Chapter54.
THE NEXT DAY - I stayed back at the hospital, Riya slept like a baby laying on my lap, and I had no sleep at all.
"Psst"
I veered back and saw methane calling out to me, she signaled, we meet outside the hospital.
After a few seconds' headcount , I gently laid Riya's head down and walked out to meet her.
"Hey! What is it?". I said.
She swivels wearing a terrified look on her face, " Andres! You asked me to trust you but it's been hours now, yet nothing has happened, can you tell me what's going on?".
She said.
"Look! I did tell you to trust me and you should, we need not do anything stupid, so please calm yourself down and let me do my job".
I walked into the hospital.
Methane walked in after a few seconds contemplating to herself.
Riya screamed out loud attaining our attention.
"Riya what is going on!"
I dashed into Elena's ward and saw a masked man holding a gun to Elena's head, Riya veers her eyes donning a sad look at me.
The man asked us not to get any closer.
When Elena saw that his attention was divided, she used this as an opportunity to counter-attack, she knocked off the gun from his hand and smashed stainless steel on his head.
Damn.
I turned back to see the look on methane's face after seeing the whole drama unravel before her eyes, now she will understand the kind of woman we are up against.
(10:00 am)
After a series of tests, we returned home, everyone at home came out to welcome the queen of the Nile, Elena khan.
Riya assisted her to her room.
Not quite long, methane rushed in to meet me trying to catch her breath.
"Girl! You do know that there's something called knocking right!". I pulled off my jacket.
" yeah! Sorry about that, but can you tell me what exactly happened back at the hospital, did you have a hand in it? Was it the plan you were telling me about? Tell me?".
She asked being anxious to Know more.
"Yes, I did have something to do with this, " I acknowledged the fact.
"Wow! Impressive Salem, indeed you are your mother's son!" She praises me.
I might be the son of the most selfish, conniving, backstabbing, and devilish woman but I will never be like my mom, even the angels in heaven affirm that.
"Now you understand the kind of woman we are up against, she is that kind of lady you think strategically before acting and never be moved by her emotions,"
I explained.
"So! What can we do now? How do we get to her?". Methane asked fiddling for my response.
There is an adage that goes like this, and I quote, the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach but permit me to rephrase this statement and say, the fastest way to kill my mom is through her sanity, drag her down to a point when she's at her lowest, you can as well strick the final blow.
