Chapter 43

Harry

I turn a few seconds later when I realize that Diana’s stare behind me isn’t normal. I swear by the time I turn back it is either too late or just too late.

Anita is shouting her name and, I don’t care what happens next because I push Diana away from me with force I shouldn’t use on a woman.

A sick one for that matter.

I don’t get to see what happens to her because I run after Clara who is really going fast. I push Anita from the way and yeah, it is too late by the time I get to the gate. A snobbish car is already over speeding away. I wonder who that could be.

I think for a quick second after trying to run after them and realizing I won’t catch them and that they won’t just stop in as much as I try. I rush back to the house, pick one of my car keys and walk almost running out of the house. She did that calculatedly, she saw Clara standing there and that’s the reason she was kissing me forcefully! I am going to literally strangle that girl.

Ugh!

I want to speak to Clara badly. I remember when I told her about Diana, she wanted to tell me something and just like that, I broke her heart by speaking first.

What the hell! I shouldn’t have spoken first. Ladies always go first and I swear I am never breaking that rule on any other girl. I roll my eyes when I think about that. I don’t think I have a chance with any other girl in this world.

I have broken enough hearts already.

I am literally chasing the wind. I know very well that I will not catch them because I never bothered to take the registration number of the car. I didn’t see it clearly though.

I am driving like a newly made lunatic, I know if I find the police on the road then I will earn a red ticket but who cares? My stupid, crazy, and Machiavellian mum will not let her spoilt son go to jail or something so, I keep driving not knowing where I am going but something comes to my mind. I know she spoke to Anita, my beautiful Clarita was there and I am sure she had something crucial to tell me. I have to find her and find out the same.

I turn on the wrong side quickly. And drive at a speed I personally don’t wanna know. Anita is sad when I get home. She doesn’t really like Diana because she keeps saying Diana is lying to me. She says Diana is literally pretending to be dying so that she can have me to herself.

But why?

To what end would she do that?

She has never loved me. When she was going abroad, I kinda had some feelings for her and when I asked her to stay, she rubbed it on my face that she couldn’t stay here for a drug addict. What has changed? I have to do my investigations because I may have changed but I am still the drug addict that I used to be, nothing changed.

She was forcing a kiss on me earlier and when Clarita, my Clarita saw that then she must have thought that I am a monster. Clarita has done so much to me, she has changed me literally, she has made me the responsible person that I am today and that stupid woman should not take advantage of the same.

I changed for Clarita but if she insists that she has to marry me then I will also change for her. She is a bitch and I literally want to find out why she came back here.

This could be mum’s plan to make things worse for me. I should probably go and find that out too.

I am flagged by the police just at the roundabout close to home to halt but guess what! Your guess is right because I don’t dare to sojourn! I cannot dare do that because right about now, I have only one mission and by all means, I am going to accomplish my mission. I glance at the watch on the console and it is about five in the evening. I might even strangle that girl to death if no one stops me.

I start hooting like the crazy fool that I am at the moment from far and by the time I get to the gate, it is wide open. I walk straight to where Anita seems to be arguing with Diana and I don’t know how but I calm myself down. Maybe I need to hear what they are arguing about.

‘’Why would you want to stick to Harry? He isn’t your type, you have said that before, haven’t you?’’ she asks furiously. Anita for some unknown reasons really loves Clarita. It’s because of my little sister that I reformed from drugs. Well, supported by my big sister discreetly and Diana here kept saying that she didn’t want anything to do with an addict. Now she is here and for what?

‘’None of your business bitch! What I do with my life and what I do with your brother’s shouldn’t be your business. If you want you can marry him but…’’ she pauses and laughs bitterly. She is such a bitter person. ‘’I literally forgot that you cannot marry him because he is your blood brother. I …’’

‘’Shut up! Did you kiss Harry purposely to piss off Clara? Don’t you know those two love each other and you cannot do anything to separate them?’’

She laughs evilly and without hilarity, ‘’I don’t give a hoot! I will marry Harry whether you like it or not! Besides your mum is supporting me and your credulous brother will not go against his manipulative mum.’’

‘’Wow!’’

‘’Just so you know, I am so happy that I saw you two before he did. Right now, I am about to accomplish my dream of marrying him and I hope she is burning inside.’’

‘’You will not marry Harry! In fact, I wish you die sooner than expected.’’ She says and starts to walk away from Diana.

Without wasting time, Diana charges towards her and she is about to hit her when I capture her hand midair. I don’t expect a sick and dying person to have all that energy but hey, I will expose her soon. She is totally surprised to see me and I can bet anything that I own that she didn’t expect to see me here.

