Chapter 25 - The Smell Of Jealousy

The Smell Of Jealousy


Mardrigo's POV



After the long drive home, Davison went straight for his chilled favourite drink

" Davison, why are you panting like you ran a marathon?" Mardrigo laughed

"I" he kept panting, he grabbed the juice and opened it to drink, that was what mattered at that point

"I smell Jealousy Madri" His wife said


"Me? What? No, not at all even a bit" He said with so much emphasis on his words


"So… what were you saying dad?" Davison covered his drink "I feel more alive now"

"I think you should be having more walks than being driven around all the time"

"What dad? Why the sudden hatred?" Davidson smiled

"He is just jealous that you walked with me and not him" Mum said from the kitchen

"Am I jealous?" dad asked in his deep voice

"Ohh I see" Davison went close to his dad, squeezing his brows, mimicking him "Me jealous?" he then laughed and ran to the kitchen

"I'm going to" Dad followed him to the kitchen "You've lost respect"

"Mum" Davison called out to his mum to save him

"Next time, he would walk with you, don't let Jealousy run through your vein" mum smiled, going to touch dad

"No, next time he would walk alone" dad said to mum then turned towards me "Agreed?"

"Yes, whatever dad" Davison replied

"Good" dad said and walked away

"Dinner is almost ready guys" mum said as she came out with the dishes, putting them on the dining table

"Go change your cloth" Mardrigo told his son

Davison ran upstairs to his room to change his wears quickly, he was still very hungry even after the drink he had

"I need to get something done quickly" Mardrigo told his wife


"Now?"

"Yes, very quickly" he said

"Just be home before dinner"

"Yes boss" he kissed her on her forehead and went straight to the door

He only hoped Tom wasn't home to see his mum all tied up

He hurried to the house of Tom, opened the door and rushed in, he went to the living room where he tied her up, but she wasn't there

Mardrigo got scared, he stood still looking around on the lookout for Tom, because she couldn't have possibly un-tied herself

"Help"

Mardrigo heard a faint voice of someone from the kitchen, he then rushed in

"Pl… please" she was trying hard to gasp for air

"What do I help you with?" Mardrigo came closer

She pointed towards her inhaler

Asthmatic? Who would have thought

"Here you go" Mardrigo gave her

She held it and after regaining her breath, she thanked him "thank you for saving my life"

He went straight for a knife and some aids, he had noticed the she bruise caused on her hands on the process of getting her inhaler with a tied hand and legs

"I'm gonna cut the rope with the knife" he told her

She pushed her hands forward for him to cut it out, she must have been very hungry and thirsty

"Do you know about how Tom is doing?"

"No I don't" Mardrigo did not understand why she would question him

"You came asking of him earlier, please if you-"

"I don't know anything about your son ma'am, I just came back to set you free" Mardrigo successfully removed the rope, then walked back to drop the knife

"Thank you" she repeated

Mardrigo left without saying a word any more to her, he knew what she was trying to do

He went back home to his wife and son just in time for dinner

"Dad, Sam is inviting me for his father's wedding taking place soon"

"His father's wedding?" Mardrigo was confused

"Yes, his father Judge is getting married to another woman and he also said that his father is in town, that's why I asked of another smartphone"

"When is this happening?" Mardrigo asked

"In few days, I don't think I can attend because my exams are upcoming in few days to come too" Davidson sighed

"Can we talk about this when we are done eating?" Mum requested

"OK mum" Davison responded

The atmosphere during the meal and even after that was still and quiet like the ocean, everybody went to their bedroom to rest after the hectic and long day they had

"If we don't talk about Tom sooner, we would never talk about it" mum said as she came out of the shower, going to lie on the bed

"We don't have to" It was clear that he did not want to have such discussions anymore

"Why do you speak so harsh to me?"

"I do not, well" he layed close to her, wrapping his hands around her waist "It's just not something to talk about"

"It's fine, I want to know about it" She adjusted her hands to reach his lips

He went for a kiss, how he has missed her, her touch and body

"I don't have a single strength for anything other than a conversation this night" she said

"OK, he asked for the kidnap of Helsi but the men responsible for that mistook her for Nancy, her younger sister, so trying to get Helsi got him involved in Racheal's life, his mistress"


"Woah, slow down, I don't get"

"That's the point and that's why I said you don't have to worry about all these, I would handle it myself well" Mardrigo said

"You don't trust your wife at all, do you think I can't assassinate people or abduct them, I can be a bad bitch if I want to so cut the crab" she said as she yawned loudly

"Go to bed before you start becoming a bad bitch, you are already very tired" Mardrigo laughed

"I would see you tomorrow" she closed her eyes even before she completed her words

"And I love you too" he kissed her forehead

"Someone needs to teach that teacher a lesson, and I would do that tomorrow" Mardrigo thought to himself
