Previously on THE BETRAYAL: Episode 35 Peace Talk
...“I have another request to make my love” I carefully murmured. He held my left hand and nodded for me to continue,
“please allow me to handle Mike the way I deem fit” I begged humbly.
His expression instantly changed and he breathed deeply like someone in pain, as he scanned my face with his eyes like a detective. “But baby I don't........ I instantly placed a finger on his lips, deliberately stopping him from finishing his objection.
“Pls baby” I begged with my feminine charms which I instantly displayed. He looked away for some seconds, shrugged and faced me again. "Ok if that will make you happy and equally get him to leave you, who am I to object” he accepted
I kissed him happily, every pore in my body smiled with excitement. “Thanks my love, you are the best, very understanding and considerate” I murmured happily, before lying on his body like a little child.
*The Next Day*
“Do you think you can handle Mike on your own” Amara asked with concern the following morning, after listening to the narration I gave her on how I secured Ben's love and trust again. “Yea I can, or don't you trust me anymore?” I answered and stared at her suspiciously.
Seriously her behaviour and loyalty seemed to change, since she learnt of Mike's return. “I do trust you dear” she flashed a quick smile, shrugged and expertly changed the topic.
2:30PM, A DAY LATER
I was about taking my usual Sunday siesta when I heard gentle knocks on my door. I lazily got up from my bed, opened my door and gasped in surprise when my eyes fell on Mike smiling nervously. I felt weak on my knees, while my heart skipped a beat, I really don't know why I always felt uneasy each time I happen to meet his gaze,
“” I wondered as I stared coldly at him.
“Cyndii all I need is just two minutes of your time, please don't shut your door and grant me audience” he begged softly. I breathed deeply and allowed him in
“thanks for letting me into your room” Mike said.
“I know what I came to say may be a bit difficult and probably weird to you but I really came with every bit of sincerity and honesty a guy could ever muster.
Before I begin please let's keep all our differences and things of the past aside and think only about the future” he fluently poured out.
I scoffed, held my jaw and nodded for him to continue. “I know I did a very terrible, unforgivable deed by abandoning you, I really do apologize for that and I know if you will ever bear to hear my side of the story, you really will understand why it happened.
Anyway let me go straight to why I came here” he added My heart pounded furiously. “Baby I really came to finish the dream we started together years ago.
Remember our plans, hopes and dreams we shared, drawings and promises we made to each other as we mapped our life years ago?
I have returned with the noble intention of finishing it. Let's forget the past and forge ahead please. I now work with Fidelity bank, just like I told you I will when I graduate, please don't let personal feelings, and anger cloud your judgement.
My parents are waiting for you, my heart is very eager to unite with yours and my soul could only be at rest with you by my side, Cyndii dear let's finish this dream together” he pleaded.
“Stop!!!” I snapped, cutting off his speech midway. I truly couldn't believe his words were having terrible effects on me. I really was hypnotized. “What's wrong with me, why am I even listening to all this trash” I wondered, terribly alarmed at the apparent change in me.
I instantly trembled when I felt his touch as he expertly reached out, held my fingers and knelt by my side, when he noticed how shaken I was. “I see confusion in your eyes. But please think this through, remember how we started and remember that I do know you very well.
I went to conquer the world, now I'm back with the spoils which I lay at your feet, please listen to the silent whispers in your heart” he murmured like a devil, confusing me more.
I was lost, confused and alarmed. My heart yearned for another thing, while my body demanded for another. Sure he really was my first love, but isn't old memories supposed to fade with time? “I'll be back for your reply Cyndii” he whispered and kissed me before I could even breathe twice nor say anything.
His kiss was so bitter but very strong and shook my hormones so terrible that I gasped for air. Before I could get myself to look up at him, he was gone. “Lord help me” I prayed.
I knew I finally have gotten a very terrible secret to hide from everyone. “Not even Amara will hear of this” I concluded to myself, “how shameful it will be if she finds out” I reasoned as I wondered how to overcome the terrible effect Mike's disturbance was having on me....
The story is getting tough
