CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Nwosu looked around the small café, annoyed by the noise of the girls next to him and the awful music it had to offer, but he controlled the edge to make a scene and tell the truth. Talking never really brought anything good for him.

The bell rang, a sign that someone walked into the café, but even without his uniform, heads- mostly the female population turned to look at him with lust and awe while the male glared, frowned and scoffed under their breaths, jealous at the built specimen that dared to get their female’s attention.

Nwosu smiled as his golden eyes which were hidden under a pair of sunglasses met Renzo’s red-brown eyes “Ah! My man! It has been a while!” Renzo greeted Nwosu who stood up and they firmly shook hands, girls sighed in awe as they shamelessly watched the two boys talk.

“Indeed it has Renzo. Sit, I have a job for you” Nwosu said gesturing to the seat across his, Renzo sighed but nevertheless sat down. He really hoped that Nwosu invited him to catch up and hang, but hope was a desire that something unrealistic would come to pass. He was once again alone, even though he had friends around him. He always felt so alone.

“Let’s hear it” Renzo said bitterly, Nwosu frowned at the change of his friend’s attitude but chose to ignore it knowing that if something was bothering Renzo he would tell him, or so he thought.

Nwosu pulled out the neatly folded paper from his jacket and passed it to Renzo who took it and opened it, tensing up as his eyes looked at the picture of the same girl named Joy who was suspect for Lizzie’s death “She is important to me. It’s been a week since she went to see her birth father and brother in area sixteen, and she has not contacted any of us. I’m worried she’s in trouble, and the fact that she did not even tell those who were keeping her is truly confusing. We believe that the murderer was not after Lizzie but her, we could have done this on our own, but my uncle has eyes watching and ears listening. So, I need you to find her and report back to me” Nwosu said and Renzo gapped.

That was the most that Nwosu spoke, and Renzo could not believe it was all for some girl. Even though he hated the fact that someone got close to Nwosu more than he did and in a short amount of time, he wanted to as some questions of his own when he found this Joy.

“Consider it done”

Jenny sat by the balcony watching the stars that dotted and twinkled in the sky, she clenched the cup of tea tighter wanting it to give her warmth that her body lacked. It’s was cold that night, but she was too upset and confused to care. The dream she had of her cousin dying. Was in fact not a dream at all.

She should have thought and planned before sending in Ezekiel to that girl named Rose, it was her fault and she was going to fix it. She was upset at her unwise and rush thinking, she misinterpreted the vision were a young red haired girl stood with orange glowing eyes as she cried and clenched another female body close to her.

And she was confused at how Ezekiel died, she loved him like a brother and he like a sister. He promised her that he would come back and she blindly believed him, sending him to the slaughter without anyone knowing. He was strong, but he wasn’t the strongest one here.

The image of his dead body flashed through her mind just as a flash of green lightning flashed in the darkened sky and the wind picked up. Leather clothed arms wrapped around her waist from behind and his breathed fanned her nape as he placed a kiss to her neck “Killian” she acknowledged him.

He turned her around so fast that the cup in her hand shattered to the ground, but they both ignored it as their lips clashed in a brutal hot kiss. He missed her, he was glad that he finished his mission quick just to spend more time with her.

He pecked her allowing her to catch her breathe before he once again ravishes her lips “I missed you” Jenny whispered as he pecked her swollen lips again, Killian opened his aqua-marine eyes that had happiness and mischief in them “Aww my sweet Jenny missed me” he cooed making Jenny smile.

“Indeed she did” Jenny said smugly as she played with the long soft threads of Killian’s hair “I heard what happened,” Killian started and Jenny froze knowing where he was going with this “It’s not your fault darling, you did not know- “” No! It is my fault, I should have planned and interpreted the vision properly!” she exclaimed stepping away from him like she burnt him.

She thought he would understand, but he was too blinded by his love for her. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her crimson eyes glowing and her nostrils flared. She just wanted someone to tell it was truly her fault, to tell her the truth that she desperately needed to hear.

Killian knew what he had to do, he saw what she wanted him to do for her, and he could not deny his mate what she strongly desired. He sighed and dragged his hand through his hair saying the words that she wanted to hear.

“I will go and find her. I will bring her to you” he said and she sighed knowing that he would. He stood and watched as she walked towards him untying the warm robe she was wrapped in, and she let it fall to the ground leaving her bare. He gulped. Hard.

“Let’s make the most of tonight, my love” Jenny whispered seductively in his ear, and before he could speak a word. She dragged him into her room.
