The lecturer 4
……………………………….
Ann stood there frightened by Ben’s stare and wondering what would become of her. Ben advanced towards her angrily, making her take steps backwards until her back hit the wall. There, Ben held her by the neck and shook her violently. “You thought I was a kid of yesterday? You thought I would just take your offer without any suspicions or being careful? I’m too smart for your dull brain, girl. I knew you would do something sinister that was why I left the door of the bathroom slightly open. I watched your every move, you dumb @zz. You just bought you and your stupid boy a bigger problem”, Ben thundered while shaking Ann who was visibly fidgeting.
Ann opened her mouth to speak but she was shut up by a thunderous slap from Ben. She landed on the bed and Ben went after her. He forcefully turned her, making her be in a kneeling position with her hands on the bed. In that position, he slotted his penis into her V@ģĭń@ and started th-ru_sting. With each th-ru_st in and out of Ann’s dry V@ģĭń@, hot tears of pain escaped from her eyes. But Ben didn’t mind. He continued th-ru_sting harder and enjoying the un-mutual segzual intercourse. By the time his beastly pleasure was satisfied, Ann’s vulva and V@ģĭń@l walls had been brutally bruised. Ben had R@P£D her. After that, Ben dressed up and made to leave. By the door, he stopped and said “you just bought a bigger problem”, and left.
Ann stay a little longer in the hotel room crying out her eyes and nursing the pains in between her thighs. She managed to drag herself to the bathroom and cleaned up her slightly bleeding V@ģĭń@. After that, she left in shame, regret and self-pity. Also, she left with a resolution to not only destroy Ben’s career, but to also delete him from the face of the earth. She was determined to go to any length and give anything to deal with the beast. She dragged herself to her apartment and locked herself in. She also called Chisom and told him she was travelling home for some days. That was because she didn’t want Chisom to see her in her current state. She didn’t also want to explain what happened to him. She believed that ignorance of the whole thing was better for him.
Time went on and things started seeming normal again. Chisom was gradually healing from the heartbreak he felt because of her result. He also started reading harder to ensure that such thing didn’t happen again. If only he knew the force he was up against. Ann and Ben maintained their agreement. Ben had also started the process of changing Chisom’s grades as he promised. He had also become the shot caller in his relationship with Ann, and Ann followed obediently. The pain of incident in the hotel room seemed to have subsided only that it was bottled up in a special box in Ann’s memory. She had obediently followed Ben’s shots and had been bidding time to come up with a plan. The resolution she had was evergreen in her mind.
Meanwhile, Ben had come to believe that Ann had been subdued. She was no longer kicking against their relationship neither was she showing any signs of unwillingness. These facts massaged Ben’s ego and he called himself ‘the boss’s in his subconscious. He told himself that he was in charge and could get wh@ťěver he wanted. Little did he know that he who was pinned to the ground had his own plans. The content of a human mind is indeed a mystery.
When Ann was convinced that Ben had let his guard down, she decided it was time to strike. She didn’t only want Ben destroyed, she also wanted him dead. She thought of the best way to achieve that. She thought of using diabolic means, but the thought of being asked to do unimaginable things deterred her. She then resolved to use the help of ‘the men of the street’. That way, the only blood she would have to shed would be that of her tormentor. With that resolve, she went in search of ‘muscle’.
She had heard of the bad guys who were dreaded in and out of the campus. This set of bad guys who were only seen in the company of themselves had a place they stayed and smoked near the school. Ann went to meet them without any fear of being hurt. Her quest for revenge was way higher than her feeling of fear. When she got to the table where these guys were gambling, they looked surprised and apprehensive. They were four of them. One of them asked what she was looking for with the smoke from the weed he was smoking puffing out of his mouth. “I need your services”, Ann responded, surprising the guys even the more. The same guy asked her to leave the place before she would get hurt, but Ann stayed. “I can give anything to get your help. Anything at all”, Ann added. With the stubbornness and determination in her voice, the guys knew she was serious. One of them drew a seat for her to sit.
Immediately she sat down, they started asking her questions ranging from who sent her and how she got to know about them to why she thought they could help her and if she was ready to go down that road. The answers Ann gave them were convincing and they believed she was genuine. With that conviction, they asked Ann what she needed their help with. Ann went ahead and told them about her entanglement with Ben and the hurt she and her boyfriend had experienced. She told them about the near-rape incidence without sparing any detail. As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks. When she was telling her story, one of the guys hit his hand on the table, stood up and paced the room angrily. “These bastards would never change”, he said angrily.
When Ann finished telling her story and telling the guys what she needed their help with, one of them, the one that acted as their leader said, “you are in pains and you may not be thinking straight. Go home and ponder on this. If after one week you still want to do this, come back with hundred thousand Naira”. Ann stood up and said, “I have thought about this for months. I am sure this is what I want. I will come back when I have the money”, in a very decisive tone.
