LOVE TRAIN : THE HEART OF A WOMAN (Part 17B)

Stella’s story continues
*
Lydia walked into my
apartment by 4pm looking
very serious and agitated.
“This is bullshit. Gutso must
be out of his mind” she
breathed fiercely.
“seriously this wouldn’t
have happened supposing
Chika allowed me to finish
off Kelvin when i had the
chance” i complained with
regret.
“baby girl think very well. I
just saved you from a lot of
troubles. Imagine what
would have happened
supposing you killed that
imbecile. Gutso would have
demanded 50million” Chika
defended.

“seriously i never planned
on going through all these
troubles just to have a little
chit-chat with Kelvin. Now
i’m also to pay for his
freedom and mine” i
murmured with regret.
“relax dear, we have two
days to plan. We aren’t
giving Gutso no dime. He is
a big fool who is trying to
bite the finger that fed him.
I have a cousin who is a
federal agent. I trust him
with my life. I’ll get him track
and locate Gutso. He’s a
good agent” Lydia said with
a reassuring smile while
Chika and I gasped
speechlessly.
“you mean an Agent as in
Secret service?. What the hell
are you thinking, trying to
involve a white collar cop?” i
asked with shock.
“don’t worry yourself, just
give me the money you
planned giving Gutso as the
balance for his job. The
money will be enough to
make him do the work” she
answered with certainty,
leaving me shaking my head
with worry.
“I hope the whole thing
won’t blow out of
proportion?” i asked
fearfully.
“relax dear, i already told
you he is my cousin. I trust
him with my life” she
assured me again, shaking
her head with concern.
“my dear revenge is always
a bitter game. It always ends
badly, but I can assure you,
that my cousin will hunt
Gutso down within a day. All
he needs to do is just track
the fools phone number.
Relax okay” she said
seriously but i was far from
relaxing.
“do you really believe your
cousin will risk his career
working for us. He is a
federal agent for Christ
sake” i asked again.
“We are in Nigeria, where
favours are done every now
and then. Don’t fear yet let
me talk to him first” she
replied, while my phone
rang that same moment,
drawing our attention.
“hello good evening, am i
speaking with Stella?” a
familiar female voice asked.
“yea” i answered curiously.
“it’s me Lilian, Kelvin’s
colleague” she introduced
herself. I kept quiet.
“Kelvin was taken from his
house by unknown gunmen
early this morning. I don’t
know who else to call, I saw
your number in one of his
books. The police are
already aware. Do you know
any of his close family
member here in this city?”
she asked, leaving me
gasping for breathe with
her words.
It was very obvious. I was in
a big s--t.
