Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Grace, when are you leaving? You told me it's just a night and now it's more than a thousand night.

Kingsley, you don't want me here?

Not that, it doesn't seem right for a girl and a boy that are not married to be living together.

How funny! It's bad to live with a girl that is not your wife but it's not bad to have intimacy with a girl that is not your wife.

Stop it, don't try to blackmail me, I asked you if you want to, you agreed to it, so don't make it seems like I force you and I don't love you.

Oh please, stop acting like you are the only rich boy in this world.

I didn't say so, I don't want Cathy to think that I am dating you.

So is Cathy, that is making you behave strange? Cathy that doesn't even know you exist, she is dating someone who is way richer than you, right now, she is in his house, your thoughts is not even on her head

That is not possible, my Cathy can't live with a boy.

Stay and deceive yourself, that she is a saint, a saint that lives with a boy and that is your cathy

Kingsley sweat, Grace left him confused, through the night, he didn't sleep, the next morning, he drove to Gregory's mansion

Brian is having breakfast, Eve run to him. Uncle Brian, are you fine now?

Yes, I am.

Are you sure? Eve darling, uncle is fine. Eve hugged him. I am fine, sit let's eat.

Craig and Gregory walked in, Brian stand to leave.

Uncle, are you leaving because of brother? No, I am filled.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Brian look at Gregory and nodded, Craig held his hand.

Can you please not tell dad that Gregory is the one that hurt you? If he asked say it's me.

Whitney is watching the two of them.

I will not tell on your baby. Brian said Craig smile and hit him slightly.

Thanks man, I know I can count on you. Brian smile.

I can't say no to prince charming.

Brian turned and meet Whitney.

Goddess, I am...

How is your health now?

I am fine, it's just a little scratch.

Okay, thank God you are fine. She wants to leave, Brian held her hand.

I am sorry.

I forgive you that is why I am talking to you but I can't date you again

Why? Is it because I hurt you, I am...

No, I know I did something bad, so you punish me but I don't trust you anymore, if you can gang up with my enemy then you can kill me.

Goddess!

Let me be, I have made my decision, thanks for the time we spend together but it's over.

Brian sighed and left, Eve as gone back with her nanny, Gregory look at Whitney.

Don't look at me.

He fall his face, Craig wipe his lips, he dart upstairs, the security telecom come up, Gregory press it.

Sir, there is a man at the gate, he said he want to see Ma Cathy.

Cathy!

Yes sir!

Who will want to see Cathy here? Whitney asked in confusion.

Craig walked in back to the dinning.

What is going on?

The security said a man is here to see Cathy.

Then let him in. Craig said, the telecom went off, Kingsley walk into the main building, Craig look at him

Have I not see this face before? Craig asked, Whitney did not let him reply.

Kingsley what are you doing here? Did you even sleep this morning at your house?

Come on, I want to see Cathy, where is she?

She is not here.

She lives with a boy?

Where did you get that from? Whitney asked him.

Tell me, it's not true, she doesn't live with a boy? He closed his eyes, in denial, Whitney stared at him.

No, she doesn't. Craig voice came up

Thank goodness! Kingsley sighed in relief, he walk to him.

But that doesn't mean you should keep your hope high, she will never be yours.

He dart upstairs.

Is he her boyfriend?

Yes, you should stay away from her, if you don't want to get burn.

Gregory said, Whitney look at Gregory, Kingsley is scared.

Don't mind then, he is not her boyfriend, Cathy is not here now but don't worry, i will tell her, you asked after her.

Why is her number not going?

Her phone is bad.

Alright, I go on now. Kingsley left.

Greg, why are you two scaring him? You and know that Cathy is not dating Craig.

I thought you don't like him for her.

Yes, I don't want him for her, same goes to any other boy, I don't want any boy for my Cathy not even Craig, when I get her, I will make sure to take her away from all of them.

Whitney go to her room, Craig is coming down.

Where are you going?

Do I even know? Why are they all coming too strong, I have Tony to deal with and now this. Why do they all love her? I don't know if it's her naive nature that is making them want her.

Why do you love her?

Do I know?

Maybe, her decency and craziness make you want her, a little patience, she will be all yours.

What if I lose her completely?

You will not, if she is yours.

Fine, I need fresh air.

I am coming with you.

Ma Paula, is it possible for me to get fresh fruit?

There are fruit in the fridge.

No, I want fresh one.

No problem, I will get it for you.

Paula get fresh fruit for her, she made fruit juice, after then she sit watching the hour Glass.

Gregory came in see her watching it, he realized she is really bored.

What are you doing?

Don't asked me, I am not talking to you.

Whitney!

Can you leave me? She received message, she smiled.

Is it from Cathy? Craig asked.

No!

Then it's from who? Gregory asked! She looks at him.

Mind your business. She picked herself off she goes.

