? Chapter Thirty ?
Leo pulled the car over after an hour. Beauty had no idea where she was until he opened the car for her.
“This way my lady” he said. Beauty walked behind him till they got to a big cruise ship that was already decorated.
She paused and shot her mouth wide open. The sailor took off his cap and bowed.
“Welcome my lady, he’s in there, waiting for you” he said.
“Good bye my lady” Leo said and drove back home. He wanted to hurry back to check on Sally.
.
“Dylan?” Beauty called out as she finally got inside the ship.
“You are late for the dinner my lady” she heard his voice behind him and turned to stare at him. He was holding two glasses of champagne.
“I’m sorry Master” she walked to him and collected a glass from him.
He chuckled softly.
“This place is amazing” she said, still admiring it.
“I had it for myself when I was twenty” he revealed.
“I wonder how much is your net worth” she rolled her eyes.
“You don’t need to know sweetie, it could blow your mind”
“Nice try” she scoffed. He turned and signaled the sailor then the ship started moving.
“Have you ever been on something like this?” He asked.
“Yeah, once. It was a bikini $h00t for Ocean magazine” Beauty snorted.
“I see. Well, my wife exposed my secret about me showing up in the MBM in ten days time. What punishment do you think I give her?” He asked Beauty.
“Why don’t you make her finish a whole chicken? She must be starving” she replied. Then the sound of her rumbling stomach followed.
.
Leo got home and quickly left the car. He ran into the mansion and head to Sally’s room. It was locked.
“Sally? Are you okay?” He knocked the door softly.
“Of course, I’m fine. Why?”
“Can you… Ummm, let me in?” He asked.
“No” she replied.
“Come on, I just want to see you” he replied.
“You’ll see me tomorrow. Go to sleep” she replied from inside her room.
“Sally! Come on, please” he said.
.
Sally walked to the door and opened it. He adjusted his standing position and took a step towards her. She pushed him back.
“Why do you want to come in?”
“Just to…”
“You said you wanted to see me. Here I am, good night”
As she was about to close the door, Leo forced himself into her room and locked the door behind.
“f_ck! Leo!”
“Relax Sally, I won’t touch you, you won’t even notice my presence” he said.
Sally folded her arms and watched him, walk round her room.
“I h@ťě you Leo”
.
Beauty was on the bed with Dylan.
“We are going to see Granny tomorrow. She’s sick” Dylan said.
“What? What happened to her?” Beauty sat up.
“Relax, I sent the doctor to her already. But, her condition is critical. I just hope she’s well” he said. Beauty was even more worried than Dylan.
“I’m worried Dylan. We should see her once we leave from here” Beauty said.
“As you wish” he replied.
.
The next morning, as early as Five, Leo’s phone has rung over ten times. He was half naked on the bed with Sally.
He could hear his phone ringing but the sound seem faint.
“Leo! Wake up! Argh!” Sally grunted and grabbed the bedsheets. She covered herself and ran into the bathroom.
“f_ck! I’m supposed to pick them up” Leo quickly grabbed his clothes and phone and ran away to his own room.
He changed into something else and left the mansion to pick Beauty and Dylan from the port. He drove speedily and finally met with them.
“I’m sorry Master. My phone was…”
“It’s okay. Take me to granny’s place” Beauty said.
“Aren’t you going home first?”
“No, I can’t. I want to see her first before anyone else” she said.
“Let’s go” Dylan added.
.
They got into the car and drove to Granny’s place. Beauty was still thinking about her. She wasn’t even concerned about her Beauty. She was concerned about Granny. It took some hours before they arrived at Granny’s house.
.
Beauty alighted from the car and ran into the small house. She ran into Granny’s room and saw her lying sick on the bed. She fell on her knees and shook her head.
“Granny?” She called out as tears rolled down her eyes. She remembered all of the teaching she gave to her. She was the one that made her learn how to cook and do other house chores. She was the one that also made Dylan get married to her.
“Beauty?” Granny called out. She turned her head slowly and also saw Dylan standing behind her.
“I’m fine Beauty, don’t cry” she said and used her shaky hands to wipe the tears off Beauty’s face. Beauty felt something in her body. She actually thought her beauty was back but it wasn’t.
“Granny. Please, respond to treatment” Dylan finally spoke up, trying not to cry.
“Treatment isn’t responding to me” she said, trying to be funny. She doesn’t want them to be worried about her.
“Oh, please Granny. Save your strength” Beauty said.
She coughed and started breathing hard.
“You have to leave her now. She needs rest” the nurse said.
“Come on Beauty, let’s go. You heard the doctor” Dylan muttered and pulled Beauty out of Granny’s room.
“I’ll stay here with her”
“I have to take care of my dad and his properties”
“I know, that’s why I’ll stay here with granny. You can go to your father”
“Are you sure?” He asked, taking a step closer to her.
She nodded.
“It’s fine. I just want to see her get well” she replied.
“I’ll come check on you” he said.
“Send Sally over also. She should bring my clothes”
“Yes my lady” he nodded and left.

Tara bumped into Sally in the mansion. She was on her way to school.
“Hey Sally” she said, smiling broadly.
“Oh, hi there Tara” she replied.
“I hope you had a great time last night” Tara winked at her.
Sally swallowed hard and took a step closer to Tara.
“What do you mean?” She asked. Tara flung her hair to the back and bit her lower lips.
“Of course, you know what I mean. My room is close to yours and… I just couldn’t sleep last night”
“You’ll keep it a secret from everyone. Please!” Sally pleaded.
“It’s okay. I don’t kiss and tell. I just hope we don’t hear another news nine months later” Tara winked and walked away.
Sally remembered she didn’t take any contraceptive pill. She ran back to her room. She really couldn’t believe that Tara overheard everything that happened.
.

Dylan finally got to the hospital. He just came out from the doctor’s office with his father’s report. He had less than seven days left.
He walked to his father’s room and saw that he had just finished eating. The nurse took the plates away and left the room.
“My son, you are here” he said.
“Yes father. I want to spend your last days with you” he replied with a smile on his face.
“Dylan, you just look for ways to surprise me” he father replied and adjusted his sitting position.
“I haven’t surprised you enough father. I should probably bring my wife here so you see her”
“You are married? To who? Wait, how?!!” His father was shocked.
“You know her but… You don’t know her. There are other things I’ll have to share with you before you… I’m going to miss you father”
“It’s just my time to leave this wicked world. I hope you have a happy life”
“Thanks father” he replied.
.
Tara alighted from the car after one of Dylan’s guards dropped her off.
Someone grabbed her and pushed her to a corner, with a knife on her neck.
“You little brat!”
“Jason?!” She called out.
