(Chapter 28)

              [Kemeil's pov]

  It's impossible to think Itrisha isn't well educated and fucking trained, pulling off a stunt like that on me, I'm so pissed.

  I don't even know if I had the right to be mad at her, trying to finished my piled up work, I had mistakenly left my laptop open, knowing I was in the house.

  Obviously underestimating her again, I did not expect her to play my own game back on me. I felt like an idiot, looking through my recently downloaded files, I will have a lot of explaining to do when I reach Uraguay.

  She already suspected me of lieing to her with a lot of things and the downloaded files from my laptop have now given her proof, along with more things I didn't want her to know about.

   I don't really want Jamie to harass or use force on her but the twin techs can't seem to shut down her phone.

  Thier was no number on the downloaded files, which means she is using two phones or just separate memory chips.

  I had no idea she was this smart and it gave me a good feeling and a bad one at the same time. I couldn't concentrate on my work, the camp is packing up as I get things in place for our travel.

  But what was I going to do, she has constantly managed to run away from us successfully. I'm convinced she must have had training somewhere.

  Taking out my phone I call the twin techs. "I'm going to kill you both, and where the fuck is pages five, six, seven and eight of the file?" I asked them angrily.

  "Well sir we did print and send everything over in the files, we have the copies right here." The eldest twin replied. "Print them and let me get them when I reach Uraguay and make sure we have a clear safe flight passage."

  I ended the call not waiting on their reply, I was badly indeed of some really good loving and sex from Itrisha, now all this makes me wonder, how the hell am I going to make it through my lies to her.

  Sitting deep in thoughts, I think of all the days I had have to endure without her and the children, now she just up and left after playing back my stupid trick on me.

  I began fisting the wooden walls of the house with so much rage, that had built up inside me, those who were there packing up the things ran out.

  Not finish releasing some of my pent up anger, I started breaking and tossing every fucking thing in sight, I was so angry.

  Why did I have to feel this way about her, why couldn't I have just fucked her and walked away like I did with so many other women, she drives me crazy, what the fuck was it about her?

  Sleven and Chrushnar was standing outside, when I went to the front door, someone must have called them. Maybe we lived too close to each other, they had obviously been listening to my outburst of anger.

  I did not know what possess me but I went after them, both of them ran and I ran them down, they split up and ran into different directions at the front of the camp.

  Everyone scattered as I started going after the guards, I grabbed Lance and flung him hard into the fence, Alphonso one of my elders peeped out from behind the doctors tent and I went after him too.

 
  He and the doctor ran into my mother's house and locked the door. I was sweating profusely has I walked back to the house I had built so we could spend some lovely time together in.

  Switching on the pump I took a shower and went to sleep, when I woke up some hours later, Everol was doing my work on my laptop.

  A dark blue jeans and a burgundy long sleeve sweater were laid out for my traveling outfit on a suitcase.

  We drove the long drive to the Nairobi international airport for our chartered flight, no one besides us would be traveling on the plane.

  My father and uncle Vaughn dealt with the vehicles, while I stood off to the side as everyone else boarded the flight and I cried remembering the cannibals saying yes to eating Petran's body when we showed them his picture.

  Okang stood beside me as I shook with my grief, Everol, Sleven, Chrushnar, Okang and Francis sat with me in first class, but no Petran.

  I did not cry when I had recovered and they told me Petran was dead and I had mourn for him in my heart, after we came back from visiting and confirming with the cannibals.

  But my tears ran unbridled when the plane lift off and I knew we wouldn't be coming back unless to visit and in my heart I felt I was leaving Petran behind.

  It's like the pain of losing him, was just hurtfully settling in, it's hard to even think he is really gone and he was never coming back.

  We have been through so much, he was a brother to me, we have lost so much innocent souls along this journey and my heart wept at the inhumane treatment we have had to endured.

  All the lives that have been taken unjustly, the world did not know the truth of what happened and even though my father miraculously survived and we have found him after all these years.