I am off to my room and don't disturb me. Gregory said and go upstairs, Craig goes to his room

I haven't hear her thoughts today. He connect the tracker.

Tony said he is out of town, let me cook pepper oil stew, I saw it online, let me try it

No! Craig said like she can hear him. Cathy you can't do that?

She didn't hear what he is saying, she start blending her pepper, she start frying the pepper and the oil, the next thing, she start coughing.

Shit! Cathy! Craig call in frustration. Why didn't I do it in a way she can hear me? He pick his phone and call her. Come on!

Hello! Who.... She coughed badly, she is gasping for air.

It's not important, try off the gas, lie on the floor and crawl out of the kitchen, that way you could avoid inhaling the smoke much

I can't... She cough more.

Please now! Just do it for me, I beg you, go to the window and inhale fresh air.

I don't think... I could...

Baby, please do it for me. Craig is almost in tears.

Will... You come... Help..

Fine, your address. She gave him the address. Hello... The phone fall from her hand. Cathy! No answer, all he could hear his difficulty in breathing. Shit! He get his car keys.

No, this will take long. He get his power bike keys and dart out

How was your day? @Reliance

My day is fine but I missed my best friend. Whitney

How many best friend do you have?

I have two, a girl and a boy. Whitney.

So which one are you missing, so I can act like him or her? @Reliance.

I missed the female one more. Whitney

It hurt, so you don't miss the male? @Reliance.

Stop acting like you are him, I am mad at the male one. Whitney.

What did he do again? @reliance

I don't want to talk about him, is that how love is it? Whitney

I don't get you. @Reliance

My best friend, the girl, she fall in love and she forget everything about me. Whitney

Yes, when you are in love, nothing else matters. @Reliance

That is selfish, if that is how love is then I don't want to fall in love. Whitney

You broke my heart. @Reliance

She smiled and type smiling.

So you missed just your female bestie? @Reliance

I missed both of them but I missed her more because I see my male best friend everyday, it's just that we don't talk, I go to his room every night. Whitney

Don't he know? @Reliance

Of cause not, he is a deep sleeper, when he is at sleep, he doesn't know what is happening around him, so I creep on him. Whitney

Really? @Reliance

Yes, in fact I made him juice but I am not telling him. Whitney.

Gregory eyes bulge out, he look around the room but he can't find anything, he wanted to type but she beat him to it.

He is not going to see it, I kept it in his closet. Whitney.

Gregory smile, he is reliance, he is the one talking to Whitney, he open his closet and smile.

I will go to his room later before going to bed. Whitney

Alright, let me know if you succeed. @reliance

Of cause, I will, I want to rest on his chest, I missed it and I want to go to bed, I will talk to you tomorrow in the evening. Whitney

Why? @Reliance

I am starting a new chamber tomorrow, I just hope that he is not a bad person like the former. Whitney

Are you scared? @Reliance

Yes, I wish Gregory will go with me but he will not because we are not talking. Whitney

Should I wish he go with you? @reliance.

If you do and God grant it, then I will chat you up everyday. Whitney

Fine, I will, will you asked him to take you there@Reliance.

Never, if he do it with his mind then I will forgive him. Whitney

Alright! Good night. @Reliance

When she end the chat, she goes to Gregory, she mistakenly hit the door, she paused, look if Gregory will wake, he didn't, she walk to him

This boy, why is he sleeping side today? Gregory turned, facing up, she rest on his chest, peck him and hurry out, Gregory open his eyes when she left.

Craig get to the apartment, he noticed the bodyguard is standing at the gate.

Should I beat him? No, it will attack people and I don't think Cathy have that time, the window, yes it will be fine.

He pulled the window with all his strength, he jumped into the house.

Cathy! Cathy! He call in a whisper, he move from the kitchen to the passage, he go to the room but she is not there, he get to the window, she had already collapse.

No! Cathy! He checked her pause, he carried her to the couch, he press her chest slightly, he give her mouth to mouth oxygen.

She sneeze, Craig was dress in all black, he mask his face, the only thing, she could see is his eyes, nose and mouth and now the sneeze had left saliva all over his mask face

Dammit! He off the light, he returns with the water.

Who are you? Don't be scared, I am your friend. Cathy Drink, she try to stand up.

Sit! Will get you what to eat and don't on the light. She nodded! Craig go in to prepare noodles for her, coming back she was about to switch the light.

Why are you stubborn? Craig drag her hand from the switch, her hand meet his hairy skin

He withdrew his hand, she shake her head

Who are you? Where you the one that called me? How did you know I am in trouble?

Let's just say I just know. Cathy eat the food in silence.

Thanks, she hugged him.

Her breath is not stable again, he free her, he had stress her

Yes, Can you wait till I fall asleep? Alright go on and lie.

When Cathy slept off, he picked himself and left, he was packing his bike when Gregory saw him.
