Donovan 55
Donovan's words hinted at an inevitable doom, they were all aware of. Still, she tried to talk to him. "Please, I was going out to dry my clothes when..." she began, rushing her words so she could finish her explanation before any interruption could come from him. "Boma." he cut in, killing her voice. "Did I ask you to explain anything to me?" "No, but..." "Then shut your mouth." She bit her bottom lip and kept quiet. She met Phillip's sympathetic gaze through the rearview mirror and looked away. "I will listen to your explanations." Donovan assured her. "But that can only come after your punishment." he declared. "There is no need for any negotiations, baby, believe me. So don't even try because you'll only be wasting your time and mine." Boma shuddered and didn't utter a word. There was no point. "Meanwhile, I'm sure you've watched your performance." She tentatively watched him retrieve his phone and play the clip of her fight with the girl. It was the moment when she had

The drive after that was silent until Donovan received a call and she listened to him talk to the candidate he was supporting for the upcoming student union elections."I have told you not to worry. We have everything covered, Harry. Relax. If we don't allow other candidates to contest, it would be too clear that they were intimidated."He listened carefully for a while, a frown creasing his brow. "Do not do anything stupid, Harry. Leave the candidates alone. Gosh. The list of contestants is not even out. Everything is tentative...Harry!" Donovan hissed impatiently and ended the call. "Harry is getting on my nerves with his desperation." he told Phillip impatiently."What's his problem?""The elections have not even started and he's suggesting threatening the rumored opponents.""Gosh." Phillip said disapprovingly."He better not do something stupid or he will answer to me. I don't like this kind of rubbish."Donovan's phone rang and he received it abruptly. "Harry, please don't ca

Sunlight brightened the day, letting its rays through the half-open blinds in Donovan's bedroom. Boma lay asleep on the bed, with no signs of her waking up any time soon. She lay curled up on her side, wearing a sheer night dress beneath the sheets. Donovan was dressing up before the huge mirror, buttoning down his shirt. He was glad it was a lecture-free day. Boma had picked the right time to get into trouble. She was free to sleep all day after her ordeal the previous night. He was sure she had learned her lesson. He had no choice but to drive home the importance of adhering to his set rules. If other P.O. girls were not out there making headlines, he should lead by example. He could not afford any lapses in his domain. He liked her a lot, but he believed in the words of his grandfather who said to him "Son, love a woman, pamper her, spoil her, but never love her to the point of failing to keep her in line, otherwise you're going to end up like John the Baptist or Samson.

Boma considered his conditions, willing herself to make the best choice. From what he had just said, she was between the devil and the deep blue sea. It was either she was punished by him or his people. The thought of being exposed or left with a body of strangers caused her heart to fail. How could someone who professed to care about her, even consider such a thing? She wondered. She knew she had never dated, but this could not be love. She just turned eighteen. This was not what she fantasized about love. When watching movies, she saw the couple going on dates, holding hands, professing love to each other, walking by the beach, and sharing kisses, love, and laughter. She was expecting that someday she would meet her prince charming who would pamper her with love and attention, but now, her reality was a disaster. Everything Donovan had wanted from her, he took. He never asked. And now, she was beginning to consider it a miracle that he had yet to take her virginity. Perhaps ther

Boma could no longer ignore Fidelis's call. She decided to answer him and get it over with so he would quit.She received the call and placed it over her ear but she said nothing.She adjusted her position on the sofa. Her bum still ached as a reminder of Donovan's brutality."Boma." said Fidelis, his voice gentle. "I'm here." she said faintly."What's going on? You don't sound fine. Did you get my message?""Yes I did, but l ...I don't want to go with the plan anymore. I'm sorry."He paused in thought for a few seconds."Is it Donovan?" he asked. "What did he do?""Please I'm scared. I'm scared of what he will do to me if he finds out. Please, let's forget it." Boma's voice was frantic and whiny with trepidation.Fidelis was silent for a moment again and she wondered what was going on in his mind. She hoped he understood her situation now."Boma.""Yes.""I know you're scared, but please you have to listen to me. Frat guys are usually like that. They are bad. And my cousin, his temp

At his statement, she realized there was no escaping the party. Her senses were alert with rising anxiety that she was struggling to control.She could feel his fingers caressing her ringed finger. He lifted her hand and planted a kiss there.The ride became silent as they continued to the hostel.Boma's mind was pondering her situation. She didn't think she needed to worry as much. She recalled that Fidelis told her to strike her name off the list at her faculty. Or was the same list pasted at the pin board of all the other faculties?Even if it was, perhaps somehow, Donovan would have found out already. Knowing his hot temper, he would not be so calm right now.She resolved to call Fidelis and find out as soon as possible. She could not afford to leave everything to chance and suffer for it later.Soon enough the car parked outside her hostel."Ok, here we are." said Donovan. "We will be waiting here. Meanwhile, expect an apology from that Sandra girl. Understand?""Yes." she repli

After his threat, he began to type something into his phone. Boma looked away from him and kept her gaze out of the window. She tried to distract her fears with the sight of pedestrians going about their business but it didn't work. Her mind stayed on her troubles. She was afraid of being claimed by him in the most formal way. She didn't want to be engaged to him, talk less of getting married to him. Maybe if he was gentle and she had met him as a gentle guy, she would have agreed but unfortunately, the opposite was her reality. For that cause, she was even more determined to escape him. She concentrated on her plans, allowing the thought of freedom to calm her down. These days, it was the only thought that calmed her down. She was so grateful to God that she met Fidelis. The irony of it all was that Fidelis was related to Donovan. She still marvelled at the coincidence sometimes. She hoped as Fidelis had suggested that once Donovan discovered she was gone, he would find someon

She was left with no choice other than to endure the intimate moment. Endurance slowly gave way to weakness and acceptance.From acceptance, tiny jolts of desire began to spring forth as his lips kept caressing hers and his hands began to softly glide over her back.He broke the kiss instantly and stared into her lightly dazed eyes. Then he smirked at her and took her hands.She was still staring at him, surprised by the sudden truncation."You don't want my touch in the first place, so breaking it off unexpectedly is kind of my revenge."Boma had mixed feelings about his actions. On one hand, she had been falling as the sensual feelings he evoked started to get to her. But on the other hand, she was glad for the rescue.She should not like his touch. That was the right thing.Donovan observed her expression. She looked anxious. He wanted her to relax."I will leave you to get acquainted with your new home." he said, dipping a hand into his pocket and retrieving his wallet. Then he pu
