There had been a fire that's razing down part of the farm.
"Please call fire service quickly!" Bosey yelled, to one of the ranch hand beside him.Bosey had to make sure Mandy was fine while they waited for fire service to arrive. He walked to her, as she stood behind him, watching."Why is all this happening now Bosey" there is so much I can take! I am so exhausted. What caused this fire? How did it start, when! Mandy yelled, sounding fraustrated."Please calm down Mandy let me quickly go check what is happening. I'll be right back"Bosey left Mandy to the part of the farm that was on fire. On getting there he could see it was not a serious fire but just grasses getting burnt. Probably the farm hand saw smoke, and thought the farm was on fire. Bosey let out a sigh of relief. At least Mandy won't be crying her eyes out this time. He thought.Bosey has always felt that seeing her cry makes his chest tighten and anger fill him up, because there was nothing he could say or do that will be significant enough to make her feel better. The only thing he could do was console her whenever she seems moody or cry. But things are about to change, if only Mandy could give him a chance to be that man she really deserves. A man who will sweep her off her feet, make her feel better when all hope seems lost. He walked back to where she stood, waiting for him."Bosey, what happened? She asked.Mandy could see the expression on Bosey's face and it was not worrisome. At least the fire couldn't have been serious if Bosey isn't wearing a worried look."There is no fire, Mandy. at least no crop was affected. Some grasses were getting burnt along the farm way. I guess the ranch hand saw smoke from afar and thought it was the farm on fire. The fire department will be here shortly to put out the fire so it doesn't spread to the crops. It is definitely nothing to worry about.Mandy put a hand to her chest, and heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing what Bosey had said." I need to rest Bosey, I shall retire to the mansion and come back to work later."Bosey couldn't let her walk to the mansion alone. He escorted her to the mansion. At the front of the house, Bosey stopped to go back to the farm, but Mandy quickly grabbed him by the hand."I don't want to be alone Bosey, please come in and stay with me. I will appreciate it, if it won't be a bother to you" she said, with her eyes pleading for his company."Not at all" Bosey said to Mandy.It was like a dream come true for Bosey. Whatever reason to always be by her side is what he is grateful for. He went with Mandy into the Mansion.As Mandy walked into the house, she could see the memories shared with her dad. She looked at the wall by her right, her father's pictures were there. He was smiling like he was the most happiest man on earth. Mandy looked to her left. Her picture, with her father standing beside her was also on the wall. She smiled, and all the memories came back to her in full, and it was like her father never left.These memories was shattered when she realised all the tags to the properties were still there. She almost burst out crying again but Bosey quickly told her not to cry anymore as crying will definitely solve nothing."There is no point crying, Mandy. Crying is only going to make you tired and we don't want you tired, and not fit to run the farm. We need you to be strong. The farm needs you to be as strong as you can be. I don't want to sound harsh, but you have mourned your father enough. I know he will want you to be strong to keep the farm up and running. You need to lay down and rest.Bosey led Mandy to the couch where he beckoned on her to lay down. Mandy laid down and before she closed her eyes, she said something to Bosey but he couldn't hear her properly, as he was standing. Bosey squatted close to Mandy's face to hear what she was saying to him."Please stay here until I awake" Mandy said to Bosey.Bosey nodded."I will be right here when you wake up, be rest assured" he replied.It was few minutes into Mandy's sleep when she began to murmur in her sleep."Dad please don't go, please don't leave me here all alone I need you dad please"Mandy also raised her hand up as if trying to reach for something in the air.Bosey grabbed her hand and shook her a little, waking her up. Mandy woke up sweating profusely."Shhhh, it was just a dream" Bosey murmured, sitting closer to her. Bosey stroked Mandy's hair while assuring her. He used his other hand, to clean the sweat on her face with his handkerchief.Bosey was sitting so close to Mandy. She turned to look at him, then she looked away. She moved closer to him, seeking his closeness. She closed the gap between them. Mandy's turned to Bosey. Her eyes were fixated on his lips.Mandy couldn't help herself anymore, she grabbed Bosey by the neck and kissed his lip softly. She drew back immediately.Drawing back, Mandy began to apologize to Bosey, but before she could draw back completely, Bosey drew her back and kissed her passionately. Mandy was shocked, but she liked it, she leaned in for more and suddenly there was a knock on the door......Epilogue (Before Frank's death)Norman and Jenny "Jen? | don't think | have the heart to face your father ever again. | think he may kill me one day for ratting him out to the cops. | know he may be in Jail now, but he still has people working for him outside" Norman said to Jenny, with fear in his voice. Norman and Jenny's love story began, after Jenny gave birth to their beautiful baby girl, Neria."Calm down sweetheart, | know my father and | don't think he will hurt you, now that he knows how much | love you and that you are the father of his granchild" "Jen? | think you don't know your father so well. | think you don't know him as much as | do" “What makes you say that? "Your father and Mandy's mother almost killed me. You think | want to ever believe that he could be a changed man because of Neria? Your father cares for no one Jen, he cares only about himself" "My father cares for me sweetheart, he only finds it hard to express his feelings, most times" Jenny said, sm
