Chapter 21: She is done😭

Chapter Twenty-One of Ruthless ❤️

Baby girl Tacha is done for good!

Are you happy to know our baby girl is free from Nathan🥺

"Mum, what is it?" Nathan watched Tacha while he received his call.

Tacha dressed up so fast. She couldn't find her panties so she dragged her skirt down instead.

"What! You are here! What are you doing here for God's sake mum?"

Tacha turned around at what she had just heard. Did she actually hear Nathan well? Mrs. Brown was here at the Lucas lounge. Never! Tacha ran into Nathan's room and packed his clothes. She threw them at him immediately, mouthing. Just wear it. At least your trousers.

Nathan smiled at Tacha's clumsiness while he was still on the phone. "Mum just wait for me down there. No one comes to the third floor without my permission and I'm not granting that to you so stay where you are." Nathan dropped his phone. He ended the call first before his mum could say anything else.

He saw Tacha fidgeting so badly. "Hey, what's wrong?"

Tacha ran away from the direction Nathan was coming from. At her. He laughed because she seemed really scared. "You are asking me what's wrong Nathan. For heaven's sake, it's your mum. If she sees me here, I'm done for this week. I will probably cry my eyes out cause she will definitely maltreat me. Nathan can you just dress up before she comes in here?"

"She's not gonna come here so relax," Nathan assured her. He successfully put on his short pants, but when Tacha realised he was coming to her again, she ran into the room they came out of and locked it from behind. "Will you just leave me alone?"

Nathan laughed, then his voice was back to normal. "You think that's possible after what we had today?"

Tacha didn't respond.

She knew Nathan had what he wanted already, and he would definitely back off from her.

You must not sleep with him, Tacha.

Her Mum's voice echoed into her ears and she scolded the voice for not coming out when everything was about to happen. She opened the door, peeped at Nathan who was fully dressed. She came out, hurried towards his main door, and went out of his office. Not waiting for Nathan, she ran to the elevator, hoping not to be spotted by Nathan's mum.

When Tacha got to the ground floor, she made her way into the crowd trying to hide.

"Tacha!"

"Tacha!"

The voice sounded familiar and it took her a while before she turned around. "Hi, Ricko."

"Tacha." Ricko stared at her. Her braids were scattered. Her blouse looked rumpled with two upper buttons undone. Tacha followed his gaze, and she cursed silently. She immediately smoothed her braids to the back, doing her buttons.

"Yes, how can I help you?"

"What are you doing here Tacha?"

"What does it look like I'm doing here? Having fun just like you or do I need your permission before coming here?"

"Ricko any problem?"

Tacha moved away at the sound of the voice that interrupted them.

"Sir... I'm... she's my..." Ricko stammered. "She's my ex. Surprised to see her here that's why I decided to say hi."

Nathan moved closer to Tacha, but she moved away quickly, looking up at Ricko. "I'm here on my own. I hope you are doing well."

"Oh my God! I found you." Nathan's mum cried. "Why would you tell them not to let me come into your office. Are you hiding someone in there? Is that where you always screw her!"

Tacha hid her face in embarrassment and luckily, Nathan's mum didn't spot her.

"You better not. I decided not to call you when your sister came home yesterday and told me you came to the party she attended and you were there like a house boy to carry... what's her name again? Tacha. Yes. That smelling, poor girl and her Mum. What an effrontery! Her mum for heaven's sake lives in your house. Nat are you going crazy? What's happening to you?" Mrs. Brown's eyes were desperately seeking an answer but Nathan let her continue. And despite being angry, she was trying her best not to shout, but with every tone, you could guess how furious Mrs. Brown was. As expected, her son would only let her shout like a crazy woman. She rolled her eyes. "I know that's how you will react. Since I knew you won't be home, I went to your house and drove that woman and her sick child out already."

Tacha jumped to her feet. Her mum and Angela this night. Where would her mum go? Oh my God! She couldn't find her phone. Ricko dragged his phone to her. He was with her the whole time. He couldn't leave Tacha alone after seeing her for a long time. He could tell Tacha wanted to reach someone. He couldn't tell what was going on, but he knew Tacha was tied up to Nathan somehow. How? That was what he didn't understand.

'Please I need you to call my mum. Please take her and my sister home. She has nowhere to go right now'.

Kenny must have received the message after it was delivered.

"Who am I seeing there? Jesus! It's her. It's her! " Mrs. Brown came closer to Tacha too quickly getting people's attention even more. Tacha was almost in tears as she pleaded with Nathan to do something. Her heart beating crazily for this crazy woman could do to her anything. As if expecting it, Mrs. Brown hit Tacha's face like a hard dough slammed on a plank with full force. "You are a bastard! Wretched girl like you eyeing my son."

"Mum!" Nathan yelled coming in between the two women. "Will you stop this nonsense already?" He grabbed his mum by the hand. He was used to having her scold him and tell him what to do, but not embarrassing Tacha in his presence. "If you don't stop this nonsense right now mum, I will call my security on you."

"Call them!" Mrs. Brown attacked Tacha again, grabbing Tacha's blouse, which was immediately torn, exposing her cleavage, but Tacha held onto it tightly. Mrs. Brown hit Tacha's head with her hand before Nathan could come in between them. Securities arrived as Nathan said and he dragged his mum out. He rolled his eyes at his workers and they slowly turned around to avoid losing their jobs. Nathan gripped Tacha's wrist instead, dragging her till they got to a secluded place.

"Tacha." He called her, but she wasn't raising her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, praying the ground could open up and swallow her at the embarrassment and shame she caused herself.

"Tacha!"

"What!" She yelled back at him, raising her head. Her eyes were red with a cloud of tears around them. "What is it now? I've ended up in your bed. My mum and my sick sister had been thrown out. I probably can't resume back to work. I'm done for it and I know it." Her tears came down. "So can you just leave me in peace now?"

Nathan held a paper towards her and she grabbed it.

"What!" Tacha exclaimed in a whisper, her eyes twisted in pain and regret, looking up at Nathan who was suddenly confused. "You are sick upstairs Nathan!" She yelled. "You really think I fucked you for one million naira! Am I really nothing to you at all?" She tore the paper. Her eyes were glittering with tears. "God! How come I suddenly forgot you are birds of the same feathers? Always paying people off because you think they are hungry right? And yes I am. I am hungry, poor, with a sick sister, a single mother, now jobless, with a fucked up life, and even more fucked up the moment I met you. But do you really think one million naira was enough for the service I rendered? You fucked me like an animal nigga! You probably were hitting me like you've never had sex in your entire life."

Nathan tried not to smile. He almost did. Tacha was going to be the end of him and he knew that already.

"God! I know I'm probably a joke to you, but can you just respect me a bit?" Tacha's eyes were instantly red from the embarrassment Nathan made her feel. She couldn't believe he stood there, listening to her only to end up laughing like she was nothing but a complete joke.

Tacha grabbed her bag, gripping her blouse tighter, and slowly walked out of Nathan's. He tried to hold her hand, but she slapped his hand before shoving it away. She was done.
