CHAPTER FOURTEEN- WORDS LEFT UNSAID
The mystery of time is that it waits for no one, it is always on its journey with the speed of light attending to all affairs of mortals and forces that rule over the land and surreal. Jador stepped into the battleground and the tension in the air was indisputable as even other warriors could tell there was an appetency for greatness within him, he pulled out his sword which shone brightly in the eyes of the sunrays as it bathed its metal blades richly, radiating like a silver gilt in the eyes of the other fellow warriors some of who seemed awestruck.
He seemed very calm and ready for battle, something that slightly unsettled Halanda(In Gilk's body), the fight began and men started to fall, mighty and small, brave and craven men all met with a similar fate; to fall by the blade of steel in his arms and to shed their blood on the soil as they lay on the ground and accepted defeat that takes them to their demise. Jador was fast and light on his feet and as he fought he delivered his slashes quickly, especially among the giant warriors who quickly met their end with his several strikes within a short while, much quicker than the time they would use to deliver their blow.
Halanda(in Gilk's body) on the other hand also became victorious with each warrior, cutting into them faster than they could even blink, she had already applied the sorcery arts of Poison dien on the sword and this amplified her speed and agility as well,
she was not only confident that her soul lies in a well built strong manly body that was exceedingly muscular making her feel almost indestructible, but she had furthermore taken time to submerge herself in the sea of dark arts and sorcery, Photos had been. being a great teacher and she thought to herself 'He would be proud' while she smiled maniacally as it dawned on her that the time had come.
Alexander wakes up in the ward, with one of his girlfriends, he could still perceive the mephitic odor in the hospital vicinity, he felt a bandage on his head as he opened his eyes and a heavy headache overwhelmed him. Seated by his bed was Via his wife, and the one who seemed to always be there for him the most; she looked very distraught as she watched and waited for him to open his eyes while she fought back tears in hers.
Via was called by Alexander's friend Zane who was scared to call his mother as Alexander's family was still yet to recover from the loss of Alexander's father whom they had planned to bury soon. Zane himself had just recently left due to his work schedule and he would be back in the evening, he instructed Via not to tell Alexander's mum and hopes it is not a severe case as Alexander only had a deep head injury from the collision.
'There was a car tailing me' he said, Via eyes shined bright with excitement and she quickly drew closer to him having heard his voice she replied to him almost tearfully 'You should rest honey, you have been unconscious for seven hours' Alexander's eyes popped open and he wanted to sit up a bit but the banging headache in his head soon prompted him to give up the idea. 'A car was after me' he repeated, this time to himself as he slowly glanced through the hall and looked at the young boy on life support lying on the bed by his right side, he looked at his wife for a moment. and then spoke. 'How did I get here' he asked and Via told him his friend had been called by the police soon after the car crash had happened and that he was found alone lying unconscious, a few steps away from his car; she queried him on why he would be moving around alone at this critical period without security and that Huncho is outside with his men already securing his environment.
Alexander tells her not to be too hard on Huncho as he had been the one who wanted to drive alone, he wanted to explore the city himself and he also did not want to be weighed down by the death of his father, while they were there Alexander began receiving calls from some of his numerous girlfriends; one of the most notorious and deliberate ones whose name is Taymie was already at the hospital and she called to tell Alexander that his security would not let her in.
Unknowingly to her, Via was the one who picked up the call, and she did not say a word while she spoke till she cut the call; Via was not a stranger to her husband's straying ways, but she loves him deeply and tries her best to help cover his dirty tracks, she even goes to the far extent of helping him deal with his stubborn concubines when they try to blackmail him, Via ignored Alexander as he inquired to know who had called him, she instead brings out the food she had brought on her way to the hospital and tells Alexander to eat so he can have some strength as the call had already been taken care off, Via was a woman of purpose and ambition which is one of the traits Alexander married her for, even though her father Robbin was a wealthy gold merchant from a royal family and her uncle is a king Gastarus of the Alan City, a city blessed naturally with gold that had controlled wealth for centuries. She wanted to have her legacy and being the only daughter of her father, she knew she would be the sole inheritor of his wealth in the event of his demise, she smiled to herself and watched as Alexander ate quietly in comfort, unaware of what his quiet noble wife had in store for him.
Taymie wanted to come to check on Alexander as soon as she heard, she is one of the most desperate of all his escapades and wants him to herself, having failed to manipulate him to divorce his wife for two years now. She had begun stalking him in silence even going as far as sourcing for blackmail; digging up some dirt so she could have a hold on him all to no avail, she did not know who was responsible for thwarting her efforts, thrice she had gotten pregnant for him and under strange circumstances she had lost the pregnancies, without the doctor telling her what went wrong; the last time she deliberately kept a pregnancy to tie Alexander down, she had a breakdown suddenly at her place of work a week after telling Alexander about the pregnancy, of which he proposed an abortion and she rejected again and they had their bouts of argument before she cut the call and waited for him to call later in the day to apologize yet she insisted on carrying the pregnancy.
After losing the third pregnancy under a very eerie circumstance, the doctor told her she had lost the baby due to severe stress from her break down but Taymie would not buy this, she had not been that stressed of late, and being a senior operator in the media; she had subordinates she could always delegate duties too so she asked the doctor if she had any underlying illness or condition to which he replied 'No' and told her she was fine. Not satisfied with the doctor's result, she decided to use another doctor and it was in the process she realized that her last pregnancy was aborted without her knowledge, a development she became infuriated about and she decided to damn the consequences to see Alexander about it not minding that he had been hospitalized after a car crash.
Meanwhile, Huncho had gotten instructions from Via and he delivered within minutes, he stood her up, she had already dialed Alexander's number as she arrived, and Via had already instructed what to do with her but Taymie is an obstinate woman who never takes no for an answer, she tried to force her way in and she was knocked out quietly by Huncho's men, tied up and taken to the booth while Huncho watched. Via is a mighty lady of influence who always ensures to stay ten steps ahead of her adversaries and corrivals, unknown to Alexander himself, she had painstakingly taken steps to monitor his every move and has also kept tabs on every woman he flirts with, she even goes as far as ensuring that none of them bring up allegations or blackmail that would ruin his reputation, so when she discovered a certain Taymie was deliberately trying to eject her by all means, she was furious and decide to keep tabs on her every move, she ensured to settle her doctor and with the help of Taymie's boyfriend Kess who usually visits her, the plot was hatched and Taymie was drugged with an abortion drug without her knowledge while the doctor was also settled for him not to reveal anything that would arouse suspicion in Taymie. The third time Kess was so heartbroken after being informed by Via again about how his supposed fiance had gotten pregnant for Alexander for the third time in an attempt to make him divorce his wife and marry her, he felt so devastated and betrayed that he gave her way too much of the drug this time which was the reason she collapsed at her work place and knowing they would call him first as always, he sat back and waited for them to call and he ensured she was taken to the same doctor; at this point, he was thinking of the best way of punishing her himself but for now he was enjoying the show and the money that comes along with it from Via.
