“I said let her go or will shoot you and I’m so serious about it” Becky continues to threaten making Ron to abandon what he was doing to Melanie and he turns around slowly , he’s planning to grab her arms but she reads his mind
“Don’t even make a move….don’t you try it” Ron stops
“Please give me that gun Becky”
“I said don’t you come close to me Ronald”
“Give me that gun and let’s talk like mature adults we’re” Mel who is trembling is just watching the whole thing like it’s a horror movie
“How many times have I begged you to let us talk, how many times have I waited for you in the living room so we could talk when you get beck? huh answer me how many times……..it’s either you’re drunk or in a bad mood”
“I know I owe you a talk and that’s why I’m saying we should talk, give the gun to me….hand it over to me please”
“Have you once in your wretched life considered if I had not come here looking for you….
as for the gun, I will only put it down when I’m finished with you and this your obsession” she points the gun at Mel but doesn’t take her eyes from Ron, Mel is sweating more
“I loved you Ronald, I loved you so much that I even reduced myself, paying deaf ears to my friend’s warnings and thought you loved me, I followed you blindly here but what did I get…nothing Ronald nothing you bastard” she’s so furious and it’s like the gun is going to be shot at any moment from now
“Get down on your knees right now” he does
“I’m going to teach you a lesson that you should not play with people’s feelings in your next life….got that”
“I’m so sorry……i….I never wanted to hurt you, I meant it when proposed to you back there in Zambia…. it was not a joke”
“But then it turned into a much bigger joke right?….. to you I’m always invisible in your eyes……you pretended my fire never burns but I guarantee that it will but you today”
“It hasn’t gotten into this…..we can work this out I’m sure”
“Oh really but making me your side chic right Thank you but no…..I will be a fool if I let you win……we’re all losing this battle and as for your little woman here, I would have spared her had it been she had not witnessed this” Ronald has really never used the gun himself but his bad goons are the ones doing all the bad works for him but he’s waiting for the perfect opportunity to jump on Becky so he can take the gun from her just as luck or bad luck may have it, there is a knock at the door, they both know who is knocking
“Here comes the mighty mother…… oh what a perfect revenge, three people who have made my life so miserable all going down….. don’t you think that’s too good really?”
“Leave my mother out of this your madness”
“Oh so you Call this madness….. she’s your mother and your Ally….. she has your back and always plans your every move….. but I can assure you…….
I have got my own back I can assure you”
“Please, you’re not a bad person…
you’re so peaceful so and this isn’t you Becky”
“A wounded woman is capable of anything, you lied to my parents and deceived all of us but all this is ending today…right here right now” the knock at the door continues and then after a few seconds, Ron’s cell phone begins to ring, he looks at it and it’s his mother
“Who is it…. who is calling….is it your mother…..pick it up and tell her you’re coming to open for her”……..He trembles and picks
” Mother…. “
“Are you sure I’m at the right place son…….I have been knocking all this while and you’re not opening”
“I’m coming mother……you’re at the right place” he ends the call and looks up to Becky who is not blinking
“Let’s get going…… get up already” she walks over to him as he gets up….the gun is already at the back of his head and they walk out of the room with Becky behind him……Mel scrawls out of bed and looks for an exit but there is non…she looks around and spots Ron’s phone…she picks it up and good enough he doesn’t have password she needs to call Tobi……..
Tobi strolls broken like the broken hearted man he is, he has run out of ideas on what to do and he looks defeated…. he sits down and looks on but suddenly his maid runs towards him
“Sir your phone is ringing” she hands it over to him and he looks at the phone….he doesn’t know the number, he doesn’t know, he decides to pick anyway
“Hello who is this”
“Tobi…..Tobi it’s me, come save me”
“Melanie…… where are you…..where tell me”
“Kuluva….a house on the left on the hill” before Mel can go further and tell him more, he hears a gunshot…… tobi grows cold, he shouts but he hears nothing…. Mel is not talking
“Melanie…… Melanie are you there ” no reply he takes off and and gets into his car and drive off………..
Ronald and his mother had been pushed inside forcefully by Becky who is showing a different and more shocking side, they had just got I’m the room when they caught Melanie on phone, before thinking twice, she just uses the gun on her sending everyone in shock watching Melanie is bleeding.
“You bitch how could you”
“You shot her” Ron asks
“And I will shoot all of you because I had not planned on doing this…..she wasn’t supposed to be the first one”
“You monster….you monster, you will rote in hell and I’m going to finish you right now”
“Who has the gun Ronald…. who has the gun, is it not me, before the police or that bastard husband gets here…..I will kill all of you” Ron jumps on her and they are struggling with the gun…..