  The scars on him, on us and in our minds will forever be a reminder to us, I did not want to lose anyone else. Revenge would have to be our only alternative to finally be able to live free one day.

           [Itrisha's pov]

  Jamie came and sat beside us, I was tired of living the way we were, but I had Kemeil's children and I know we weren't safe in certain places.

  Kemeil had told me a lot of lies, but I wasn't even going to focus on those right now. I needed Lori back into school and settled, I need a life for myself without him and his families.

  After we ate I went grocery shopping, I had mostly U.S currency and I saw Jamie paid our bill before I could even get my purse out.

  He gathered the shopping bags and we walk to my rented van, we drove to the place we had call home before we had to leave.

  His laptop did not lie the place had been renovated, nothing surprised me anymore as I saw Diana, her father and a lot of those who worked in the champagne and wine brewery.

  I waved to them and walked to our house, they were apparently cleaning the other houses. The place was impeccably clean and although the vines covered the the whole place, where the sun came in provided enough light.

  The keys were in the door when I reached our front door, guess they knew I was coming before the plane landed. I opened the door and walked into a very clean house with new furnitures.

  Diana and a young man came to help  carry in our things, after they were finished they left, Jamie sat in the new comfortable looking couch.

  I went to pack out our groceries and find the kitchen well stocked, turning around I saw Jamie looking at me. I know he may have been expecting to see my reaction being surprised, or even me saying something, but he will have to deal with this unsurprised woman.

  After packing out the groceries I bought, I rinsed over a few things to make some fruit juice for us. Leaving the twins drinking with thier big sister watching them I went upstairs.

  Upstairs was up to date as well, I saw a few things that had been kept in storage. The beds were nicely made and I found a note on the twins door that read.

The beds were made just this morning and the sheets are brand new and cotton, just the way you love them, all the towels and wash rags are new as well.  

  Sign by Diana.

  I will thank her when I get the chance, deciding to unpack later I went back downstairs and told Lori to go and look at her room.

  "Itrisha I need your phone, you have downloaded some of Kemeil's very important files on it. I'll just erase them and give it back to you." Said Jamie.

  "So I look so dumb to you all, that I would have to give you my phone to simply press delete all downloaded files?" I responded to him.

  "We just don't want them getting into the wrong hands." He said. "If I didn't want them, I would not have taken them off, I'm jetlag so I'm going to ask you nicely to leave." I told him seriously.

  He is a killer and so was I, he better just go and don't piss me off, his hand came up fast and I broke it, he looked at me in shock.

  I looked at him with no emotion on my face, I could be more violent than them if I was pushed and right now he needed to leave.

  He was much taller and stronger than I was, but I've learned to defend myself with being the element of surprise. It puts uncertainty into your attackers, when they don't know what you were capable of.

  I made a quick chicken pasta salad, then we ate, then locked the doors and went to sleep with my children on my bed.

  The push of the door woke me, the person would have to be very strong to push away the dresser with the door from the door way.

  I did that because I was really tired and did not want anyone to sneak up on me and the children, I don't trust these spaniards.

  Who so ever it was must have realized, I lay down wide awake listening to the light fall of thier receding footsteps.

  The place was quiet but a sense of company was felt around me, I looked through the bedroom window and saw a lot of jeeps and a few spaniards I'm sure I left in Kenya.

  I looked at the time and it was past midday, we were jetlag and tired, the twins and Lori were still comfortably sleeping.

  What a quick flight they must have catch to reach here so quick and I thought it wasn't safe for them to travel by air.

  Moving away from the window I went to the bathroom, putting on a tights and a spaghetti strap blouse, I slide the heavy dresser away from the doorway.

  The children stirred awake, I head downstairs with hunger pangs hitting my stomach, Kemeil sat on the couch watching me descend.

  Jamie sat opposite him in an armchair, I walked passed both of them to the kitchen and prepared some quick sandwiches, tea and orange juice.

