Her Christmas desire - Season 2 - Episode 6

Can you get out of my way? I need to rest.’ Cassie stared at the carpet grass, afraid her eyes would let go the secret she was protecting.

Yemi quickly grabbed her left arm and pulled her closer to him, so he could take a closer look at her angelic face.

‘I’ll teach you some manners tonight,’ he whispered, his breath hot against her face.

This was the first time they ever got so close and she marveled at his perfectly built body. She suddenly wondered what sort of clothesn her design book would fit the king.

Her small hands were entrapped in his’ but she wasn’t eager to pull them away. She loved the tingly s£nsat!on that emanated from that sweet touch but she couldn’t let it show.
‘Get your hands away from me, you unrepentant brute!’ She fired at the King. He let go of her hand at once, and scurried away. Cassie left the King in wonder.

Yemi had come to realize that Cassie was slightly different from her sister. Of course, no two people were the same, Cassie was a spitfire. And this got him confused.

He could swear that he had caught her admiring him the other night at the dining hall, but why was she acting irked by his presence?

Did Cassie like him and was pretending or was she always arrogant?

‘I guess I have to find that out.’ His mind was made up, he needed to ask Pelumi to help him out.

Immediately Cassie reached her room, she shut the door firmly behind her. She peeled off her clothes and rushed towards the bathroom. Her skin was burning from his touch and she had to quench the fire.

She pulled off the ribbon from her hair and tossed it on the bathroom floor. Now she was free from him. She was in a place where the king couldn’t enter. This was her own world, were she would be transparent with herself and what she truly felt.

Cassie closed her eyes and let the cooling effect of the water pour into her head and her body.

Scenes of Yemi bathing and making love to her attacked her mind. She wondered what it would be like for the King to kiss her and run his hands all over her. He seemed like a passionate lover and she was eager to find that out.

‘This isn’t me!’ A yell of frustration poured out from her and she immediately got out of the shower. She rushed to the mirror and took a good look at her pale eyes.

How could she be attracted to the man that kidnapped her? Wasn’t that madness?

‘I miss home,’ her lips shuddered as she thought of her sisters-Eno and Elena.

Cassie wished she was never kidnapped in the first place. Now, she was torn between her attraction to the wicked king and her love for the family that had forgotten her.

The Benjamin house seemed empty though people still lived in it. The gloomy atmosphere was a result of Cassie’s mysterious disappearance and the inability of her sisters to find a way out of the problem.

Their mother on learning about the kidnap had immediately travelled to Jamaica to be with her sister. Tamar knew the King was behind her daughter’s disappearance and would come for her head soon, so the best thing was for her to run.

‘I can’t believe God gave us such a mother. I can bet my life that mum knows something about Cassie’s kidnap.’ Elena who had been reading something interesting from a blog said.

Their mother’s unusual behavior right after the Christmas break had been very suspicious.
‘Yea, mum had really acted weird after I told her Cassie hadn’t come home for two days. But that is not enough reason we should accuse the King of something so grave.’ Eno held her breath.
She desperately prayed and hoped that her sister hadn’t been kidnapped by King Yemi, because she had taste firsthand what it meant to live in a palace.

Irritated by her sister’s statement, and from what she had just read, Elena tossed her phone aside.

‘When you speak that way, it seems you are taking Yemi’s side. Have you forgotten that his men took you against your own will? That King is nothing but a criminal! He is behind this sister, why can’t you see it? It all makes sense.’ Elena wished her sister could share her point of view.

The Police hadn’t found their sister after searching for two months. And they couldn’t indict the King in this matter because they had no proof.

‘Wait Elena, I am not taking King Yemi’s side but I just want us to talk like intelligent people.’ Eno replied.

She knew why her younger sister believed the King was behind the kidnap.

‘You may think he took Cassie because he couldn’t have me, but that is wrong. The King swore to stay away from our family, that’s what Sam told me. He wouldn’t do such a thing.’ Eno was confident that her sister had been taken by some other people.

Elena arched a brow in disbelief, ‘How do you explain mum’s sudden travelling to Jamaica? Can’t you see that she is escaping to save herself? The King suffered humiliation at her hands when Sam took you away from him. She knew he would make her pay.’

Eno hated conspiracy theories. She was a scientist and dealt with facts and not mere assumptions.

‘I pray Cassie is safe wherever she is.’ This was her final resolve as the matter was out of their hands.

Elena quickly wiped a tear that scurried down her cheek. When she had newly learned of her sister’s kidnap, she had spent two weeks crying until she developed a migraine.
‘I just read something about the Princess. Vermillion was discovered in Lokoja and she led the Federal Government to it. She doesn’t look as hideous as you had described her.’ Elena decided to change the topic to avoid crying all over.

Eno felt peeved as she remembered the arrogant Princess Tayo who had treated her like scum.

‘Don’t let her fake smiles deceive you. She is a pain in the a-s. I just hope Cassie isn’t in that cursed palace.’ Eno shuddered as she remembered how she was locked in a dark room for hours; and action that later had a traumatic effect on her sleeping pattern.
Elena reached for her phone again, ‘I thought vermillion wasn’t existent in this part of the world. And why does the princess have anything to do with it?’ She suddenly became curious, as her mind had found something to replace her worries over Cassie.
Eno didn’t know much about the princess, so she didn’t have much to add.

‘I don’t know about that. But I learned the King has a mining company, which explains a little.’ She shrugged.

She was getting bored in the discussion with Elena. Her heart yearned for another kind of company.

‘I have something else to research on,’ Elena quickly brought out her jotter and crossed off a name that she had been obsessed it during the Christmas period.

‘And what is that?’ Eno smiled, knowing that Elena was the Sherlock Holmes of the family.

Her slender fingers grabbed her pen tightly as she crossed off the Mask’s name from her list of things to research on. She had been interested in the faceless outlaw, but she hadn’t found any information about him. Elena couldn’t see anything that would help uncover his identity.
