Her Christmas desire - Season 2 - Episode 7

am no longer interested in the Mask. I want to find out if the King is behind Cassandra’s disappearance.’ Elena scribbled quickly on her note and rose to her feet.

She was about retiring for her room when she heard knock on the door. Both siblings exchanged gazes.

‘Are you expecting anyone?’ Elena raised a brow.

‘No, are you?’ Eno rose to her feet.
‘I forgot to tell you something…’Elena caressed her forehead as the throbbing pain had returned.

Since her mother had abandoned them for Jamaica, she had decided to invite their father to stay with them for a little while.

‘What is that?’ Eno drew closer as she saw her sister wince.

‘Nothing, we can talk later.’ Elena tasted her lips with her tongue and decided to get some sleep. She had been up all night researching about the Mask, but now she had given up on such a wasteful venture.

Slowly, the door to the mansion parted and someone she hadn’t expected to see walked in.

‘Sam?’ Elena smiled; she hadn’t seen her sister’s lover for a long time.

Sam knew how bothered Eno was about Cassie’s disappearance, but he couldn’t do anything to help her. If he rescued Cassie, he could be exposed for who he actually was.
‘Hello there!’ Sam waved at Elena, but avoided looking into her eyes. He wasn’t comfortable with Elena for no reason. His criminal instincts warned him that she was somehow dangerous.

Eno was all smiles as her lover walked in. She and Sam had not seen for long. They only conversed over the phone and social media platforms. She missed is face, his smile and his touch.

‘Darling…’She rushed forward and grabbed him with her slender arms.

‘I miss you so much.’ She whispered huskily.

Sam was delighted to see her. There were bags underneath her eyes and that meant that she hadn’t slept enough.
‘You have been thinking.’ He raised her chin up with his index finger. She looked very pale and fragile. He wanted to kiss away her pain.

Eno forced a smile and buried her face against his chest.

‘I am fine.’ She lied. She couldn’t let Sam know that she was disturbed about Cassie’s disappearance. She had grown fond of him and his company. But she didn’t want her personal issues to get into the way of their blossoming relationship.

Sam gently pushed her head up, so their eyes would meet together. He understood the kind of person Eno was after two months of dating. She tried to be strong even in the face of the storm.

‘It is okay if you let me into your pain. I love you Eno and I would do anything to make you feel better.’

His words had a soothing effect on her skin. She was suddenly filled with passion for him.
‘Make love to me please…’she failed to whisper, forgetting that her sister was there.

Elena rolled her eyes and stepped backwards.
‘Not yet, you’ll beg for it.’ Sam didn’t give her an opportunity to say another word before his lips swallowed hers in a delicious kiss that entrapped her entire being with desire.

Elena chuckled, ‘You guys should a get a room!’ She was about leaving for hers when she noticed the ugly scar that ran across Sam’s forehead.

This wasn’t the first time she had seen that scar, but at that moment, she felt strange about it. A feeling of déjà vu washed over her.
‘I’ve seen that scar before.’ Elena whispered, and quickly ascended the staircase. The Royal family could wait; it seemed there was more to her sister’s boyfriend than his lovely smile.

Elena was determined to find out.

The King had decided to spend his morning in the garden briefly, before leaving for the meetings he had with some of the foreign companies that needed vermillion supplies.

He wanted to use this opportunity to get some information from his cousin Pelumi, whom he would assign officially to spy on Cassie. His night had been long and unfulfilled. His bed had been cold.

The truth was that he was attracted to Cassie from the first day he had stepped into the Benjamin mansion. She was blazingly attractive, and any man would kill to have her.
‘My brother looks troubled.’ Tayo walked majestically into the garden.

The smell of tafia stung her nostrils and travelled down to her stomach. Her eyes quickly fell to the table in the garden. There was a huge bottle of Caribbean rum and her brother was drinking heavily from it.

‘You cannot be seen drinking brother,’ she rushed to take the glass he held but Yemi pushed her hands away.

‘Back off!’ The King quickly gulped down the dark brown liquid in the glass into his mouth. He gritted his teeth as a warm s£nsat!on spread over his belly.

If only his younger sister knew how much his thoughts had reflected on Cassie, she would leave him be.

‘Is this about what I did? I already fixed it! I sent a message to the Mask and his men. I expect a reply soon.’ Tayo said in a shaky voice, afraid she had pushed her brother to the brink.

‘Just go, I want to be alone.’ Yemi waved her off. He had forgiven his sister for her foolishness. All he could think of now was Cassandra, and the means to get into her heart.

Whenever he closed his eyes, her innocent face always appeared. Her lips, her laughter and the beautiful dresses she wore plagued his thoughts. Yemi had never been this obsessed with a woman.

He just wanted her to be comfortable around him. He wanted them to be friends, but she was really making things hard.

His eyes flew open at once, when a strange smell that wasn’t his sister’s troubled his nostrils. At once, he knew he wasn’t alone.
Pelumi had come.

‘You sent for me, your majesty.’ She bowed her head and stared at her toes. Yemi knew his request would sound absurd and awkward. He didn’t care. He simply wanted Cassandra to fall in love with him.

‘Sit,’ he gestured at a second chair in the garden, but Pelumi was hesitant. The King was the true representation of God, on earth. She felt undeserving of such great honor.

‘I shall stand my Lord.’ She played with her fingers.

Yemi didn’t have patience for her drama. He needed her to be relaxed with him. that was the only way she could get him the information he needed.

He did the unthinkable by dragging her closer to him without her permission. Pelumi’s eyes were wide in fear and confusion as she hadn’t expected him to act that way.

‘Are you ready to sit now?’ Yemi eyed her in annoyance.

‘Yes.’ She stuttered and grabbed the chair.
Once she was settled he explained that he needed her help with something important and he couldn’t trust any other person to do it, not even his sister.

‘You are my cousin Pelumi and you have to help me. If you work with me in honesty and pureness of heart, there shall be a great reward.’ Yemi promised and he would keep to his words.

Pelumi felt gladdened that the King wanted something from her. She would be the object of envy in the palace when the other maids learnt of this.

‘I would do anything that you want me to. But I don’t need a reward for it. You are my King and I am at your service.’ She bowed.
Yemi scoffed, why couldn’t people just act be themselves when they were around him?
‘Very well then, but you must not share this with anyone.’ He hoped his cousin was discreet. If she failed to keep their plan a secret, it could backfire and that would make him look like a fool before Cassie.

Pelumi was sure she didn’t need any reward for helping the King.

‘Can you tell me what it is that bothers his majesty?’ She clasped her hands together, ready to listen.

Though he was alone with Pelumi in the garden, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that they were being watched. Yemi scrutinized the garden once more, before proceeding with the meeting
