Faint Echoes

CHAPTER 4

As I entered the Gentry estate, I immediately felt at ease.
I greeted the security guards and when I got to the Okeke mansion, I called my boyfriend to come open up

"Babyy " he hugged me so tight like we weren't in school together .He was shirtless as usual, revealing his tight and that I was urging to caress badly.

"You look beautiful baby "he whispered and kissed my neck...I wasn't comfortable but I couldn't stop him ...He was in a good mood and I'd rather leave it at that

The okeke mansion is one of the biggest in Gentry estate....Gentry estate is where the rich stay .His house was like one of those houses you'll see in a high budget movie and be marvelled by it's structure

I've been here a series of time but I still get fascinated each time

Dan led me to his room as usual ,one of the messiest place I've been to
I always end up clearing his mess before I go home

"So...what's up"

"I'm fine"

"I know you are"

"Ohh ok"

"The money ?" He demanded and I immediately streached out fifteen thousand naira notes from the money I had on me .

"Lola!!!" he barked

"Babe ,calm down what's wrong "

"What's wrong?....are you seriously asking me that "

"Dan ... please be calm"

"What the fuck......I said I needed twenty thousand......shit" he kept cussing at me and I did nothing but stare

His parents were rich ,filty rich .....they sponsored almost every school event and were extravagant spenders but my boyfriend claims he hated asking them for anything and I could understand......He hated his parents

His mother owns a jewelry shop and his father has a cosmetic factory ......Screaming richness ba?

But they were bad parents and even my mom was a better parent than both of them

"Dan .... please" it calmed him a little and he wrapped his hands around me cleaning my tears.

"Babe I'm sorry"

"It's fine"

"No....I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry too "

"Do you love me?" He never got tired of asking me that question and I also never got tired of assuring him

"Dan ...I do ,I swear"

"Can I?" I nodded trying to pacify his earlier anger

"Use words Lola"

"Yes you can" he unzipped my fitted gown .......what ever he did ,I just wanted him to be happy.

"I love you Lola" with that he zipped up my gown and hugged me while I remained mute , I couldn't question his decisions

My phone beeped and it was a notification from WhatsApp

09023*****34: Hi ,it's Queen🙃🙃❤️
Me. :Hi😊
Queen. :Awwn thank God you replied 😩❤️......so how are you?

"Who's that?" He didn't let me reply before he snatched my phone and read the text out loud .

"What does she want?"

"I don't know na ...she just texted me"

"So you have a new friend"

"Somehow"

"Interesting..." I smiled because it seemed like he was proud of me for making a new friend even though I couldn't consider her as one yet .

But suddenly,he hurled my phone across the room but fortunately I was fast enough to get hold of it

"Dan ....what the fuck was that " he started laughing like a maniac making me tensed out of the blues

"You're using the F word at me ,awwwn so bold of you my love " he kept moving close to me and his eyes were screaming "you're fucking dead "

I ran quickly from where he stood ... His anger was something I never looked forward .But then as I opened my eyes, I was bewildered by the sudden change in his demeanor. He was crying, his shoulders shaking with each sob. It was a distressing sight, and my fear began to transform into concern.

"Daniel, please," I pleaded, my anger dissipating. "What's wrong? Why are you so upset?"

He wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and looked at me with eyes that were filled with a turbulent mix of emotions.

"Do you love me, Lola?" he asked, his voice quivering.

It was a familiar question, one that he had asked before. I nodded, my heart aching for him.

"Yes, Daniel," I said softly.

"I love you."

His face softened, and he reached out to caress my cheek.

"I love you too, Lola," he whispered, his voice filled with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine.

"I just... I can't stand the thought of losing you."

I placed my hand on his, trying to comfort him.

I didn't fully understand why he was so upset, but I didn't want to see him in pain.

"You won't lose me, Daniel," I reassured him.

"I'm here for you, no matter what."

He pulled me into a tight embrace, and I could feel his heart pounding against mine. In that moment, I didn't question his actions or his words. I simply held him, believing that our love could conquer whatever challenges lay ahead.
