DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER ONE: KNOWING THEMSELVES
"Damn!" Purple stared at the clock for the umpteenth time while tapping her trembling feet. The white bleached walls of the hospital and its antiseptic smell made her more sensitive and conscious of the blood pumping through her veins. Fear embraced her like an old friend, a draining, exhausting fear. A fear that could not be tamed. It enveloped her insides so much that she trembled, wishing the world were not so full of evil. While there were good people in the world, others were lurking in the darkness, their sole purpose to cause destruction, to ruin happiness. These 'others' existed to make her life miserable, at least so she thought. She sat still, wanting to cry, yet hating herself for being so vulnerable with her emotions, so weak. The solution was not tears, and she knew that. The sight of a doctor distracted her thoughts and she rushed over to take his hands in hers "Doctor— My mom… is she okay?" She asked, her voice rising up and down in quavers. The man looked at her
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWO: THE SECRET
It was Lucas Duke! The man of her past! The memories came together, piece by piece, and she welcomed them. Years back while she was just ten, Lucas was her darling sweetheart. Infact, she got to see him everyday, both in school and at home. They had developed a bond, a connection, a friendship, until suddenly, one day, just like the flashlight of a torch, her mother had flown her out of the country with no particular reason. She hadn't seen him since then, but now he stood before her looking so sweet and hot like he hadn't felt her absence. She couldn't tell if it was a good thought or a bad thought. He looked up right at that moment, and his eyes locked with hers, unable to tear away. Immediately, the world came to a standstill between them. It was a timeless moment, time seemed to slow down, until they had communicated with their eyes, with their bodies. She broke the gaze and made to walk away, conscious of the shuffling of feets behind her. Soon enough, he caught up with her
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER THREE: THE KIDNAP
The employees at STANFORD COMPANY scurried away in fear and terror, refusing to breathe. The arrogant chiseled bastard proprietor had returned, his face hardened like a piece of rock. He returned no one's greetings and greeted no one, not even with a wave. His mind was a mess. His pulse palpitating, his body tensed and his lips shivered. Why couldn't he block her out? He kept seeing her in his dreams, when he woke up, when he was at work, even when he was having a bath, he kept seeing that one face. Her smiles were all he could see when he was having a bad day. "No!" He snapped, trying to shake the thoughts away. And was she thinking about him as much as he was thinking about her? He doubted that, she had made it clear when she chose to get married, that he was out of the question, out of her life, their relationship had ended twenty years ago, twenty fùcking years ago. So why could his mind not get rid of the feeling of her thighs against his? Purple Brendon! The feelings made
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FOUR: LET'S BREAK UP.
Three weeks later. Purple sat on the couch, nursing her bruises. Her scalp was aching with a pain she could not describe, her fingers were damaged once more. Tears flowed freely from her cheeks, her husband had bullied her again. She had gotten married two weeks ago to John. It was in the marriage that John showed his real self. He constantly reduced her worth to a punching bag. It was a suffocating hell, She was tired of complaining to her mother who she was beginning to detest. She knew that in reality, her mother was being plain selfish and greedy. She pushed her into this hell of marriage to claim all the benefits that came with it. Or else? What mother would claim ignorance of the plight of her daughter? What mother would refuse to look beyond the fog in the air to save her daughter? It was only a mother who had designed her existence to embrace heartlessness like a lover. Her mother fitted perfectly into the description. Her phone rang and she looked at the number. It was
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FIVE: BLACKMAIL
Lucas smiled at first, refusing to believe. Then slowly, his face changed as the look on Purple's face became tight and grim. "What's up with the confrontation", his questioning eyes asked as he bent to pick up the paper that had fallen to the floor. He opened the letter in a sheer stiffened posture. As his eyes glanced down at the contents, he let out a squeal, gripping the sides of his head as if to cover his ears. "Who the hell gave this to you and what does this have to do with me?" "You should know Clara by now, the woman you are supposedly having an affair with. She is almost three months gone, pregnant for you" For a moment, Lucas thought his heart had stopped beating. He tried to speak, tried to dodge the fuzzy thoughts playing games in his mind, but could not. He could not fathom what under the heavens Clara was playing at. He knew as much as he could hear the thumps of his beating heart that the baby was not his. He was done with her a long time ago. How dare she mess
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER SIX: ANSWERS
Lucas peered over the hot sun as he waited for Clara. He tried dialing Purple's number in the process but kept hearing "service unavailable". He had dropped her messages on different platforms, but she neither replied nor read them. He knew she was still angry, but what he hadn't thought of was that she would go this far to express her displeasure.Sweat broke out in a vague amount on his forehead despite the air conditioning in the car where he patiently waited. The short, fumbling movements with his phone hammered the thoughts that had been lingering in his mind.He saw Clara from a distance and heaved a sigh of relief. As she entered the car, she apologized for her lateness and Lucas mumbled a reply, signaling the chauffeur to move the car"Where are we going? Clara questioned"I told you, I have an amazing surprise for you" he replied absentmindedlyClara smiled as she turned to look at his hard stoned face, she took in his gleaming white starched attire. His hair poured beautifu
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER SEVEN: LET'S GO HIKING
Purple felt a soreness in her throat that refused to go away. She had misjudged a man she was supposed to cherish because of a trivial issue. This was one of the moments she intended to stick by his side, trust in him, believe him, but she had not, and now, she had to act fast.She could not bear the thought of losing the only man she had ever felt a connection with. She dialed his number and he picked on the second ring"Can we meet please?""What do you want Purple," he said grimly"I just want to talk", her voice was filled with plea"I'm not in the mood to talk""I beg you, Lucas, please hear me out"Lucas released a croaked laugh"What a sad irony darling, a few days ago, I was in your shoes, begging, pleading with you to hear me out. But what did you do? You regarded my pleas as mere trifles. And now……."Purple sighed as she thought hard about his words"Fine… I'm in the house if you need me". He hanged upPurple cleared her desk hurriedly and left her office.As she sat on his
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER EIGHT: TURN OF EVENTS
Lucas stared at the bizarre pictures of the crime scene in wonderment. The tongues of the victims were slit and their eyes gorged. What they had done to deserve this brutality was a puzzle he could not solve in hours.His mind went to the state of turbulence in the company and he felt an odd sensation of dizziness spring up in him. He dialed a number on his screen."Hello, After a pause, he continued, any leads?""Yes sir, the autopsy has established that they both died by strangling. There are no traces of the weapons used for the slitting. However, the killers left a fingerprint that is currently traced,""Killers?""Yes, the style of the killing is the same, but we have established that they were murdered by different people"Lucas heaved loudly"How long will this take, Mr Cowen? The media are beginning to ask questions…"Cowen interrupted, "Be calm, Sir, I understand you're worried about the reputation of your company, but we are trying our possible best to…..""Maybe your best i
