Chapter 33 Seen it all

I took my bath and changed into something better
I walked straight downstairs, to my car
I entered and drove off
As usual, I bought the food and changed the car
I drove straight to the hospital
I took the food straight to Mrs Paul s ward
"Good morning" I greeted with a smile on my face
She smiled when she saw me
I brought closer my chair and sat
"David said I should greet you" I had to say so
So that she would feel good
"Really? How is he doing?" She asked
She was really happy
"He is doing great, and also receiving his treatment" I lied
"So he has been delivered?" She asked
"Yes, we were able to do that, and the doctor said that he wouldn t be able to see anyone at this moment" I had to make the lie sweet
"Here is your breakfast" I said bringing out the food flasks
"The joy within me is too much" she responded
Just then, the door was opened
We turned towards that direction and it was that same doctor I met the other day
"Oh, you are here" he said walking closer
"Yes doctor, good morning" I greeted
"Good morning, are you her son?" He asked
I would have said yes but I couldn t lie before Mrs Paul
"No but I registered as his son, so that she could get admitted" I sincerely replied
"Wow, what a coincidence" he said
It sounds somehow

…. Victor POV ??
I drove straight to Sonia s house and called her on phone
She came out almost immediately with her school dressing code
I pushed the door open from inside
"I hope you slept well?" I asked during our ride
"Yes, and you?" She asked smiling
"I couldn t stop thinking about you" I replied
And truth be told, I was really thinking about her
I guessed, I was really falling in love again but I couldn t forget Zita
I hoped she would be happy with that
We alighted at school
I opened the door for her as usual
We walked hand to hand with her
We got to spend lots of time chatting because there was no much lesson
She do teach me some certain things that I didn t know from the lesson
She was really the best of all
After school, I drove her home
She said that she would bring my lunch as usual
I bidded goodbye to her before leaving
I wondered what was keeping Dorothy from seeing me
Mr Patrick has already told me that the future was near and at that moment when I noticed it, that someone would visit me for the information
From the look of things, it was time
The only problem I had was that the future holds bad thing for me
Which was
Death
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
That morning, I went to the company as early as I could
I requested to see Victor but they asked me to wait for him because he wasn t yet at work
I waited for him until afternoon
I was really hungry but I had no money for food except the last card for the transportation
The room was quite expensive but I had to pay for it unless I would have to sleep outside
I waited patiently until Victor arrived
I was waiting for him on a couch in front of his office
He was surprised when he saw me
"Dorothy" he called and I raised up my head to see him
"Victor" I responded standing up
"You really came? You later decided to come?" He asked
"Does it mean that you have been expecting me?" I asked back
"I knew you would come, let s go inside please" he said and pressed some button as the door got opened
I wondered how a little guy like him would own an office
"Welcome" he said as we walked inside
I slipped my leg and almost fell down but I held a wall
Victor was forced to turn around to check what was actually going on
"You look somehow, have you eaten?" He asked
I didn t know it was obvious
I shook my head negatively
"Hunger is really bad, come with me" he said and dropped his bag on his desk
We walked down to where he parked his car
We entered and he drove off
"For how long have you been waiting?" He asked during the driving
"Since morning" I replied while his eyes widened
"How could you starve yourself since morning?" He asked with surprise look
"The last money I have is for my transportation and I wouldn t risk spending it, I didn t know that I wouldn t meet you here yesterday and I had to spend the money I budgetted for food, to book a room" I replied
"That means this hunger was since yesterday?" He asked
"Yes" I replied
Our faces were facing the windscreen
Nobody was ready to look at each other
"You should have asked any of those workers to give you some food" he said
"I wouldn t want them to see me otherwise" I replied
"Assuming I knew you were here, I would have cancelled today s school" he said
He alighted at a restaurant and parked
We got down and he held me very well because he thought I would fall
"I can walk" I said
"No one knows when mistake would occurred" he responded, it was wise words
I couldn t help it but to smile
We got inside the restaurant and he ordered lots of food
"Eat everything that you have missed" he said while I smiled
That was what Jason mean by saying that he trusted Victor
After the food, I decided to tell him the main reason I came
"Actually" I started
"Are you satisfied?" He asked
I smiled
"Yes" I replied
"Am here for very important thing" I said
."really?" He asked
"Yes, David s life is in danger, my Uncle told me that we are five sets of people that are destined to save the world and David himself" I replied
"We have discovered ourselves but it is left with you and also to convince Jenny" I added
"I know you love David but this is life, I can t risk it" he said
"I don t understand, seems like you are aware of it?"
"Yes, Mr Patrick has told me already, what that meant for me is death"
"Am confused here" I said
"Am sorry, I can t help you guys, you can go back after when you are done, please" he said and stood up
I couldn t believe it as I watched him drove off
…..
