LOVE TRAIN : THE HEART OF A WOMAN (Part 16A)

Stella’s narration continues
*
Two days later, I inspected
my new house with the
girls. It was something that
gave me great joy. The
house was just my taste,
beautiful, spacious and
enchanting.

The only ugly side of it was
the location. The house was
just at the outskirt of the
capital city.
I did all the necessary paper
work, left Lydia to complete
the rest and headed back to
Imo state the very next day.
I returned to owerri as a
changed person.
My heart was black, filled
with hate and revenge. I
had no care for anything
and even avoided Amara the
only close friend i had in
Owerri. She on her own side
was surprised by the
noticeable change in me but
couldn’t just figure out my
problem because i hid my
breakup with Kelvin from
her, using my new political
appointment as an excuse
to avoid her.
Yes i got the expected
political appointment, just
like my dad wanted. I was
made a special adviser, an
appointment which
weighed more power in
book than in responsibility.
Seriously i never got the
opportunity to perform any
credible task, but yeah i was
well paid monthly, plus the
government car i got for the
position.

I headed back to Abuja after
two weeks to continue with
my revenge. I was a woman
whose ego was totally
destroyed by a guy she
loved. There was nothing
else in my mind than
revenge. Creepy isn’t it??.
Don’t judge yet till it
happens to you.
I quickly moved into my new
house with Chika who
insisted in staying with me
in order to keep an eye on
me. Sure the girls were
supportive of my revenge
plans on Kelvin, but
something they saw in me
suddenly made them
skeptical about my true
feelings, thus the hesitation
i got from Lydia when i
demanded Gutso’s contact
from her.
“we all love you Stella, and
we want the best for you.
We have supported you in
everything, but we need
assurance that you aren’t
planning on killing Kelvin”
Lydia seriously said to me,
while Chika and her twin
sister nodded in agreement.
I gasped with shock.
“jeez. I’m speechless. You
girls are turning on me or
what?” I asked.
“no dear, we just want to be
assured that you aren’t
going to kill that b-----d.
C’mon it makes no sense
that you want him
kidnapped and kept in a
forest only for you to go
kick his legs. We believe you
have something else in
mind, and that’s the main
reason you insist on beating
him yourself. Please tell us,
we need the truth” she
begged, while i breathed
deeply.
Of course they were right. I
had something else in mind,
but no, i wasn’t going to
play into their conscience
nor admit anything to them.
I was smarter than that.
“I have paid Gutso the
hundred and fifty thousand
{N150,000} he demanded.
Surveillance, vehicle, house
and everything is ready, all
we just need is the truth”
Lydia begged anxiously.
“I just want to see the fear
in Kelvin’s eyes, when he
sees me holding a gun to
his face. I want him to plead
for his life. To scream and
beg for it, that’s all i want” i
said slowly as if i meant
every word, and it just was
a very satisfactory and
convincing answer to them.
They believed me without
knowing i Lied.
