Chapter 11

Kelvin's POV

I left the house and made for my car. I turned on the ignition and drove off. Two minutes later, I felt goosebumps. I parked my car at the corner of the road. Something was amiss. I only felt sudden goosebumps when danger lurked ahead. I didn't wait to see what the danger was. I quickly reversed and made my way back to Camilla's home. I was going to spend the night.

I knocked gently on the door and it was opened soon after. Her jaw dropped when she saw me.

"Won't you let me in?", I asked. She opened the door wider in response and I entered. She was putting on a bathrobe. I looked her and longed to feel her skin under mine. Little Kelvin was fast asleep on his bed. My eyes went back to her luscious lips. I remembered how her lips tasted the last time. I walked closer before I could stop my self. I ran my hands gently over her lips and asked tenderly, " Can I?"

She didn't respond and at the same time, she didn't push me away. I bent down and placed my lips on her. I sucked her lips gently. I had missed her. Our tongues wrestled and my hands slid into her bathrobe. I carressed her tender breasts and she let out a soft moan. I had her right there and we found our way to the bed for another round. It was so intense that we fell asleep right after that.

I woke up the following morning and stretched my self. I felt someone's weight on my arms. It was Camilla. We had cuddled all night long and we were both naked. Just then, Camilla woke up. She was embarrassed to find her self naked and in my arms. She quickly covered her self with the sheets. I stood up calmly and put on my trousers. The memory of the previous night still evergreen in my memory. It occurred to me that I had not used any form of protection last night. I turned to her and asked, "Are you on birth control?", I knew the question was somewhat stupid. She was possibly not. Her answer was negative. The last thing I wanted was another baby, not now I had father's secrets to dig up and Silas to deal with. I buckled my belt and put on my shirt while studying her closely. She was clearly uncomfortable with the way i was staring at her but I refused to avert my eyes. I took my car keys from the table. Only then did I take my eyes off her. I opened my wallet and took out some money. I placed it on the bed near her saying, "Get some contraceptives. I am sure you do not want another baby as well. Take care of your self and of course, Kelvin". I bent down and kissed her. I removed her hands which was holding the bedsheets firmly to her body and put my mouth on one of her nipples. I couldn't get enough of her. She quickly pushed me away. I smiled and left.

I got home that morning to prepare for work. There was a solemn atmosphere in the house. I wondered what had happened. I only noticed that the eyes of some household servants lit when they saw me. I met father halfway up the stairs.

" Good morning Father", I greeted.

"Where have you been?", he asked, his voice full of worry and concern. Before I could respond, he slapped me very hard across the face. I staggered and quickly regained my balance. The change in his countenance was too swift that I failed to notice it. At first, it was one of worry and concern which was immediately replaced with anger and fury.

" Where did you go last night? You left me worried and you didn't pick your calls. I thought something bad had happened. How many times do I have to tell you to always go out with your driver and to avoid late nights?".

It was then that I remembered my phone. I took it out of my pocket and sure enough, there were so many missed calls from Dad and Victor. A call came in the heat of my pleasant moment with Camilla. I had silenced the phone to avoid disturbance.

"I am sorry ,Father", I replied to appease him and continued my way up the stairs. He didn't call me back. He knew of course that I was angry. No one dared lay a hand on me. I hated it and could commit murder for that. I was feared and respected by all and sundry. But no matter what happens, he is still my father and I had to accord him the respect.

I had my bath quickly and took some cereals. Outside, Victor was waiting patiently for me in the car. I got in and he asked, " Kel, where were you yesterday? I almost lost my job because of that "

"I am sorry. But don't worry about me. I will be fine", I finished and closed my eyes. It was an indication that I was done with the conversation.

Sophia's POV

I stared into space. I thought of any possible mistake but there was none. I knew better than to incur Mr Silas wrath. I, of course, didn't like working with him and for him. I had to hurt a lot of people. I felt a prick of concise but he most probably had no human sympathy. He only did what he felt was good and will benefit him. I longed to escape but I could not. He knew my weakness and sure enough, held tightly to it. I couldn't think of a way out. I broke down in tears. I cried for some time before I consoled my self. Then, my phone rang.

" Hello", I spoke into the receiver

"Good evening Sophia. It's the teacher at Kelvin's school", the person at the other end said.

" Ohh! How are things going? "

"I am sorry,but I have resigned. I can't risk my life by provoking some one high up"

"What do you mean?", I asked with emotions between fear and anger.

" What I mean is that I have resigned to avoid offending the biggest name in this country. Frost".
