“STOP!!!!” Hillary screamed on top of her voice!
Everyone turned to the entrance door as she raced inside. She hiked towards her brother and hugged him in a cheerful
mood. He looked at her puzzled.
“What’s
going on?” he asked her.
She
touched his face gently. “My brother you can finally be with Renee. There is no
need to continue the wedding. I hope they have not declared you husband and
wife?”
“No but
I have to marry Melissa.”
“Hillary
what is the meaning of this?” Melissa asked angrily.
She
turned at the raging bride. “Oh just shut up or I will do it for you. Now I
know why you called me daft. I was an idiot for not reading the documents before I signed them.” She
looked at Hector. “The signatures on the documents are fake.”
“What!”
Hector exclaimed. “How can you tell it’s fake?”
Mrs.
Harriet rose up panicking. She was helpless that her children had found out
what she had done.
“I
signed them,” she replied her brother. “I forged dad’s signature and I will
explain everything later to you.”
Hope came to meet them. The congregation
watched them like a movie. Some were murmuring to one another. The Preacher stared at them speechless.
The
facial expression on Hector's face lightened up with a happy smile. “Are you sure
this is true?”
“Yes!”
He
jumped up enthusiastically and grabbed his sister. “You have saved my life!!”
Melissa
who had realized Hector had known the truth tapped him on his shoulder.
“What?!!”
Hector asked.
“Let’s
go ahead with the wedding,” she said pitifully. “Don’t disgrace me.”
“You
disgraced yourself when you blackmailed me to marry you!” He uttered.
The
congregation exclaimed in shock.
Her
father rose on his feet and walked to Hector. “You will regret this!”
“I will
regret nothing! I have a gift for you and your daughter.” He turned to Felix
his best mean. “Where is the video cd?”
Felix
dipped his hand inside his suit jacket and brought it out. He gave it to
Hector.
Hector
threw it at Melissa’s father. “After watching it, you and your daughter can rot
in hell! And if you come after me or my family, the video will be leaked!”
His
mother motioned towards him in tears. “My son, please forgive me.”
“How
could you betray your family by allowing Melissa to manipulate you to blackmail
me? Your own son!”
“It was
the work of the devil.”
Hope
added. “You will never change mom and I don't want Hector to forgive you.”
“Please
help me beg him.” She cried out.
"I cannot
believe that you will do this to Hector,” Hillary said to her mother. “I trusted
you yet you deceived me to sign those papers. What if I never saw the documents
with Hope? What if he had married Melissa before I ran here? I am not only mad
at you but I will never forgive you!”
She fell
on her knees. “Please my children forgive me.”
Peter
rose up from where he sat down and went towards Mrs. Harriet to lift her up.
“Please forgive your mother.”
“Never!”
Hector snarled. “She deserves it.”
Felix
whispered into his ear. “I saw ten missed calls from Weyinmi. He also sent a
text that they know the location where Michael went to and the criminal Jado
has been caught by them.”
“Very
good.” Hector said. “Call Weyinmi now!”
“Okay.”
Hector
apologized to the preacher and their guests for wasting their time. The three
siblings all walked out together leaving their mother with Peter. Felix was on
the phone with Weyinmi to know the latest news. As they approached the entrance
gate, Hector was the first person to sight Ebube and Mrs. Alice coming towards
them. He hurriedly motioned forward to Renee’s mother and fell on his knees.
“I know
I have offended you and your daughter but I want you to forgive me.”
“Please
stand up but how could you do this to my daughter?”
He
uplifted. “I was blackmailed.”
“What!
We never knew.”
“I have
cancelled the wedding.” Hector said.
“Thank
God.” Ebube said with a smile. Mrs. Harriet rushed to her children and fell on
her knees, pleading for forgiveness.
Her
children ignored her.
“Where
is Renee?” he asked.
“Renee
is heartbroken and whatever your mother has done please forgive her.”
“You
have no idea what she did.”
“Whatever
the case may be, please Mr. Hector, Mrs. Hope and Miss Hillary, forgive your
mother.” She fell on her knees too.
Her
children were surprised, some of the guests outside gawked at them. Hector
raised his mother and Mrs. Alice up.
Hope
said to her mother. “I will beg Hector to forgive you if you accept Renee.”
“I
accept Renee! She’s my daughter in law now.”
“Not
only that,” Hillary added. “You will love and treat her like your own
daughter.”
“I have
always loved her,” she said soberly. “It was because I wanted Hector to marry
Melissa that was why I behaved foolishly. I was not thinking straight when I
agreed for my son to be blackmailed. I accept Renee.”
A smile
glued Hector’s lips. “I am very happy to hear this mom.” He hugged her tightly. "I forgive you."
"Thank you my son."
"Thank you my son."
Mrs.
Alice was almost in tears. “We need to go back to the hotel to tell Renee
everything. I think Michael is with her now.”
“You two
should never have followed Michael. He is the one that sent a criminal to shoot
you.”
They all
bellowed in shock .
Peter
and his wife opened their mouths. Mrs. Harriet placed her hands on her head.
“Michael
is responsible?” Hillary asked. She was dazed by the accusation of her half-brother.
“He did it
to tear our family apart and he wants half of everything dad worked hard for.”
Hope
said. “You helped father too and you deserved what he gave to you.”
“I was
ready to give him two restaurants and a filling station, he rejected them.”
“Michael
is greedy.” Mrs. Harriet said. “My sister seduced my husband and they slept
together. I don’t blame him but his mother.”
“We have
to contact my daughter,” Mrs. Alice said. “I don’t have my phone here with me
and I have never trusted Michael alone with her. I am scared, please let’s go.”