…. Dorothy POV ??
Continuation
I couldn t believe what happened
Victor had totally became different person
I was lost in thought when someone tapped me on my shoulder
I raised up my head to see Victor standing there
"Have you changed your mind?" I asked standing up immediately
"Am here because you said that you have only your transport left with you" he said giving me some cash
"That s not what am asking for, please David is dying" I said with tears in my eyes
"After all, he was responsible for Zita s death, it won t be bad if he dies" he responded
I couldn t believe that those words were coming out from Victor s mouth
He dropped the money on the table and walked away
"Why is this happening" I cried
Since my mission wasn t successful, I had to return
Maybe I should find another way to replace Victor s role
I took my handbag and walked out of the restaurant
I would have to book for another urgent flight
Even though it would take time but I used the opportunity to wait for Victor
Hoping that he would change his mind
??????
…. Victor POV ??
It would be hard for anyone to believe that what I did was the best for me
Even though I wasn t able to read what was inside that book but I was able to read the part that says about me
All the characteristics listed there was me
I had the gift of seeing ghosts and also to control them
My Mom told me that I was born with such gift
That anytime they gave birth, the baby would die after some minutes but during my own birth
There was a heavy rainfall
Lots of thunders with different sounds was encountered that day
My Mom and Dad was in the car rushing to the hospital because my mother was in labor
On their way, my Mom started shouting that I was coming
Just then, a heavy rainfall started
The flood that was accompanied with it was too much
It do carry some moving vehicles
My Dad got scared of it and parked
To wait for the rain to reduce
My Mom couldn t stop screaming that I was coming
My Dad couldn t do anything at that moment
He decided to help her, maybe to deliver me inside the car
My Dad was able to use some sweet words to calm my mother
So that the pressure wouldn t be much
After some minutes, I was delivered
As soon as my body saw the world, another great thunder stroke our car into two but nothing happened to any of us
Isn t it strange?
The rain started coming inside the car
My parents had no other choice than to carry me and ran out of the car
They rushed to a nearby house for shelter
Just as they got in there, someone among those people in that house, disappeared
It surprises everyone that they started suspecting us
They said that the guy who disappeared, was just coming back from a trip he went for
For three years ago
They accused us for taking him
"This child is strange" my father had said to my Mom
By then, the rain has stopped
They called police for us
Just as they were still talking with the police, an ambulance was heard from outside
The building was just on its own, without any gate
The ambulance drove in
It was kinda confused
The ambulance driver got down and walked up to where we were
"Sorry for the interruption but is this Mr Ford house?" He had asked while the owner of the house responded positively
The ambulance driver made a sign with his hands and his co workers opened the boot and brought out a corpse
"That s my son" the mother of the guy said with tears in her eyes
"This guy died two months ago but no one knows anything about him" the ambulance driver started
"We had to investigate on that because it would be odd, burying him without his family s awareness" he added
"You mean he has been dead all this while?" Mr Ford asked to confirm
"Yes, we would have gotten here on time but the rain was too much" the ambulance driver replied
Because of that, my parents began to think about me
After some days, I was still alive
They took me to a priest who told them that I was born for a reason
And I also have a mission
That was how I began to exist
It was true that destiny can t be changed but can be delayed
At this point in time I just wished to change it
When the priest was mentioning about my gift and mission, he didn t make any comments about my death
That s why I wanted to change it
I had only one plan which was to use Bonny to replace me
He always wish to see Dorothy again and if I had to use this method, he wouldn t think twice than to accept it
I remembered that Sonia told me that she would be coming with my lunch
She must have been worried I thought
I called her line but no response
I tried so many times but it was the same thing
I had to leave about it and call Bonny
??????
….. Bonny POV ??
I was feeling horny that afternoon that was almost evening
I called the normal lady who do service my engine anytime I feel like
It was really fun living a lustful life
School wasn t what I was after
"Hello sweetie" the lady as she opened the door even without knocking
"You bitch, you get to learn how to knock"
"What if am changing?"
"Is there anything new in there?"
"I have been seeing that for months" she added smiling
"I still have my respect" I said
"Sorry sir"
I couldn t help it but to smile
"What do I have to do today?"
"I felt that it might rust if you don t service it" I said
"That s why am always here" she replied and dropped her bag
"I had to stand this long just because of not knocking" she added
I don t have to reply to that
After the little enjoyment, we slept off but was woken up by the sound of my ringing phone
That s why I always turn off my phone
I forgot to do that, after calling this bitch
I took it and wanted to decline it
But seeing that it was Victor, I decided to pick up
"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?" That was his first statement
"Dude, what s the problem?" I asked feeling weak
"I have been calling you since afternoon but was switched off" he said
"Dude, am very tired now, please can you go straight to the point?" I asked
"Dorothy was here, as in she visited" he replied
I couldn t believe what I heard
I had to jump up from the bed
"What!!!"