‘’She insulted me. Your sister insulted me, Harry. I know I will be dying soon but she isn’t supposed to rub it on my face.’’ she says false tears dropping from her eyes.

‘’I look at Anita who is equally surprised and make a signal at her, I am glad when she understands me and walks away.’’

‘’She did that? Anita did that to you?’’ she nods with wet eyes. She is feigning hurt and that’s not gonna work with me. I will make sure that she pays for doing what she did.

‘’I will talk to my sister.’’ I say calmly, I don’t want to lose my shit right now, I may not be in a position to control myself if I do. Good thing is, I recorded everything so I will look for my Clarita and show her that I didn’t do that knowing she was there, plus she’ll know that she shouldn’t leave me with Diana because she is evil.

‘’Please do. I have a feeling that she doesn’t like me and that’s freaking me out. I just love you, Harry. I will always do because I have always loved you.’’

I smile angrily. ‘’Says the person who left me to wallow in addiction,’’ I say gently. ‘’Wow! I like your way of loving me. Very romantic.’’

‘’I got the sarcasm, Harry. But please note I love you, no doubt.’’

‘’Of course, I don’t doubt about that,’’ I say with a boring sound. ‘’Now, let me go and speak to my mum, please wait for me and I will let you know what next after speaking to mum.

When I get close to the study room, the door is slightly open and I peer through it to see what is going on. As expected, mum and Diana’s mum are arguing. I don’t know why but I usually feel that they argue a lot. I do the most ludicrous and absurd thing that I have ever done.

Eavesdrop on their conversation, maybe I could learn something from it, right?

‘’Jenna, do you think your son will Marry Diana?’’ she asks worriedly. ‘’I want what you promised me to take place and make sure it does as soon as it possibly can because if not, I will spill the beans and I bet they will not like it.’’

I shake my head vigorously to make sure that these are not just things I am hearing but well that she is actually saying them. So, she is blackmailing mum but for what?

‘’Listen here, Jeddah, you don’t and cannot blackmail me because I know very well that the police would still be happy to know who killed that girl’s mum. Remember I HAVE ALL THE FUCKING EVIDENCE POINTING AGAINST YOU.’’ Mum shouts and I cower.

‘’Do your worst, Jenna. Your family will have to know that …’’ she cuts her off hitting the table with her fist.

‘’Okay then, let’s all do what we can to get our asses to jail. We all know that your daughter will be left with nothing and after what she did where you were, the police will be after her ass soon.’’ She laughs dryly. ‘’They will be feasting on her case.’’

‘’Calm down, Jenna. We haven’t gotten there. Let’s work towards getting things done and not making threats to our lives okay?’’

‘’Don’t you ever threaten me with that shit! I don’t care what I did in the past, I will always protect the truth and that’s my mission.’’

I swear if I wasn’t a man I would have fainted. I don’t mean to disrespect the other gender though. I know that even among men there are weak vessels and even among women, there are strong ones. My mum is evil I just confirmed that. I am tempted to storm to the study room but I push the urge away and far from me. I am burning with rage and if I go in there, I might just kill both of them and that’s really not good. I don’t want them to die with the truth and the secrets they are holding.

I walk to my bedroom, my head between my palms and I smile sadly when I think about the woman who I have all along known as my mum.

She is wicked and evil I don’t know how I will find out the truth from them.

One thing though, is Diana really sick? Is she really dying? I will confront mum once they leave and I want to take Diana for tests secretly.

I want to either convince her that we need to try another doctor or that a doctor cannot decide her life so we can always have her get another opinion.

Ever sat down to think but you find out that you literally cannot think? That’s me right now, I cannot bring myself to think. I am at a standstill and the only thing I can think about is how to get these women to talk and tell me the truth. I don’t know what exactly is going on but I am sure I will get to know soon. I have the urge to break something and when my hand lands on the water jug on my table, I take it in my hands and dropping with super energy.

I fold my fist and hit the stone made wall so hard leaving my knuckles hurt.

I feel good when the shuttering sound goes off. I wanted it and I now feel good. I keep blinking several times to prevent the tears that are threatening to fall from dropping.

There is a knock on my door and, I hope it’s not Diana because I am going to walk out on her.

‘’Who’s there?

‘’It’s me, brother. Are you okay?’’

‘’Hold on, I will open for you in a minute.’’ I don’t want Anita to see me sad so I have to pretend that all is okay. I open the door and take Anita’s hand and we walk out together.

I lead her to my car, I hear that crazy human being calling me but I assume her. Diana will have to learn to know who I am.

I step on the gas without knowing where I am taking her.
