**THE BETRAYAL** (episode 57) Mike was thrown into the cell as soon as we arrived at the police station, while i was left to cool off at the counter “i just don’t want to punish u further because just like my sister, u are equally an unfortunate victim in this whole mess, if not i would have thrown i into 1 of the cells as well” Stella’s brother said to me. I nodded gratefully 1 thanked him. “yes sir, thank you sir” I said By the look of things, i saw that Stella n her brother were very ready for a tough battle. Mosquitoes however never allowed me to think properly, i kept slapping myself as i battled them all through that restless night. I was in a very terrible state the following morning, which luckily arrived very fast. 4tunately 4 us, stella’s bro arrived the station very early n sent 4 us. I hastily walked into his office, while Mike was dragged in minutes later. He looked tired, scared n nervous, but fortunately his body wasn’t in anyway tampered with. “u know before i joined the police force, i used to be a very bad player? I did everything unthinkable just to get down with a girl, but i never 4 once laid my hands on any girl nor got any pregnant. U know why?, Because i used my head” he lectured Mike with a smile, “i’m so sorry but u went too far with my sister this time around n i’m going to deal with u to the extent u end up losing ur job. u know banks hate getting involved in scandals huh?” He asked Mike, who instantly frowned n looked away. “I already have mapped out my plans, first i will call the press n some popular bloggers i know, give them the story i prepared about u with the caption, “BANKER COOLING OFF IN POLICE CELL AFTER TRYING TO KILL GIRLFRIEND”, OR “BANKER TRIES TO KILL AN INNOCENT EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL IN HIS APARTMENT” or better still, “BANKER TRIES TO KILL BABY MAMA FOR ANOTHER” he tilted his head sideways n poured out,while i gasped. “what do u think will become of ur job after such news is made public / what do u think the state prosecutor will do after learning of such case?” He asked with a mischievous smile. The look on Mike’s face was terrible, it was very obvious he was extremely scared. “i have evidence, plus pictures of my sister’s battered face n doctor’s report” he continued. “pls what is it you want?” Mike nervously asked. The young police officer simply licked his lips n smiled “hmmmm what do i want?” Stella’s brother repeated n scoffed. “you used my sister, got her pregnant, made her unmarriageable,abandoned n broke her heart, I kept quiet n never 4 a day challenged u.” “when my parents managed to fetch u 4 talks, u showed up, claimed responsibility n disappeared like a ghost, i still never bothered u”, “I took care of my sister without complaining, but i guess because of our soft nature n the way we handled everything, u thought u could do as you like, thereby further insulting my family by inviting the innocent girl to ur house, so as to beat her up n snatch her baby” he said, while Mike nervously watched him like a rat watching a friendly cat. “what do u expect me to ask 4 eeh?” he asked Mike, who simply shrugged silently. “I can’t force u to marry my sister, neither can i allow u to walk away 4rm ur responsibility over her n the little girl” he added. “but this isn’t a case settled in the police station, can’t we do it elsewhere, like in your house or village?” Mike asked pleadingly, “oh yes, but i don’t trust u, moreover my sister is the person pressing charges n i fear u might spend more time here with us” he replied with an evil smile. “oh goodness me! i beg, don’t do this to me, i can’t afford to skip work, please” Mike begged nervously, while i nodded in support. “alright, but there is still 1 more thing you have to do, if i’m to allow you to leave” officer added. “u have to sign some papers, it’s just like an undertaking which u have to accept, b4 I let u have ur freedom” he added as he brought out two envelopes, which he placed b4 Mike. “all u have to do is just to sign both of them, u go with one copy, i keep the 2nd copy 4 myself” he explained as Mike went through the papers. “u don’t expect me to sign?” i soon heard Mike ask with a raised tone. “how do u expect me to suspend my upcoming wedding, till i settle issues with ur sister?” he asked angrily. my request is very resonable, becos that’s what any sane man will do. 4 the sake of my family’s pride n 4 the sake of tradition, you have every reason to sit down and settle with us, before rushing into another marriage, moreover which church will wed you when you are yet to resolve your problems eeh?, my friend u better sign the two papers, because it’s that or nothing” the young officer sprang up hitting the table. My heart skipped a hundred times over. It just looked as if someone was blowing an air of misfortune towards my happiness. Story Continues.....
