Kathia gets rid of two fo Miguel's concubines and now she is on her way to getting rid of hers.

Let's see how that goes."

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

Kathia

The last time I felt this nervous was before the day I was supposed to travel in my dream and take that leap of faith ..now I was as nervous as then. We were in my room now and both Ngozi and Bree were with me.

"Bree, you have to come with me" I said at last.

She stared at me in surprise.

"My Lady, but..but..you may ruin things . Also I don't usually follow you there.."

Okay, so I’ve forgotten they were used to seeing me leave every night except I wasn't used to it.

"I can't go alone Bree..what if he's a serial killer?"

The look she gave me made me realise how crazy she thought I was at that moment.

"My lady, you are freaking me out. You have been going for some time .why are you feeling this way now? "

I sighed and stopped pacing. Stamping my feet rapidly against the floor, arms akimbo..lips primed. How do I explain to this girl that it wasn't me theoretically?

"Bree.." I started gently..putting my hands on her shoulder

. "Bree..you remember how I told you I've changed ..?"

She nodded, brows lightly furrowed.

"Well..I wasn't joking about that at all. Just as I don't remember so many things and you had to explain it to me..likewise this too. I don't remember this guy."

She looked as confused as ever..

"Oh! Damn It! Bree...Just tell me you understand me ..please I don't have any one else that would understand this"

Whether she understood or not or she only said that, i didn't care....

"It’s okay my lady..I didn't know it was that serious..I promise I'm going to help you but..please try to understand that you can't take me with you but I will alight along the way..we don't want whoever it would be to suspect you are changing ..you never know how dangerous he could be"

That made me relax a little and I didn't think twice before embracing her. She seemed shocked but relaxed as she melted into my arms..I could hear her giggle and then I noticed Ngozi who had been brushing one of the wigs..

"Come join us Dora" I said to her.." Don't be left out when there is so much love to pass around"

She chuckled and embraced the both of us.

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

"Musa!"

"Yes My lady"

" You are the one who takes me?"

"As always my lady"

Crap! How could Musa still be the one that takes me to meet Tony? This is so messed up. The other day I asked him to drive me to my husband whores..now he's taking me as a whore to another..

"I wonder what he thinks of me now" I said quietly to Bree who was sitting beside me.

Bree chuckled.

"My lady, I don't judge..besides, your secret is safe with me" He said almost with a wink.

I scoffed. That was just perfect!

"By the way, Bree would alight when we are a bit closer to our destination"

"okay My lady"

I sat comfortably as the car began to move. I was in a purple wig and an evening gown which clung delightfully to my hips. Light make-up and jittery nerves. I sighed more as we got closer to our destination.

Several thoughts began to find their ways into my mind. What would I tell him..how would I react? Please God..don't let him be a serial killer..I prayed quietly. Musa knew the way perfectly..I wondered how many times he had brought Kathia here..he even seemed cool about it unlike me..as he kept whistling to himself and puffing that ridiculous cigar.

Bree later alighted as we had planned.

"Stay strong My lady and don't mess everything up once" She said to me, squeezing my hand..it was fun how close we have gotten in no time.

"Stay close Bree" I replied.

Then we moved again.

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

At last the car stopped.

"Here we are my lady" Musa said as he climbed down from the car to assist me.

All around me was quiet and the breeze was cold. Then I realized we were on a beach. I could hear the movement of the lake but it was dark all around. I walked to the other side of the car and then in the distance I saw a faint glow of light in something like a tent.

Was I supposed to go there?

I thought to myself but I knew I couldn't ask Musa anything as he was back in the car and whistling ridiculously.

"Kathia..where ever you are..i swear if this man kills me..I will travel through generations to kill you myself" I said to myself as stupid as that sounded. Muttering courage...I began to walk down to my..Lover.

As I got closer I began to see the tent more clearly. There were candles all around and I noticed I was stepping on something soft . I bent down to pick it and I noticed they were Tullips..flowers..leading straight into the tent.

Hmm..how romantic.

In front of the tent was a little mat. On it were a bottle of wine and two glasses. All around were candles..it was a little gesture but I loved it..well, it softened my nerves a little bit. I stood still wondering what next to do. There was no one inside the tent..so where the hell was he?

Should I call his name? Do I use Tony or Darling...or probably lover?

While I debated on this, I felt someone's hand on my shoulder grabbed me suddenly and bent me slightly backwards while supporting me with the other arm it was so sudden I almost screamed out but then the scream died in my throat as soft lips covered mine.

I didn't flinch but stood still as the kiss deepened..it was rough and it was like he was trying to suck the life out of me...then I kicked him somewhere deep down!

"Outch!" He cried out..I thought he was going to drop me but he made me stand uprightly and steadily before letting go of his arm. He was very strong...I gave him that.

"Darling what was that for?"

That was when I saw his face. His hair waz plaited in corn rows to the back. His eyes shone in the candle light..they seemed to glitter flecks of silvery light. His face was strong and defined. His lips were drawn in a sexy smirk and his strong arms slightly rough, held me by the waist as he stared deep into my eyes.

"My Kathia..I missed you so much my love"

My heart was beating so fast, was it because he was such a fine man and I was drawn to him or there was something formidable that spelt doom . I could barely talk as he drew me closer and embraced me tightly. pressing me against his hard balls  as he held me tighter.

"I missed your scent..your touches..your body..everything about you my love"

He went on and on as his hands began to travel all around my body ..he grabbed my ass and kissed my neck while breathing on it ..then his hands found my breast and then a light popped up in my head and I pushed him away.

