Second Chance - Episode 12

 

KATHIA

We waited like a fox waiting for its prey...

It was fun and exciting ..if not for me well at least for Bree. She gave me more information than I needed..with the way she got her info.I was surprised she didn't end up sleeping with the poor man..even though she got her lipstick smudged..she said she never had such excitement for a while. Of course, he had no clue, neither did the poor fellow knew he was being used..he didn't even think before the words tumbled each time as she asked out of his mouth . When a man is hard I bet you could get him to forget his mother at that moment.
Now we have the list of his whores and the first on the list was Laleti.
Getting where she lived was easy..all it took was to ask the cab man . The one that brought them last night. Bree knew him.. His work was to take the prince to his whores and bring them over too.
He seemed to be in his early fifties. Frail body and a funny looking hat. An unlighted cigar was stuck in between the corner of his patched lips.
He was trying to light it when we got to him.
I allowed Bree do the talking while I stood behind her.

The poor man was confused and looked terrified. I guessed the old Kathia never had to speak to him and here he was being asked to take her bosses' wife to the house of one of his bosses' mistresses.

He stared at Bree.
"I.

. Urm.. I don't think it's a good idea Ma'am"

All this while.. I was behind Bree, fanning myself ridiculously in the full skirted gown I wore.. I could hardly breathe but I needed to get used to it.

I listened as Bree tried to persuade him before I interrupted.

"Look man! Do you know who I am? "

He finally noticed me and nodded his head quickly..putting the matches somewhere in his oversized jacket.
"We're you born and bred here?"

He swallowed and shook his head.

"I moved here with the rest"

"That means you are one of my people "

He said nothing so I took the hint.

"You have been taking my husband to his whores!Do you know what is at stake if this marriage doesn’t work? Do you know you and your family will walk barefooted with nothing out of this town. Not even with this caryou so much desire. Is that what you want?"

I noticed his wrinkled face seemed sober and his head was bent low. I knew this was my cue so I walked closer and took the match from him. I lighted it and was bringing it to his lips.

"PLEASE..i want to make this work..I want my marriage to work..so you and your family can stay here forever. Would you help me? I promise He won’t know if you do not tell him".

I said to him..placing a finger on his shoulder reassuringly. Then I bent a little closer and whispered softly to him.. I felt him stiffen as the flame of the matchstick got to the cigar and when it was lit.. I blew the flame off. Then he relaxed..maybe he thought I wanted to light his beard on fire..
"Besides... If you take me to each one when I ask you to..I would double the prices he's paying you"

I noticed how wider his eyes got..and then Bree stepped forward..arms akimbo.."so what do you say? "

The reply we got was his first massive puff of smoke forming beautiful rings at Bree's face.

********************

Miguel wasn't there yet..Bree was given the time he was likely to be there. She was actually given the time he spends with each one of them. He was going to be here soon, so we had to hurry. I told Musa, the cab man to pull up behind the cabin and not at the front.

We didn't knock the door and instead pushed it open.
We met a startled woman on the carpet, lighting one of the candles she had placed comfortably around the dish on the table.
I knew it was her. Everything about her spelt lust. Her red hair was hanging loosely around her shoulders, pointed nose and jaw, green eyes and full lips covered in red.
The black lingerie she wore didn't leave much to imagination. Her breasts we're rising and falling.

"Wow wow. Someone is getting ready for an afternoon delight "Bree cooed.

She stood up indignantly..Unashamed to cover herself.

"Who the hell are you people! How dare you burst into my house like that! Would you get out this minute! "

At first, I thought of how best to approach this matter.. Good kathia or bad kathia? I debated in my mind.

"I said who are you!"

Woow. Fiesty, I likey.. Bad kathia it is!

I moved closer to her as I kept fanning myself, Bree and I moved around her in circles as the lady stared at us angrily..
"Who are you people?!" She demanded again.

I stopped right in front of her and raised my head up a little so she could see my face.

"I am Kathia Van Eze and you lady.. " I pointed the fan at her"…has been a really bad girl"

All of a sudden, she went white. Her eyes balls now bigger than how they we're earlier.. Well thank God she recognised the name.

"All this is for my husband right?"

I asked as I signalled to her dressing and she looked down in embarrassment.

"Are you one of my people? "
I asked but she said nothing.

"Because if you are and you are messing around with my husband then you know what is at stake. You know what the king would do to you if he learns that you are one of those people that broke up his son’s marriage and that you are not even one of his own people."

She said nothing.

"And If you are not… You know what I can do to you for coming to ruin my marriage. I will start with your family first… "

That was when she looked up…her eyes welled up and her lower lip trembled.

"I'm going to hurt everyone of your family before you break up my marriage.

. If you try to run I will send men after you to kill you.. If you tell my husband I will deny it and send men to kill you. I'm sure you have heard of Kathia and how ruthless she can be"

She gasped.. Her chest was rising and falling.

Then I caressed her cheek with the back of my fan.

"If I we're you, when he comes,I would break it off. "
Then I leaned closer to her and whispered. "I will be watching from afar."

With this, I signalled to Bree we could be going and as I expected her to open the door for me, I realised she was staring at me in a terrified manner.

"C'mon Bree! You are not the one sleeping with my husband or are you? "

"Thank God I'm not" She replied hastily as we left the house, shutting the door behind us.

"Who's next? "
I asked as we got back into the carriage.

Bree took out her list and glanced through. "Zaainab. She usually comes in the night.. "

"Well then, we'd better hurry up and tell the cook to add another's dinner. It's going be a very interesting one.. "
