Malon's Obsession 2

Jammie's time to go back abroad had finally come. There was a celebration at my mother-in-law for Jammie's goodbye. I had avoided her ever since the difference we had but this time I had no choice. I had to be there. I woke up feeling dizzy, took a shower and started fumbling through the wardrobes looking for something I'd wear today to Jammie's send off to the US party. " Looking for something to wear? I brought you something," Kings told me smiling as he pointed to the clothes on the bed. "Thank you, you're the best. " I smiled and kissed him; he went back to prepare breakfast. His clothes were over mine; I moved them, it was a blue thong on top and light blue floral short dress that was bare at the back. I gasped! It was the same as the dress I had worn last time! The last time I saw his stepbrother, Malon! 

Kings mother never liked Malon because his mother had taken away the love Kings father had for her. She took all her frustrations on him and would never hesitate to treat him badly at any slight thing he had done. Malon's mother had passed away when he was about nineteen. Malon was tall, he had grey deep-set eyes that he had inherited from his Canadian mother. He was brown skinned, tall and had a good physique just like Kings. They inherited it from their father. He had long curly hair that he often cut to reach his shoulders. My first encounter with Malon was when Kings had approached me at Hudda Privates. This hotel was everyone's dream! It was expensive and at that time, Detah my best friend and I had saved the whole year just to go and swim in there. We couldn't afford the meals. " Hello ladies, you two look so beautiful!". Kings had said to us. He set his eyes on me and asked," Would you mind giving me your number? I'd like to plan a date sometime. " I had not resisted because Detah had threatened me that I shouldn't refuse to talk to anyone because we were there to change our fortunes and find some rich men. That's where she met her husband Bright. Bright was Australian. I had seen Malon standing from afar waiting for Kings, when I went past him, I remember smiling at him and he looked shocked. He smiled back nervously. 

When Kings and I started dating, I noticed him almost everywhere, it was like he was always following us. He never seemed to like Kings. He loved Jammie and never talked to their elder sister Maria. Maria had two sons, Benji and Ryan. She was about fifty-five years old. Her son Benji was twenty-nine, he had a very beautiful fiancé and Ryan was twenty-five. He was very secretive, and no one knew anything about him except his mother and father. Jammie was now in his early thirties and Malon was thirty-five. Their father had passed away before I even met him. I didn't know him except for the pictures I was showed and the others that were hanged on the walls. Three years ago, when Kings and I were still dating and he had proposed to me, we had a celebration at their house. I remember Kings mom sending me to find Kings, " Go get your husband to be for me Phy, I need him to fix something now,". " Okay ma'am, " I had answered and ran upstairs. I had only been to Kings' room in this house once. I still didn't know if it was the one on the left or right. I didn't want to bother going back downstairs to ask which was Kings room, but I knew how it looked. I opened the one on the right and everything seemed similar to me. "Kings, your mom wants you to fix something for her downstairs, " I said loudly. No one answered, I went towards the bathroom, and no one was there. I started for the door and noticed a picture on top of a small album on the table. It was a white woman. I figured it must have been Malon's mother. 

I went and looked at the picture, she had grey, siren eyes. Her hair was blond and had thin lips. She had fair skin, so beautiful. Curious, I opened the album and started flipping through the pages. I couldn't believe my eyes! Was this Malon's or Kings' room? Why did they look so similar, I had been to Ryans room, Benji's room and Mari's room that were downstairs and none of the looked similar. Even my mother in law's had a different arrangement. I noticed everything was similar except the colors. This room had dark and dull colors, Kings room always had orange and white put together nicely. He was his mother's favorite, and she enjoyed making his, Mari's and Ryan's rooms because of the colors they liked. Why was this album having my photos? Most of them I was at the Hudda Privates swimming and some when I was outside laughing or at the coffee shop and restaurants I went to when with Kings. " I don't think that's good behavior," I closed the album and looked over my shoulder and saw Malon. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was sent for Kings and didn't know which was his room. This one looks similar to his." ..." Yeah, I like copying a lot from him, he's my inspiration just a little bit different. He's brighter, " he shrugged as he came closer to me. His door was slightly opened, and I felt like he had done this on purpose. 

