Chapter 30: CHAPTER THIRTY

I sat there in despair, with tears in my eyes, was it all a lie? Or I really was fooled all this while, did she really kill them all like she claims? Why didn’t Sebastian tell me all this while? Why did he keep all these facts from me? What am I to her? What did I ever do to her? Sebastian was a stranger to me. How do they know so much about me? Why did they suddenly appear in my life? What was going on? I cried, trying to find answers to all my hidden questions while I screamed “what did I ever do to you? Why do you find so much joy in taunting me?” I really didn’t understand what was happening but it was a reality and my life was going to end if I didn’t find an answer to all these questions soon. I have been living my life in a web of lies, but why? Why didn’t he say anything to me about all these? I continued crying while she made fun of me.

“You really think you can have him? No, my dear he won’t ever come close to you he’s mine and I wouldn’t leave him for a riff raff like you. So get this into your skull. In two days you would be killed if he doesn’t get married to me and forget about him coming to save you, he won’t. I will make sure he doesn’t, I won’t only make sure I would see to it that he wouldn’t.” She said as she kicked me in my stomach leaving me groaning in pain and laughing as she left the room.

Reality dawned on me . I was really helpless, power reigned and I had nothing. Ayesha had everything at her disposal: power, wealth and everything she really wanted. I looked up trying to speak to the heavens. Has the Gods forsaken me? Is this how I was going to end without a mark on earth, would I really join those with their dreams unfulfilled in the grave? Why does it have to be this way? Must the weak always feel the wrath of the powerful? Why can’t the weak live the life they want to without being oppressed by the powerful? Must everything always feel so crazy over here? I really want to get revenge, I want to see her cry, I desperately wanted her to feel what I felt. And I want to do it without Sebastian immediately I made a resolve to make her cry and I wouldn’t die here I would make sure to get my revenge on her and I would make sure she cried and beg for my mercy so much that she wouldn’t ever recover from the trauma I would show her, I swore on my ancestors grave.

I wanted to escape but I was too weak to do that. I knew Sebastian would still come for me. I waited desperately for that moment and stayed there with my unwavering resolve. I waited for the perfect moment to start planning for my revenge.

After the whole day I didn’t move from the spot I was and I didn’t sleep and it was a day to go and Sebastian hasn’t been here. When someone pushed open the guy I knew this was my only chance to escape, I looked to the guy “I want to ease myself please.” “No I can’t let you out of here, that was my order.” I had to find a way to convince him somehow to allow me out of here.

“So you’re saying you’re not man enough to guard a common girl like me to ease herself. I wonder if you’ll even be able to have sex with your wife.” I said, trying to pry into his ego. Men love their ego and they would do anything to protect it. I hoped he was egoistic even a bit.

“Really? You think I’m not man enough?” he said.

“If you were man enough you would not be scared to guard a girl to ease herself.” I said.

“Alright get up and let’s go. I would show you I was man enough.” I stood up and he dragged me with him from the room. It was the first time I had seen light in two days and my eyes took a bit of time to adjust to the changes in environment. How would I escape this place I thought, how would I get away from him. I had to do it now or never. I looked at him and he was in front of me and he moved so fast I had to devise a plan quickly or this wouldn’t work. I intentionally tripped, withdrawing my hand from him and as he looked at me I intentionally kicked his groyne and he fell on his knees. I couldn’t let him stand so I continued kicking his groynes continuously until I felt him go unconscious. I really didn’t know the way out of here. The building was filled with lots of rooms and corridors but I really didn’t know where to go through. I was confused. I stood there trying to decide where to pass through. I couldn’t decide when I heard someone shout “why’re you here” my mind left me I was caught, why did this have to happen I stood there not knowing what would happen with me. After putting so much effort into escaping I really didn’t see this coming and for the first time in my life I hurt someone. I really didn’t know what would happen with me. If I stood there I began to run while he shouted “stop” and ran after me. Will it end this way? Is it the end of everything? I can’t allow it to? What should I do?

I continued running without looking back but all my efforts were in vain when I heard something hit my head and I went blank.
