Mark drove home slowly that evening feeling downcast.

He looked out of the window and spat in disgust.

He was a fool and had been taken for a ride.

Now he realized what a fool he had been by falling for such a cheap who-e like Ndidi.

As he drove home, he thought about his stupid actions.

Everything began to fall into place.

The fabricated stories, the Braless outfit, the empty hall in the studio, The non existence thick rug, the Beautiful bungalow in a lonely beach, the mirrored room, the way she cleverly hid her face with the pillow during their love making and the passive way Ndidi devoured him the very first day he met her.

Yea, he had been a sucker and these blackmailers will never stop until they have taken him to the cleaners.

They have forced him to transfer 10 million naira in a certain bank account when he regained consciousness.

He had searched for Ndidi but she had left when he was unconscious.

After the transaction, the boys had pushed him out and bid him farewell.

Mark sighed and cursed himself.

If only he had been more careful, he would have seen the red light.

But he was carried away by his sweet imaginations.

He arrived in front of his house and blew the horn.

Bashir opened the gate and he was about to drive in when a stranger tapped on the glass of his Hummer Jeep.

He suddenly recognised him as the guy with the camera in the mirrored room.

His first impulse was to come down, grab him and call his security guard Bashir.

But when he saw the guy grinning at him and waving a thick envelope at him, he maintained his cool and winded the glass down.

"What is it?"

"we want to see you buster."

replied Jack.

"Say what ever you wanna say and get lost."

Mark said in a thick voice.

"Not here Mr. Mark, Let's go inside your beautiful house, My legs ache and I need to ease the pain"

Billy said from the other side of the car and Mark turned swiftly

. He did not know he was there all these while.

"I heard you have the finest selection of French whiskey"

Chipped in Jack with a smile.

Bashir suddenly appeared behind Billy and looked enquiring at Mark.

He was a big tough looking military agent and for some seconds Mark was tempted to shout for help.

"I knew what you were thinking Mr. Mark, but if you hate publicity, better wipe that thought out of your mind. Our organisation won't hesitate to swing into action if anything happens to us."

Billy said and glanced behind his shoulder at Bashir.

"Sir what is the problem? are they disturbing you?"

Bashir asked Mark.

"No, its alright.

Read " Unholy Condemnation " by the same author ( Best Stevenho )

. I have some kind of business with their company. its ok. You can go."

replied

Mark with difficulty.

Bashir left them and moved back to the gate.

Mark drove in and both ruffians followed him in.

They exchanged look with Bashir and Jack grinned at him.

"Nice try toughie"

Said Jack and Bashir stared at them indifferently with his expressionless face. They moved inside the house with Mark.

Billy settled himself comfortably on the cushion chair and Jack went to the Liquor cabinet for a drink.

"These rich idiots really knew how to live"

commented Jack when he saw the mini fridge in the cabinet.

He opened it and took a bottle of French whiskey and two glasses.

"Care for some drink?"

He asked Billy who nodded.

"What do you want?"

Mark managed to say.

He was now afraid and suddenly felt trapped.

He remembered how Jack had handled him and flinch inside.

"Why don't you sit down and take a look at those glossy pictures of yours?"

suggested Jack as he walked towards Billy and handed him a glass of whiskey.

Mark sat down on the edge of his seat and with shaky hands; he picked up the envelope.

He brought out the pictures and suddenly felt nauseated.

The first picture showed his contorted face when he grabbed Ndidi's hair and the second one showed him riding Ndidi from behind with his head threw backwards; his mouth slightly parted.

He quickly threw away the rest of his pictures and cursed under his breath.

He longed for a drink.

"You don't have to feel bad. The video is even better. Check the micro chip memory card in the envelope, you will love the content of the memory card." 

Said Billy.

He slowly brought out a sheet of paper and handed it to Mark.

"If you don't want us to publish those pictures and videos online, kindly forward 2.5 million naira to these accounts."

Jack said.

Mark stared at the sheet and saw 8 different foreign Bank account numbers.

"But I have already sent 10 million to you guys?"

protested Mark and Jack suddenly looked bored.

"10 million? that's for a warm up buster, the real request is coming if you don't know. This one you are about to send now is to make sure our foreign accounts are still working."

Explained Jack with a smile that irritated Mark.

"Its like we will start with Facebook Jack. The video will circulate fast that way"

said Billy.

"No, I want to upload it on my youtube channel, that way I can make some cool decent millions with it."

Jack said and sipped his drink.

"What a nice whiskey"

he commented.

With trembling hands Mark brought out his phone and began to make the transfer.

"I hope this will be the last?"

He asked them with a little hope and the boys laughed.

"No buster, we are calling the shots here and will end this little game when we are bored with you"

replied Jack.

Billy brought out a mini pad from his pocket and checked it.

He was a man of little words.

Having confirmed the transactions; he signaled to Jack its time for them to leave.

"So we gotta enjoy this little token of appreciation with the latest chicks in town"

said Jack pleasantly. 

They stood up and walked away with calmness that annoyed Mark beyond human feelings.

How can they be so heartless? talking about the money he sent to them as if he just transferred a pop music to their phones. He was sunk.

Deeply sunk.

What will he do? He dare not go to the police.

The transaction is genuine and these fraudsters will surely publicize these video contents if he put one foot wrong.

How will he get out of this mess? He will go to Dr. Uche. Yea, Only Uche will get him out of this mess.

He stood up, took his car key and Without taking precautions; he abandoned the pictures there and rushed out of his house...