" I'll go now," I said as I took a few steps back until I felt my back on the wall near his bathroom. He came closer, stared at me for a while, we were so close, and anyone would think ill when they saw us like this. " It's our first time having a conversation, we've really never talked before are you aware?". He stepped even closer that his chest touched my face, I noticed he was taller than Kings. " I need to go Malon. I don't feel this is appropriate. " I tried to move away from him but had no space. He caressed my face and leaned down like he was about to kiss me, I pushed him away and stormed out of his room. I went downstairs and found Kings already talking to his mother. " Where have you been?  I've been looking everywhere for you," I went to Kings and held his hand. I was still trembling. " I went to get more drinks, it's celebration today and the more the drinks the more fun it will be", he said and kissed my hands. He noticed the trembling. He looked up stairs and I followed his gaze. Malon stood there looking down at us. He then disappeared into his room. That had been the last time I saw Malon. After that day I heard they had quarreled with Kings mom, and she had called him an outcast and chased him out. Kings looked at me and smiled, " Come, let's get some food". He ushered me to the dining table.  I had worn the same dress as this one the one I was wearing today.  I wore it, added gold jewelry, wore my friend's collection perfume called Joba, it smelled like nature itself, so feminine!  I then wore my white platforms to match the dress. 

I went to have breakfast with him. " My queen! You look gorgeous!". He said pulling out a seat across from where he sat. We ate breakfast, he then went and changed to his nicely fitting suit and black Gucci official shoes, and we left for the party. Not so many neighbors had been invited, just one old couple that lived across from the my mother-in-law's. My mother in law's best friend, Maria who we called Mari and her two sons and Jamie. The party was fun, we did mini auditions, showcased our talents and Kings mom apologized to me and called me for a dance. We danced happily as the rest cheered us. I saw Jammie was so happy but a bit stressed. He stood slightly away from where everyone sat and had conversations. I went to him and asked, " Are you feeling homesick already sir!". He straightened his pose and sized me up, a behavior I was already used to.  "I wonder what he'd say if he saw you now ha-ha,". He said and walked towards the group of people who were in deep discussions. Who did he always refer to? He often used that phrase, and I never understood why. ' Pervert!' I thought and went to sit beside Kings. 

Two months had already passed ever since Jammie went abroad. I was mostly busy working but from home. Kings was even busier since he had told me that he merged his company with Jammie, Hudda Privates. It was a big hotel but now they had to even work harder because a new one had come up. The Mayorrs. It was big, modern and classy. It only allowed delegates and other wealthy people in the society. Detah had already been there with her husband, and she bragged about it every time we talked on the phone since she heard Kings was a shareholder at Hudda Privates.  She wanted me jealous! I was preparing my reading in the balcony when my phone beeped. It was rare for me to get messages from unknown numbers. I opened the message and read it, ' Hello baby, can you come meet me at the Mayorrs?, I've sent a black Jeep Wrangler to pick you. Mr. Lowad is your ride. '

What was Kings planning this time? I wondered. I went to our room to change before leaving. I looked for clothes and didn't find any. I decided to check Kings wardrobe to find if he had hidden some more clothes for me but didn't find any, I spotted a box and pulled it out. It seemed like it was hidden. I shook it and it seemed like it had a phone in it. I opened the box and took the phone out. It was unlocked. I went to the call logs and saw the name Cicily, they had several conversations, and this phone had called her severally. I opened messages and read for a while and saw, ' I divorced him because he found out the kids are ours. I have no choice. ' And the reply was ' I'll take them abroad don't worry '. ' Thank you, Kings, I don't know how I'll ever repay you handsome, '. ' You don't have to, I got you. '

My hands trembled and I almost dropped the phone. I locked it and placed it back to the box. Returned it safely as it was. I went to my wardrobe and chose a red long and tight dress that had a slit up to my thighs. I wore black platform heels and took my small Channel bag. I applied my Queen and Joba perfume. I pulled my locs into a high bun and left two hanging at the front. I had on some golden earrings my dad had bought me and left. I bid the security bye and went outside the gate. The black jeep was there. I immediately knew it was him, he knew how much I loved jeep. He liked Lamborghini. Mr. Lowad was standing outside just near the door, he greeted me and helped to the car. He then climbed up to his chair and started the car. 

Mayorrs was so beautiful. It was modernly made like the ones in the movies with high technology. We took the elevator to the highest floor of the building. There were several rooms, but we went to the last one which seemed bigger than the rest. Mr. Lowad held the door open, and I went inside, he then remained outside and closed it. That room faced towards the city. It had big windows. I could almost see everywhere. I loved views! A hand came from behind me and hugged me from the back. The person then kissed my neck and I felt long hair around my neck, I pushed him and moved away. Malon?!