He seemed surprised and was breathing heavily..he came closer but I backed away..his eyes were filled with desire and lust..

"What is wrong Kathia..don't you miss me?"

I prayed my voice wouldn't betray me.

"I miss you too..Tony..so much.." I tried to form the words.

"Then why do you push me away my love..come, let me make love to you. Let me make you feel like a woman"

He came closer as he pulled me again with force..he was too strong..part of me wanted to stay and enjoy this..but the other part was screaming run run run... !

I couldn't move...I shuddered as he planted kisses in between my cleavages while he slowly unzipped my gown.

"I want you so badly my Kathie..I've missed you so much.."

I kept quiet..I have never felt this way in a long time..Actually ...not ever...my body was tingly and wanted more..just as he unclipped my bra and my breast spilled into his hand..Miguels face popped into my head and I backed away suddenly ....

That was when I realized his jean was unbuckled,.,and I could see how turned on he was..just as I was...

He looked hurt and disappointed at me while I try desperately try to pull back my hanging breasts..

"What is wrong with you Kathie!" He seemed angry.

I was just trying to get as much air as I could..unable to meet his gaze..

He buckled his jean quietly..while I fixed my gown..both of us were quiet. I for one felt so embarrassed and confused.

Then he came close to me,,holding my hand .

"What happened to my Kathia..because this is not my Kathie"

He had no idea how truthful that was...

"Tony..I know I must seem a bit off today..." I started gently..

"A bit? try massive... Leaving your love high and dry..that is so mean baby. You never did that to me before. Do I need to be worried. Are you tired of me or has he made you fall for him?"

"No Tony. I am just in the middle of something."

"Middle of what Baby?"

"I am on my period Tony.." I said without thinking. I didn't know how to just break it off with him..there was something about him which I didn't understand yet..but breaking up right now..I felt..it would be too dangerous.

He smiled and moved closer to me. Kissing me on the forehead.

"That I believe Kathia..but next time..let me down easily not harshly "He said sweetly into my ear as he kissed me again.

I sighed. That worked.

"Come, sit down."

We sat on the mat as he poured us wine. While he did..I saw his face more clearly in the candle light. He seemed huge with body like a warrior's. He had a muffler hanging around his neck..he was really such a very attractive man..the type that could only be seen in the front of magazines. I actually didn't really blame Kathia right now..how could you be with such a man and make so many mistakes..God help me,,why didn’t I just break it off right now..and why was I starring at him so intensely...why did I want him at the same time and I still felt how dangerous he could be..how in the world would I woo a man that didn't want me and abandon one that wanted me and who could be a danger to me and mine....

"If you keep looking at me like that..I would just have you right now regardless of your leakage.." he said with a laughter and I flushed in embarrassment but I laughed all the same.

"The feast would come soon..make the whole thing miserable and let your husband tell the king ..we could finally run away together. Just like we have planned" He said..smiling at me.

Oh wow! That was the plan! Miguel tells the king he wants out and then I run away with him ..abandoning my people....

"What about my people ?"

He chuckled and squeezed my hand lovingly. "Your people? I thought you never cared about them. You yourself said they could find their way and we needn't worry about them. You have lived many months of misery for them, staying with Miguel. You can leave anytime soon and we will never come back"

Well..this was really something to talk about...

"What about your people...?" I asked curiously.

He scoffed and placed the back of my hand on his lips, kissing it tenderly.

"My people do not matter ..You matter my love. Why are you asking me these questions. Do I need to be scared?"

I shook my head quickly. "No my love"

"Okay then. Just be there on the feast night. We will work everything out there"

The feast night.....

"I should go home Tony"

I thought he was going to be angry..

"You should change..I understand..you are usually not comfortable when on your period"

He pulled me closer and embraced me.

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

"So you mean you didn't break it off My lady"

Bree asked when we were finally in my room.

"I couldn't Bree. I dunno why I didn't but I just need to be patient . I needed to find out what his plans were. "

"So what are they?"

"Bree. He is against everything I plan to do.

Read " Synder-Ella " by the same author ( Tobi Loba )

. he wants me to mess up my marriage, abandon my people and run away with him. It is because of him that Kathia..I mean Myself has been so mean all this while. What am I to do"

"Well..you need to make things work in your marriage My lady. You need to change the prince's mind about you. "

"But how Bree, the time is getting so short now"

"Well....I just happen to know how" Bree stated. Holding up a letter.

"What’s that?" I asked.

"It was a letter written by the prince to invite one of his ladies...named..Lady patricia to his little hide-out somewhere far away from town..I got the letter from, you know.." She winked.

"Oh oh..Emeka..please tell me you didn't sleep with him"

Bree laughed. "Noo,,,well,,,not yet"

I got the letter and began to read. By the address, the lady seemed to be someone of great value especially with the title "Lady". He wanted her to meet with him in his humble cabin at some place called  Lover’s Eden. He also said Musa would come pick her up tomorrow morning and that they were going to be there for a while till they leave for his father's feast where he presents her as the bride he wants.

"Bree..he wants to marry this lady" I said in a bitter tone.

"He won't.."

"It’s too late Bree..all this has been just a waste of time"

"You can still get him My lady"

"But how!"

"If you go as lady Patricia My lady..then you can work your way from there!"

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

Heheh! Do you understand their new plan now? Going as Miguel's concubine. These two are just so crazy.

So, do you think Kathia made a mistake by not breaking it off with Tony? Also, what do you think of the fine guy?
