BLACK HEART( Dear Mariel )
Black Heart- Chapter1
©PWEETY DESOLA
The morning was so bright”
I woke up and did my normal house chores.
Dad had already gone for his normal business”
I had my bath and put on a long simple gown,i tied my scarf and rubbed a white powder.
Pardon my manners,
I forgot them.
I’m Mariel.
I lived with my dad.My mum is dead already so i just had to live in this cruel world with my dad. I prefer calling him by his name which is Lutral”
I would say we are not poor and we aren’t rich either.We’re just an average. I mean a middle family.
I’m tall,fair in complexion with a gap teeth,my face is oval in shape.
I live my life based on Simplicity and my personalities.
Lilian called Lil for short is my Bestie.
I walked to the backyard and packed the well wrapped bunch of rose flower which laid perfectly on the floor”
That’s it”
I have always love keep trying even when am tired.
I sell those flowers near Karen’s mart and save the little i can to help Lutral.
I remember Lutral telling me he lend some money from Lucas which is Jeffrey,the most popular gangster whom Lil is always talking about.
Lucas is his father”
He panicked that day”
Mariel,the money i borrowed from lucas,the business i engaged in was not successful and Lucas is asking for his money.
So,i just had to raise some token to assist him.
I bundled the flower tenderly and head for Karen’s mart”
I walked shabbily”
A black limo splashed dirty water on my yellow gown,making it look like it’s a rag”
Can’t you see??
Are you ducking blind or what?? I cursed outwardly.
The tinted glass of the limo was whyned down”
The guy was so handsome with his sharpened Jaw and his lips,they are so…….”
I snapped out of my bad thought”
I you blind or what?? I shouted at him
Ohh”
You’re just a gold digging witch”
So i don’t see any reason why i should see you there”he replied coldly and drove away but he did not forget to splash another large quantity of dirty water on me.
So rude”
Handsome”
With beautiful set of lips”
Brown curly hair”
Black hazel eyes that were enclosed in a dark sun shade.
Such a spoilt brat”
*********
I spread my rose flower neatky on a white sack.
Buy your sweat flower” i shouted amidst the crowd near Karen’s mart.
Just for $7″ i added
I don’t know what suddenly happened.The rowdy market suddenly became tensed and quiet”
Read related story: EVE
That’s Jeffrey” i heard whispers from the curious mob.
Who’s Jeff???
I moved closer to see for myself”
Jezzz”
That arrogant brat!
The spoilt Brat!!!
The one i saw in the black limo,his car just passed through.
None of my business”
I continued shouting”
Just for $7.
Just buy one and give it to your lover”
The sale was pretty bad.
I packed the flower back into the sack and head back for home.
Lil is not in shop today,i think that’s why today looked kinda boring”.
Lutral V
My money now”Lucas shouted.
His men had already surrounded me”
Lutral!!! He shouted in a very thick British ascent
My money! His voice was cold blooded.
One of his men drew me by my collar”
Then the door clipped open.
Mariel came in”
The sack dropped from her hand.
Dad!! She ran to me”
Hey! Lucas shouted…
Guards get her! He shouted.
I watched sobberly as they grabbed Mariel.
When you return my $350,000 you come and get your daughter” he said with his eye blood shot.
Lucas,i only borrowed $100,000 from you and you are requesting for
$350,000″ i said
He only laughed….
Lutral,i give you 48hours to return my money or else,your daughter is mine forever.
Now sign this!! He shouted giving me a paper.
No i won’t” i retorted.
He removed his gun from his waist belt and pointed it at my skull”
Shivers ran through my spine…..
Father please sign it,i don’t wanna loose you”Mariel begged.
No i won’t” i replied shakily.
Oya tell me the truth
How was it
___________
This one weak me oooo
Lutral borrowed $100,000 from Lucas, and Lucas is now demanding for $350,000…