"Where are you now?" I asked with my eyes wide open
"Am in the office now" he replied
"I will be there now" I said
"But….." He wanted to say something but I was fast in hanging up
"I have been wishing to meet Dorothy since after that incident" I said to myself and rushed to the bathroom
That bitch was saying something but I wasn t ready to listen
I took my bath and walked out from the bathroom cleaning up my body
"Aren t you gonna talk to me anymore" that bitch said
"Your time is up, I have somewhere to go now" I replied as I changed into something nice
"Am asking, where the hell are you going?" She asked
"Just start going" I said instead
"What?"
"Are you changing or I should throw you away like this?" I asked with a serious look
"Okay, fine, am changing" she replied
I could do anything for Dorothy
Since she was in Switzerland, I guessed she must have come for me
I smiled to my thought
"But I will come back for you" she added before leaving
She was quite fast in changing
I ignored her and took my necessary stuff
She was already gone
I locked my door and rushed out
I rushed into my car and drove out
I parked outside and got down to lock the gate
"Dorothy, am coming" I said to myself smiling
I drove straight to Victor s office
I knocked at his door and he opened it from inside
I rushed in with a great speed
"Where is she?" I asked looking around the office
"I took her to a restaurant where she should eat because she was very hungry" he replied
"So where is that, which restaurant?" I asked
"Can you be able to stand her?" He asked
"Why not, I will have to use the opportunity to apologise and explain to her everything" I replied
"Okay then, let s go together" he requested
It won t be bad either
??????
…. Doctor Henry POV ??
First time of appearing with my name, right?
I don t wanna confuse anyone
My name is Doc Henry
Mr Paul was my old time friend
He was really good in personality
He was the one who used his father s power to put me in the position of doctor
The only problem he had was keeping a bad friend who was Luke
I always warn him against it because I knew Luke as someone with a devil s mind
After hearing from Paul about how he was betrayed by that same Luke I warned him about
I advised him to go far away from the country
Two years later, he visited me with his wife
He told me that his mother died after what happened
He was left to take care of the business
Luckily for him, he was able to stand
He planned on how to recover what he has lost but I advised not to
Because it wasn t yet time
We needed to wait for some time and come up with a great plan because Luke still have lots of evidence with him
He asked me to promise him, that no matter what, even if he was alive or not, that I should take back what belonged to him
Maybe to his child even though he has none, then
??????
…. Faith POV ??
Seeing how Dorothy s plans has been going
I thought it won t be
I watched exactly how their conversation was
Dorothy was really trying
I was just watching how lonely she was in the airport when the queen mother appeared
"You are welcome queen mother" I said bowing a little
"That little bitch doesn t accept defeat" the queen mother said
"But her plans aren t working out" I replied
"Don t be too sure because you don t know her next target" she said
"Queen mother" I said walking closer to her
"Some months ago, you asked me to kill Jason and find out the other person" I said
It also looks like a question
"Yes" she replied
"I think the other person is Victor" I said while she smiled
"Exactly" she replied
"Unbelievable but how can I kill someone with such gift, he just stronger than that leaf in power?" I asked to know her plan
"Yes but all of their Powers are connected together" she replied
"That s confusing, how do you mean?" I asked
"Assuming you killed Jason when you had the opportunity, Victor s power will be gone" she replied
"Seriously?" I asked surprisedly
How could that be
"Yes and once you kill Victor, then you will be able to kill Dorothy" she replied
"What of Jenny?" I asked
"Killing her won t change anything, her power isn t as strong as others" she replied
"So what should we do?" I asked
"We will have to wait for her plans because we can t kill any of them now, their Powers has been joined together than before and it works together because they have discovered themselves and what they have" she said
"Imagine combining the five powers together, it will definitely destroy us" she added
"That means we don t have any chance?" I asked because I was scared of being destroyed by my own mistake
If Jason gets to know where I belong, he might hate me
"We just have to wait for her plans and we need to be planning ahead of her" she replied
"Time to use Jason" she added
"But he has the leaf" I said
"Let s see to that" she replied
…..
…. Caro (Sonia s friend) POV ??
