Victoria could tell she was not alone as she drove from the village to her house. The men assigned to follow tried as much as they could to be inconspicuous but it wasn't possible.
When she drove out of the house, a car followed her from a distance and she was thankful because it made her feel secure.
She was surprised when she heard Amara's voice. She barely even remembered the girl yet Amara found a way to call her and warn her of the imminent danger. The girl had begged Victoria not to take her father away, she told her everything that happened and how her father was being manipulated by her mother because he was in love with her.
Victoria scoffed when she thought of how much danger she had faced within a short period of time. Charles was in danger now, it basically meant she was in danger too. She didn't want to panic but as the words of amara echoed in her mind she began to lose her grip on her courage.
"she's going to kill him if he doesn't come with her, my mother is completely insane now. It's been a very long time since her obsession started. She has been hiding in my hostel since she came back. She told me the cops are after her but if I ever told anyone they'd take daddy away. My dad is a good man but he just has his heart in the wrong place. Mother has a gun and I think Mr Charles is in grave danger."
Victoria didn't want to worry her mum by telling her why exactly she left, but she doubted if the woman wasn't already.
It was already 3am and she was still on the road, with a car speeding behind her and an uncertainty about Charles' condition.
She had thought of calling him but felt a strong conviction not to. What if Grace held Charles at gun point, her name popping up could ruin things for Charles.
Victoria laughed at how fast she was driving, for someone who was so unsure of her driving skills, her husband's life on the line had turned her fast and furious.
Thankfully the distance was closing and she could not wait to get to her house. As she drove into her street she turned off her headlamps and thankfully the hidden men got the hint and did the same too. With the moon up in the sky, she had gotten enough light that she required to see.
Victoria parked two houses away from her house and began to find away to her house. She got to her gate and realized that she hasn't thought about any plan. The gate was locked and she didn't want to make any noise. The men finally caught up with her and the other one gestured at the badge he wore. Victoria explained the situation her husband might in to the men and they got to work
"Madam we'll try to get into the house by scaling the fence, I suggest you stay out here while we try to fish him out"
"I'm not staying out here, if you go in there I'm coming with you before worry and anxiety drives me insane"
The man made protests considering how how high the fence was but Victoria was determined to get into the house.
The first two men went over with the help of a ledge and once they got in, Victoria was next. The other two men helped her get in and she practically jumped into the arms of the other two. Maybe losing her baby was not a bad thing after all. She thought to herself, God probably knew she'd be in this position. It was a bad thing she corrected herself, but not the worst thing.
The two men left her in the garage and went to inspect the house to find a way in. Victoria couldn't just stay put she went to the front door and when pulled the handle absent mindedly it opened. "Charles left the house unlocked"
Victoria tried to be as quiet as she climbed the stairs like a thief , she was almost at their room when she began to hear their voices.
"I'll go with you Grace, Victoria is not here and it's not like she loves me anyway" Charles said
You are a horrible liar, now don't joke with me, one minute you're protective of Vicky the next minute you're telling me you want to go just like that."
See Vicky is a slut, you know it, i know it. I thought she loved me but I saw the way she was with Jude"
Vicky couldn't quite believe what Charles was saying, why was he saying horrible things about her. She tiptoed to the door and thought of the next step to take while her husband still ranted
"maybe you're right, we should have fun while we prepare, it's not as if anyone is around to stop us" Charles spoke again
Something about the way he sounded made her angry.
Victoria stood still at the door eager to hear what Grace's response would be.
"First you have to remove your clothes , then we'll get right to it" Charles spoke again and Victoria could only wonder if he was drunk
"Do you really want that Charles?" She asked
"For someone interested in having fun, you don't look interested atleast your body does not seem to be and I can see clearly that you are far from interested with no clothing."
Charles was not naked, Victoria was sure that lady was lying through her teeth.
" well it's probably because I'm not used to making love to women with guns pointed at me"
Charles wasn't drunk, he probably did not mean any of the things he's been saying. Victoria was relieved to hear that but a gun pointed to her husband, where were the men supposed to keep her safe?. They were probably looking for her and didn't know she had already found her way in she thought.
Charles should just keep stalling Grace till they found their way in.
"Do you really want to make love to me?" Grace spoke again and the words stung Victoria's ears
"Yes" Charles replied
"would you make love to me if Vicky was here as well?"
"yes I will, like I told you, I loved her but she betrayed me I don't care about her" Charles replied
Grace chuckled
"Then open the door Charles , we might have a threesome afterall, isn't that right Victoria?"
Victoria's head jerked away from the door and she froze.
