My feet firmly planted to the floor, I was mortified
and scared beyond reason. Was Chioma dead? The loud bang that definitely
sounded like a gun shot, did Chioma take her life because of the break up.
Was it really necessary to tell her that I had
feelings for my ex and she was in the next room; clearly Chioma wasn’t so
surprised, she already knew about it.
Chioma seemed so calm talking about us falling out of
love with each other and referring to my undead feelings for my ex.
Kalu, you have done it again, you have successfully
driven an innocent girl crazy to the point of suicide, was this an elaborate
setup? If she can’t have me then no other person would, did she carefully
orchestrate this? Clearly, the hotel staffs heard the sound too; by now
security operatives should be heading to my room, a country where
investigations are not properly done, if you were in the scene when an act was
committed, you are guilty of the said act
Kalu, you have outdone yourself, how do I fix this?
As I stood there trying to come up with a solution, a loud knock on the door
interrupts my thoughts. Oh my god, they are here already. How do I fix this? On
Monday, I was the richest bachelor to be married with a new deal that ran into
millions, Friday night, suddenly became my last day of freedom. My supposedly
planned wedding in few hours got cancelled few minutes ago; I was still
searching for the best way to inform both families. How did my life get this bad?
The loud knock on the door kept interrupting my thought process, tears dropping
freely from my eyes again, I was indeed screwed.
I was going to act cool like nothing happened,
thereby giving me enough time to fix this, frantically searching for my cell
phone to call anyone who could fix this, then I realize her clothes were
scattered in the room, shoes, make up kit, hand bags. Who brings this much
stuff to a hotel you were supposed to spend one night. It seemed like a set up.
My palms were getting wet, I was about to lose my mind, the knocks on the door
became consistent. I kept screaming I wasn’t decent; they should give me more
time.
I needed to get rid of her stuffs ASAP. I started
packing the clothes together, pushing them into an open bag, whilst searching
for where to hide it, i noticed the room had a balcony, I place the bag there.
I put her makeup kit in the mini fridge, her shoes I tossed under the bed, hand
bags underneath the pillow and then I used the duvet to cover the pillow.
I carefully scanned everywhere to eliminate her
presence, how was I going to explain a dead fiancé to anyone and everyone.
I took off my shoes, my shirt too, I was about to go
to the bathroom to pour water on my face then I remembered her body was in
there as well, took out a bottle of cold water from the fridge and emptied most
of its content on my body, hair and face. The knocks were getting really
intense, and then I heard a voice threatening to break the door down.
I finally opened; standing outside the door was the
receptionist, the owner of the hotel who was also my friend and business
partner that procured my recent multi-million dollar deal, three armed mobile
police staring at me. They enter the room, scanned thoroughly and asked if I
had a guest in the room, to which I replied no, that it was indeed my
bachelor’s eve night so it was just me in my room. I almost convinced them
until the receptionist noticed a lacy bra in the waste bin, of all places I
could have placed it, I chose a waste bin. The mobile police asked me again if
I had a guest in the room with me, by this time I was finished, so I didn’t say
a word. Everyone proceeded to the bathroom. And just before, the bathroom door
was opened another mini flash back, what if I didn’t even cancel my wedding? I
could have just managed a loveless marriage and kept my true love as my life
long mistress, no one would get hurt. Damn you Chioma for doing this to me. The
door finally gets opened; sitting on the floor with her wedding dress was
Chioma, with earplugs on, a bottle of vodka. Smoking Kush. If Chioma didn’t get
shot…then who did?
Hope it's not Kalu's ex! Next chapter pweaseeee😊
