Bloody Fog - Episode 53

 

Andrew's prison cell was more like a room in a five star hotel. Two leather armchairs, plasma screen TV and a laptop. The guard in charge was more of a waiter providing room services around the clock, attending to them.

"Sir, what are you gonna do now that Gerald has become powerful and the most feared drug lord in Africa???" questioned Timothy, one of Andrew's men.
"Watch and learn young man. You have stayed with me for ten years and you have learnt nothing..." Andrew chaffed reshuffling his poker cards..
"So tell us the plan???" Another one of his men insisted, lighting his cigarette.
"First, we had them believe that one of them killed Mark and Joseph...Little did they know its was us . So we gonna gonna take advantage of that and attack when they least expect.." Andrew uttered sending them a mischievous smile.

"What about us getting out of here????" Timothy stated with a frown on his face," Is there any hope????"

"That reminds me, put the president on the phone. It's a high time we remind him our conditions, it seems he didn't get them..." Andrew barked, throwing the poker cards on the table.

"They all gonna pay..." Andrew cussed out, pouring himself some whisky in a glass..

Three months had past and Dee was doing better for herself. She loved working in the company and her relationship with her father had become better

. About Esther, yes they were close. They went partying over the weekends, shared everything with each other but Esther evil plan was still in motion. Nothing was gonna make her change her mind.

Nick had taken a break from his acting career, he focused more on drinking and gathering evidence against Gerald which for the past three months it had amounted to nothing...

He felt empty, it seemed Dee was happier without him. She looked more beautiful, more composed and doing better. Once in a while he was tempted to call her but his pride took the better of him.

During the day he is gathering evidence and at night drinking himself to sleep. Bloggers and the media were always on his back.

. The once upon a time heartthrobbing actor was now a drunkard with no direction in life. Yes, his fans still loved him but they were worried of him.

What would come of his acting career???
Why did he and Dee break up???
Those were the unanswered questions they kept asking....

His eyes always mirrored pain. Dee was his one stable force, the one stability in his life which was filled with chaos...

Every time he kept falling in love with her and each time harder than the last.

"Nick is this the life you gonna be living???" Nelson ranted taking the bottle of whisky from him.
"Yes, my life has no meaning without Dee," Nick cried, "She seems to be doing better whereas I can't be without her. My life is at a pause. I want her back Nelson..."  
Nelson hugged him and there he cried on his shoulders like a lost soul.
"But you dumped her," Nelson reminded him.
"Yes I did and I know we can't be together since I want to send her father to jail. All I can do is to cry, drink and feel sorry for myself because I lost her..." Nick shiveled while Nelson walked him to bed.

Dee on the other hand acted happy but she was still sad.
She was lying on Esther's lap while she combed her hair,"Dearest, has Nick contacted you???" Esther asked.

"No, he said he needed some distance and I gave him  that." Dee agonised, raising up from Esther's lap and asked her politely to leave her alone. 

Dee took her phone in her hand and like every night for the past three months, she wanted to call Nick but she didn't have the will.

She looked at their photos together and her eyes were dripping tears. She would trade everything she had to get him back but that was humanly impossible. She wanted to seek a new life away from him but she couldn't since Nick was all her life.

She had read the mean blogs and posts about Nick, she wanted to be his support, his source of strength but she was scared. Nick hated her for something she had no idea about and he had no will of telling her. How was it her fault, if he didn't need her????

Like every other night, she cried herself to bed. The memories of Nick ransacking her mind and all she could do was shake them away violently. 

What was the need to hold onto something that had lost life already????

They both loved each other but one had been filled with hatred whereas the other one had been filled with fear of fighting for their love.
