowen said

" When you're in love, pains feels like pleasure, ion mind going through pains again if it's because of my chocoseth" she replied and winked.

" Is there a psychiatrist in this hospital?" Rowen said

" I think so" Blaine said.

Rowen looked at Clark and they signalled before they started rushing out of the ward.

"A psychiatrist is needed here please!, Save a life!" They shouted as they rushed out.

" I think they're the ones who needs psychiatrist, what the hell did Rowen eat in New York" Hardin laughed hard.
