IZIGORA

Chapter 25

Sotonye turned right to the church at the same time a black jeep was driving out. She put the gear on reverse. However, before she could take her left foot off the brake pedal, the passenger in the front seat of the car caught her attention.

Izigora.

What the...!

She put the car on park realising what this was even as the driver of the other car honked impatiently. She turned off the engine and stepped out of the car, locking it behind her. The driver of the jeep stepped out of his car and marched in her direction.

Whoa! Was her first reaction as she was faced by the man, before she came to her senses. She had heard that Izigora's husband was very handsome but the description didn't do him justice at all. Even with the scowl on his face, Kainye Aku-Chidike was the most handsome man she had ever clapped eyes on. He was literally a breath-taker on two legs!

And an animal! She reminded herself. This was the man who had physically and emotionally damaged Izigora. She scowled back at him.

'What is wrong with you, woman?' he snapped at her. 'Don't you have respect?'

'Excuse me?'

'You had better move your car out of the way, woman.'

Handsome and ill-mannered. And some unfortunate women would be there servicing this animal!

'Where are you taking Izigora?' She demanded.

'I don't know who the hell you think you are, young lady,' he told her in a condescending tone. 'Frankly I don't want to know and I do not answer to you or anyone for that matter.'

'You don't say.' Sotonye said sarcastically, placing her hands on her hips, inadvertently drawing attention to her full hips. Kainye being the man he was looked at her, his eyes rudely and shamelessly undressing her. Another time and place and he would have seduced her into his bed. This wasn't the time!

Groaning her distaste at his attitude, Sotonye marched towards the passenger side of the car. Izigora appeared asleep but that wasn't normal. The commotion would have woken her up by now. What had that beast done to her?

As her fingers wrapped around the door handle, a larger hand knocked it off. She felt anger rise within her.

'You're not leaving this place with her,' she told the tall muscular man beside her.

'Says who? You had better stay the hell away from my wife.'

'Or you'll do what? Beat me up? Of course, it's only on the body of a woman that you have power, you coward!'

His hand moved reflexively to punch her as he would if Izigora had dared to speak to him in that manner. However, she had anticipated his move, having effortlessly and effectively goaded him. She caught his wrist and elbow and quickly twisted his arm, gliding smoothly around him and reaching out to grab his other arm. With both hands behind his back, Kainye dropped to his knees and she kneed his back, bringing him down to the sandy ground. It would have been more satisfactory if it had rained early leaving the ground muddy.

Kainye's shocked gasp and subsequent cry tickled her in ways she couldn't even begin to describe.

'How dare you...?'

'Do what? Humiliate you? You're lucky I have a pair of jean trousers on or I would have peed on you and marked you as a dog would a flower bush.'

Kainye's eyes widened at the thought but he didn't struggle much because of her hold. For one so slim she was strong.