I was in a restaurant, taking down my lunch when I sighted unexpected
Victor walking hand to hand with a new face instead of Sonia
I had already told Sonia that no man is different
In order to prove it to Sonia, I needed a solid evidence
I took my phone and took a better picture of them
Every single movement they made
I never liked Victor and Sonia being together and the opportunity was what I got
After the pictures, I called Sonia and told her to wait for me
Even though she wanted to go out but due to our friendship, she had to wait for me
Just as Victor left, I did the same thing and drove straight to Sonia s house
She was almost done with what she was cooking when I arrived
"Hope this won t cause you more harm" I had said
"I know how to cook, so there is nothing to be worried about" she responded
I guessed, she didn t get what I meant
"You better start changing your mind because I don t want you to get hurt"
"What are you talking about because am confused" she said as she turned off the gas cooker
"You are done, cooking, right?" I asked
"Yes, about to go" she replied removing her apron
"I will advise you not to" I said
"You can t be serious, he must be seriously starving and I wonder why he haven t called" she said bringing out her phone from the apron before hanging it on a hook
"He can t be starving" I responded
"How do you mean?" She asked
I wanted to say something but she cuts it short
"Oh my God, I missed his call" she screamed not too loud
She wanted to call him back but I collected her phone from her
"What are you doing?"
"Take a look" I responded as I walked closer to her
Showing her the pictures that I took earlier
"What the hell?"
"Who is she?" She asked as she turned, looking at me
"Maybe her main lady" I replied
Tears was already running down
I expected that tho
I never liked Victor in the first place
"I suspected that earlier" I added leaning on a wall
"Give me my phone, let me call him" she said stretching out her hand for it but I drew my hand backward
"It will only cause you more heartbreak" I replied
She burst out crying
I held her close to me and took her to the sitting room
She managed to sit down and I dropped the phone on the small desk in the middle of the sitting room
"Why would he do that to me?"
I sat close to her
"I always told you that all men are the same, scammers, scum"
"But why now that he started showing interest in me?" She cried
"That s the worst part, I guess, he started acting like that, so that it will hurt you very much"
"That s why I suggested you should add charm into his food" I added
"I want real love not otherwise" she cried
Her phone started ringing
She stood up and collected it
I had to check it and it was the same Victor
"Don t pick it in this mood" I said
Tears weren t having mercy with the way it flow down her cheek
??????
…. Bonny POV ??
Dorothy was gone before we got there
We asked the restaurant attendance and they reported that she left after some minutes when Victor leaves
It was really sad because I was seriously missing her
It was true that I did something bad after the break up
Or could it be the reason why she came?
We got back into the car and drove off
"She said that she came to see you" Victor said
It was a thing of joy
"She must have missed me" I responded
"Yes, she couldn t stay without you"
"I thought as much"
"So when are you going to visit her?" He asked
"And also, use the opportunity to visit your parents as well" he added
How can I visit people who doesn t really care about me
My parents were just like Jason s mother, even though they were wealthy, but it wasn t useful being their son
The most useless suggestion
"I can t go there again if you give me that suggestion"
"Okay, fine but will you still visit her?"
Talking about her only, do give me joy but I wasn t financially stable
"I will support your movement" Victor said
I had to turn to his direction
Could it be that he was reading my mind?
"Seriously?"
"Yes"
"Thanks a lot" I appreciated
It was great hearing that
"Sonia isn t picking my call" Victor complained, after pressing something on his phone
"You mean that your girlfriend?" I asked
"I haven t proposed to her yet"
"Why?"
"Am actually arranging a surprise for her very soon" he replied
Another part of him, was being romantic
"That s by the way, I want you to do something for me" he said
"Go on"
"Dorothy didn t actually come here for you, she needed something else" he said
"I don t understand" I said
"When you meet her, just tell her that you were the one she was looking for" he replied
"You are funny dude, but you said that she didn t come to see me?" I asked
The guy seems to have taken something high
??????
….. Victor POV ??
I was seriously worried about Sonia
She refused picking my call and I don t know why
Thank God we used Bonny s car
I wondered what would be my fate
Out of worry, I might meet with accident
Bonny dropped me at the company before returning to his house
Two were troubling me
David and Sonia
Dorothy said that he has few days left for him but if I would save him, that means I have to loose mine
I had to plan things in another way
Sometimes, life doesn t deserve to be as we planned
Secondly, Sonia
She has never for once, ignored my call
She always wish to stay in touch with me
I just hoped nothing bad happens to her
I walked in and asked one of the workers, if someone came to look for me, but his response was negative
I became more than worried
I was beginning to like her and I could do anything for her
I rushed what I had for the day in my office
I needed to visit Sonia
After work, I drove straight to Sonia s house
I needed to know what really happened
I was getting closer to her house when I sighted another car parking outside, just right before the gate
I parked in a distance and took my time to check it out
Just as I noticed that it was Sonia s mother, the gate got opened and she drove inside
I called Sonia again but no response
