CHAPTER 43

"Let me go now!" He quickly swung me over so he was at my back.

Ken has surely gone crazy. I thought. Stack raving mad he definitely was mad.

I wanted to scream, something was up with him and it wasn't something good. I felt it in my bones. I was just about to open my mouth when I felt something sharp pierce my back.

'He is with a knife' I mentally screamed like my mind didn't already know it. I didn't want to die not because I enjoyed life so much, but because I loved my family and I knew what my death would mean to them. Pain.

"What do you want from me?" I asked attempting indifference as my first defense.

"Keep quiet and follow me." He whispered.

"There is a car waiting for us" he said Pointing to a black Toyota Camry. "You belong to me and I am here to take you. I know you Mira. Do not make any wrong move or I'll kill you and kill your entire family then myself. They have no one to protect them. You won't want anything to happen to your brothers now, would you?" He threatened.

He knew just how to get to me, and that's because I told him, I told the enemy my weakness. Maybe he has been stalking me all this while. The psychopath. He was obsessed always had been.

Unfortunately for me I didn't realize this on time

I felt like a character in a horror movie_but I will not be a prey. 'I am not weak. I thought in firm resolve.

I took in deep breaths to calm myself. There was no need to get all worked up and angry_ I needed to think clearly and to think clearly I had to remain calm.

"You don't have to do this Ken, there are a lot of girls who would want to be with you. Just let me go please, I am not special. Go for anyone else." I said calmly, trying to appeal to whatever goodness he still had in his heart.

I was doing great so far at staying calm_ ok maybe not so great but at least I wasn't hyperventilating.

"A lot is nobody, I want you." he whispered into my ear. Did he think it will turn me on? Jesus Christ how revolting!

"I don't Care for you in that way and I need you to leave me alone now or else I will_"

"Shut up and move!" he ordered. He pushed me forward and I lost my balance.

The key to the boutique and my bag fell down from my hands causing me to fear for my self even more. I hoped that someone around would notice what was going on and help me before it became too late_Or better still that the police would come around even though they were 80% useless most times.

"You think reporting me to my aunty was going to do you any good. I have grown. I am no longer the 16 year old boy who could be flogged for wanting what he wanted and now I'll have you and my revenge for all the humiliation that you cost me."He said in anger.

"You almost raped me damn you! I was only 12 you sick pervert!" I snapped, my emotions were starting to get the best of me.

"I have no regrets I_"  Ken's voice trailed off when someone called my name faintly, like he was tasting it on his lips_unsure of whether to call it or not.

I went silent feeling hope once again.

Ken stiffened behind my back_meaning that he had heard the voice too.

"Common move now." He growled poking me with the knife. I flinched from the pain of the knife pressed on my skin but I didn't move.

My resistance angered him so, that he pushed the knife into my skin. I felt my skin break and give way to the sharp edges of the knife.

I screamed as loud as I could. He put his hands over my mouth muffling my screams. "Don't try to disobey me. I won't mind killing you right now. Now move!"

I did as he told me, I moved.

We both walked slowly to the car.

I was surely doomed now.