“He
won’t hurt her,” Hector said and turned to Felix. “Any latest news?”
“They
have arrived at the hotel and heading towards the room.”
“I think
he will be arrested before we reach there.” They hopped into their cars and
drove off.
*******
“Get
your hands off me!!" Renee shouted at Michael.
“But I
want you.”
“Don’t
you know I am pregnant?”
“So?”
“Leave
me alone, please!” She tried to walk to the bathroom but he grabbed her right
hand and tossed her on the bed.
“I want
you!” his eyes were angry.
“I don’t
want you!!!”
“You
want Hector right?!” He hit her on the face with the back of his hand.
Renee
shocked, scared and hurt covered her face and began to cry.
“Shut…”
The
knock on the door interrupted him.
“Who is
that?” he asked and walked to the door.
“Room
service.” A female voice replied.
“I did
not order for anything, you can go.”
“I ordered
for some food.” Renee lied. She wanted to use the opportunity to leave the
room.
He
turned to her direction with a scorn on his face. “What did you order for?”
“Food,”
she said. “I ordered for the food before you came here, I don’t know why she is
bringing it now.”
Michael sighed
audibly and faced the door. He opened it and in front of him was the
private investigator pointing a gun at his face. The female waitress he used
left them alone.
“What’s
the meaning of this?” he asked stunned and shaken to see Weyinmi with the man.
Renee rose from the bed afraid and motioned towards Hector’s friend.
Michael
got a surprised smack on the back of his head from Weyinmi. “You are nothing
but a heartless human being.”
“You are
under arrest for an attempted murder.” The inspector said to him. “We have a
witness and a record of your conversation with Jado this morning.”
“That’s
a lie!” he said. “Jado will never betray me!”
“You
hired him to kill Mrs. Alice Kayode.”
“What!”
Renee exclaimed in extreme shock.
“He was
the one that sent someone to kill your mother.” Weyinmi explained. “Thank God
your mother survived it.”
Renee
walked up to Michael and landed him two hot slaps. “That is for my mother you
monster!”
“I will
come back for you!” he fired at her.
“You
will not come out from prison until you are old and weak,” Weyinmi said. “Hector
and her will be together.”
“That’s
impossible!”
Renee
facial expression changed. She was surprised and sad at the same time. “I can
never be with a married man.”
“Hector
will explain things better but I have good news Renee.”
"Good
news?”
“Yes, Hector
cancelled the wedding.”
“What!!!”
Michael yelled.
The
inspector handcuffed Michael and whisked him away. He shut the door and left
Renee and Weyinmi alone.
She
widened her eyes. “Ar.. are.. y..you sure?” she stammered.
He
smiled widely. “Yes Renee. He was blackmailed to marry Melissa but everything
changed. You and Hector will finally be together. He’s on his way to see you
with his family and your mother.”
“My
mother?” she asked surprised.
“Yes.” he
replied. “She went to the church and they are coming to take you home.”
Tears
hovered round her misty eyes. She shut her eyes and when she opened them, tears
dropped down her face.
Weyinmi
touched her slightly on the right shoulder. “You should be happy. Renee you
don’t have to cry anymore.”
“It’s
tears of joy.”
“Can I
hug you?” he asked her with a sincere smile on his face.
“Of
course!” She said and started laughing. Renee released herself and went into
the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned it with a face towel.
She faced the mirror and grinned. "Thank you Jesus." She walked to the door and opened it, Hector stood in front of her.
She faced the mirror and grinned. "Thank you Jesus." She walked to the door and opened it, Hector stood in front of her.
“I can
explain what…”
She
clutched her arms around him eagerly. “You can explain later.”
Hector
pressed her tightly against his body. “Forgive me.”
“I
forgive you.”
He could
not stop smiling and stared into her eyes. “You look different.”
“How do
I…”
Hector
locked his lips into her and they kissed hungrily and passionately. The
feelings they felt surged through them. They did not want their lips to be
apart.
Mrs.
Harriet clearing of her throat stopped them. She embraced Renee and apologized
to her for everything.
“Thank
you ma.”
“There
is no need to thank me my daughter. We are going to be best friends.”
Everyone
all cheered up including Hillary and Hope.
“You are
going to be a grandmother soon.” Mrs. Alice said to Hector's mother.
Their
astonished faces gazed at Renee.
Hector
asked. “You are pregnant?”
She
nodded with a grin. He carried her happily. Mrs. Harriet began to dance and her
daughters joined her.
“I need
some privacy with Renee.” Hector said to all of them.
They
understood and hugged Renee one after the other.
Hillary
whispered into her left ear. “Welcome to the family and I promise to be a good
aunt to your child.”
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
They
agreed to visit the bar section of the hotel to celebrate.
They shut
the door after they left them. Hector looked at her and frowned.
“Why are
you frowning?” she asked.
“Why is
the ring not on your finger?” he asked. “I told you never to remove it.”
Renee
smiled. “You will never change.” She said and took out the chain she wore round
her neck. The ring was used as the pendant.
Hector
beamed. “I will always love you.” he told her.
“I will
always love you.”
He undressed
Renee, carried her on top of the bed, and murmured. “Spread your legs,” he
said. “I want to play with you.”
Renee obeyed him.
*******
Melissa
and her father could not believe what they watched. She could not watch further
after she knew what was going to happen next. She was disgusted.
“I never
knew that girl recorded us. I am sorry my daughter.”
She
shook her head. “I am done.”
“What
does that mean?”
“I can
no longer stay here with you in this house anymore! How can you sleep with a
prostitute? A powerful man like you! I am disappointed father.”
“I am
sorry for the mistake.”
“You
have not only embarrassed yourself but me!!” She walked out on her father.
