The Curse Of Cain - Episode 12

Calvin tossed and tossed in his bed until he finally pushed all the pillows off the bed unto the marble floor.

This is insane! Completely insane!

How did they expect him to make that….that…..(he couldn’t find the right word for her)to fall inlove with him, how could they even ask him to do such nonsense. For many centuries now he had forgotten and abandoned love. Every since Trister, he hadn’t even considered loving anyone or trying to please anyone and now when he was so close to having this bloody curse removed, he was asked to woo! This was just preposterous!

He had confirmed again from Sody why the triad would ask him to do such a thing.

“My Lord, love led you to do something evil and you have to make it right with love as well.”

Again that day, he had slammed his tablet against the wall and broken the screen.

He had thought he was going to kill her and now he had to woo her! of all things! He cursed the triads for the hundredth time.

“Bunch of losers, the lots of them”

Just then his door bell rang.

“Yea, come in.” He growled.

Five of his men, accompanied by Ruzo, his right hand man, walked in and they all assembled themselves in front of him, arms behind their back.

“Yes boss, here we are.” Ruzo said.

Calvin sighed and signaled to one of them to pick the pillows up .

“Okay gentlemen…” He began, sitting upright. “How many of you have a girlfriend?”

The men looked at one another with a s surprised expression on their faces and no one came forward.

Calvin could read that they were probably thinking they were in some kind of trouble.

“Chill, guys! Don’t worry, I’m not killing anyone okay!” He said, bringing out his gun from somewhere behind him and empting its chambers but this further scared the guys.

“Look, I need help okay! I want to know how you were able to woo your girlfriends or your wives as the case may be.”

No response.

Calvin was getting impatient

. “Ruzo! Talk to these guys or I will lose my patience!”

Ruzo quickly confronted the men and spoke to them in an African language, surprisingly, two of them raised up their hands.

“So cat got their ears before?” Calvin hissed. “The rest can go, Ruzo, you stay.”

Some of the men dispersed while two men stayed behind. They looked older than the rest and less fearful.

“Alright gentlemen, so, how did you woo your girlfriends, tell me everything, maybe I can give you off days to even spend time with them this week.”

The two men exchanged glances and smiled excitedly.

“Our wives, boss, how did we woo our wives.”

Calvin raised a brow. “Wow! You are married. Fantastic, okay, tell me everything, especially if she’s someone you actually hated from the beginning.”

“Okay boss, I will go first.” The shorter of the two began….

Sonia sighed and sighed until she could sigh no more. She couldn’t understand what was happening and why she kept seeing all these men and not seeing him-the main devil-her terror. She was sure it was his idea to have her imprisoned. She had done all kind of crazy things to get his attention, to make him come for her, bitten his men and even kicked them, yet he wasn’t showing up.

. Why wouldn’t he come and confront her?

She was sick and tired of trying to escape, there was no escaping this place at all. She thought if she could reach some kind of agreement with this devil of whoever he was, he could let her go but first, what did he even want from her?

The elevator in her room chimed and the maid came in, bringing her lunch.

She was an older woman, plumb like most African women, dark skin with few wrinkles on her face. She looked like in her fifties. She said nothing as always. She just came in and went to the window, drawing the curtain.

“Exuse me Ma” Sonia started, determined to make her talk this time.

To her surprised, the woman turned to look at her for the first time.

Sonia stood up from her seat as she wasn’t tied up any longer but the woman shifted back.

“Look, do not kick me, bite me or do anything stupid.”

Sonia flushed in embarrassment. “ I am sorry, I would never do that to you…just that those men scare me and they hurt me, I am sorry.”

The woman eyed her and continued with her work.

“I am Sonia.” She continued but the woman only nodded.

‘Please, where is this place, where am I?”

The woman said nothing but instead walked to the other window, yet Sonia followed.

“I was abducted on the night of my bridal shower. Are you married? Do you have any idea how much my parents and hubby will be? Please help me, I just need to know where I am?”

The woman said nothing but kept on doing what she was doing. Sonia sighed and shook her head.

“Thanks for your help.” She said, before returning to the bed. While she lay on the bed, she saw the woman’s finger going about on the window blind as if trying to write something.

Intrigued, Sonia stood up and paid attention. The woman signaled to the roof, and then drew some letters in the air…

Sonia smiled, she was trying to warn her that they were being watched and that she couldn’t talk, and finally, what she drew were two letters,SA-

She gasped as she realized she had flown all the way from Nigeria to South Africa. She placed a hand on her forehead, trying to get over the shock.

“By the way, Miss, someone will come in to get you prepared.” The woman finally said.

“Prepared, prepared for what?”

“To get you dressed to eat with the boss.”
