Chapter 62
Edna
We got to Madam Tayo's house in record time.
The guards led me inside.
Madam Tayo was in her sitting room.
A large tablet was propped on the table before her.
Sounds came from the tablet. The sounds were weird but the volume of the audio was low. I couldn't pinpoint what she was watching.
She was watching whatever was on the screen attentively. A cup of something unknown was in her right hand.
She would take a sip occasionally.
Madam Tayo.lookwd up when we walked in.
She tapped the screen of the tablet.
Sounds that were coming from the tablet stopped.
She raised a brow, "I thought I said Edna was under house arrest. She is not supposed to be here."
The leader of the guards stepped closer to her.
"True. Edna told us that she was ready to cooperate with your conditions. This is why we her here." He explained. Madam Tayo glanced at me, "Edna gave up easily? Really?"
"Yes." The leader of the guards nodded.
I walked yo one of the chair closer to Madam Tayo.
I took my seat leisurely.
My new position gifted me a glimpse of the content on Madam Tayo's tablet.
The connected bodies on the screen reflected in my pupils.
Madam Tayo was watching a sex tape.
I shouldn't be surprised but I was.
"Why are you so shocked? I have to keep up.with the times." Madam Tayo commented.
I guess my look of shock was too obvious.
I took a deep breath, "Whatever you do is up to you."
"All of you should stay outside. You are clogging the air with your presence." Madam Tayo instructed the guards.
The leader of the guards nodded.
He signalled the rest of he guards.
Finally, all of them filed out of Madam Tayo's apartment.
When the guards left, I felt more relaxed.
"Did you really agree to my demands." Madam Tayo said.
After the last word dropped from her lips, she sipped the liquid in her cup.
I shrugged, "Not really. I still need time to adapt. I am not going to get used to something that is so different from me immediately. It doesn't work like that."
Her face darkened, "So, you are playing with me by coming here? Am I a joke to you? Have I been too lenient?"
"I just felt like visiting you so I made up that excuse." I lied.
A tiny prick landed on my conscience but I ignored it.
Lying is bad.
This time would just be another exception.
"Haha, lies and more falsehoods." Madam Tayo laughed heartily, "Don't worry about those things. I have decided to take another route. The way I came up with to tackle this matter is great, if I do say so myself. There is no need to force you to be knowledgeable about the things of the bedroom. Your first partner would teach you the ropes and tricks."
"Huh?" I straightened up, "What do you mean?"
It was her turn to shrug, "I don't mean much. It's so simple. I don't have to rack my brain to teach you anymore. I am going to auction your virginity very soon. The first man that would have you would teach you what you need to know in the future."
"No!" The word dropped for my lips before I had time to think.
"You don't have a choice here. What I said it's going to happen, whether you like it or not." She smiled before sipping another mouthful from the contents of her cup.
Suddenly, a scream broke the atmosphere.
The rebuttal that was on the tip of my tongue disappeared and I rose to my feet.
That scream sounded like it came from Joanna.
Had the trap I set worked?
It was so soon.
"Guards!" Madam Tayo called loudly.
The leader of the guards rushed in.
"Madam Tayo." He called respectfully.
"Something happened. Check it out and report to me." She ordered.
"I had sent people to look into this issue. A report will soon be made." He replied.
A few minutes later, another guard walked in.
He was breathing heavily.
It was obvious that the guard had really tried all his best to be as fast as possible.
"What's wrong?" Madam Tayo asked.
I sat back down.
Madam Tayo glanced at me with suspicion shining in her pupils.
My behavior was over the top. I knew that too.
It was just an instinctual response.
"Something happened to Joanna and the patrons she was serving." The guard said.
"Speak quickly, we don't have all day." Madam Tayo prompted.
The guard nodded, "Painful and disgusting rashes appeared on the skins of Joanna and the customer she was with. The customer is extremely dissatisfied. Currently, we don't know what caused this rashes." The door was pushed with force.
The door hit the adjacent wall because of the momentum.
Joanna rushed in.
I almost didn't recognize her.
She wasn't the beautiful and warm facade she liked to portray.
She was unkempt and her skin was dark red.
Multiple rashes and boils was on her skin.
I can not imagine the kind of pain she was feeling.
Still, I didn't care.
This was the fate she wanted for me.
She deserve no pity, not even the slightest bit.
I would save my pity and sympathy for the people that deserved it.
"Madam Tayo, help me! I am in trouble!" She fell at Madam Tayo's feet.
Joanna clutched Madam Tayo's leg like it was the key to heaven.
"Please help me." She repeated frequently.
A stench was wafting from her body.
I wrinkled my nose and leaned backwards.
Joanna with smelling like she had been dead for several days. The smell of rotten flesh was too hard to bear.
Then, her eyes snapped to me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Hatred clouded her pupils.
"You! I am sure you are the one behind this, Edna!" Her voice was filled with hatred and resentment.
I had the urge to laugh but I didn't.
