PERFIDY (SEQUEL TO THE LOVERS' REGRETS)

FOURTEEN

Third POV

Flashback

"Boss what do we do to her?"

"I don't know what do you think?"

"Should we kill her like madam had instructed?"

"You know madam very well what if she finds out we let her go, what will she do to us?"

"She trusts you doesn't she?"

"Of course she does, I've been working with her for years now"

"I think we should let her go, she's too innocent to deserve all this torture"

"What do you mean by that? Whoever Madam brings here only means that they crossed her path so who are we to judge? We just do what she instructs us to do no bargain"

"But boss look at this lady over here, she can start her life somewhere else, she seems like a great lady who can achieve most of her goals if given another Chance" the other short guy says and i hope the boss would listen to him, I've been tortured well enough and i don't think I'm ready to die not just yet, when i made that video i never knew his mother would react so badly to the point wanting to kill me. I just knew the wedding will be ruined and the two won't end up together because that's all I wanted, i wanted him for myself, i wanted him to be mine and mine alone and not sharing him with some psycho girlfriend or fiancee all i wanted was to have him by my side, snapped on my fingers, but seemed like fate had other plans for me.

"Hey young lady what is your name?" The guy whom i presume is the boss asks

"I'm Amanda" i say in a strained voice

"Well Amanda I've talked to my fellow here and discussed with him, he thinks we should let you go, what do you say about that?" He asks squinting his eye at me and i can't fail to note how red they are,seems like the guy was used to smoking khat all his life, he was the guy you wouldn't dare cross his path because that will surely cost you a ticket to hell,i wouldn't dare do that.

"I'll really be grateful"

"Okay I see what did you do to her, my boss?"

"I don't know?"

"You know if you keep lying to me, I'll consider the earlier request of killing you and dumping your body in the sewage so tell me the truth and nothing but only the truth" he says in a harsh voice and i cringe back in fear.

"I messed with his son's wedding"

"You should have known, no one needs with her family and goes Scot free so you should know you crossed her limits" he says and i only face down, i don't want to come face to face with him, he scares the hell out of me

"I'm sorry i really am" i say genuinely and that only earns another laughter from him and that leaves me confused

"Well young lady, my boss never listens to that sorry so you should have known better than to mess with her son, well my fellow and i think we should let you go but only on one condition though" he says and i shoot him a questioning glance. "You should cut off any communication with anyone you know, family and friends for that matter, we going to organise for a flight for you, you'll only go to a country of our own choice because we know she might follow up this case so we chose a country we sure won't raise any suspicions, you'll stay there all your life because to the world you're dead, is that okay?"

"Yeah I'm really grateful thank you for sparing my life, i don't know how much I'm going to repay you"

"There's only one thing I want you to do and that will pay back what I'm going to do for you" he says and i only nod. "You have to promise me one thing though, that you're going to stay away form trouble, you family, friends and even your enemies, forget about their existence and focus on making yourself useful,go out there get married get kids, you still young for dramas, and don't you ever come back"

"I promise i won't disappoint you, I'll do my best and thanks for saving my life"

"You should thank him, not me , he's the one that pleaded on your behalf" he says and points at his colleague who has been listening to us all along. I walk to where is and give him thanks.

"Well that is enough for today, he will take you through and make sure you arrive safely where we have organised for you so use the washroom to clean up yourself and meet him here, don't try anything stupid and you" he says while turning his attention back to the guy that pleaded on my behalf, "make sure everything is in order we will embark on the next step once you back" he says

I walk to the washroom, i wash my face and check myself out on the mirror, my face is bruised but not that bad, I'd rather be bruised but safe somewhere else. I took a quick shower,put on the dress that was put next to the bed and walked out after applying some foundation on my face to hide my bruises.

The other guy who saved my ass took me with him to the car that was awaiting for us outside,we didn't converse for the whole drive until we reached to the airport, he processed everything for me and made sure I was in the plane.

As the plane took off, i had nothing connected to me anymore, i had to forget everyone i had learnt to live with, i had to start a new life somewhere else, far away from my homeland, forget about my mother, my loving dad, my friends and most of all the guy that made me go through what I was going through.

"All is not lost" i said to myself and tried to console myself that everything was going to be just fine and that's how I ended up staying here, with a new bunch of friends and a new adopted family i had to go back to my Homeland no matter what and i had to make it known to her that i never died.

End of flash back

Present day

"Suzanne you mean you wanna go back to your home country even after staying here for almost fifteen years?" My friend Aliyah asks me and i only nod. I changed my name to Suzanne immediately i landed here, it was the guy's suggestion since i did nothing, they made my passport, visa and fake ID that bore my name Suzanne i had no otherwise than using it since it was the only out.

Aliyah is the only friend I made when i started my new life in this country, she knows everything about my past because I trust her, i never got married but i got paged and gave birth to my lovely daughter Mitch, she's fifteen years old, i took her to a boarding school since i had so much going on in my life i didn't want her getting involved with my life dramas.

"Yeah the b***h i sent f****d up and didn't kill that wicked husband snatcher" i say gritting my teeth and she only laughed

"I'm serious Aliyah, what's funny?"

"You, you're funny, because from the story you told me, the guy loves her, you only want to ruin things for her" she says and i sneer

"No i don't want to ruin things for her, she ruined things for me and i must revenge,Adrian was mine and we were meant to be"

"Well the guy is already married with grown kids who are almost graduating from highschool by the way, you should just let him be, maybe that love was never genuine he never loved you"

"He was my first love remember?"

"But you f****d up, you left him and he found someone who knew his worth, just let the couple be and despite that woman is dead, let him mourn his wife's death in peace"

"It's his mother that did this to me, she threatened to kill me if i didn't leave her son alone,let me tell you one thing,i know that b***h is not dead, i know her better she's so cunning that's why I want to go there myself to confirm"

"Won't it raise any suspicions?" She asks and i wonder how she even became my friend, my friends are always brave

"You know sometimes i wonder how you came to be my friend but i don't blame you, the thing is I don't care dig it raises any suspicions or not the only thing I want is revenge nothing else and i won't rest until i know that wicked witch is six feet under"

"Okay whatever you say, i can't advise you otherwise, you are the one who know how you feeling and as your friend I'll only give my help whenever you need one, so count me in" she says and I smile.
