Chapter 136: Chapter 136

Nancy's new attitude gave him hope. He asked his goons to go out and have fun before they they left the next day. He told them that their mission was already a success. He had switched off his phone, so that he would not be disturbed. He knew that his wife would have alot to say about that but he had already prepared his defence and in the case of his job, there were alot of capable hands to handle things till he got back.

He planned on switching on his phone as soon as they were airborne.

He would stay home with Nancy while the goons went out. Hopefully, they would get intimate and continue from where they had stopped.

That evening, he asked his goons to go out.

'Are you sure of that boss?'

'Yes!'

'What about the girl?'

'I shall be here with her'.

'Why this sudden decision?'

'Are you questioning my decision? I want to stay alone with her this evening. So take the evening off and go anywhere you like and just have fun for tomorrow we leave for London'.

'I'm sorry boss but do you think that she would come to you willingly?' One particular loyal one asked, not very comfortable with the decision of his boss.

'I know that you care so much for my welfare and the success of this operation but trust me when I say that all is well. She has changed. She never really stopped loving me but was just venting her anger and wanting to be wooed afresh and convinced that she would not be abandoned again'.

'But don't you think the change is rather sudden? Could it be a trick?'

'Well, even if it is a trick, she cannot possibly escape from here, so what was the use trying. You will come back and find out that we are now one as should be. Don't worry!' Rodney assured him.

'If you say so, boss'.

'I definitely say so. Now be gone. You are wasting my time', Rodney said patting him on the back. Maze was the name he had asked to be called. He was really one of his loyal henchmen.

Nancy had been eavesdropping and had felt like hitting the Maze man for being too wise and loyal for his good but she heaved a sign of relief when he finally backed down and agreed to go out.

It was going to be over her dead body that she would be intimate with Rodney.

Now that she was sure that she was going to be alone with Rodney, she thought of what she would do to trick him. She had to divert his attention long enough to escape.

Though escaping from here was just not all. She did not know where to go from here. She did not know where they were but she believed that if she could get to the road, she could call for help or ask directions to the Jason's mansion. But she had to devise a means of incapacitating Rodney first else, she had no hope if getting out of there and she could not pretend o the extent of allowing him get intimate with her.

She lay back on her bed pretending to be asleep, expecting Rodney to come in anytime.

When at last he came in, she stretched as though just waking.

'What time is it?'

'A little over 4pm. Why? Are you going anywhere?'

'Where could I possibly go? Or are you planning on taking me somewhere for a change? I am really tired of staying locked up here like a prisoner. I am not your captive now, am I?' She asked with her most innocent expression and the sweetest of voice.

'I was planning on spending a quiet romantic evening here all alone with you'. he said watching her expression.

She smiled. 'That's great but aren't you exerggerating the whole thing?'

'How so?' he came close to her on the bed.

'How can it be romantic when your men could be peeping at us or coming in to give you one information or the other, thereby interrupting us?'

'You don't have to worry about that. I have asked them to take the evening off and go to where ever they please'.

'Then it is going to be a romantic night for us indeed', she said, nipping his cheek affectionately.

'Is there something for me to eat? I. really famished'.

'Of course. I made sure they got us something akin to a feast. I spared no expense'. he said hoping she would be impressed.

She made the necessary sounds of delight and hugged him.

'You are just too much. You anticipate my every need. That is why I could never stop loving you' she said bitting her tongue for uttering such monstrosity.

'Can we eat now?' she asked.

'You mean now? Of course if that is what you wish. You know your wish is my command'.

He took her into a room that must have served as a dinning room and laid out on the long dinning table was a feast fit for a king.

Nancy gasped. 'You did not lie when you said it was going to be a feast!'

He was happy that she was impressed. They started eating. She knew that she needed strength for what she had in mind and wanted a little time to elapse so that his goons would be long gone before she made good her escape. She did not want to be caught mid way. Else, she would never have another chance and Rodney's short temper would get the better of him and he would make her pay for deceiving him.

They ate for some time and then she stood, excusing herself to go to the washroom.

'I shall go with you'.

'Why? You are afraid that I would be eaten up?' she asked knowing that that was not the case but that he was being careful and did not fully trust her yet.

'Who could possibly eat you up here?'

'Then why do you want to follow me into the washroom? Don't tell me you are getting impatient for the romantic night to start. We are not even through with our meal and according to you, we have the whole evening to ourselves'.

'You are right', he said and sat back down.

'But be quick about it. I do not want to get lonely'.

'You will have to wait. The waiting makes the getting sweeter, you know', she said flirtatiously.

She went out and looking back, saw that he had continued eating his food, she quietly locked the door and the main door as she quickly stepped out of the compound.

The gate was locked. She had not thought of that. She did not know what to do. And she could not scale the fence.

She was still contemplating what to do when she heard Rodney asking if she was not through yet.

She could not answer him, else she would give herself away.

She felt trapped. Just when she thought she would escape successfully.

She was still contemplating what to do when she heard a loud singing.

That voice. It was the voice of Maze. And he was coming towards the gate.