  Lori came downstairs with the twins and they bounded happily to thier father, Lori said good morning and came straight to the kitchen.

  Knowing she was hungry I handed her a plate of sandwiches, she thanked me and started eating.

  I went to Kemeil's office after and printed a few notices to paste on my doors.

{   *   KNOCK AND WAIT    * }
{   *    TO BE ASKED IN      *  }
{  *   FAILURE TO DO SO   *  }
{ WILL NOT RESULT WELL}
    4 copies

    Taping two on each door, Kemeil and Jamie looked at me, Jamie's hand looked fine, maybe I didn't break it after all, it must have been just dislocated.

  Taking the children upstairs I bathed the twins and put them to play on the carpeted floor of thier room, I sent Lori to bathed and changed while I pack out the twins clothes.

  Then I went and packed out Lori's clothes too, leaving the children to play and familiarize themselves with thier surroundings, I closed the safety grill at the top of the stairs and went and prepared dinner.

  This time Kemeil was alone fast asleep on the couch, I wiped down the already clean looking dining table then shared dinner.

  Kemeil got up and not asking any questions dished out a large plate of food, me and the children ate at the dining table, while he sat and ate at the kitchen counter

  His bags and suitcases were in his office unpacked and I hope he sleeps there too. The front door opened without warning causing a frightened Lori to spill her juice.

  Mishand waltz in, walked passed us and slap an envelope on the counter in front of Kemeil, she walked back out without saying a word.

  Lori went and couldn't find a mop, so I got up from my half eaten dinner, my appetite completely severed and searched for one.

  Not finding any, I went out to the back to see if I could find any old piece of cloth to dry up the spreading mess.

  Locating an old sheet I tore it and went and sap up the mess, Lori sat worriedly not eating her food.

  "Eat up your food." I told her. Kemeil's almost finish eaten plate sat before him on the counter as he held his head down in front of him.

  I  was so angry I could cry, covering up my half eaten dinner, I waited until the children had finish eaten, I cleared the table then take what I know they would need for the night and went upstairs with them.

  Locking the grill at the top of the stairs, I thought I had gotten rid of Annette but here comes another bitch trying to face me head on.

  We watched movies in Lori's room until we all fell asleep on Lori's bed.

  I woke to use the bathroom in the night and found Kemeil lying in the couch in our room, I use the bathroom and went back to sleep with my children in Lori's bedroom.

  The morning came with showers of rain, Kemeil was no longer in the couch in our room, I took care of my hygiene and made my way to the kitchen.

  The smell of fish assaulted my nose, I saw him in the kitchen and made a u turn. "Itrisha! good morning, are the children awake? the breakfast is ready." He said somewhere between calm and nervous.

  Turning to look at him I shook my head telling him no and turned again to go. "Come and have yours then." he said walking towards me.

  "Sleeping all day is bad for my health." I told him lowly. "Please come and eat." He said, his voice wavered slightly and I would have missed it, if the place wasn't so quiet.

  I looked at his face and he held my hands, I felt like a small electricity shock passed through our hands, or maybe it's just me I thought.

  He pulled me along into the kitchen and began sharing food into a plate, I sat down on one of the stools and waited, he place a plate on the counter in front of me then a cup of tea.

  I thanked him and sipped the tea, he came to sit beside me with his breakfast, I barely ate anything but I drank my tea.

  The breakfast was ok, but I  have trust issues, he dished out the childrens breakfast as Lori brought them into the kitchen and I left him chatting with them.

  After washing and combing my hair, I felt a sense of peace flow over me as I looked through the window down into the back yard.

  The overgrown gardens needed weeding, I heard Kemeil and the children giggling in the bathroom, the twins can be a real handful sometimes.

  There little excited chatters filled me with indescribable joy, I loved them so much, they are my world.

  I took my phone and look up the schools close by. "Hi, I wanted to talk to you," Kemeil said coming into the room.