Mandy rushed to her 'mothers', to see what other things the press are saying. She moved further to the Television stand, to find it turned off. "Mothers?........What's going on?" Mandy asked. They both burst out laughing. "Nothing, my dear. We were only teasing you! We have to make you as comfortable as possible" Aunt Clara said. Mandy smiled and shook her head. "You saw the press conference right? you saw me zone out, and now you are trying to make me forget it.. You two don't need to worry about me, I promise to get help" Mandy said to them. They were happy to hear that. They both stood up and hugged Mandy together. Mandy closed her eyes, taking in their motherly warmth. This was heavenly...........~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jenny and Norman had left the hospital to their home. Jenny took care of Norman like a child, and he gets embarrassed everytime. "Jen? love, you have to stop treating me like a child. I got my memories back, remember?" he said, but Jenny ignored him. Jenny was
Mandy didn't answer Bosey's questions and then he realised she was in shock from the last reporter's questions. Bosey quickly pulled Mandy back from the podium and spoke briefly Into themicrophone. "This press conference is over, goodbye everyone" The reporters were all murmuring as the press conference was cut short, but Bosey didn't care. Mandy was his priority at the moment and no one else. He took Mandy to the office they both shared temporarily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bosey opened the door for Mandy and she stepped into their office. He had to quickly close the door as some reporters were already trying to take pictures of them as they walked to their office. Bosey quickly put Mandy to seat on a couch and brought water to her. "Here baby, have some water” he said, offering her a cup, but she didn't take it. Mandy was still looking zoned out, and Bosey didn't know what to do so he tried something funny. He took the water he brought for Mandy, which was very cold and touc
"Hello Jenny? | know you must be at the hospitalnow. You see | didn't do so much damage right? | only paid him back for what he did to me. You should be thanking me right now” Frank said, laughing.Jenny didn't know where to start. She wiped her tears and spoke quietly to Frank. "You didn't do much damage? Frank can you just hear yourself. You made my husband loose his memory and you say you didn't do much damage? what kind of a person are you for crying out loud! what kind of a father hits his daughter's husband until he passes out and has amnesia?" "Relax Jenny, | didn't cause him to have amnesia" Frank replied, still laughing. "Frank? | am only going to say this once. As from today, | am cutting all ties with you. | don't want to have a father like you. | don't care if you are my birth father, | don't ever want to have to be associated with an evil father like you, so stay away from me. Stay away from my family!" Jenny yelled, throwing her phone to the floor and shattering it
"Hello? am I speaking with Mrs Jenny?" a voice asked.Jenny held the phone tightly to her ear. "Yes you are" She responded, with her heart beating so fast. "I am calling you from The Alpha hospital. We have a man who was brought in here, by some unidentified men, he is stable, now. But you need to come to the hospital immediately . We where able to identify him by his ID. Do you know one Mr Norman?" Jenny almost fell out of shock, but Mandy caught her. "Yes, I know him. He is my husband. Is he okay? never mind, | am on my way" Jenny said, ending the call.."Who was it Jenny? Mandy asked Jenny walked to the door and turned to Mandy "It's a hospital, they called me to come. Norman is at the hospital Mandy! Oh my God, what did Frank do to him? Do you think....,.... "No! Jenny don't jinx it! , Norman won't die, he is stronger than that. If they couldn't kill him the day Bosey and | found him at his house, | don't think they can kill him now. Let us go to the hospital, | will drive,
Frank was released from Jail, and the first person he had to deal with, was his rebellious daughter's husband, And his former assistant who turned against him, Norman. Jenny called Mandy in a panic mode. "Mandy? Oh God, what do I do? I think my so called father has kidnapped Norman. Please help me"Jenny said. ........Mandy stood up from her chair..She expected Frank to do something, but she didn't imagine it will be Norman. "Calm down Jenny, where are you at now?.Mandy asked. "l am on the road, sitting in my car. Before they drove off with Norman, | wanted to follow them, but | was knocked out and brought back into my car. | need to do something Mandy. | can't let him hurt Norman, | can't let him do that” "Send me your location Jenny, | will be there as fast as I can" "Alright Mandy, I'll be waiting" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jenny sent Mandy her current location and she was there in less than an hour. Mandy parked her car behind Jenny's car and stepped out. She walked to the car t
