You Will Let Me Go Very Soon

Christian finally arrived the hall but could not find Lanre. He tried calling her, their was no response. He had to walk round the hall looking for Lanre in pretense of greeting people. He did not find her. He had to go ask the Governor’s wife since Lanre was under her. The woman said she has no clue where Lanre went. Immediately Christian left her side, Olasile snorted. Lanre is with her son and she had someone follow them. She was not ready to have Christian ruin her chance of knowing what her son and her assistant has been up to.

K stood looking at Lanre. He seemed angry with his hands fisted into balls. He could barely believe his ears what Lanre just said to him. How could she hate him? How could she never want to see his face again? She told him all these without thinking it would hurt. Well, he would never had thought such words could hurt him this much.

“Lanre, you do not mean it, do you? You are not leaving with Christian, right? I already told you I did not intend hitting you that night! I told you I have never touched Ify neither do I know what she was blabbing about telling my family she is pregnant. Maybe she did that because you were there”. K said to Lanre whilst taking her hand. She pulls her hand from his hold.

“You already told me what? How could she possibly be doing it because I was there when she did not know I was coming? Besides, why are you even explaining? Kehinde, you said it yourself, never to keep contact. That day at your house, you allowed me into the dark all alone. You won’t make a good boyfriend not to talk less of a husband. It is pointless listening to your explanation”. Lanre said. She attempts to walk away but K stopped her. He pushed her into the wall, her back hitting hard against the wall. She glared at him.

K did not mind the glare Lanre was giving him. He was going to make her listen to him. He only knew one way to make her. He reached out for her bosom. His idea was to turn her on and make her weak. But it turns out he pressed the wrong bottom. Lanre yelped in pain. Her hand landed on K’s face. She gave him a hot slap.

“You have gone nuts!” Lanre said and attempted walking away again. K caught her wrist. He told her he was not letting her go this time. He won’t until she understands him. Lanre shook her head.

“You will let me go very soon”. She said in her head. She looked up at his face. She asked him if he wanted another slap. He did not say anything. She would not have slapped him that hard, but the shock she got from the pain she felt when he grabbed her breast was enough to turn her into a carnivore.