  Putting down my phone he sat beside me and cleared his throat, he was too close for comfort and I ease up and sat a little further from him on the couch.

  His look told me he took knowledge of it, but I didn't care I care about me first, his feelings could kiss the carpet.

  "First I want to thank you for being apart of my life, I really appreciate that you are. I know you are angry with me and I deserve it, you may not want to hear it, but I'm truly sorry." He spoke slowly with much emotion and I believed him.

  But! I've heard a very emotional apology like this from him already. "I was just afraid that you were going to leave me, I only wanted to take away you and the children's travel documents.

  Please forgive me and let us move pass this, because I can hardly think straight when we are fighting." I got up not wanting to listen to him anymore.

  I went to walk through the door, but he held unto my hand. "Itrisha please.." he began to say. "Kemeil our relationship has ended some months ago. Let us just live good for the children's sake, I'm tired of the back and forth, the lies, your cheating." He close his eyes and dropped his head.

  "The back stabbing, I don't want it anymore and if you are not willing to let me live here with our children in peace, then I will go away and you may never see us again, so please understand this is what I truly want, some peace." I told him.

  He looked deep in my eyes as if he was searching for my soul, I looked away from him afraid that he might see the truth.

  The truth of how much I love him and how much hurt he has made me feel, the realization of me admitting that I love him, shook me and I trembled.

  Moving out of his hold, he started to say. "Itrisha.." Lamond's loud wail from down the passage in thier room, stopped him from talking as I walked quickly to see what was wrong with my son.

  I lifted him off the floor as he rubbed his eyes sleepily, his sister tried to stand rubbing her eyes also. "Lori honey could you go get thier juice, please?" I asked and Lori got up quickly and left the room answering.

 
  Rocking them to sleep, I kissed thier beautiful little hands and cheeks, they fell asleep soon after.

  Lori was reading one of her books when I passed her room and Kemeil was sitting in the couch in deep meditation or plotting.

  I went downstairs looking for something to do, the rain started falling again, I thought about baking a cake for Lori's upcoming birthday.

  Hearing Kemeil's heavy thread coming down the stairs, I looked towards that direction and see him coming into the kitchen.

  "Itrisha, please follow me to my office," he said and turned, what does he want now, I wondered. I followed a couple seconds after, the door was left open and I stood in the doorway.

  I looked in not seeing him and he just went in, I stepped into the room and the door closed behind me.

  Turning around to face him with a angry scowl on my face, he smirked, he was so fucking handsome it hurt me for his evil manipulating ass.

  "What is it?" I asked in a no nonsense voice. "Let's make love and see if you still feel it's better we part." He whispered quite charmingly, I hissed my teeth and tried to push pass his big stature.

  "I'm not forcing you, ok kiss me and I'll let you go." He said trying to sound peony. "Pssh! you sound like a ish, it doesn't fit you." I told him trying to sound like Petran.

  And I realize I may have hit a nerve, he smiled sadly and held my hand, carrying it to rest on his stiff pants front.

  He looked at me with that terrible look, that made me feel weak, I snatched my hand away and tried for the door again.

  He stood behind me and braced on me, until I was level with the door, I gripped the door for balance.

  Wining and bracing against me trapped between him and the door, I spun around, trying to ease him off me big mistake, he dipped his head and kissed me, while I fought him off until I was tired.

  He was a damn good kisser and I didn't know when I started responding back to the kiss.

  "Kem where are you?" I heard Ms Eloise voice as if in a dream, his head snap up and he scowled.

  I would have laughed if it was in other circumstances, but the sound of her wheelchair in the passage make my anger rear it's head.

  Kemeil went out and close the office door with me inside. "Mother did you see a sign on the door?" I heard him asking her. "That does not goes for me." she responded.

  "Yes it does." He told her seriously. "Ok I'm sorry, I thought Mishand was just being funny. What is wrong though.

  Thier voices went with them through the front door, and it closes with a soft thud. I opened the office door and walked out.
